Deuteronomy 18:19

God's wordObedience

17 Then the LORD said to me, “They have spoken well.

18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. I will put My words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.

And I will hold accountable anyone who does not listen to My words that the prophet speaks in My name.

20 But if any prophet dares to speak a message in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or to speak in the name of other gods, that prophet must be put to death.”

21 You may ask in your heart, “How can we recognize a message that the LORD has not spoken?”
