Scripturally, we never see a prophet of God speak falsely. Either he is of God or not. This whole notion that he is human and therefore subject to error in my opinion is ridiculous!
Men should not open their mouths unless divinely directed of the Holy Spirit. IMO, these men want to "make" God move.
The notion of humans commanding angels and healing is false. Name it and claim it is an erroneous gospel. The power the disciples had was given to them by Jesus himself.
I believe pride is the root of most of these ministries who claim direct access to God himself.
Are there gifts? Yes, of course. Do we have the power of the original Apostles? No. God gave them a specific anointing to establish the church.

I can agree with what you are saying. Instead of God commanding man, man tries to command God. However, I do believe there is some room for man to command God, because I remember a scripture that talks about, "Here's my hand. Command ye me", and it was God speaking to man. It's possible that I am remembering it out of context or not how it's intended. Maybe someone can find it and post it.
