The prophet's handbook
horrific powers with which mortal humans are not equipped to contend. Ungodly use of the supernatural and perversion of true spiritual power together demonstrate for us God’s need for official prophets. The enormous spiritual enablement the Creator instilled in them drives back the hellish onslaught brewing to take hold of the modern world like never before. To show these statements are not mere panic cries to defend religion and the church, ask yourself how much of what you encounter in your daily life smacks of demons, witchcraft, sorcery, and mysticism. The academic curriculum of public schools is flooded with them, while the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ is denied equal exposure. Media ad campaigns and programming force ancient religions and pagan rituals on you and your children. The after-school and Saturday-morning cartoons we all once trusted are now agents of this crude and cruel crusade of occultism. And let us not forget the Internet and the technology world. Go surf the Web and see how often the names and teachings of ancient paganism are flaunted. Then you will know how drastic the situation is. The devilish campaign has been so relentless that it overwhelms many people and numbs Christians. Unaccustomed to such exposure to sin, they become so spellbound that they are at a loss for what to do. Some wonder if anything need be done at all. Truthfully, many people sense something is drastically wrong with all this, but without pneuma (spiritual) education and training to enlighten their academics, they just cannot seem to figure out what is is. Again, here is where we need God’s true prophets to shed light on the devices of darkness and instruct His people on the markers of true and false spirituality.
