Divination Vs. Prophecy

As Christians, we must use wisdom when we hear someone give us a "prophetic word." If it's a false prophecy (that is, divination), we must reject it. Divination comes from demons.

Divination is limited. Prophecy is unlimited. Divination is after financial gain. It is controlling. There are many examples from the Bible of how people used divination instead of prophecy - the girl in Acts 16, Simon the magician, Balaam. We must use discernment and the community of the other believers to discern prophecy. Prophecy reveals the heart of man and the glory of God.
