Several years ago, a good friend of mine invited me to the service of someone who was known by many to be a "prophet." I wasn't interested in attending, so I initially refused the invitation.Despite my initial reluctance, my friend shared many stories of how this "prophet" predicted events that came true in my friend's life. To appease my friend, I finally attended one of the services. However, looking back, I regret my decision as I found out later that the whole thing was a trap of the devil. I wish I had known this beforehand and not wasted my time and energy on it.
In short, a self-proclaimed prophet had made some prophecies about my life, and I, being ignorant, had agreed with him. However, his predictions actually caused a negative impact on my life, hindering me physically and requiring years of study to understand the spiritual damage that I had allowed him to inflict upon me.
In my quest to learn more about these evil people due to what was done to me. I discovered a common trend among them, and that is these so-called prophets are always trying to prove to their victims that they are from God by revealing things from their victim's past or providing history about their victim's life or a family member, etc. Well, this is precisely what familiar spirits also do. Just think about it for a second; there is nowhere in Scripture where God, through the men and women He used, had to reveal things wrong with an individual to prove they were from God. If a so-called prophet describes your bedroom or provides your street address or telephone number, does that make him a prophet? Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't Scripture instruct us to try the" spirit" to determine if that person is of God, 1 John 4:1? Why isn't anyone testing the spirit of these folks?
A prophet is a person who declares what God has told them, particularly concerning future events. Thus, there are false and true prophets, so the question is, which spirit or deity is speaking through this prophet?. When God speaks through a real prophet, it is usually along the lines of God's will for that individual's life. Whatever it is that God is saying, it will, for the most part, be about God's future plans for that person that he has already established and, more importantly, their ministry on earth to advance the kingdom of God while fulfilling the will of God. This is why God said the following, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end" Jeremiah 29:11. An expected end refers to things concerning the future that God has already declared.
Therefore, a false prophet will mostly take you back in time, focusing on past events that will feed and satisfy your flesh to convince you that they are real. At the same time, they brought glory to themselves, thus decorating themselves with titles such as super prophet, master prophet, chief prophet, etc. Did Jesus, the greatest prophet of all, ever refer to himself or label himself as the master or super duper prophet? Instead, he humbly said he does nothing unless his Father instructs him. Nevertheless, the false prophet will continue to concentrate on your hurt of the past, describing the interior of your home, speaking about current events such as bad relations with family members, jealousy on the job, or revealing your phone number, street address, etc.
Imagine Jesus prophetically speaking to someone. Can you imagine him doing this? These are all demonic tactics calculated by evil spirits, in particular, familiar spirits working through these false prophets via divination. Trying the spirit to see if it is of God means that your spirit will bear witness to whether that so-called prophet has the spirit of God operating in him despite what may seem to be true in what he's saying. It won't add up to you spiritually if they are not of God. In other words, something seems wrong even though some things the "prophet has said are true. Scripture says, "But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned" 1 Corinthians 2:14. Did you get that? "The things of God are spiritually discerned." This is why the false prophet stays focused and, at the same time, keeps your focus on natural things such as prophesying phone numbers, street addresses, etc. Such things are not spiritually discerned; these things are being compared to what your flesh recognizes to trap you.
When I understood this, I had to go back and review my life and begin coming against the false prophecies spoken over my life that I, in my ignorance, agreed to by accepting the word of these "prophets." I was confused for many years, wondering why things were not happening for me, especially since I was doing everything biblical to change my circumstances. I didn't know that those false prophecies over my life were the invisible barriers that had set restrictions on my life. Hear me today, my friend. God is a God of covenants, and he honors covenants; if you've knowingly or unknowingly made a covenant with these false prophets, then this could be why your life is going absolutely nowhere, if not backward.
I want to say to someone today. Yes! Some of the things the so-called prophet has said may be true. However, Scripture says, "he that is spiritual compare spiritual things with spiritual things. In fact, here is what Scripture says, "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. If the things of God are freely given by God, then why are prophets and their cohorts demanding that you sow a seed as a result of what was prophesied? This is a major red flag, my friend. We also speak of those things, not in the words that man's wisdom teaches, but the Holy Ghost teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual, 1 Corinthians 2:12-13. Just think about it: year after year, prophecy after prophecy, and there has either been zero manifestation, the opposite of what was said has happened, or things have worsened. When will you wake up and conclude that these circus performers had your life on hold and anchored in a desert place with their lies and deception, not to mention the thousands of dollars you've paid for those lies and web of deceit they've sold you over the years. Please retrieve your spiritual compass and ask God to redirect you to where you should have been at this point in your life while at the same time renouncing and rejecting every false prophecy that has ever been spoken over your life in the name of Jesus Christ!
"For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit" Romans 8:5
