Do Screech Owls Represent an Evil Spirit?
The other day, a dear friend shared that they wondered if a spirit of strife had come into their life because they had purchased a secondhand print of screech owls. My friend explained a prominent prophet had gotten rid of the owl collection they had on top of their fridge after receiving a word of wisdom that this collection of owls represented an evil spirit.
I do believe this very reliable prophet received an important word. However, it seems to me that this prophetic word was not about owls - it was about something much more important.
Scripture:
- 1 Thessalonians 5:20 προφητείας μὴ ἐξουθενεῖτε
;
Are owls representative of evil spirits? Should we be tossing out all the images of owls in our homes?
What should we do when we receive a word like this?
My go-to action is to pray. When I prayed about this question about owls and the spirit they might represent, I was led to several surprising discoveries in scriptural translation that seemed to support what I received in the spirit. The word this prophet received was not about owls!
Today's word from Dr. David Jeremiah emphasizes the importance of using scripture for winnowing out wheat from chaff and the revelation we receive. This post contains what I learned about owls in the Bible, scriptures related to the importance of prophetic revelation and an excerpt from the email I was led to read from Dr. David Jeremiah.
