“Individuals under its influence [false prophecy] often appear highly spiritual. They give the impression of hours in prayer and constant progressive revelation...While in their presence you may feel like your spiritual life pales in comparison as they relay the many things God has told or shown them through prayer, visions, or dreams. You find yourself feeling almost unspiritual and backslidden in comparison. If there is any insecurity in your relationship with God you will find yourself cowering spiritually before them.”— Thus Saith the Lord?, pages 130-131

Appearance versus reality—our society favors the former and we are seduced by it. My comment? When you feel inferior to some spiritual guru, duck and run!
