LORD JESUS CHRIST, SON OF GOD HAVE MERCY ON ME, SINNER.
LORD JESUS CHRIST, SON OF GOD HAVE MERCY ON ME, SINNER.
I attempt to read the Bible daily. I have failed many days, weeks, months, but then I came back to reading the Holy Book. I am an ordinary Christian with not much knowledge in Christianity except what I have learned from my church over many years of my life. I can summarize my faith in a few words: Christ is my Lord and Savior. Christ suffered on the cross, died, and rose again from the dead. He will come again to judge all of us of what we've done, good or bad. Christ is my Lord, I shall not want. I hope He is yours too.
How do you differentiate between a sorcerer and a prophet? As a starter, sorcerer speak on their own behalf, even when they claim they are speaking by an order of God. Sorcerers' predictions are seldom fulfilled, except for those that meet statistical occurrences (in statistics, an event that has a probability to occur 5% or less is said to be a miracle). Sorcerers will charge you money (even on social media) for their predictions, and these are often vague and general in nature. Sorcerers use common daily knowledge to make vague predictions about future events like earthquakes, fires, snow, and tornadoes. Prophets speak about specific events that will happen in the future on behalf of the good Lord. And, their predictions are always fulfilled, unlike those of the sorcerers that they are only fulfilled within the statistical limits (5% or less). The new day prophets must declare their messages on behalf of the risen Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, otherwise they are sorcerers. Always test the spirit because satanic messages may try to sneak in to deliver you a message contrary to what the Bible teaches. Be on your guards and never disseminate any message unless you are sure it is from God (remember Job and how the devil tried to destroy him). The Catholic Church also recognizes 'seers' who receive messages from God for a specific topic to deliver to people. Always test their messages, according to the principles found in the Bible. We need to discern between a charlatan and a true 'seer.' Unfortunately, with the spread of social media, some individuals try to proclaim future events without proper spiritual authority. They are doing the work of Satan.
