Test the Prophet's Prophesy!

34 “If any prophet, priest, or anyone else says, ‘I have a prophecy from the Lord,’ I will punish that person along with his entire family. 35 You should keep asking each other, ‘What is the Lord’s answer?’ or ‘What is the Lord saying?’ 36 But stop using this phrase, ‘prophecy from the Lord.’ For people are using it to give authority to their own ideas, turning upside down the words of our God, the living God, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

37 “This is what you should say to the prophets: ‘What is the Lord’s answer?’ or ‘What is the Lord saying?’ 38 But suppose they respond, ‘This is a prophecy from the Lord!’ Then you should say, ‘This is what the Lord says: Because you have used this phrase, “prophecy from the Lord,” even though I warned you not to use it, 39 I will forget you completely. I will expel you from my presence, along with this city that I gave to you and your ancestors. 40 And I will make you an object of ridicule, and your name will be infamous throughout the ages.’”Jer. 23:34-40

Whether they come to you or you go to them, any prophet that gives you a prophesy that instead of liberating you, puts you in bondage, it is false.  REJECT them!  How do I know? It's easy.  They create fear. They give you conditions that will always make you come back to them. They involve sacrifice. Above all, they contradict the word of God.  Any prophesy where any of these factors is present is false. 

Let's share the writer's experience.  One day he visited a supposed man of God who prophesied everything good about his intending wife. At the tail end of his prophesy, he said that his would-be partner had familiar spirit and that after the 3rd child, nothing can be done to prevent her from dying.  The writer, then responded. "That cannot be from God for that's not my Jesus promises me".  The 'Prophet' agreed and the matter was laid to rest. 
Worried, however, a friend who was there asked the Prophet what can be done to avert the impending catastrophe.  The 'man of God' made a list of many things that would be used to sacrifice.  The writer refused to perform the sacrifice. 

As they were returning from the journey and while the writer was driving, the Lord reminded him in a flash,  of the vision he gave to him through a dream sometimes in the past.  Honestly, speaking the picture and overall description of the place and prophet was 100% in agreement.  What is most important was that in that dream, at the tail end of the prophet's prophesy, the writer disagreed with him. And precisely how it was in the dream was how it happened in the physical on the day of its manifestation. Therefore, most often,if we are close to God, He speaks to us in advance!

Today, his wife has more than three children and she's living and strong in the Lord. That's it. SACRIFICE is a major requirement for them to easily catch their preys.  With the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross, any other form of animal sacrifice or food sacrifice etc is been erased.  Plead the blood of Jesus instead and go ahead and do what you want to do with the confidence that the Lord is on your side. The prophesied calamity won't happen unless you subscribe to it. Good morning.

====================================

 Be your own Prophet.  If you are close to God, God will reveal things to you in advance such that they will only be confirmed by God through others.
