 Many profess to have a word from God. They declare warnings, prophetic utterances, or blessings, yet what comes forth often does not align with His nature, His character, or the love He carries for His people. This reveals something deeper than mistaken speech; it exposes the distance many have allowed to grow between themselves and the One they claim to represent.

God is intentional. He is strategic. Nothing He does is wasted, and nothing is out of order. To suggest otherwise is to misunderstand His nature. 

The Danger of Misrepresenting God's Voice

So when a person rises and says, “I don’t know who this is for,” it should sound alarms in our spirit. The God who knit every detail of creation together and who knows the number of hairs on your head does not speak in uncertainty. His voice does not fumble, guess, or wonder. He is precise. When He speaks, it is targeted. It is clear, and it is purposeful. To portray Him as confused or vague reveals a lack of true intimacy with Him.

Declaring warnings outside of biblical context is equally dangerous. When people present messages that stir fear rather than faith, the fruit reveals the root. Our God has never been the author of confusion, nor does He operate through empty fearmongering. 

True Prophetic Words and Their Purpose

True prophetic words flow from His Spirit and align with His Word. They build, strengthen, correct, and edify. They never tear down for the sake of spectacle or drama. When warnings are issued apart from the weight of His Spirit, they become more harmful than helpful. They cause hearts to tremble in fear of man’s words rather than anchor in the peace of God’s truth.

The Importance of Order in God's Kingdom

This danger is heightened when those without the God-given platform to reach the masses begin to speak as if they are carrying a global mandate. A voice may stir locally, and God can use it in mighty ways. But there is order in the kingdom. To step outside of that order is to misrepresent Him. We have to remember that influence is not the same as anointing. Having a stage does not mean God has given you His word for His people.

The Role of Fasting and Leadership

Consider also the practice of inviting others into corporate fasts apart from the Spirit’s leading and the authority of God-ordained leadership. Fasting is holy. It is consecrated. It is deeply personal and also deeply communal when directed by the Spirit of God. To call people into it recklessly, without covering or confirmation, is evidence of misunderstanding His order. Scripture reveals that God sets shepherds, pastors, and leaders over His flock to guide, protect, and provide accountability. To bypass that order is to bypass His structure, and in doing so, to misrepresent Him.

Balancing Intimacy and Order

The Spirit does operate in us individually, yes. He whispers to each heart, guiding and convicting with gentleness. But He also works corporately, through the leaders He has set in place. He is a God of both intimacy and order. He has always balanced the personal with the communal. Those who know Him understand this balance, and they walk carefully within it.

The Drift from True Knowing

The tragedy is that many have drifted from this kind of knowing. These are only a few examples of how we have fallen away from our first love. We have traded intimacy for influence, presence for platforms, and Spirit-led precision for fleshly performance. We have become more concerned with applause than with obedience. More interested in sounding spiritual than in being Spirit-filled.

But to truly know God is to know His voice. His sheep know His voice, and they follow Him. To know Him is to know His ways and His order. It is to recognize that He is not the author of confusion but of peace. To know Him is not to settle for shadows or half-truths. Anything less is a counterfeit of relationship, not the real thing.

So the question remains: Do you truly know Him? 

The Difference Between Knowing About God and Knowing God

Or have you settled for merely knowing about Him? There is a vast difference. Knowing about Him fills the mind with information. Knowing Him transforms the heart with intimacy. One leaves you quoting Scripture without power. The other leaves you living Scripture with authority.

To know Him is to walk with Him in surrender. It is to allow His Word to correct you, even when it cuts against your pride. It is to let His Spirit lead you, even when the path is uncertain to human eyes. It is to let His love flow through you, pouring into others not because of your strength but because of His.

This kind of knowing cannot be faked. It cannot be manufactured on a stage or stirred by emotion alone. It is the fruit of abiding. “By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked” (1 John 2:5-6, ESV). To abide is to remain. To remain is to trust. To trust is to obey. And to obey is to love Him above all else.

The Call for Intimacy and Surrender

The call of the hour is not for more voices. It is for more intimacy. It is not for louder noise. It is for deeper surrender. It is not for greater platforms. It is for greater purity. If we return to Him, if we fall at His feet again, we will find that His voice has never been silent. He is still speaking. The only question is, are we truly listening?
