IS THIS THE HOLY SPIRIT OR FAMILIAR SPIRITS AND DIVINERS? : Testing the Spirits in Modern Prophecy and Discernment in the Church

What is your take about the Akurinos, yesterday at state house Prophecy that "Holy spirit has said president Ruto will have 10 years of reign"? There is a growing trend in the church nowadays of familiar spirits and diviners who frequently use phrases such as "LINE IS CLEAR." The Bible clearly instructs us to test every spirit, whether it is from God, human intention, or falsehood. The question that remains in my mind is: what is the motive behind such a “prophetic line”? When I compare this with biblical prophets like Moses, Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and others, I see men who delivered clear, structured, and divinely aligned messages that reflected God’s broader redemptive plan. Do you agree that what we are witnessing today could reflect familiar spirits or divination—using prophetic platforms for influence, visibility, and authority rather than divine truth? It also raises serious concerns about the righteousness, conduct, and spiritual integrity of those claiming to speak in the name of God. There is also a growing pattern where only designated leaders such as a bishop, reverend, or pastor are able to interpret tongues or spiritual utterances, while the rest of the congregation cannot understand or verify what is being said. Today I will share two scenarios of these spiritual diviners.

Let me explain what really happened. During my theology study, while conducting research, I happened to visit one of these types of churches. During the services, there was constant spiritual activity and what appeared to be “spiritual lines” speaking repeatedly. I wanted to understand how this system operates. In my research and intelligence-finding mission, I approached a bishop who explained that they often train two or three loyal and dependable individuals—especially young men and women—who are sometimes even supported financially to speak in tongues strategically. They use coded expressions such as “sign out,” “line clear,” “station 1, 2, 3,” or “open line, passcode 1 open.” Over time, these individuals master the coded communication. When the bishop wants to address a certain issue, they speak in tongues first as confirmation, and then declare that it is heaven speaking, that an angel has come, and that there is a seal from heaven confirming the message. Even financial giving is presented as “approved in heaven.” This reflects spiritual narcissism rather than true spirituality. True prophecy is meant to edify, comfort, and strengthen the Church—not to create systems of control, authority structures, or manipulation.

The second scenario occurred during my spiritual mapping as I prepared to start a church. I visited several churches in Nakuru. In one particular church, after prayers, worship, and individual prayer moments, there was a silent session where the prophetess would address the congregation. Women were lying on the floor crying and shouting, saying, “You have sinned and must repent, Kenya has sinned and must repent, and there is bloodshed coming.” Interestingly, I visited the same church again after three weeks, and the same prophetic message was repeated almost word for word, with identical tone and declarations. This raises an important question: why is the message unchanged and repetitive? Does it imply that God’s voice is limited or static compared to the days of Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, when God communicated diverse, progressive, and detailed revelations covering judgment, restoration, instruction, hope, and direction for His people? This brings a deeper concern about whether some modern prophetic expressions reflect the fullness of God’s voice or a repetitive pattern shaped more by human systems than divine revelation.

The principle of Scripture remains clear: every spiritual utterance must be tested, weighed, and aligned with the character and truth of God. Biblical prophecy was never intended to produce fear, repetition, or dependency on a single voice, but to bring clarity, direction, repentance, and transformation. When prophetic expression becomes predictable, emotionally driven, or centered on alarming declarations without depth, teaching, or instruction, it raises legitimate questions about its source and purpose. The danger is not spiritual expression itself, but when expression replaces discernment and emotion replaces truth. In such environments, believers may become spiritually active but lack understanding—engaged but not grounded.

This is why discernment is no longer optional in today’s Church—it is essential. Every believer must learn to test every message, weigh every prophecy, and measure every spiritual claim against the full counsel of Scripture. The Church must return to a place where prophecy is not used for influence, attention, or validation, but for edification, correction, and alignment with God’s will. True spiritual authority is not proven by emotional impact or public platforms, but by consistency with Scripture, humility in character, and fruit in transformation. Without this, the Church risks drifting into confusion—where voices are many, but truth becomes rare.

The present Church must return to tested truth, where every spirit is weighed by Scripture, not emotion or influence.

The present Church with current truth, understanding the present Church through the lens of God’s truth.

THE PRESENT CHURCH: It’s Time For Reformation

Image
Pst. Sam Kamau - KBN  Professional Motivational speaker The modern Church stands as a paradox—alive in form, but ailing in essence. She is externally vibrant, adorned with architectural splendor, booming with activities, and saturated with digital visibility. Yet, beneath the surface lies a grievous truth : the Church is spiritually disfigured. What was once the radiant Bride of Christ, marked by purity, power, truth, and sacrificial love, now struggles to reflect the character of her Bridegroom. She has traded garments of humility for cloaks of vanity . The altar, once a sacred place of repentance and transformation, is now a stage for personalities and performances. The pulpit, meant to thunder the oracles of God, often whispers the philosophies of men. We have mastered church growth strategies, but forgotten spiritual maturity . We have become successful by the standards of men, but bankrupt before the gaze of Heaven. Isaiah’s haunting words echo with prophetic relevance: “Hi...

