Not Fortune Telling—Biblical Prophecy Explained

Oct 8, 2025    Pastor Jeffrey Anderson

In this verse-by-verse teaching on 1 Samuel 10:6, titled “Not Fortune Telling—Biblical Prophecy Explained,” we examine the true nature of biblical prophecy and how it differs from popular misconceptions. This passage shows that prophecy in Scripture is rooted in God’s revelation and purposes, not prediction for curiosity’s sake or mystical speculation.


Recorded on October 8, 2025, this study focuses on the transforming work of the Spirit, the meaning of prophetic activity in the Old Testament, and how God uses prophecy to confirm His word, strengthen faith, and call His people to obedience. As Saul is changed by the Spirit, we see that true prophecy always points back to God’s authority and redemptive plan.
