To affirm, there are prophets of God today. Furthermore, God still speaks to us, we need to learn how to listen.
Following the biblical convention, there are also false prophets and people who do not know how to listen.
One way of knowing a prophet is false, is that they lie, and then twist their words to save face.
Falsehood, doubled down with pride does not represent the living God.
To state, "falsehood = God speaking," is to call God a liar - so the message does not follow.
However, human error or intentional deceit does not negate the fact that God still speaks to us directly today.
You can discuss the above, or about how to listen for God's voice , and provide scriptures to encourage others to do the same.
My encouraging message today for those who have been given the opportunity to humble themselves is from 2 Corinthians 12:9.
"I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me"
So you were wrong, so what? humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, and he will lift you up - higher and higher as the song goes.
