Why some people like Jeremiah Johnson err with the gift of prophesy:
Warning: Because we know in part, and we prophesy in part. Scripture says that we know in part and we prophesy in part (I Corinthians 13:9). It is imperative not only to realize that we can be wrong, but that we are seldom completely right. None of us ever really sees the whole picture, but only in part. If we possess this humility of heart and mind, we can avoid many unnecessary errors and mistakes. Remember that regardless of how accurate we may be in our revelation and interpretation, we are only seeing part of the picture. We must realize that there is also more wisdom and insight for a situation than what we are seeing. Be open to receiving additional insight from others and from the Lord. Some of the most gifted prophetic ministers I know often misinterpret the revelation they receive. God allows this for several reasons:
1) to keep those who are profoundly gifted humble and teachable, 2) to keep us dependent on Him, and 3) to keep us from wrongly elevating prophetically gifted people to a place of infallibility.
