I was curious about him so I looked him up on Facebook, noticed that he is friends with my Pastor. Sent him a friend request which he accepted.

Watched this message by him, and thought it very interesting

The psychics and fraudsters and attorneys (and psychologists) use the answer to one question to lead into the next one. The client, mark, witness, or patient is always amazed at "how much insight the questioner has". Because it is the answers to the leading questions that give the practitioner the necessary clues for the next question. Basically social engineering.

So my question is, why does this guy seem to be using the latter methodology, rather than the former? Asking questions, I mean? "Is there a Fred on the line? I recall seeing a Fred? Okay, Fred, where are you at? What city? New York? Ok, okay... Uh... Ok.... Does the name "Joe" mean anything to you? Know anybody named Joe? Oh, you have a cousin named Joe? Okay, all right... What about... December? Ring any bells? I haven't any prior contact with Joe, folks... Oh, Joe was at a Christmas party and got indigestion? Okay, so... Okay... You know, Joe.... Has Joe been feeling down? Depressed? Worried? Oh, you say he's been upset about his finances? Okay, so... I'm thinking there's a weight issue? Maybe obesity.... Or some kind of health issue having to... What? He's diabetic? Okay, so I'm seeing some blood pressure problems... Yes? That's correct? " etc.

I'm genuinely asking why modern day prophets seem to operate so much like palm readers or George Popoff? Is it just me? Or does anyone else wonder these things as well?

I thought the same. Why the questions? That's a cold reading method

Chris Reed prophesied in one of his videos that Stacy Abrams and Kamala Harris were getting ready to come into prominence. I dont remember which video at the moment. If it happens I will look it up.

Sorry guys, he's a good friend of mine and I believe he's sincere and used of the Lord.

Did you read my notes on the method that I posted earlier? Where does the bible say you cannot ask questions?

Also, we KNOW IN PART and PROPHESY IN PART.

1 Corinthians 13:9.. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

1 Corinthians 13:12.. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Jesus did not do so in PART like we do.

But if these things ought not be done, that defies Jesus' words after having told the woman at the well how many husbands she had, and telling Nathanael where he was before Philip came to him, saying these things shall ye do and greater.

If he's your friend and you believe he's legit, no need to apologize. Stay true to what you believe.

But also consider that initial skepticism is the default position of the Scriptures. We are to prove all things and only hold fast to that which is good, we are to test the spirits to see whether or not they are of God, and etc.

The challenge here then, as far as I can tell is, and always has been, when it comes to the Word of Knowledge gift, the Holy Spirit isn't the only spirit that knows things, and knows how to communicate those things to a willing vessel. As such, the Word of Knowledge gift is the one most easily exploited by an unholy spirit.

This is not to say that your friend is enthralled to an unholy spirit--I mean nothing of the kind--rather, it's why believers are not going to easily receive the veracity of such gifting, automatically, even if someone of your stature vouches for the one so gifted.
