DRUNK IN THE SPIRIT?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_14n66_0bYI Here is a short video that I hope everyone will find informative. In this video, we see two major players in the Charismatic “Word of Faith” world. Kenneth Hagin and Kenneth Copeland. Copeland can be seen participating at one point, but Hagin was “teaching” in this particular service where he and the congregation were exhibiting the phenomenon known as being “drunk in the spirit” (I am purposely using a small “s”, since it is NOT of the Holy Spirit), which includes laughing hysterically (much of it fake), slithering out of their chairs and falling to the floor, wildly shaking and generally not being in control of their faculties. Never mind the fact that one of the fruits of the Spirit is self control ( Galatians 5:22-23 ). And never mind the fact that God expects a church service to be orderly ( 1 Corinthians 14:33, 39 ).

But the tide quickly turns when the visiting pastor calls her out on her false prophecy and her over-emphasis on “miracles,” rather than the gospel of Jesus Christ. The lady was exposed as a false prophetess. This then causes no small disturbance in the service.
What happened to false prophets in the Old Testament? They were put to death (Deuteronomy 13:5; 18:20-22)! That’s how careful one has to be when claiming to directly speak for God. Today, we may not kill or stone “prophets” who have been found to be false, but God is certainly still against them. They are still an abomination.
Much (if not most) of what passes for “prophecy” today is simply hype and emotionalism. The person is most likely speaking from his own spirit (Jeremiah 23:16-17).
Church, beware!
