Supernatural Theology 151: The Spiritual Pollution of Prophetic Gifts

Witch of Endor by Nikolai Ge, 1857.

THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.  –Revelation 19:10 (KJV)

The Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. –1 Timothy 4:1 (KJV)

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.   –Matthew 10:32-33 (KJV)

Every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.   –1 John 4:3 (KJV)

I believe that the New Apostolic Reformation, or charismatics involved in dream interpretation, prophetic ministry, healing, and deliverance, desperately need to be balanced out by the likes of:

1. ZONDERVAN ACADEMIC. Mainly influenced by Southern Baptist theology.

2. BANNER OF TRUTH. Leonard Ravenhill’s favorite publisher. Calvinist.

3. SCHMUL PUBLISHING. Wesleyan.

4. REFORMATION HERITAGE BOOKS. Calvinist.
