"And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets."
All these means is that the message giving by someone who claims to be a "prophet" must be subject(or tested by previous prophetic messages) to what other prophets have spoken. If the message contradicts scripture and the prophets, the such individual is not a prophet of God. His message must be subject to the spirit of truth and if speaks against it, there is no light in them. ( Isaiah 8:20) To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
"For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints."
