The Greek word for “prophesies” is propheteuo (prof-ate-yoo’-o); meaning: to foretell events, divine, speak under inspiration, exercise the prophetic office. (New Exhaustive Strong’s Numbers and Concordance). These prophesies given through the proclamation of the word, or a word of knowledge or wisdom, must be in agreement with the “whole counsel” of God’s word. We must guard ourselves against so-called “new” revelations.
1 John 4:1
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. NKJV
1 Timothy 4:1-3
Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron. NKJV
2 Timothy 4:3-4
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. NKJV
There are times when God may speak to His people through dreams and visions, (Joel 2:28); but those dreams and visions are subject to the “already” revealed word of God, fully manifested in Christ! God now speaks to His church and the world through the revelation of His Son. We do not need a “new revelation” or “fresh word!” Christ is the fullness of God’s revelation (John 1:1, 14).
Hebrews 1:1-3
God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. NKJV
John 16:13-15
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you. NKJV
Indeed He (Holy Spirit) has done this; as the revelation of things to come has indeed been revealed not only by the prophets of old, but to the New Testament apostles. as well. But He will “glorify” Me, rather than glorify a “technique” or “formula.” We are to be led by the Spirit of God, He is our ultimate teacher and guide. The “notion” that prophecy dose not have to be 100% accurate opens the door to heretical teachings and the doctrine of demons.
I hope this information has been helpful. Based on the “false” assumptions of this so-called prophet John Paul Jackson, I cannot recommend his ministry and would “strongly” urge you to disassociate yourself with his teachings. There’s no doubt that some of the things taught are biblically sound; however, remember, a “half-truth” is always a “whole lie!” We are all growing and learning in Christ, but “immaturity” is never an excuse for “false” claims regarding the Holy Spirit and Word of God. The Holy Spirit has been given to us to lead us into all “truth,” not half-truths.
Be Sober and Vigilant, For His Glory,

Deuteronomy 4:23-24
For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. NKJV

For You have magnified Your word above all Your name. NKJV
