  • Beware of false prophets bearing news of good fortune

    Ready.

    In recent years, there has been a noticeable rise of self-proclaimed prophets on social media, who claim that they can audibly hear the voice of God. They claim that their mission is to serve as God’s mouthpiece to those who may need help finding a clear sense of direction in life, and they often come bearing news of good fortune. For example, news of health, wealth, prosperity, and this thing they call a “Kingdom Marriage.”

    Firstly, though there are some men who are social media prophets, it is mostly women who are doing this. They are appealing to lonely-hearted women in need of a husband, who no longer wish to continue “living in sin.” A Kingdom marriage is basically their way of saying that it is a God ordained marriage, and a kingdom spouse is supposed to be a God ordained person who was sent into your life. There was a recent story of a woman who prayed for a husband, and he ended up murdering her. The thing to remember here is that there are two kingdoms in the universe.

    I have no doubt that some of these prophets can see and hear in the spirit. I’m just not sure which one of the gods they are receiving their downloads from. It has been written in Matthew 7:15 to “beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly, they are ravening wolves.” But it doesn’t, or perhaps it shouldn’t matter to you, whether, or not they can hear from any deity. Why does one need a prophet to help them navigate life, when God already gave you a brain to think for yourself?

    The earth is a classroom for the soul. Whether by choice or by force, the soul came here to learn and evolve throughout a series of hardships on a path towards finding ultimate peace and lasting contentment. The teacher is always silent during the test, especially when you consider that he gave you a brain. Would it not then make perfect sense, that the side who wants to give you the ‘cheat code’ to life is not the benevolent side? And if the enemy does not want you to figure it out, then it would only make perfect sense that the “cheat codes” he sent his angels to give you under the guise of caring is actually full of sabotage.

    The bible warns readers to avoid horoscopes and fortune telling. It has even been said in Dante’s Inferno, that fortune tellers will spend the rest of eternity walking throughout the afterlife with their heads turned backwards. Most of the “prophecies” coming from these YouTube prophets have a large emphasis on material gain and kingdom spouses. Now that is not to say that there aren’t any real prophets in the world. But the way to tell them apart is to see if all they talk about is material wealth, and kingdom marriage.

    There are many forms of wealth in life, and material gain is just one of them. One of the greatest forms of wealth is actually wisdom. It is with the wealth of wisdom that one learns how to retain material wealth. Too bad wisdom is often overlooked. As far as I am concerned, a true prophecy imparts wisdom onto its receiver, who would then use the wealth of wisdom to improve every other area of his life, including love and money. But his heart and mind must be taken care of first, because after all, if the head isn’t right, the body cannot be right.

    Instead of waiting for instructions from strangers on the internet whose intentions are not readily known to you, my recommendation is to go ahead and do whatever it is that you were going to do in the first place. God can choose whether or not to honor your actions. If he honors you, great. If not, as we say in Jamaica, “wheel and come, again.” If you fall 10 million times, get back up 10 million and one times. Like the phoenix, you must keep rising from the ashes, gaining strength and wisdom after every attack.

    Because after all, true faith is not in waiting for instructions, or waiting for a genie in a lamp to work some magic, but in demonstrating your own potential by taking a leap of faith. That is how I ended up moving to California 8 years ago. I moved here with all the savings I had managed to accumulate from working my healthcare job in New York at the time. I purchased a one-way ticket to LAX without knowing anyone over here. I took a leap of faith, because I wanted to live here badly enough, and it worked. Not even a month later, I had my own apartment in LA, and as they say, the rest is history.

    Waiting is not inherently bad, it could literally save your life under the right circumstances. But you have to learn when to wait, and when to act. Waiting when it is time to act could cause delays. And who would rather see us enduring stagnation? The all-loving, benevolent God of creation, or the god of destruction? If you want something badly enough, it is always best to take the leap of faith than to rely on the prophecy of another mortal whose intentions are not immediately clear to you.

    You should also learn to find the balance, so as not to burn yourself out on a wild goose chase. If this seems scary to you, always remember that God gave you a brain of your own that you may think if you so choose. It is up to you to use your brain to sharpen your discernment.

    It would have been bad enough if there were only a handful of them. But when it is just this many of them, it should be pretty damn obvious at this point that false prophecy is their primary hustle. Sometimes it is their only source of income. Can you trust that they have YOUR best interest at heart if money is their main motivation?

    Finally, do not let archaic religious dogma cause you to create unnecessary sexual repression to the point where you find yourself falling for online kingdom marriage scams much too easily, because you would much rather marry a potential enemy, than burn with passion. I don’t think that the God of creation is offended by you having sex outside of marriage. He created you as a sexual being. If anything, he probably wants you to be more responsible with whom you share a bed. And whether you and your partner produce a new life together. But he does not want you to abstain from sex.

    Allow me to provide some context on what Charlie Sheen from Two and a half Men, meant when he said, “Who gave me the penis, Alan?” There are humans on earth who do not have any form of sexuality. That is because they were born without sex hormones, regardless of their gender identity. They are called asexuals. If God did not want you to have sex, he would have made you into an asexual, but he didn’t. He gave you your sexuality because he intended for you to use it, and enjoy it, guilt free.

    Sex is not just for married people, and marriage is certainly not meant for everyone. Some people truly cannot handle the concept of living for another living being besides themselves. If marriage is something that you truly want to do. Great! Go get married! But do so without the allure of this perfect kingdom marriage, and be prepared to put in the work and the sacrifice that is required to actually make it work.

    There are some people who just want to live by themselves, and still need to enjoy sex from time to time. They should feel free to do so without guilt. Do not let guilt be the reason why you rush into a so-called kingdom marriage with a potential enemy, and end up getting killed. I wish they would just stop with the damn rubbish already. Anyhow, I have restored your sexual freedom, now go forth and live out the rest of your days on your own terms.
