i have been watching ministries on tv and have been finding a lot of people proclaiming to be my personal prophet, yet when they quote a scripture from the bible it seem to be redirected for their personal use. i thank God i read for myself the scriptures and ask him for understanding, but it is as if wolves in lambs clothing they are tricking the people out there and if you dont know the lord for yourself you will be pulled into it. they are going out the way using celebrities, saying that we must ray to the god inside of us instead of a God we don't see. how ludicris is this. that is saying we are miniature gods right?

since way back in the Old Testament "Balaam" was a prophet who spoke God's word but then he started prohecying for money and went against God's word. Alot of the same has been going on since then. Already in the New testament the apostle Peter warned about false prophets who would come into the church and he was taking about in his own time. The biggest way that a false prophet gets people to accept him is to promise freedom from problems. See all of 2 Peter chapter 2. Many people who are going through problems especially serious ones, follow their weak emotions which they can get from stressing out, and accept false hope and promises because they want to get a way out of their sistuation. If any ministry is legitamate they at the very least should offer to pray for someone's problems-for free of course. A believer should first look to their own church or close Christian friends for help with their problems besides seeking God and His word personally. You need to be familiar with the Bible to not be lead astray.

They twist the truth and lies untill you dont know whats what. The only way out I found to be was to embrace the dark side and the light side and then make a choice as to what side I was really on. I dont fear fear anymore I still get afraid but I know it will only last so long and I can over come anything my God tests me with because my God wouldnt give me more then I can handle. V for Vendetta has helped me along with alot of other DVDs I have watched lately and the books I have read helped. Basicaly drawing from your past living in the present and thinking about the future gives me hope. And I think having hope is the most important part no one can take it away from you EVER. Thats just imo...

Thats what false profets are about feeding you a bunch of dreivel that sounds good but does nothing but line their pockets with money from the desperate.
Trust more in your own soul and have faith. In a manner of speaking thats right . but not in the way they are meaning it.
Your soul is a spark of the CREATOR OF ALL THINGS that threw off sparks of its self before the creation of the physical universe that became the souls of all that was and will be. so you are a child of the Creator male or female.And your soul can give you all the answers that you need if asked. only souls reflect the true power of God as they are facets of the total(small ones at that).

It is paintful to hear"i don't hear about God, about Jesus".
God whants ,that all mens from the earth know Him and after that these mens say yes or no to God. In that situation all words about The God are well come,the words are simple for can be understanding by mens who begin to be interesting about God,the belief will be grows by the applications of mens self. It is write in The Bible that will be in our times mens who will have dreams and profeties,one of them:www.jnsr.be/
God Bless you.God is One and is Love.

It is easier for people to believe a lie than the truth. So keep reading and pray for the discernment to know the truth when you hear it.

Yes, don't listen to false prophets and people who claim to be Jesus--rememebr He warned us about these people.
Cling to Truth and keep reading for yourself, praying for God to reveal Truth to you.

I agree with you.
Only accept a teaching from TV if it matches what the Bible teaches.
Cordially,
