As Christians, we need to be careful not to make someone else’s revelation a doctrine or practice without first verifying with the Holy Spirit. Just because God instructed someone to do something, and the person got the required outcome, does not make that practice or revelation the blanket intervention for all to apply. For example, prophet Elisha instructed King Naaman to dip himself seven times in the Jordan river, and the king was cured of leprosy (2 Kings 5: 1-14). However, his actions did not mean that leprosy is cured by dipping into a river.
Encouraging Christians to verify practices with the Holy Spirit before implementing them; you may not get the desired outcome! Unfortunately, many are caught up in such practices, which stem from personal revelations and, sadly, false teachings that have infiltrated the church. Some of these practices are ritualist and occultic. Such practices have also left many disappointed, frustrated, financially decapitated, and confused and have kept believers stunted in their spiritual growth.
