How to be a Prophet in 8 Easy Steps!
Would
you like to be a Prophet? Apparently there are dozens of
people who claim to be and wish to be a prophet.
Tragically, I have only met two true Men of God in my
lifetime that I would consider to hold the office of a
Prophet. Their prophecies were extremely accurate and to
the point and they were correct 100% of the time, despite
being rejected by those around them.
Anyway,
here is a series of 8 easy ways that YOU TOO can be a
prophet in today's church!
Step 1: Make lots of predictions, and hope that some
come true. Make predictions about lots of different
subject matters, that way you have a better chance of
getting some right. If some do come true, point to them
with pride. Ignore the others and don't mention them.
Step 2: Be very vague and ambiguous. Never be
specific about anything since definite statements can be
wrong. If you make "possible" statements, they can
always be reinterpreted. Make sure you use descriptive
modifiers like these wherever possible:
I
feel that . . .
I see
a picture of . . .
It
might be that . . .
Perhaps . . .
Look
for . . .
I'm
getting . . .
If
I'm hearing correctly . . .
Someone in here has _____________ (insert your favorite
malady or trouble. This works especially well in large
crowds. It's a given that in a crowd of 500, someone
has 'financial trouble' or has 'health problems')
Step 3: Use a lot of symbolism. Be metaphorical,
using images of animals, general names, and initials.
They can be fitted to many situations by believers.
Step 4: Cover the situation both ways and select the
winner as the "real" intent of your statement. For
example, tell someone a particular thing will happen to
them then tell them "but if" you repent or "if" you do
so-and so or (and this is a favorite) "if you'll just
sow a seed in faith", God won't let this happen. If a
bad thing does happen, you can say "See?" You didn't
repent (or didn't do or sow "in faith"). If the bad
thing doesn't happen you can say See? I told you what
to do so it wouldn't happen and you repented (or did
whatever or sowed the seed "in faith") This is favorite
gimmick of false prophets everywhere.
Step 5: Credit God with your success, and blame
yourself for any incorrect interpretations of His divine
messages. This way, skeptics and "finger pointers" have
to fight God. This is a good one and you'll hear this
often. The false prophets when confronted with their
false prophecies all like to say "well, I just "missed"
God on that one" or "I guess I didn't hear correctly".
Step 6: No matter how often you're wrong, plow ahead
anyway. As long as you provide new sensational
prophecies, Believers won't notice your mistakes, and
will continue to follow your every word. This way, you
get your name spread abroad like wildfire and as long as
you get a prediction right once in a while, most the
church today will think you really are a prophet.
Step 7: Predict catastrophes, especially
earthquakes; they are more easily remembered and more
popular by far. Don't EVER be specific though unless
you're predicting one for California since they have
quakes all the time. Most of your disaster predictions
won't come true, but when one eventually does, you'll
have fame for your "right" prediction and believers will
have forgotten all about your other false predictions.
Step 8: When predicting after the fact of an event
(before someone actually catches wind of the event), but
representing that the prophecy preceded the event, be
wrong just enough to appear uncertain about the exact
details; too good a prophecy is suspect and subject to
close scrutiny.
If you
follow these steps, you'll learn to be a prophet for
today's church in no time. Who cares that the bible says
you must be 100% right in EVERY case or you are a false
prophet? Just because it is written in the bible, we
can't actually believe the old outdated, archaic OLD
Testament Word of God can we? I mean, we're supposed to
be full of "love" and "mercy", right?
Deuteronomy 18:22 "When a prophet speaketh in the name
of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass,
that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but
the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt
not be afraid of him."
We
have mega-evangelists who are wrong all the time and they
still have followers, so what's the big deal if you miss a
few here and there? Right?
Friends, the church today is deceived beyond belief.
Why? They are following signs and wonders. Jesus said
this was an indication of an evil and adulterous
generation:
Matthew 16:4 "A wicked and
adulterous generation seeketh after a sign;..."
Perhaps
the Prophet Jeremiah said it best:
Jeremiah 6:16 "Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the
ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the
good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for
your souls...."
Beloved, you need to TRY these so called prophets of today
by the very Word of God which they proclaim to speak. If
their words and their predictions are "generalized" or if
they do not come to pass, you should wholeheartedly reject
them as being a prophet. They are NOT a true prophet of
God!
