From my own personal experience it is not safe to induce a prophetic word from man. We are too flawed and limited in our understanding of the deepness of God. In my journey with Christ I've learned, and still learning, that His method of communication is always the Word. He would never speak differently or seperately from the Word. Whatever prophetic words given must always take you back to the Word otherwise it is not from God. Being in one accord is very important. The Spirit can deliver one Word but it can have so many meanings to different people in different places based upon what they are going through and where they are with the Lord. When my husband and I receive the Burns' daily prophetic words, we relate differently to it becuase we are in different spiritual processes but in one accord becuase we know it is for the purpose for God to be glorified as He builds us up in the Word. The Burns' prophetic Word from the Lord really helps us to search our sinful heart and mind and equips us to be still, test the spirits, seek HIm to elaborate what His concern are towards our walk with Him and what or how He wants us to deal with it so that we can become more Christlike in every fiber of our being and continue in the work He purposed for us to do in Him.
I always read through all the Prophetic Insight posts here and seek the Lord to discern what He is speaking to His people and I'm always amazed that everyone is in one accord with the Spirit...well at least some, but the message is always the same: Christ is with us, He loves us, and He knows the plans He has for us but we need to make the effort to seek Him in His Word, apply the Word, live the Word, pray the Word, preach the Word, sing the Word, manifest the Word in our works, lifestyle, demeanor, attitude, mindset, speech- for He is the Living Word that never returns void.
So in a nutshell, be still, seek God in His Word, seek Him in prayer to open the Word to you, don't look at your circumstances or situations (that's one of my biggest stumbling blocks), look at what God is trying to do in your life to mold you into Christlikeness and be a fisher of man. God is always speaking, it's just a matter of being in the right spiritual posture to hear Him....and if we still can't hear Him then repentance is a great ear cleanser....
I will pray that the Lord, in whichever method (radio, book, friend, etc) to manifest a rhema Word that will draw you deeper in Him in the Word and give you peace. He is faithful.
