5. Have you depended on false prophets who prophesy to you with vain hopes and visions of their minds without trusting God or have you encouraged others to do so?

“Thus says the Lord of Hosts; Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you; they are deluding you. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the lord.” (Jeremiah 23:16)

“I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in my name, saying, “I Have Dreamed, I Have Dreamed”. How long will the hearts of the prophets ever turn back those who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart? They plan to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell one another, just as their ancestors forgot my name for Baal Let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream, but let the one who has my word, speak my word faithfully. What has straw in common with wheat?” says the lord.” (Jeremiah 23:25-28)
