the fatal flaw of the prophetic movement


Tree of Good and Evil · By ihave3kids · Flickr

I enjoyed the prophetic movement for many years, almost a decade. But Satan and its minions have infiltrated what had begun as a move of the Spirit.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.1 John 1:4
That scripture is in a nutshell what has made it so wrong, an inability or resistance to check everything against the word of God. I know this first hand, some warning signs had been there, but how can something that feels so good be bad?
I had noticed some unscriptural teachings, but still carried on, what made me take a second look was a close relative.
A few years ago we had a prayer meeting, and she came with a stuffed animal, a monkey, on her back. When questioned about it she proclaimed that God had told her to put it on.
I did not know this at the time, but for many, having a monkey on your back is to have a demon.
Dictionaries online say that the meaning is: to have a drug habit, to have a burden, something that you have to take care of. I like this explanation from Yahoo answers:
The phrase is derived from the notion that monkeys cling to things with their hands and their feet (they have opposable foot thumbs) and, were a monkey to climb onto your back where you can't reach him, you would have a very difficult time removing the monkey from your back, no matter what you tried, if the monkey chose not to climb down. What this implies is, by "having a monkey on your back," the negative situation has taken on a life of its own and is willfully imposing itself on you.
I dared not say anything to her, but began to seriously questioning the prophetic movement, specially since this person has become a leader at a ministry here in town. Through the years I have seen even more bizarre actions take place, of course these can be dismissed by the Biblical prophets actions (lie on your left side for 390 days, marry a prostitute). And as some say this is a fine line about judging these actions, but there is one that cannot be denied:
Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
Matthew 7:20
So instead of writing an even longer post, I leave you with these things, become a Berean (Acts 17:10) , check the fruit (Matthew 7, Luke 6) and watch this YouTube video named The False Revival (comparison).
Something of note: after watching said video I asked God for forgiveness for ever opening myself to false spirits, without checking and praying, I rebuked the enemy and any spirit that is not from God, and there was a strong demonic manifestation, which left afterwards.

how to make worship flags

Image
I have been making flags for worship for several years and I decided to write about how to make flags for worship. The simplest way to make a flag for worship. You will need: Fabric (preferably light and airy) any length Scissors Wooden rod ¾” in diameter (I have found out is the best size) Hot glue Sewing machine with thread matching the color of your fabric Sharpie or permanent marker (optional) Cut the flag to the desired size and sew around the edges, making sure that you pass through the corners several times so they don’t unravel. Sew a “pocket” on one edge about 1 1/2” wide; fold one of the edges of you flag and sew it to make a pocket, by making sure that you close one of the top ends also. Insert the rod in the pocket; glue the end with enough hot glue so the flag doesn't go anywhere. You are done! I like to use the “pocket” method of attachment because in case the rod breaks is a lot easier to unglue a little portion of the fabric than the whole thing, plus some fabrics

QR: the mark of the beast?

Image
For the longest time I had wondered if the mark of the beast was the VeriChip , but today I came to realize that I had been wrong. The QR (Quick Response) code is the most likely candidate, why I say this?: Because is cheap, just the cost of the tattoo ($40-60), versus the VeriChip (which can cost ten times as much). Any tattoo artist in any country can insert it without any special training. Is easy to use, no special equipment to use to scan it, just an iPhon3 and a free App and you are in business. It's easily visible, so you can keep a check of whom is in the system versus whom is not. It's scriptural: He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark * on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark* or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13: 17-18 *From the Greek charagma: a stamp, an imprinted mark Also, this generation loves tattoos: Thirty-s
