The Deceived, the Detoured and
the Diabolical!

THREE KINDS OF FALSE PROPHETS

We live in both exciting and dangerous times, knee deep in

the season of the false prophet. In order to both rule and
guard your spirit, you need to know something about both
him and her.

I was once a false prophet. However, before you start the

fire to burn me at the stake, first, "hear me out, please."

I came out of the occult where I was a New Age psychic

practitioner of divination, necromancy, astrology and such
in the early 70's. Once I became born again on March 29,
1977, the enemy didn't want to let me go. So he pursued
me into Christiandom and sneakily branded me with a few
deceptive teachings, doctrines and religious practices.

Nevertheless, my born again experience is both bona fide

and extremely powerful. When God cleaned me up, over a
period of about 10 years, he progressively and thoroughly
wiped out EVERYTHING except the day that I got born
again 33 years ago. You see, the enemy may have tried to

3
brand me, but the seal of the cross and the resurrection of
the Lord Jesus Christ is permanent and overshadowing.
Therefore, my salvation stands on the Rock and the enemy
no longer has any place in me. My victory is that as hard as
Satan tried to "win me back" to occultism, he failed. The
religious devil assigned to me will have to answer to Satan
for his failure.

So I know a thing or two about false prophets. Like I used

to be, there are those false prophets who are really saved
but they followed the wrong leaders, and "sucked into
themselves" mixed and false doctrines and practices. In
short, they heeded and harkened unto the voice of seducing
spirits and doctrines of the devil. However, they have not
yet departed from the faith. These I call, "the Deceived."
Some of them will be set free as I was. Because of pride,
sad to say, others won't be. Some false prophets would
prefer to be caught up in a scandal than to admit that they
taught error and thereby "led the people in the wrong
direction, away from God, and not toward Him." They are
too spiritually proud to admit that they did not rightly divide
the word of God.

Then there is the false prophet who was once used of God
mightily, but he or she got deceived by the enemy and fell
into disrepute. These I call "the Detoured." This man or
woman becomes a pretender---one who is very dangerous
to those who are babes in Christ or who remain carnal
Christians. Their followers "stand by their man" even when
they should jump ship. The bible has a classic example of
how the detoured "Old Prophet" deceived the man of God,
resulting in the latter's death. (I Kings 13)

Then of course, there is the out and out pretender who

knows that he or she is serving the spirit of the Anti-Christ
and everything they do is a masquerade. These I call "the
Diabolical."

Every false prophet type---the Deceived, the Detoured, and

the Diabolical--- is equally dangerous. Why? Because
they can leave a huge trail of victims.

As for me, while I was deceived," God blessed me

by closing doors and blocking me from spreading error.
Even though I once had the heart, the skill and the desire of
a mega preacher, God purposefully would not allow me to
become a popular celebrity.. When a door opened, the Holy
Ghost closed it and blocked my way through it. Moreover,
among those that I have pastored, even though I personally
believed some mixed doctrines, I didn't teach them to
those who allowed me to lead them.

So praise God, after 29 years as a minister of the

4
gospel of Jesus Christ,
I have no victims.

For example, I spoke in tongues, but I didn't teach my

followers to do so. I tithed, but I did not preach a "sow a
seed," prosperity gospel. In fact, I was completely self
sustaining. I gave back my church salary in the form of
tithes and offerings to the churches that I pastored. When I
practiced healing and the laying on of hands, I never told
anyone to stop taking their medicine and "walk by faith." I
primarily preached the cross, sin, repentance, rebirth and
the resurrection.

But make NO MISTAKE. The false prophets of all 3

varieties:--- the deceived, the detoured and the
diabolical--- are equally dangerousl Your prayers for
them to repent may NOT prevail. And why not?

In order to repent, the false prophet has to do more than

apologize and ask for forgiveness from those he has abused
and deceived. If he has been made rich off of the backs of
poor people by preaching the prosperity gospel, then God
will require him or her to "give back" all of that money to the
poor.

Not too many false prophets are willing to give up those jet
planes, million dollar homes and those Bentleys. Even the
false prophets who are NOT mega, many of them have
practiced the lie for so long, that it is practically impossible
to receive the truth and act on it. Far too many have made
"ministry" their career and not their calling.

Ask the Apostle Paul. He maintained as a tentmaker. He

would not allow any of the churches that he set up to totally
provide his livelihood. That is why he could write, "whether
abased or exalted, I can do ALL things through Christ who
strengthens me." In other words, churchfolk I am not
dependent upon YOU to live and to serve my God.

When a false prophet's livelihood is intricately tied to church

dollars and resources,he or she is captive to a self made
trap that cannot be escaped from without God's
help. Actually, some false prophets have to be stripped
naked to find God again, if they ever knew Him.

So if you really think a particular false prophet is deceived,

perhaps detoured but not diabolical, then your prayer should
be "Lord, strip him."

5
 DID "THUS SAITH THE LORD?"

Only the Holy Ghost knows how many in

Christiandom who claim to be prophets by declaring
, "thus saith the Lord," or "God told me," or "I was led
in the spirit"---are really the messengers of Satan
sent to control your life in God. Today, in the 21st
century, churches are filled with soothsayers and
charismatic hype masters whose message from the
pulpit is merely a gratification of the flesh. There is a
seductive spirit of divination sweeping across
churches of all persuasions, seeking to control the
lives of the un-suspecting. Laity leaders serve as
divination foot-soldiers, forearmed "with a word" to
maintain the power and authority of those in the
pulpits. Demons help out also as they whisper into
congregant's ears, "give a $1000 dollars."

