The Difference between Prophets and Fortune Tellers
Everywhere you look on the internet there are endless pools of websites that offer free psychic readings, free numerology readings, free personal prophecies, and astrology readings. Anyone can say that they are practicing Christian prophecy, but that doesn’t necessarily make their statements true. So what exactly is the difference between prophets that can foretell the future based on the word of God and a psychic or fortune teller that falsely claims to be a prophet that provides Christian prophecy readings?
The Motivation of a True Christian Prophet vs. a Fortune Teller
The number one indicator of the difference between the two is what their main motivation is in giving personal prophecy readings. If they have a desire for money, fame, or power, then you will know that they are not prophets of God. If a reader is a true prophet of God, then they will be motivated by bringing happiness, honor, and glory to Jesus Christ our lord. If they come on too strongly by selling you a cheap line about offering prophecy readings for low prices, then their motivation is most probably not in the right place to be a true Christian prophet. They are more than likely a fortune teller if they hope to gain off of your prophecy reading. Prophecy is all about the divine power of spreading god’s word.
Understanding the Content of a Reading
A true prophecy from God does not always predict your future or read your past. Instead of telling you what will happen in your life such as the number of men you will marry, number of children you will have, or what your future career may be, it will instead guide you to know what your true purpose in life is. A fortune teller will be quick to predict things. This is one way to know that they may not be as legitimate as what they claim to be. While it is possible for a Christian prophecy to predict your future, that is not the main focus. Always ensure that you are not being scammed by a fortune teller when you need a prophecy to feel fulfilled in your everyday life. There are plenty of online legitimate ministries that offer free bible prophecy online.
