God speaks many ways. Listening and recording what comes to mind is one of them. Then it must be tested by two or three witnesses to be validated. Nine tests of true prophecy. They are: fulfillment (it must come to pass), accompanying conditions, scripture, public acknowledgement (prophecy must be judged by other prophets), confirmation of what God had already spoken, a witness in your spirit, the purity of the vessel (who is bringing it), the spirit of the message, and a discerning of the burden of the Lord in the message (God speaks from His heart for a purpose). God does speak to His people, and promised not to leave us unaware. His gifts are valuable for our edification, comfort, and guidance. Prophecy should give us peace and not torment. Jesus is the Prince of Peace.