Pst. Sam Kamau - KBN Professional Motivational Speaker AI: HEAVEN’S STRATEGIC TECHNOLOGY FOR THE END-TIME CHURCH : “ The Divine Intelligence Behind the Final Move of God — The Sacred Convergence of Spirit and System, Artificial Intelligence as a Divine Instrument for Global Revival and Reformation.” We are standing at the edge of one of the most prophetic intersections in church history —a moment where revival is not just spiritual, but systemic . While many in the Church are still looking for a move of God in the old ways, Heaven has already released the next wave— and it is coming with code, data, and divine design . Artificial Intelligence (AI), often misunderstood or demonized by religious circles, is not the Antichrist’s agenda — it is part of Heaven’s strategic intelligence infrastructure for the End-Time Church. Just as the printing press fueled the Reformation, and television carried the healing revivals, so now AI is emerging as a sacred tool for global evangelism, discipl...

JOHN WESLEY'S CODE OF REFORMATION: “A Clarion Call for Today’s Reformation — Awakening a Generation to the Power of Reformed Thinking”

Image
  Pst. Sam Kamau - KBN Professional Motivational Speaker INTRODUCTION: The Silent Crisis of Thought “You cannot reform a nation until you reform the minds that build it.” In every generation, there arises a moment when the soul of a nation is sick —not just because of political failure or economic collapse, but because of the decay of thinking . Ours is such a time. A time when the church is active in motion but passive in transformation. We have mastered gatherings but neglected governing thought. We are in revival without reformation. And that is the crisis of our age . Centuries ago, John Wesley faced a society remarkably similar to ours— morally bankrupt, religiously hollow, and intellectually stagnant. England in the early 1700s was in spiritual slumber: the church was ceremonial, disconnected from the people, and silent on injustice. Wesley, a brilliant Oxford scholar and ordained Anglican cleric , saw what many couldn’t: the problem wasn’t just sin—it was systems. The ...

  Pst. Sam Kamau - KBN Professional Motivational Speaker THE RISE OF SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE: “Nations Are Governed by Josephic and Danielic Spirit-Coded Systems — A Prophetic Clarion Call to Interpreters of Divine Intelligence.” When Systems Rise, Interpretation Must Awaken We are living in the most system-governed generation in human history. From government bureaucracies to global economic institutions, from smart cities to surveillance networks, from digital currency infrastructures to climate control mandates — the world is no longer random. It is coded. It is governed by intelligence frameworks — designed, monitored, and activated through invisible protocols of data, mathematics, and algorithmic decision-making. But what the natural eyes interpret as progress in science and data is, at its core, a prophetic mirror of Heaven’s ancient design: that everything in the universe operates by codes — divine codes. From the dreams of Pharaoh to the handwriting on Babylon’s wall, ...

THE RETURN OF THE NEPHILIM: Human Modification and Gratification in a Degenerate Age

Image
Pst.Sam Kamau - KBN Professional Motivational Speaker. In the beginning, when the "sons of God" looked upon the "daughters of men" and took them as wives, they bore children— mighty men of renown, the Nephilim (Genesis 6:1-5) . This was not just a historical event; it was a pivotal moment where divine order and human desires collided in unnatural ways. The corruption of the original design led to chaos, violence, and eventual judgment. But this pattern didn’t die with the flood. It has resurfaced today in more subtle and insidious forms. Humanity is still being altered—modified by ideologies, cultures, and systems that seek to pervert God’s original purpose. Nephilim Then, Nephilim Now – The Pattern of Hybridization In the days before the flood, a chilling event occurred that has echoed through the corridors of biblical history. Genesis 6:1–5 records a moment when the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful and took them as wives. The res...

THE UNFULFILLED PROPHECY: The Modern Church Ignores the Weight of Prophetic Mandates.

Image
Pst. Sam Kamau - KBN Professional Motivational Speaker “The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come!’” — Revelation 22:17 There was a time when prophecy was not a competition—it was a commission. It was not merely a Sunday show, but a sacred signal. It was the language of the Spirit breathing urgency into the Church, aligning hearts with heaven’s timeline, and summoning the saints to march forward in purity, purpose, and power. In those days, the Church trembled at the Word of the Lord. We measured success not by crowd size or social media influence but by obedience, repentance, and readiness. But today, something tragic has occurred in the prophetic landscape. Prophecy has become personalized, politicized, and professionalized. No longer is it a divine trumpet awakening nations; instead, it often sounds like a well-rehearsed monologue, tailored for applause and trending clips. We have prophets prophesying presidential victories, economic rises, or person...
