It is always best to verify.
These are the commandments and the rules that the Lord commanded through Moses to the people of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
Numbers 36:13 ESVST
God spoke through Moses to the people. Today, the principle of God speaking still holds, even though His methods have changed. Today, God speaks to us through His Word. As a leader, I may say the words of God, but you can check and see if I am right by searching the Scriptures and comparing what I declare to what God has declared. If what I say differs from what God says, then I am wrong.
We are not suggesting that God does not use people or leadership today, for He certainly does. However, He uses those who know and love Him to represent what He has said. He uses those who choose to draw near Him and love others.
Manipulators, self-seekers, and power mongers are not of God, and it's best not to listen to them, even if they claim what they are saying is from God. It is always best to verify.
