Counterfeit Charisma

The Age of False Prophets

Beschreibung

A wave of curiosity in the prophetic ministry is sweeping up many in a deluge of deception. This counterfeit movement may be among the ominous signs of the last days. An obsession with "prophecy, signs, and wonders" can contribute to an unhealthy attraction to anything determined to be supernatural. In Matthew 16:4, Jesus declared, "A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign…." False prophets amaze people by calling out phone numbers, addresses and declaring meaningless prophecies. However, unknown to the masses, false prophets use divination, the same power fortune-tellers and psychics have used for centuries. This thought-provoking book examines actual cases of false prophets in action revealing their secrets and subterfuge. You will learn what a legitimate prophetic message is and the specific characteristics to detect false prophecies. You will also discover how people that have itching ears for "a prophetic word" and lust after wealth, create an environment for false prophets to thrive. This powerful book also investigates the legitimacy of the "schools of prophets," and how some of these schools teach mystical arts. Even if you attend a church where false prophets are not going forth, they still have a commanding presence on the internet and enter households through popular social media sites. The Bible warns, "My people are destroyed from the lack of knowledge!" Therefore, be informed and forewarned, because false prophecy could be creeping into your home or coming to a church near you!

Autor

Dennis James Woods has studied eschatology for over 50 years. His fascination with end times prophecy began in 1976 while serving inthe Navy aboard the U.S.S. England, after reading Hal Lindsey's The Late Great Planet Earth. In 1982, after being honorably discharged, he continued to pursue his eschatological interests studying the work of many dispensational authors and teachers. In 1994, while on staff at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission, Dr. Woods' first book Unlocking the Door: A Key to Biblical Prophecy was published, giving him national exposure. In 1995, he further sharpened his eschatological skills by taking a Revelation course taught by the renowned New Testament scholar Dr. D.A. Carson, at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Elmbrook Church, in Brookfield Wisconsin. The specific reason for taking Carson's course was to have his theories that challenged dispensationalism, evaluated by a renowned scholar. In 1996-97, he then corresponded with Dallas Theological Seminary giants Dr. John Walvoord and J. Dwight Pentecost with the expressed intent of challenging their work in support of the pretribulation rapture theory. Dr. Woods' book Revelation Revolution: The Antichrist, Angels, and the Abyss, highlights aspects of these exchanges with Walvoord and Pentecost. Dr. Woods has written eight books and has advised, contributed, and edited over fifty books. Dr. Woods was ordained in 1990, and in 2004, received his Doctor of Biblical Studies from Midwest Theological Institute of Indiana. For the last 24 years he has taught the PHD radio bible class on WBGX radio Chicago, and since 2018, has hosted the Revelation Revolution Podcast reaching national and international audiences. Woods has appeared in national magazines such as Ebony, Gospel Today, Today's Christian, and a number of local newspapers throughout the country and television networks such as TBN and the Word Network. For the past 27 years, Dr. Woods has been happily married to his lovely wife Chantia Woods who faithfully serves God and has supported her husband throughout all their ministry and business endeavors. Through their marriage, God has used them to spread faith, hope, and love to countless individuals, through preaching and teaching the Gospel, all for the glory of God.
