a prophet?

[cannot find name]

To be honest, I haven't been to church. I have a church to go to, but I'm reluctant...

I do have Christian family that have warned me about the guy, and they have tried to reach my mom, as well. My mom is angry because her family is against it and she says that is because they haven't met him...Well, judging by what people have said based on his prophecies alone - nothing really needs to be said about his personal life, and that's why my family doesn't think this guy is a good idea (even without having met him).

I am a Christian, but a lot of things I have said to my mom were not Christian and may be why she is not seeing it from my or her family's perspective.

Speaking as one who operates in the Prophetic (I'm not a prophet), I'd say this person is either very young in their learning the operation of the gift or they don't have it at all and are trying to manipulate others with it. Personally, I'd lean more towards the latter.

I would say. . .don't listen to these words. Some are extremely vague and others are against scripture, such as the one about your dad and angels bickering. I would stay away from this person and just work on your relationship with the Lord and let Him speak to you directly. A true prophet should never tell you something that the Lord is not already spoken to you about. . . that is my training and experience anyway.

Be blessed.

By the way - what scripture goes against the prophecy about my dad? (I can see how scripture contradicts seeing a vision of angels bickering.)

Try not to concentrate on refuting this guy's claims. That will only put you & your mom into opposition with each other. This is sort of like the difference between boxing and judo. If you are using force, your opponent will use force against you. But if you stop resisting and try to redirect them very slightly, you can get the result you want with a lot less injury to both of you.

You might, for example, tell her you'd like to have more of an open mind, so let's go meet his family. Let's get to know the other people in his life. When things don't seem to make sense, try asking non-accusing questions that will direct her to find out more for herself.

Another strategy that might work at some point is to say, "OK, if that's what he's like, then of course he will _________" Then be really surprised when it turns out that he does the opposite. IOW, let her figure out his motivations for herself. Don't connect all the dots for someone if you really want them to change their mind.

These may not be things you can do by yourself. Maybe one of her sisters or women friends can try using these kinds of strategies.

I'm glad to hear you're protecting yourself and your little brother. Don't take all the responsibility for what your mom does, but don't just write her off, either. And forget about the so-called prophecies. Their purpose is to take Christian people's attention off what is really going on. Don't let yourself get distracted by them.

"God put me in place of your dad because he was not obeying Him." (Speaking to me)

This was the referance I was referring to. I'm sorry I can't think of a particular scripture at the moment but God does not take away a father's authority over his own children and give it to another man who is commiting adultery with that man's wife.
