Ezekiel 13 [CEV] says:
**Ezekiel, son of man, condemn the prophets of Israel who say they speak in my name, but who preach messages that come from their own imagination. Tell them it’s time to hear my message. 3 I, the Lord God, say those lying prophets are doomed! They don’t see visions—they make up their own messages! 4 Israel’s prophets are no better than jackals[a] that hunt for food among the ruins of a city. 5 They don’t warn the people about coming trouble or tell them how dangerous it is to sin against me.**
We must learn to speak the truth, not make up words which are ear tickling and fanciful to please the listener. The word of God is good for correction, direction, instruction, discipline, as well as encouragement but not all words of prophecy, not all dreams & visions, are going to be ear tickling.
Trials are sent to build up our faith and teach us to trust in the God we now have a personal relationship with.
All believers have the Holy Spirit otherwise they have not been born again. If a believer has the Spirit, he has all of the Spirit, because God is not divisible.
However how we die to self and not be attracted to the world and the flesh, and cooperate in obedience to the Lord will dictate how much He can use our life.
Jesus promises John 7:38-39 “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
