The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

>PLZ I REALLY NEED HELP I KNOW ITS LONG

A few years ago a so called prophet came to my church and he was going around prophesying on each of the people there. And so he would cold read a person and say something about them and perhaps give them a message from God.

So he came to my family he told my sisters were going on an adventure. While this was true because they were going to study abroad. Then the guy said to my dad that he is more of a friend than a father to me(maybe this was because his arm was around me) then he said that we were going to getting more money soon. While this kinda is true because my had finished nursing school and was getting a job soon.

Finally the dude comes to me and says that I don't follow my friends(which I really don't), to follow God in my own way, and that I would be a great athlete if I tried. Ok maybe he said this because I had a Nike shirt on. But really nothing gives any indication that I am an athlete considering I'm fat and short.

But here the thing is this. These events occured before the prophecy. The only sport I ever really played was basketball but I stopped in 5th grade. Ok fast forward to going to HS, I end up transferring to another school like after the first week because I was bitch and didn't feel comfortable. Ok I go to the new school and I'm still a shy bitch. But the only way I made friends was by playing basketball again and getting into the sport. And I really enjoyed the game more than I had ever enjoyed anything before. Well being a lost teen and a brainwashed religious person I started connecting dots in my life. I eventually came to the conclusion that basketball was something God wanted me to pursue. Keep in mind that I am a short dude. Well I started praying for a good 4-6 months asking God make a way for me in basketball and let me be an NBA player(lol) and to give me a sign for this. I guess this prophecy was the sign I asked for.

So back to the time I received the prophecy. I later asked a pastor I trusted what makes a prophecy true. He told me a prophecy would only confirm something that God has put on a person's heart. Well this basketball shit was on my heart and I might have just received a prophecy telling me what to do.

Fast forward a year and I being a skeptic and lazy, I haven't really been trying with this basketball shit, kinda writing it off as coincidence. The following summer the prophet guy comes back. Now being 16 I was getting ready for college I was constantly stressed about what school to go to and what to study. The prophet guys says to me God knows your worried about going to the right school and that my college would be paid in full. Well shit, I though maybe he is referring to an athletic scholarship or something. Flash forward to freshman year of college I am about to start school at and expensive private school on student loans. Well again I become shy bitch and I leave before the semester even starts and transfer to the local state school. Now at this state school it just so happens that my family has enough money to pay for my tuition and school expenses there. Its seems like that fulfilled one of the prophesies.

I don't know what to think about this. I never really been comfortable dedicating all my time to sports considering I'm short and I don't believe it will amount to anything. As of now I've moved on with my life and I don't really believe in any religion and considering myself agnostic due to issues with suffering and hell and the bible. But sometimes in the back of my head I think what would happen if I tried my hardest in basketball, and that maybe I am not on the path that God wants me on if he is real. These days I just think and maybe ask God for a sign like making me tall or something. Do you believe the prophecy could be real or was I lied too? Why would God let me be deluded? What should I do?

Honestly, that sounds like the "prophet" was doing cold reading and nothing more.

It was a fake prophet lad.

Don't you know that they must come to fool Christians?

I am a professional sign maker.

I will give you a sign.

You shouldn't play basketball.

You should focus on making the most with what's in front of you.

Really think about that.

He never said basketball. Maybe you could be a champion at curling?

Fortune cookie prophets are the worst.

Fast facts about OT prophecy:

The penalty for false prophecy was death

The general public never received special revelation, only key figures (judges, patriarchs, prophets)

Prophecy was always a message for large groups of people

God wouldn't delude you, you're a sap for believing this benny hinn weirdo
