2. The Prophecies of Satan Upon Believers
(The common characteristics of those who claim to “converse with God”)
These are divided into vain prophecies that appear among those who speak in tongues and prophecies that appear among those who do not. The common feature of both the prophecies from those who speak in tongues and from those who do not is that they are prophecies of those who seek after the things of the world and the flesh, prophecies and tongues that pursue worldly and fleshly ideals, values, and desires. Therefore, they are not the true prophecies of God, which are obtained in almsgiving and service, in feeding and caring for others, and in the prayers and tears of love and sacrifice for one another. Instead, they are the product of their own self-centered hopes and worldly desires, rationalized by their own will—nothing but their own self-anointing. With falsehood and compulsion, they make it seem as though it were God’s talent or Christ’s mission, using it as a lever and signpost to inflate their own pride. Their so-called “talent” is their own pride, and their so-called “mission” is their own self-exaltation (their will and confidence). Such talents and missions belong to double-minded people whose words and actions have no true example or integrity.
Through prophecy, rather than receiving the food of conscience, which is to know and understand the mysteries of heaven, the wisdom of God, and His grace, these people take their own desires and will, and their self-driven zeal and confidence, making their pride into their faith. They are led by demons who act as though they were God, and their prophecies and the characteristics of these so-called prophets are as follows:
1. They are those who regard vain teachings of the world, the values of human life, and fortune-telling of curses, death, and blessings—like that of shamans—as if these were revelations of Christ. Their prayers in tongues are nothing but sorcery and divination in which Satan and demons are at work.
2. They are those who put forward only words and theories, without any living example of practicing according to the highest law, God’s holy will, and His Word in mutual care, love, and service.
3. They avoid the Word that commands us to keep, do, and practice, and instead they use only a portion of Scripture to rationalize their own words, theories, and assertions.
4. They are those who, as though they alone had received a special talent and a special mission, are already clothed with pride and their own assertions.
5. They are not those who, by the Word as a mirror, see their shameful selves and seek to correct themselves. Rather, they only believe in their own claims, measuring themselves by themselves, while ignoring and disbelieving any part of the Word that opposes their own claims. Thus, their value and faith are centered only on themselves and their own assertions, relying merely on their own thoughts, arguments, judgments, standards, wisdom, knowledge, and hearts shaped by the world. They treat the Word only as a tool and pretext to justify themselves.
6. Since they put forward only their words and theories, they become bolder and more indifferent toward sin, rationalizing and excusing it. They use false doctrines of salvation, forced manifestations of the Spirit, and vain gifts to justify themselves, spreading ever more lies in their teachings, learnings, claims, and beliefs.
7. Those who possess satanic tongues and demonic tongues, or those who claim to converse with God, all share the same characteristics: they put forward only appearances and outward pretenses. They exalt grand causes such as nation or people, yet are too stingy to spare even a small amount of money for a beggar.
1. Their prayers are hypocritical, outward shells built on pretense and lofty claims, but they are abominable prophecies, aiming only to rationalize their flattery and their exalted, empty causes that have nothing to do with salvation.
As proof, all their prayers are not gentle, peaceful, and filled with the beauty of Christ’s love and unity, rising from the deep sincerity of the heart. Instead, they are nothing more than the frenzy of shamans possessed by spirits—accompanied by excessive bodily movements, thick and harsh voices, husky and disturbing tones, tongues that sound unsettling and filthy, and very disorderly and irreverent prayers that come across as noisy and grotesque.
2. They are those who put forward only words and theories, without any living example of practicing mutual care, love, and service according to the highest law, God’s holy will, and His Word.
Because they lack the example and inspiration of giving, serving, and caring, and the love of cherishing and serving one another, they cannot know the depth of the Word that rises from the depth of love. Instead, they rationalize their own words and theories, believing in their own arrogance and obstinacy that betray, oppose, and make themselves enemies of the Word, which is the very source of practice and obedience.
Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin. I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.(Hosea 8 : 11~12)
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.(James 2 : 10~11)
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.(John 8 : 34)
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.(Romans 1 : 28~32)
3. They are partial feeders who avoid the Word that commands them to keep, to do, and to practice, using only fragments of Scripture to rationalize their own words, theories, and assertions.
Without practicing the love of the cross—to feed, to give, and to care—which God and Christ have required of them, they consider themselves as though they had received forgiveness for their sins. Thus, they feel no sense of guilt or hesitation about sin. Instead, they become bolder and more careless regarding their sins, and as a result their prayers, desires, and ideals only increase in pride, stubbornness, temper, obsession, and greed, heaping up more sin and lust. Because their conscience has become desolate and decayed, their sense of lack and emptiness grows greater over time, until they inevitably reach an irreversible extremity of conscience.
4. They are those who, as though they alone had received a special talent and a special mission, are already clothed with pride and their own assertions.
