I deal with it by not being a Charismatic or whatever type of person is doing/believing this stuff. I don't mean this to call anyone out here, since I don't know any of you people, but any time anyone seems to be searching for prophecies to believe in or miracles to placate themselves with, it strikes me that this is a person who is very immature in their faith and probably living off the pseudo-spiritual 'high' they can feel by being a part of the knowing group which has the inside information about XYZ happening (gnosticism, anyone?). I don't think that sort of attitude or approach to religion is helpful to anyone anywhere. It is enough to struggle in prayer and fasting, and leave anyone who calls themselves a prophet to their prophesying, secure that you've got your path to follow, and everything meant to entice like some shyster's 'prophecy' is best avoided as a distraction from that path.
Actually spiritual gifts, including prophecy, are given to us by God to comfort us. Have a look at 1 Corinthians chapters 12-14.
Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Teachers, and Evangelists are intended for the work of the ministry. That is God's plan for us. These ministries and gifts are used by God
Ephesians 4:11-12
11. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12.
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
These are all gifts and ministry gifts are God's way of achieving maturity of the body. It is not immature to do and seek God's methods and plan.
Romans 12:5-8
5. So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
6. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
7. Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
8. Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
The gifts are also God's way of creating equity in the body, so all the self declared "smart people" do not take over and lord it over the rest.
1 Corinthians 12:24-25
24. For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
25. That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
Ephesians 4:11-16
11. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15. But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16. From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
So as for me, despite the problems we see, I will stick with God's plan. Give me a poor prophet over a prideful intellectual any day!
