The prophet Daniel had numerous gaps between his prophetic revelations. He had his first as a young man in Dan 2. He had another one a few years later in Dan 4. Then...DECADES later he had a revelation in the first year of Belshazzar in Dan 7. He had another a couple of years later in Bel's 3rd year in chapter 8. He had another years later in Darius' 1st year in Dan 9. He then had another in the 3rd year of Cyrus in Dan 10. Are we seeing a pattern here? Perhaps not a numeric one but we should see that there are often huge gaps of time between divine revelations in even the most profound of prophets. It is for this very reason I question the validity of those who claim to hear from God on a daily basis...as if His voice is a common occurrence. I challenge anyone to prove from scripture that such daily revelations are constant and immediate. I hear false prophets claim to hear His voice all through the day everyday. That has not been my experience. I am not a prophet but I have had divine revelations through the years that have encouraged some and saved the life of others. They have not been an everyday occurance.

I am extremely skeptical of the current (and especially US version) of evangelical prophetic ministries. There is zero accountability. It's just another grift.

Considering the OT judgment on false prophets, you'd think there would be some sense of caution about speaking for the Lord.

What the prophets spoke, never tickled ears. Jump to the NT, the warnings about tickling of the ears... so yeah, false prophets.

They would have to read the Bible to know that part…
