Ok Nana will probably take some hits on this and I will not call any names but I question a few of these ppl that claim to be "God's Prophets" when they start out saying "God said....and they continue on for 30 min to an hour with things God has 'TOLD" them QUOTING God's direct instructions in language that sounds like their own language, predicting things that most ppl that track everything happening could probably predict.

Does God talk to ppl?
Yes!
He has talked to me directly too, but not every day in a sermon that is 30 min to an hour long.
I really don't like to talk about what others are receiving from God so posting this is hard.

I believe God not only talks to us but he also "MOVES" us to say and do things, but some of these ppl getting a sermon daily saying, "God says...." in words that sound like a human made them up, I am suspect of.
I would say investigate their finances and history to discern.

This is such a hard topic. I agree with you 10000%. If the message is good, uplifting & has a positive impact there is benefit. I hate that they use God's name to "sell."
I also don't ever want to dissuade people from engaging in things that help them develope a relationship with God, b/c each of us will find that in our own way.
Comes down to discernment & remembering to pray to get personal revelation that what you heard is Gods intended message...
Same way I pray for Patriots. I genuinely don't know which players are good or bad in many cases. So I pray that those doing things pleasing to God will be successful in their efforts & those who are not serving Gods will may have their deeds exposed & stopped.
