Open Heaven 30 November 2025: Sources of Prophesy 2
MEMORISE: Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
READ: Matthew 7:15-21:
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Yesterday, I started teaching about the sources of prophecy and how a prophecy can come from the human spirit. Today, I will discuss some ways prophecies can come from the devil.
The prophecies that come from the devil are lies with some elements of truth in them to confuse and derail the recipients. The devil might even misinterpret a portion of the Scriptures to support his lies so that a believer will think that the prophecy is from God.
When a prophecy comes from the devil, it is only a matter of time before it produces the fruits of the devil. When satan gets to a place, he has three assignments: to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).
Any prophecy from him will eventually steal from those who believe it, kill their joy and dreams, and destroy their hope.
When the young girl in Acts 16:16-18 said some prophetic words, they had many elements of truth in them. However, Paul knew that her words were from the devil.
The devil wanted the people to keep their focus on the girl and not on Jesus. He wanted to distract men from knowing Jesus. The devil knows how to say things and manipulate them to come to pass.
Some people hear prophecies from the devil and just ignore them; however, that can be dangerous. There was a very wealthy man who quarrelled with his wife, and she told him that by the time she was ‘done’ with him, he would have to walk to get anywhere within Lagos.
When the woman said that, the man laughed because, at that time, he had fourteen cars.
Before long, however, he lost all his cars until he had just one left and only 50 kobo in his pocket. He then said to himself, “If I use this 50 kobo to fuel my car, what will l eat?
If I buy food with the money, then I will have to walk around Lagos like my wife prophesied.” That was when he came to Jesus Christ, and Jesus began to remedy his situation.
On the day he shared his testimony, he dedicated two new houses. I pray for you today that any negative prophecy that might be working against your life and destiny is nullified, in Jesus’ name.
Beloved, you must be careful about the people you give permission to speak into your life. If someone speaks something that is contrary to God’s will into your life, plead the blood of Jesus and cancel it immediately.
KEY POINT
If anyone speaks something negative into your life, plead the blood of Jesus and cancel it immediately.
