Jesus once called Peter "Satan" to his face—not because Peter was evil, but because Peter was opposing God's plan with good intentions.
Peter had just received revelation from God. He had just been called "the rock." And then, moments later, Jesus says: "Get behind me, Satan."
What happened?
Peter's words—spoken out of love and protection—stood in opposition to what God had already revealed. That's what made them satanic. Not demonic. Not evil. Just adversarial to God's truth.
In this episode, I introduce "The Peter Problem"—a framework for understanding when well-meaning words, including prophetic words, actually oppose God's plan.
We'll explore:
• Why Jesus called Peter "Satan" (and what that word actually means in Hebrew)
• How modern prophetic ministry often operates through fear tactics and false promises
• Real stories of failed prophecies about healing, marriage, and breakthrough—including a woman who died after stopping cancer treatment based on a prophetic word
• How prophecy has become a manipulative business model that traps people in cycles of fear and false hope
• 10 practical questions to test any prophetic word you receive
• What God's voice actually sounds like (hint: it doesn't threaten you)
This isn't about attacking prophets. It's about recognizing The Peter Problem—when words that sound spiritual actually oppose what God has already said.
The Hebrew word śāṭān (שָׂטָן) simply means "adversary" or "opponent." You don't need the devil to be involved for something to be satanic. It just needs to stand in opposition to God's revealed truth.
You are allowed to reject any "prophecy" that opposes God's character or His Word. You're not being rebellious. You're testing the spirits—exactly what 1 John 4:1 commands.
You're not crazy for questioning. You're not rebellious for testing the spirits. You're doing exactly what God told you to do.
Still unlearning,
