The opposite of faith is not fear. It is sight.
Faith works through Love.
Sight works through Fear.
The prophetic is most powerful when it is driven by Love. When Love is the source, faith and boldness flow.
The opposite is also true. The prophetic is the weakest when it is driven by fear. When fear is the source, sight (instead of the prophetic) flows.
This is the reason why the prophetic largely failed during the pandemic, at least in Singapore.
FEAR.
When the prophetic is driven by fear, it will never represent the Word nor God.
During the pandemic (2020-2022), many prophetic voices failed to represent God. Many so-called prophetic men and women of God failed to hear from God. Because of FEAR.
Fear of men
Fear of the sheep
Fear of the government
Fear of lack of finances
Fear of sickness & disease
Fear of dying
Fear induced those prophetic voices then. They could not hear God. They heard other voices and were moved by sight. The visions, dreams and words they claimed to have received from God were all NOT from God.
They pushed people to go for the jab in the church and from the pulpit. They indirectly caused deaths by using the prophetic voices that they didn't hear from God.
Well, they will be judged for misusing the prophetic by God. We leave that to His judgment in His time.
If we can learn one simple thing from the pandemic, it is to avoid placing emphasis on prophetic voices in perilous times, no matter how big and credible they seem to be. Instead, place your focus on the Word of God --- one that is unshakable, unchanging and immovable.
The Word is the only One that will keep you.
