Their are many false prophets in the world and its hard to know which prophets are truly serving God. Some of them prove to be false by their actions. Some make it too obvious but yet they still have loyal members who don't seem to agree. It really makes me wonder if they are truly reading their bibles. Here are some scriptures concerning the subject. Matthew 7:15-16 says: beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves, ye shall know them by their fruits. Jeremiah 14:14 says: then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of naught, and the deceit of their heart. Jeremiah 23:32 says: Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them.

I came across a website a few weeks ago. The name of the site is Zoe ministries. The Founders name is Bishop Elijah Bernard Jordan. At first I didn't notice anything wrong with the site but then I started reading more into what was being said. The bishop calls himself "The master prophet" and has a prophetic school called Mar Elijah. He has his own live streaming where he gives teaching lessons and has an on-line chat-room. I didn't go into the room but I overheard the conversations they were having and the so called prophecies that were being told. It didn't sound to me like a prophetic speaking at all. It sounded more of a reading from a horoscope. In the bible when prophecies were given it wasn't towards one individual person but to a nation. The real prophets didn't line people up and say heres what God is saying to you. When the bishop tells his prophecies it reminds me more of a fortune tellers reading. He even advertises ,"Free prophecies are back, click here to get yours". Now doesn't that look like a fortune telling ad?

I visited the chat room of Zoe Ministries today. I offered to pledge a $352 gift and was rejected because the ministry was not set up to track pledges. I understand that, but the problem I had was that instead of hearing a word from God based on my willingness to give in my own way, I was denied a prophecy and directed to an 800 number. I was also accused of wanting something for nothing and because I couldn't pay the vow today, insulted about my financial situation. I then asked how much some of the prominent African American advertised on the infomercial had to pay for their prophecies as God gives freely. The result was that my IP address was deactivated and I was denied access when trying to respond. I don't know if the man is a false prophet or not, but I do know that i didn't receive any love. After all, that is what God is, right? LOVE!!! Whatever.

Anytime someone asks for your birthday in order to render a prophetic word, red flags should go flying. God never needs such information to speak to His people. It smacks of astrology which is strictly forbidden in the Old Testament. For a good read check out "A Step Into Deliverance" by T. Pugh. It's an engrossing autobiography about one man's battle with and ultimate defeat over the spirit of jezebel. A real page turner!acks of astrology which is strictly forbidden in the Old Testament.
