And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: Joel 2:28
........for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Revelation 19:10 & His remnant in the End Times to hold up the light of truth to the world will have it-And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation 12:17
A postcanonical prophecy/prophet must 1) Totally be in harmony with the canon of scripture (Bible). To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Isaiah 8:20 2) Judged carefully by the community. Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. 1 Corinthians 14:29 3) Content of the prophecy should be edifying to the community. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 1 Corinthians 14:3 4) Prophecy should be done in an orderly way. For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 1 Corinthians 14:33
For someone to have the gift of prophecy since the close of the canon of scripture-they have the same INSPIRATION as the Biblical writers-but NOT the same AUTHORITY as the Biblical writers. For whatever they give as a message cannot add or take away from scripture. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Revealation 22:19 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:18 For I am the LORD, I change not; Malachi 3:6
If someone in any Church would happen to be given the gift of prophecy for their Church--- Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;Romans 12:6 --- It would 1) Point to the Scriptures 2) Illuminate teachings already there 3) Apply principles of Scripture to the daily life 4) Reprove, warn & instruct to stay on course 5) Protect from false doctrines.
As E.G.W. tell us- "The written testimonies are not to give new light, but to impress vivdly upon the heart the truths of inspiration already given." Testimonies for the Church Vol. 5, p.665 "The testimonies were not given to take the place of the Bible." Testimonies for the Church vol. 5, p.663 "Let the testimonies be judged by their fruits. What is the spirit of their teachings? What has been the result of their influence?" Testimonies for the Church vol. 5, p.671 "The cares of the world, the love of fashion, and the lack of religion have turned the attention from the light God has so graciously given, while books and periodicals containing error are traveling all over the country. Skepticism and infidelity are increasing everywhere." Testimonies forthe Church vol. 5, p.681 "If we ever reach heaven, it will be by linking our souls to Christ, leaning upon Him, and cutting loose from the world, its follies and enchantments" Testimonies for the Church vol. 6, p.148 ……the thoughts and interests of the people of God, especially the young. In one scale were the thoughts and interests tending heavenward; in the other were the thoughts and interests tending to earth. And in this scale were thrown all the reading of storybooks, thoughts of dress, and…vanity, pride, etc….the angels of God, standing with scales, weighing the thoughts of His professed children,….The scale filled with thoughts of earth…quickly went down…rolled from the scale. The one with the thoughts and interests tending to heaven went quickly up as the other went down….the angel with the scales weighing the thoughts and interests of the people of God, said the angel: Can such enter heaven? NO, NO, NEVER. Testimonies for the Church vol. 1 p. 124-125
But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: Acts 2:16-18
