25 - Bible Commentary | Karuna Sadan

“Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, ‘Hear the word of the Lord!’ ” Thus says the Lord God: “Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing! (Ezekiel 13:2-3)

Who prophesy out of their own heart:

The source of their false prophecy wasn’t necessarily directly demonic. There was simply a large element of their own heart in what they said. Their own desires, their own hopes, their own wisdom, their own needs for acceptance prompted their words.

Woe to the foolish prophets:

These self-claimed prophets were not only false they were also foolish. One reason they were foolish was because they regarded what came from their own heart and their own spirit to be more important than what God has said.

You have not gone up into the gaps or breeches, nor built up the wall for the house of Israel that it might stand in the battle in the day of the Lord. (Ezekiel 13:5)

A prophet is primarily an intercessor. Abraham was an intercessor. Moses, Daniel was an intercessor. These so called prophets did not stand in the gap nor build a wall of intercession for the house of Israel.

Your [deceptive] veils also will I tear and deliver My people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted and snared. Then you shall know (understand and realize) that I am the Lord. (Ezekiel 13:21)

When you are ministering deliverance to people, make sure that you ask the people to remove all charms tied to their bodies.

“Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and you have strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that he does not turn from his wicked way to save his life. Therefore you shall no longer envision futility nor practice divination; for I will deliver My people out of your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.” (Ezekiel 13:22-23)

The root of depression are the lies of the devil. Scripture clearly reveals the modus operandi (the method of operating) of the devil. “with lies you have made the righteous sad and disheartened, whom I have not made sad or disheartened” Lies in turn create fear.
