The Prophets Prophesy Falsely
READING TIME: 8 MINUTES
It doesn’t matter how many people have a dream or a vision, how many decree or declare, how many prophesy or pray the very same thing…it doesn’t mean it’s from God! We must try the spirits!
Lou Engle wrote on the day of Graham's death, "It is my conviction that his passing is the signpost of a new day of evangelism and stadium Christianity breaking forth in America again."
Benny Hinn prophesied in 2012 that when Graham transitioned into glory, there would be a company that would "move into a manifestation of power, where there won't be just power on one or two, but upon multiplied thousands." He said, "It will be the key, the sign, of the beginning of the greatest revival on earth."
Shortly before Azusa Now, minister Chris Berglund had a dream in which he saw T.L. Osborne, Billy Graham and Derek Prince circled in prayer in the upper section of the stadium. Then, last summer he was told in a dream, "At Billy Graham's home-going, the greatest evangelistic outpouring will be ushered in."
Earlier in February, Neville Johnson published a similar word saying, "Billy Graham will make the journey home in this season, leaving behind a mantle that many will pick up. His mantle will be joined with the mantle that T.L. Osborn left behind, and this dual mantle will manifest as one evangelistic mantle that has never been seen in the earth before. With the integrity that Billy Graham had and the mighty signs and wonders that T.L. Osborn moved in, those who move in this dual mantle will reap an enormous harvest."
On February 28th, 2018, the body of Billy Graham laid in repose at the United States Capitol. At this occasion President Trump prayed a very poignant prayer for our nation, "...that all across this land the Lord will raise up men and women like Billy Graham to spread a message of love and hope to every precious child of God." (The above quotes are from this source: http://elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=19866)
Lana Vawser , from Brisbane, Australia shared: "When Billy Graham dies, a DOUBLE PORTION of the Elisha anointing will be released upon the earth!" As this decree was made the atmosphere was electric. That is the only way I can describe it. It was electric with the power of the Holy Spirit decreeing the end of an era and the beginning of a NEW ERA – the ERA of the GREATEST HARVEST AND MOVE OF THE SPIRIT upon the earth that we had EVER seen…It's the anointing of Billy Graham falling upon a generation of people. The decree established such a branding over this new era that the signs, wonders and miracles that would accompany the proclamation of the Word of God, would be UNPRECEDENTED.” (http://elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=19725)
Here is part of a prophecy given by Kim Clement on December 30, 2006: “A release of the gift of Faith has been given to the people of God. In the death of Billy Graham and Oral Roberts, a veil shall be torn that shall bring evangelism to the earth as never before…” (http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=4896)
From Jason Hooper, a pastor in Alabama: “Oral really spoke of faith in healing and Billy, of course, spoke of evangelism. So there’s actually a merging of the mantles that is available to this generation that I believe is going to release the greatest demonstration of faith, healing and evangelism this world has ever known.” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LiCTA0Vbx4&feature=youtu.be&t=1h13m37s)
Bob Jones, mentor to many in the NAR, said, “The body of Christ in not yet ready. When Billy Graham goes home it will release the next great wave. A wave of power evangelism like the world has never seen and it will bring in the greatest harvest of souls.” (http://didyoulearntolove.org/2018/02/21/bob-jones-prophecy-regarding-billy-graham/)
On a daily basis, individuals around the world are repenting and calling on Jesus for salvation, but rather than witnessing a revival of immense proportions, perilous times, evil waxing worse and worse, and a great falling away have been prophesied. False apostles, false prophets, false teachers, false signs and wonders will be the order of the day.
False apostles - 2 Cor. 1:13-15 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Rev. 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars.
False prophets - Matt. 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Vs. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Matt. 7:15-23 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
False teachers - 2 Tim. 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
False signs and wonders - Matt. 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
2 Thess. 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.
Rev. 13:13-14 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Rev. 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Taking all of the above scriptures along with a few others such as 2 Pet. 3:3, Jude 17-19, 1 Pet. 4:17, and Acts 20:29-30, we can surely see that the Bible shows the very opposite of what the false prophets of today are spouting. The Church in the last days will consist of many deceptions, false teachings, false Christians and false teachers. True believers will be on a narrow path (Matt. 7:14) and they will have only a little strength (Rev 3:8).
The ancient Israelites loved to listen to false prophecies and since people don’t read God’s Word and learn lessons from the past, it is apparent history is repeating itself. Jeremiah 5:31 says, “The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and My people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?” People get attached to their favorite preachers and will follow them off the cliff because they refuse to study to show themselves approved (2 Tim. 2:15) and they refuse to try the spirits (1 John 4:1).
Dear brethren, we see the foundation of the one world religion forming before our very eyes as we witness the leaders of mega-churches and various Christian organizations encouraging ecumenical endeavors with Catholics, Mormons, Muslims, and so forth. We hear of churches and organizations flagrantly participating in Contemplative activities and New Age practices and realize we are viewing a great apostasy. We see great numbers of nominal Christians chasing signs and wonders and we understand we are beginning to witness the final spiritual harlotry that will usher in the Antichrist. We recognize all this activity is part of a false, counterfeit revival; that we are being lied to by false prophets; and, that we want nothing to do with these activities or false teachers.