Recently, a former client, completely delivered of

a serious mental health disorder in record time by
the power of God, was approached by a member of
his former church. Although his progress is sheerly
remarkable, the former church member approached
him with a "thus saith the Lord." "I had a vision of
you and I saw you have a python snake attached to
your spirit. . Are you okay? Since you left the
church, we've all had concerns about you. We've all
been praying for your return to the fold."

In mentoring, my former client casually mentioned

this but I could tell that he was shaken by it. I yelled
through the telephone

"NO! STOP. THAT WORD CAME FROM THE

HEART OF A DEMON ASSIGNED TO STEAL
YOUR RECOVERY FROM YOU! DO NOT
RECEIVE IT!!!!"

Certainly, professing Christians without knowledge

may seem to have good intentions. Yet, when you
find yourself in bondage to what they claim God has
said about you to them, what does it matter whether
they had either good or bad intentions??? The
results are the same. Your spirit has been
penetrated and the enemy has successfully planted
his desires into YOUR spirit to cause you confusion

6
and ultimate harm!!!!

Take it from someone who knows. I am well

insulated by God from face to face contact with
people who allow demons to use them as
messengers of Satan to control my life . I have even
learned how to block out my dreams. So when the
enemy cannot "reach me," he'll make a phone call
or send an email.

Now I know that's right! I have received "thus saith

the Lords" in emails and over the telephone on quite
a few occasions.

Now when I personally receive "a word" about

someone else, I have learned to "keep my mouth
shut." Control freaks can't do this. They are under
too much compulsion to blurt out knowledge
obtained by supernatural means to prove that "they
are anointed of God."

Here is how divination works. The enemy has

difficulty "putting a spell on you" unless he first
informs YOU about it. Then he will use your self
induced anxieties, doubts and fears to bring his
plans about in YOUR life. In other words, devils and
demons are skilled at making YOU your own worst
enemy.

You see, they can't "do what they do," without your
cooperation and consent.

In order to control our lives, the enemy has to "plant

his desires" into our spirits. Recently, someone sent
me a message. She had a vision that witches were
trying to bring harm on me because of my website
and that they were attempting to put a spell on me.
I didn't scold her. Wouldn't make any sense cause
the damage was already done. At that very
moment, I was involved in a situation with someone
who had "witchcraft in her background." So of
course, my eyebrow was raised but I didn't panic. I
was just extra careful and observant.

The thing to do is to "watch and pray." Keep your

mouth shut until the crisis, if there is one, has

7
passed. Don't let the enemy use YOU to plant fear
into someone that you care about. Pray and rest in
God. If God showed her that someone was praying
against me, then the Holy Ghost was calling her to
pray. Fallen angels are extremely skilled at using
friends, the people even of your own household, to
speak evil into your life. So wisdom is certainly
necessary. I learned the hard way to "be slow to
speak."

Therefore, when someone comes to you with a "thus

saith the Lord" and it does not compute with you,
you must become verbally aggressive. I do it
regularly. People may think that I am crazy but I am
quick to get animated and boldly declare, "no. I
rebuke that. I don't receive that." Sometimes I get
worst and like the Lord, I'll speak directly to that
demon and say "get thee behind me." I don't care
what people think. It is too important that I guard my
spirit.

YOU MUST DO THE SAME!

LET US COME TOGETHER

TO GET READY, BE READY AND
STAY READY!

MENTORS NEED TO BE RAISED UP AND

TRAINED!

IF IT WAS GOD who spoke to me 5 years ago,

showing me in a dream that the fall of ONE mega
preacher was going to precipate a fall of domino type
proportions on the rest of Christiandom, THEN I AM
NOT NEARLY READY!

If what I saw is an accurate prediction of the future,

then I suspect that the shaking of the 80's with the
Jim and Tammy Baker scandal, Jimmy Swaggert and

8
 others will be light stuff by comparison to what may be
coming. If my dream was from God, then I expect
that people are soon going to run out of the mega
churches by droves. Most will make a serious
mistake and run back to the denominations. Others
will be left as sheep without a pastor. Now is the time
to prepare for the remnant.

I am certainly not ready for such an influx. So in the

meantime, I am looking to train mentors to
each mentor a sheepfold of 10 souls. This is how the
Lord wanted it in the first place. He is concerned
about the one lost sheep and so I believe that the
mega ministries are simply too big to be His style in
the first place.

BOOK SOON TO BE RELEASED

To speak presumptuously in the name of the

Lord when HE HAS NOT SPOKEN, is equal to
the occult practice of divination. Here is an
excerpt from my next book, hopefully to be
released by the end of the year, entitled: "THE
NEW IDOLATRY: Charismatic Witchcraft,
Deliverance Ministry, Demonic Copulation and
Other Counterfeits.

The primary strategy of religious fallen angels is to

build a solid, seemingly impregnable bridge
between its target’s propensity toward
supernatural signs and wonders and a rather
intricate, intersecting freeway of clever
counterfeits of the divine presence and
operations of God. With subtle suggestions,
frequent, almost constant dreams and visions,
with outstanding predictions of the future,
particularly ministry, the goal is to cause the
target to renounce God and the Christian faith.

PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS OF A FORMER

DIVINER

This very strategy was used on me. With clever

9
 counterfeits of the Holy Ghost, religious
demons had me in a spiritual noose. Since I
believe that God has released strong delusion
in the 70’s, I simply got swept into the trap
along with other Christians, too numerous to
fathom a count. As Paul warned the
Thessalonians, strong delusion will cause even
God’s elect to believe a lie. Since I was a
psychic prior to my salvation, believing a lie
was made easy.

What is virtually impossible is to become “un-

deceived” once ensnared. Yet, I am living proof
that with God, “all things are possible” After
almost 3 decades, I successfully escaped, with
my faith in Jesus Christ stronger than ever. I
believe that I have been victorious because of
my love for the truth and the fact that I do not
judge success and failure by the standards of
the world.
