Exposing the Tactics of Modern False Prophets
In an age where technology offers immense reach and influence, unscrupulous individuals have adapted traditional methods of deception to new platforms. Historically, so-called prophets would rely on superficial observations and general knowledge of individuals to make seemingly prophetic statements. Today, these practices have evolved with the help of the internet.
Before the rise of digital platforms, false prophets often turned to prayer request cards and phone hotlines to gather personal information. The internet, however, has provided a treasure trove of data for these deceptive practices.
Mike Winger, a Bible teacher on YouTube, has shed light on the methods employed by individuals like Shawn Bolz in his recent exposé. Bolz is accused of crafting false prophecies through data gathering, targeting affluent individuals for financial gain, and manipulating church communities with fabricated narratives.
The shocking reality is that many churchgoers have come to accept these false teachings as normal, with preachers often giving “words of knowledge” that are not divinely inspired.
“I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied” (Jeremiah 23:21).
Upcoming sections will delve into four specific examples of individuals who have exploited data collection to mislead their followers.
