no doubt in our time God is saying and doing a mighty work among his church, but I think sometimes we have lost the focus that allows us to identify those words from God, and those that could come from a human source or a source with the sole purpose to steal, kill and destroy.
Within contemporary Christian congregations has become very fashionable to have a section within the meetings to which he called "ministry" in which people who feel a call because of the message stated above can happen to someone pray for them (usually the pastor or leaders) and sometimes declare a "prophetic word" the ear of the person who is being "ministers."
The problem arises in that in many cases this word is declared upon one person could come from any source other than be a word that comes from the mouth of God and we think these have gone out of his mouth but when one takes a word of God is not like yours, this tends to take away from the perfect plan he has for us.
is why I felt it necessary to give some tips that will help you identify what is of God and what is not, as undoubtedly we should be wise to seek and discern his will is theirs, retaining the good and discarding the bad.
1) Escudríñalo Everything.
One of the most important things to identify whether a word from God is always scrutinize everything in the light of the Bible, since what is of God does not contradict what is written because his word is truth.
In the book of Acts talks about the Church of Berea who chose to listen to that message I had been led by Paul and Silas, but every day they went to the scriptures to verify what they said was true.
JEWS living in that city were made more good for Jews of Thessalonica. LISTEN VERY HAPPY ABOUT THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS, AND EVERYDAY read the Bible to see if all what they are taught was true. 17:11 HCH
Obviously this church acquired wisdom to do this. Similarly we must always consider that those words that have been given at any time contradict what God has spoken through his word and if that word comes to contradict what the Bible clearly written in his inspiration is not God Himself.
2) Go to fulfill purpose.
What purpose fulfilled?, That's a key question to identify whether something is from God.
Whenever we hear a word being said to us, you must have a good purpose, but rather their purpose is inadequate, it can not come from God.
ALL Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 2Ti 3:16
The word is from God always accomplishes the purpose to teach, redargüirte or correct you, because this is the end for which has been sent, so the man of God may be , thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Instead we may come across words that have a completely different purpose, as there are words that are sent in order to harm us, discourage us, making us feel less and the worst with intent to destroy, which ultimately can not come from God.
3) Check your result.
Jesus said that every good tree bears good fruit, but every bad tree bears bad fruit.
Sometimes a word we get is difficult to identify at that time if it's God or not, but later these words can produce good or bad fruit, which clearly tell us whether we should continue to rely on that word or it must be discarded.
When we think of fruits, the first fruit we expect to occur is the result of spirit, since there is nothing to be against it.
BUT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, temperance: against such there is no law. GAL 5:22-23
If these fruits will have security that not only contradicts the word or did a good purpose, but it produces real food that makes life so that the words coming from the mouth of God always produce a correct result.
we also know that there are fruits that God does not like envy, jealousy, greed, the lust of the flesh, among others. If in your life derived from that word that you start to see fruits received contrary to the spirit must realize that God is not in and out of it.

I think there is still much more we could say that clearly identify what is of God, and what not, but these 3 tips that will give you help identify what is false .
In the movie "Catch Me if You Can" (atrápeme if you can) one of the things that struck me is how in the end the protagonist of Frank, who was involved in falsifying checks throughout the world, ends up working for the FBI fraud department because of its ability to identify counterfeit checks, and that in their attempt to reach "perfection", he learned enough to know what real checks at degree to see or touch one immediately identifies false because he knows what are the characteristics of the real.
Similarly we must learn to differentiate between true and false, but this derivative we know perfectly real. The more time we spend with God, learn to distinguish your voice so that when Satan tries to deceive us, we know that source is.
MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW, AND FOLLOW ME. JN 10:27
