Prophetic Insight
a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.” (Rev 2:20-23). Jezebel was a false prophet (actually prophetess same thing instead of a male it is a female prophet). She was teaching and seducing the children of God to commit fornication. The word “fornication” means “to act the harlot, this iliterally means to indulge in unlawful lust of either sex, or figuratively to practice idolatry. You would think that if someone was teaching contrary to the Word of God, it would not be received by the church. When I was in Minneapolis, Minnesota I came across a church that was seduced by a socalled prophet. After exposing him as being a false prophet, it was discovered that just about every woman in the church had committed sexual sin with this man. I began to question them, and ask them if they knew what the Word of God says about this kind of behavior. Their answer stills amazes me to this day. He had told them that he was a prophet and God lets him do whatever he wants. I couldn’t believe an entire church was seduced by this lie! If that wasn’t enough the church was paying his childsupport, and other various bills. It is true sometimes good men fall into sexual sins, such as King David. But he was not trying to seduce everyone

into his lifestyle of sin. He cried out before God and changed his ungodly behavior. The greatest occupational hazard to those in the ministry is to be tempted with sexual sins. A great majority never fall into this trap, but to those who do God’s forgiveness and love is available to them. Be very careful of those who try to seduce you into thinking and accepting this kind of behavior as normal. Who calls sin righteousness, and righteousness sin. This is pretty much like sexual sins, just in a different arena. I once had to deal with the situation where the so-called prophet was convincing certain people it was all right to commit murder on his behalf. I’m thankful to God I was able to talk common sense into this group of people before they actually carried out this ungodly plot. Perverts people from the Word of God and leads people into mysticism, witchcraft, new age, and other false teachings. More and more this is happening in Christian circles than people realize. Mysticism is the doctrines or beliefs of mystics; specifically the doctrine that it is possible to achieve communion with God through contemplation. Be very careful of any services that you go to where someone is very mystical in their behavior. I nicknamed these “spooky church”, and they are usually filled with new age teachings.
