Most of the prophets spoken of in this chapter are not prophets of God. They are Ahab's prophets. The prophet that lied to the king was also not one of God's prophets. The lying spirit came and asked to entice king Ahab and God allowed it to happen and allowed the lying spirit to speak through these false prophets because they chose to let it speak through them. God will not stop us from doing anything we want as He gives every one free choice including prophets. Micaiah was a prophet of God who did lie to Ahab because he knew what Ahab wanted here. He later told Ahab the truth of what God wanted him to say to the king. Micaiah chose to lie and God did not stop him from doing so.

One must read around the verses in question to find out what the context the verses are and to know what the rest of the story is about to know how to understand and interpret specific verses.

How did the prophets deliver their message to the people?

Bible Prophets were direct communication between humans and God. Bible prophets spoke directly to God and served as mediators and told people what God said. Then when Jesus Christ was born he became the mediator and still is to this day. Jesus can take all of our sins and forgive them, he can talk to us through the Bible, and we can talk to him through prayer. Jesus takes care of our sins because he loves us, if it were not for him dying on the cross we may never be close to God. Jesus is the bridge from man to God, this was a road that was there in the Garden of Eden, but this road collapsed when humans chose Sin over God through temptation from the Devil. This separated us from God and Jesus, God's only begotten Son restored that bond between us and the Father who is in Heaven. If we believe in Jesus and trust in him and ask him for forgiveness we will go to Heaven with Jesus the Savior and God the Father.
