Dear reader, if your aim of saying “Thus says the Lord...” is to get people’s attention, or to get money from people, then be prepared for many curses upon your life. In this article I give you 6 curses for uttering a false prophecy.
You have set your own trap.
If you know that God has not spoken to you, and you go ahead to tell people that “Thus says the Lord…“, then you have set your own trap. If that prophecy does not come to pass, you will fall into that trap that will lead to many curses. Falling into your own trap may lead you to Hell.
You are offending God.
Father in Heaven will be greatly offended if you speak words He never told you to announce. God’s wrath can bring many curses that may send you into Hell.
You are offending the receiver of the prophecy.
The person you have given the false prophecy will be offended if that prophecy does not come to pass. This anger may lead to many curses upon your life. These curses may lead you to Hell.
You offend a lot of other people.
Friends of the person you have given a false prophecy will later become angry, if your prophecy does not come to pass. This anger will turn into curses that may send you to Hell.
You become a False Prophet.
When you speak a prophecy which is not from God, then you risk being called a False Prophet.
What God’s written word says.
This is what the Bible says about a preacher who gives false prophecies:
But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name which I have not commanded him to speak,
or which he speaks in the name of other gods—that prophet shall die.’
21 If you say in your heart, ‘How will we know and recognize the word which the Lord has not spoken?’
22 When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord and the thing does not happen or come true,
that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken.
The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.
