I know a guy who got totally messed up from a "word" from a "well known prophet." It went like this...
Out of the blue this prophet calls him out of the congregation. Speaks that he has been called to help the addicted, bring freedom, and all the good anointing stuff. This was totally out of the blue. He had never considered, desired, or even thought about working with the addicted.
He quits his job and goes to work at a half way house. Working with, teaching, mentoring and fulfilling "the call of God on His life."
When I came into his life he asked me why nothing was working. Why he hated being at this place. Why he couldn't make ends met when God had "called him."
To me it was obvious...we are not led by prophecy or "a word" we are led by the Spirit. Any "word" that comes along should bring confirmation to how the Spirit is leading us.
