So where did I hear this? From so called reputable sources. People that usually I listen to and take seriously. Unfortunately this time I am left gagging with disbelief. You see its not just that someone has thought that they heard God say, this. One can err obviously. But no you see there is this one seer/prophet who literally stood int he Counsel of God and heard God tell him this with his own ears:
Check it out.
Did you hear that? He was "caught up in the Spirit".
I'm confused. I mean, it wasn't that long ago that Nigerian Prophet TD Jakes prophesied that Hilary would be the next President. Or maybe its God who is confused! I mean, is it Trump or is it Hilary? Come on God - make up your mind!
On another website I see someone purporting to be a prophet who said with such certainty that God had spoken to her about Obama and that one thing He said to her was:
"I did not appoint Obama. Obama is a double tongued devil".
I mean come on! Does God even talk about people like that? But I bet she does!
But this has really caused me to doubt the prophetic. I mean come on! God is NOT anointing Trump to be the next president of the USA. Get real.
This leaves me with the distinct impression that there are ministries and "prophetic voices" out there that are either -
1) Lying and making things up - "I was stood in the Counsel of God and I heard this voice...."
2) Are literally deceived and do not know it.
If there is that much self deception, and lack of integrity out there under the name of prophetic ministry who can you trust in the end? How can you trust anyone?
Either way I do not want to trust these people. In fact ANYONE who has a political prophecy about Trump now is OFF the list. What that means for these peoples' credibility when Trump is not elected president is going to be worth watching.
Will they apologise? Will they admit that they got it wrong or will they retract the word (going to be hard to do when its out there on You Tube). Will they say that the devil thwarted God's purpose? How will they manipulate and twist the truth to ensure that they come out on top?
The whole - "I heard God say thing" - is kind of tainted with uncertainty. Yes you can hear God and get it right. But equally you see and you hear in part. You also miss it, and you have to be humble about it.
Most of these people aren't reading people's mail. Their prophetic gifting is just not that accurate. If it isn't, how much confidence can you have that any of them are really hearing God. Just sayin'.
90% of the prophetic you see and hear out there on line is junk. Thats the truth, pure and simple. Unless it comes with words of knowledge or a strong inner witness don't believe it, especially the fear merchants.
I did a trawl of Brexit prophecies. Interesting - hardly anyone predicted Brexit. I say hardly because one person claims to have back in 2008. But that hasn't stopped the christian looney mainstream from declaring that Brexit was God's will and it has freed the UK from being shackled to the "evil" of the EU, which by the way is somehow the beast in the book of revelation.
Oh yay God. Why are christians so weird?!
