**What happens when you encounter a false prophet?** Joseph Z and Prophet Brian Gibson continue to discuss accuracy in prophecy and the relevance of proximity in sharing words of knowledge. They highlight the importance of practice and remaining grounded in God’s word, with love as the key motivation in prophesying to people.
In discussing the accuracy of prophecy, Brian explains that we "know in part and prophesy in part." He cites Agabus, a New Testament prophet who predicted that Paul would be bound by the Jews; however, Paul ultimately faced imprisonment by the Romans instead.

For those prophets who hesitate to prophesy due to fear of inaccuracies, he encourages them to speak boldly while humbly acknowledging that they cannot be completely correct, much like Agabus did.
Brian also notes that being close to someone can make it easier to receive a word of knowledge about them. He emphasizes the importance of sharing only what we perceive about a person without adding anything unnecessary. Additionally, he reveals that prophets need to practice in order to learn how to operate effectively, highlighting that our gifts can become dull if we don’t use them consistently.
Joseph warns that when prophets are not grounded in God’s word, they can slip into unclear territory with their prophecies. They can become true prophets if they heed a rebuke or fall into false prophecy if they reject it. Brian reiterates that the motivation behind every prophecy must be love; anything else is a counterfeit. He encourages us to be cautious about the voices we listen to and to ensure we are always striving to hear God’s voice in every situation.
