1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world
One of ny associates in the ministry told me about his encounter with a prophet. Actually, the prophet approached him when he came visiting someone in his neighbourhood
He gave him accurate proohetic insight. He knew what the prophet said was true. However, he was scripturally sound enough to know that he should discard such a prophet and his predictions because the same prophet consults for 'yahoo' boys ( internet fraudsters) in his neighbourhood.
His ministry is heavily sponsored by those guys. Those guys built a massive sound-proof cathedral for him. I saw it myself. The source of his accurate prophecies are questionable because the fruit of his ministry doesn't align with scriptures.
Some immature believers may be freaked by the accuracy of his prophetic declarations. Such people may say that "If his prophecies are accurate, then it must be God". I have heard this narrative severally and It gives me concern.
The girl that Paul and Silas met in Acts 16 prophesied accurately yet Paul knew that the source of her prediction was purely demonic. She operated by the spirit of divination.
Paul should have said "that accuracy is a confirmation or it can only be from God" but Apostle Paul was too sensitive to allow a demoniac speak about him. He dealt with the spirit immediately.
Don't be deceived by 'prophetic accuracy'. Check the source through the word and observe the fruit of the prophet.
A prophet once questioned why people were concerned about his immoral life. He was a chronic womanizer. He told his congregation that since his prophecies still come to pass, no one should be bothered about him. That's a time-bomb waiting to explode.
The devil through familiar spirits and demon of divination can speak through people and be accurate.
Someone walked into a prophetic church and God opened her eyes to see snakes on the altar. That's the spirit of divination at work. That spirit is working tirelessly this end time.
God is not concerned about proofs, results and physical manifestations as much as He is about the source. Discern the source and check the fruit.
Father, I refuse to be deceived In Jesus name.