Out of the pride that makes them think of themselves as special persons, they come to despise or mistreat even parents, husbands, brothers, and children, being led to imagine themselves as though they were special messengers, yet becoming slaves to those who make them captives of their churches and altars. In doing so, they even believe in temper, obsession, stubbornness, and lies that have abandoned conscience, so that they walk an extreme path of dangerous faith that forsakes family, life, conscience, and all values of living. Lacking love, they cannot show consideration to others; and when their own opinions or views are opposed, they rashly pour out curses and insults. In doing so, their own curses and insults testify that they are double-minded persons, detestable in the sight of God.
Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.(James 3 : 9~18)
Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.(Hosea 10 : 2)
And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.(Ezekiel 33 : 31)
Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.(Psalms 28 : 3)
Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.(Jeremiah 9 : 8)
5. They are not those who look into the Word as a mirror to see their shameful state and correct themselves, but instead believe only in their own assertions, measuring themselves by themselves. They neither believe nor even look at the parts of the Word that oppose themselves and their claims, but take only themselves and their assertions as the standard and center of their faith and values. They trust only in their own thoughts, arguments, judgments, standards, wisdom, knowledge, and hearts, all trained by the world. For them, the Word is nothing more than a tool and a pretext for excuses.
The Characteristics of Those Who Claim to Commune with God and Christ
(The Form of Faith of Those Who Speak in Satanic Tongues and Demonic Tongues)
1. They use the Word only as a tool or comfort to support their own claims, but in reality, they are those who trust in their own (human) wisdom.
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!(Isaiah 5 : 21)
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.(Proverbs 3 : 7)
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.(Proverbs 3 : 5)
Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.(Romans 12 : 16)
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.(1 Corinthians 3 : 18~20)
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.(Romans 1 : 21~23)
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.(2 Peter 3 : 16~17)
2. They do not measure nor act according to the meaning of the Word, but believe according to the inclinations of their own (human) hearts.
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.(Proverbs 28 : 26)
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.(1 Corinthians 2 : 9)
3. They are those who believe in their own assertions, and because they regard themselves as right, their faith is conformed to their own claims.
Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.(Romans 14 : 22~23)
They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.(Psalms 17 : 10)
4. They are those who believe the thoughts of the flesh according to their own (human) evil, carnal nature.
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.(Romans 8 : 5~7)
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.(1 Corinthians 3 : 18~20)
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.(Romans 12 : 2~3)
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.(Jeremiah 6 : 16~19)
5. They are those who believe in themselves (Do not be proud).
Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.(Romans 11 : 18~22)
For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.(Psalms 36 : 2~4)
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.(2 Corinthians 10 : 12)
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.(2 Thessalonians 2 : 3~12)
6. Because they put forward only their words and theories, they become bolder and more careless concerning sin, rationalizing and excusing it. Thus their teachings, learnings, assertions, and beliefs only multiply false doctrines of salvation, forced spirits, and vain gifts, all to justify themselves with lies.
7. A common characteristic of those who possess satanic tongues and demonic tongues, or who claim to converse with God, is that they put forward only outward appearances and pretenses. They exalt grand causes such as nation and people, yet are so stingy they cannot spare even a small bill for a beggar. Their hypocritical prayers are centered on lofty causes and empty pretenses, which are nothing but abominable prophecies, appearing among those who seek to rationalize flattery and exalted slogans of patriotism and nationhood that have nothing to do with salvation.
All of this is the result of the fact that, from the beginning, the thought, worship, traditions, commandments, and doctrines of Christianity were formed as a means of stealing tithes and offerings that should have fed the flock, in order to fill their worldly power and selfish desires. For this reason, even now it has been handed down, developed, and taught by those who put forward only words and theories. It has also come about through the teachings and learnings of those corrupted ones who try to serve God together with the world and material gain, chasing worldly desires, satisfactions, and ambitions. Thus their faith is worse than that of the unlearned, and their religion is a grievous sin, worse than that of the ignorant unbelievers.
One of the methods most used by Satan is to exalt the pretense that excuses the absence of practice and action, in order to avoid the effort and suffering of following the love and sacrifice of Christ. This very thing is what they call their “talent” and “mission.” Yet every talent and mission that is not united with the love of the cross, which is worthy to lead to salvation and reflects the nature of God, is simply the work of Satan and demons, falsehood, and the schemes of those who, posing as shepherds, entice people to serve church and altar. They are the cunning offspring of vipers, sold for wealth, who make others serve themselves, their church, and their altar to the death, stripping away all possessions and wealth to feed their own greed and enlarge their own power, using people as tools and slaves. The god of those led by the spirit of greed is Satan, born of their own pride and stubbornness, and the demons summoned by vain prayers that call for greed.
God is the source of love, and Christ came to bear witness to God as the love of the cross. Therefore, all words, theories, thoughts, teachings, assertions, judgments, faiths, hopes, desires, ideals, values, repentances, rebirths, gifts, prayers, lessons, and inspirations that are not united with the love of the cross are just nothing but adversaries and enemies, and they are dead.
