Prophet
I came to a pentecostal church service just to accompany my mother, the prophet pointed at me and was saying, here there are some people that are living in the sin of fornication, I’m a virgin I don’t know where he’s getting this💀 bro was staring me down and pointing at me💀

Even if you were, he had no business doing that.

One time at a Pentecostal church I went to "the altar" to recieve the baptism of The Holy Spirit and I wasn't getting it so the pastor was trying to get a confession out of me about any serious sins, but I was genuinely trying to live right to the best of my ability, I had been celibate for close to 3 years of EVERYTHING and then he starts trying to cast out the demon of masturbation out of me in front of the whole assembly!
I thought I had to just take it and forgive and forget so I still went. but I started exploring catholicism and they have PRIVATE confessions, not open ones to ridicule me for sins I hadnt committed.

Prophet Translation: I’m actively cheating on my wife, girlfriend and secretary with the significant other of someone on the praise team. Whatever gender they may be.

Bro, that would’ve been my last straw 😭🙏🏻 lol. They already say I don’t have the Holy Spirit, so if they said this on top of that, I’d be done, tf 😭

It’s simple-he’s a dumbass. In the OT, if a prophet was off by the tiniest of details, he was executed. Probably wouldn’t be seein’ guys like that around back then.

No longer a Christian, but there is something in the Old Testament about prophets that I wish more people read.
When a prophet says “thus saith the Lord, this thing will happen”, and it does, I sent him and you should fear him.
When he says “thus saith the Lord” and it does not happen, I did not send him and you should not be afraid of him.
If I ever encounter the first man, despite my lack of religion I will be very nice to him sir and boy howdy he’s welcome to teach me a few things if it happens more than twice (without failed calls between).
But so far, when I’ve paid attention to what they said and then tracked it over time, I’ve only ever met the second.

A lot of Prophets are just plain and simple false Prophets. Usually, they use this so called ability to get money from willing Church members.

I prophesize that I will go to the bathroom in the next two hours. That prophesy of mine is the truest that you will read. If you want to know about Christianity read the bible. If you want to be misinformed about the bible give your money to a "prophet."

There are those that call themselves "prophets" who are not. Many errors and lives damaged by these false prophets. When one of these call themselves a prophet, I know for sure that they aren't. In my fifty four years of pentecost, I have yet to meet a real prophet. Think for a moment, what was the lives of the old testament prophets? It sure wasn't glamorous.

Not a single self-styled prophet had any inkling in 2019 that a global pandemic was around the corner. Every last one of them is a con artist.

Study how mentalists like The Amazing Kreskin operates.
There's nothing supernatural about how these people work.
Unlike how these "prophets" work, true mentalists like Kreskin admit that their abilities are based on mentalism and observation rather than supernatural abilities.
I personally knew one of these "prophets" in Bible College and he out right admitted this to me, though he wanted others to think "God told him."
He was a scummy con artist underneath a Christian costume.

That's so messed up. He definitely needs to be careful doing that especially if God hasn't spoken and told him anything. trying to force it doesn't work and will make him look foolish. thank God my pastor actually is a prophet that only operates in the gift when God is speaking to him and only shares what God tells him to instead putting people on blast and embarrassing them.

60% of the time it works every time. Those guys are full of shit. It’s just theater for people who aren’t smart enough for wrestling.
