Power from the Spirit
Commentators emphasize the stark contrast between Micah and the false prophets. While they drew influence from popular opinion, Micah's authority was a direct gift, being "full of power by the Spirit of the Lord." This shows that true spiritual effectiveness is not a human achievement or a result of popularity, but a divine empowerment that enables boldness regardless of circumstances.
