Written By Costi Hinn

Every year we hear of numerous prophecies by people who call themselves "prophets" or "prophetesses," yet these prophetic words do not come true.

What should we make of this? In this episode, Costi Hinn breaks down the true gift of prophecy and the office of prophet, while laying out 5 dangers with fallible prophecy from Dr. Nathan Busenitz.
