Episode 27 - The Jehoshaphat Series: Finding Truth Among False Prophets (2 Chronicles 18:3-13 NIV)

Spiritual discernment requires recognizing false prophets and seeking God's truth beyond the crowd of yes-men that only tell us what we want to hear. We examine the biblical story of Jehoshaphat and King Ahab to understand the importance of testing advice against God's word.

• King Ahab consults 400 prophets who unanimously support his desire to go to war
• Jehoshaphat wisely asks for a true prophet of the Lord, recognizing the others as yes-men
• Micaiah, the one dissenting voice, stands apart from the crowd and speaks only God's truth
• We need to fortify our hearts with scripture before battles come, not during them
• Memorizing scripture creates spiritual protection for times of crisis or decision

Take time this week to choose and memorize a scripture that speaks to your current situation. Commit to "engrafting" (plant firmly) God's word in your heart so it will be available when you need divine guidance most.
