A Prophet Told Him to Eat Scripture | Here's Why That's Dangerous

A self-proclaimed prophet named Kevin Leal instructed a young man to eat a page of the Bible and claimed that the power of God would enter him. Yes, you read that correctly. Not read the Bible. Not study the Bible. Not believe the gospel. Not repent and trust in Christ. Eat the page. This is the kind of bizarre, unbiblical, and dangerous behavior that happens when people elevate so-called prophets above Scripture. Instead of teaching people to rightly divide the Word of truth, these “prophetic” personalities turn the Bible into a prop, a ritual object, or a tool for spectacle. And somehow, people are expected to believe this is the power of God. Original video:    • Encounter Conference Service 5 | Prophet K...   In this video, we are going to examine the serious problems with this moment. The Bible is not magic paper. The power of God does not enter a person because they physically consume a page. Scripture is spiritually profitable because it is read, believed, preached, obeyed, and applied by the work of the Holy Spirit. Turning the Bible into something someone must eat in order to receive power is not faith. It is superstition. This raises major questions. Where is this taught in Scripture? Where did Jesus instruct people to eat Bible pages? Where did the apostles ever command this? Why are people being trained to follow strange prophetic instructions instead of sound doctrine? And why do so many people accept anything as long as someone says, “God told me”? The Bible does contain symbolic language about eating the Word of God, such as receiving it, internalizing it, and proclaiming it. But symbolic prophetic imagery is not permission for modern preachers to create random rituals and put vulnerable people through strange public acts. There is a massive difference between biblical symbolism and reckless theatrics. This is exactly why discernment matters. When a person claims to be a prophet, the standard is not charisma, confidence, emotion, crowd reaction, or how dramatic the moment feels. The standard is Scripture. If the instruction does not line up with the Word of God, Christians are not obligated to obey it. In fact, they should reject it. The most troubling part is not just the strange instruction itself. It is the environment that makes a young man think he must comply. In these settings, people often feel pressure to obey the “man of God,” no matter how odd the command is. That is not biblical leadership. That is spiritual manipulation. God’s power is not transferred through eating paper. The Holy Spirit is not activated by a stunt. The Word of God does not need to be turned into a performance. The gospel is powerful because it is the message of Christ crucified and risen, not because someone turned the Bible into a bizarre ritual. In this episode of All Things Theology, we are going to talk about Kevin Leal, self-proclaimed prophets, strange prophetic instructions, and why this kind of foolishness needs to be tested publicly by the Word of God. We chop it up properly without an apology. Software I use (Ecamm) Sign up with this link: https://www.ecamm.com/mac/ecammlive/?... AFFILIATES Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/allthings...
