A True Prophecy by John Hagee

If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, 'Let us go after other gods'; which you have not known; 'and let us serve them, you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the LORD your God is testing you to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Deuteronomy 13:1-3

If A Prophecy Comes True And It Promotes Disobedience Against God Or The Scripture, It Is Not A True Prophecy!

Moses clearly states that just because the prophecy comes true does not mean the person who gave it is from God.  Looking to that prophet for “the answer” instead of God is idolatry that will bring the judgment of God upon you.

Paul encountered a young woman possessed with a spirit of divination Acts 16:16-18 who followed him through the streets and everything that came out of her mouth was true.  Without doubt many local charismatics went to her for guidance and touted her as a “spiritfilled woman.”  She was spiritfilled…filled with a demon spirit.

Paul commanded for the demon spirit to come out right on the street and the spirit of divination came out that same hour.  She was a slave and her master was furious because he was getting rich off her ability to give accurate predictions to other people.

Get it straight!  Satan will tell you enough truth to get you to listen, and then he’ll subtly lead you concept by concept into deception until you are his mental and emotional prisoner.
