  TODAY'S PROPHETS

          We have the Bible....the God-breathed very Word of God.....but apparently we have many prophets today who expand upon the Word of God. Now, it takes two to tango so you have to have an individual...man or woman....who either claims to be a prophet or humbly denies this but takes advantage of many other people calling him or her a prophet; and you have to have people who accept that this man or woman is a genuine prophet of God.
          This condition can only come about when the people either forget or never fully understood to begin with that Scripture is neither to be added to or taken away from. There are a lot of natural sources of information that we use with which to navigate this life but all of that information confirms the Word of God and never adds to it.
           So we have a book out now, only the latest, where a man receives...prophesies.....directly from God. These prophesies concern Donald John Trump. The evidence given that they are from God is that this man wrote something down in 2011 where Donald Trump would be God's anointed to restore America to greatness. Donald Trump has since become our president so the prophesy obviously has to be true.
           The book...these prophesies rather....tell us not to worry about all this 'judgement on America' talk...for this is the work of the enemy. The author gives us the following from one of his prophesies...."The Spirit of God says: I will protect America and Israel, for this next president will be a man of his word......this man's word is his bond."
           When I started this book I thought that it would be based entirely on the 'prophesy" from 2011 but that was only the beginning.....for there are many more. The author comes right out and says..."America is not under judgment"....it doesn't get any clearer than that.
           We follow the Trump campaign in 2016 being given a great boost through prayer by those who were motivated by this book. We follow President Trump in the first few months of his administration and are told of God's direct message that...."(President Trump) is designing a dream team to lead our country's future."
           I can't tell you how many books like this that I've read over the years. So many Christians want this type of communication with God. They do this because, although they pour over the words of Scripture looking for messages, they wind up looking beyond those mere words on the pages as if they were not enough.
          If there is genuine prophesy involved in these many books it will be fulfilled prophesy...."and many false prophets will arise and lead many astray." (Matt 24:11)
