I believe in
miracles but not fake miracle workers that have been on news lately. The Bible is clear in James chapter 5 that it
is the prayer of faith which heals the sick, not the fake pretense of a false
prophet asking for payment to “perform miracles of healing to those seeking
them! However we have some pure legitimate men and women of God working in the vineyard
of His and He is using them to reveal him by healing through miracles.I would categorize any fake miracle worker who comes along to be the antichrist. The False Prophet and the antichrist will be empowered by Satan to work fake miracles and deceive a lost world, and or the very vulnerable in matters of faith. Unfortunately most of these groups of persons are struggling financially and more likely than not socially. That being said therefore, the fake “miracle working prophet” takes advantage of the vulnerability of the sick by having them pay for the “miracle” much less amount of money than they would pay for in a clinical setting. But the word of God is clear on healing Isaiah 53:4-5
The truth is fake healers are like parasites preying on the weak and sick. When the human spirit and body have been devastated by an illness it leaves a person vulnerable. Many people go to faith healers because all other means of a cure have failed. They look at a miracle as their last chance to get their health back. Fake healers understand this human weakness and they use it to get what they want, money and favors of all sorts.
The faith healing business is nothing more than a money embezzlement scam, one of many pitfalls surrounding the church today. It is high time Christians start rebuking the real sickness afflicting the church as fake healers, false prophets. Christians should watch out that they will not continue to be deceived. Luke 21:8
Put faith healers to the test and they will fail every time. There is a big difference between saying and doing. Fake faith healers point to testimonials to support their claims, but testimonials are a dime a dozen. A good example is what happened in Kenya recently where the self-styled “Prophet,” Kanyari stole thousands of local currency from his “miracle receivers” in pretense that he will provided healing, or their business will be expended, marriages restored after planting a seed in his wallet. Don’t get me wrong seed planting is biblical. Psalm 126:6
A true faith healer could march into a
hospital, where you find people in need of miracles, and empty the beds. A true
faith healer will wait for miracle receivers at the church alter and join them
as they receive their potion. A true
faith healer will not couch his miracle receivers on what to say in their testimonies.
A true faith healer would not ask for any amount of money in order to perform
miracles on them. If they do, they are liars and evil prophets. Real miracles can't be faked, and we have so
many of them happening every day from men and women God is using for His glory.
Fake modern day faith healers do not have any
supernatural power. They are like magicians putting on a performance before a
television screen to lure many to believe that they are performing miracles. Magic is not real, it is based on illusions.
The same is fake true of faith healers today.
They act out well-practiced and staged magic tricks for a fee or what
they like to call "love gifts or seed planting."
Jesus never
instructed His disciples to take up "love gifts” in exchange to the many
miracles he provided to those in need. Matthew 10:9-10
Scripture commands
us to test all things to see if they are of God- 1 Thessalonians 5:21. Test fake
faith healers, their false claims of miraculous healing, and their false
teachings and there is no doubt that they are fake healers. Matthew 7:22-23
