Prophet Tom Deckard | SermonIndex

I would be very interested in people's opinions here on this guy. There is one YouTube video about this guy who says he is a prophet of God and that his prophecies have all come to pass. He prophecied AIDs, the two Iraq Wars, and some startling upcoming events, including an upcoming worldwide Bird Flu epidemic.

Go to his website and read how he says Christians can avoid it by properly applying the blood of Christ and keeping God's commandments.

I can't find anything wrong with what he's saying. I read his entire websites. There are even pictures of a "glory cloud" on him.

It's enough to have me in prayer about it.

Well, since you asked :)

There are Hindus, Taoists, and Buddhists that have also learnt how to tap into the Adamic soul-power and predict the future, clairvoyance, mesmerize, hypnotize, heal, etc. Signs and wonders and fulfilled predictions and miracle healings in the Name of Jesus alone do not make a true prophet of God. There is an unmistakable aroma in the true prophets of God, an aroma of brokeness and gravity of which I detect not in this man, his tailored image, nor in the flippant way he speaks and uses God's Name frivolously every 30 seconds in the unctionless phraseology of "bless God". A man who truly knew God wouldn't speak like this. Every word of the true prophet is carefully weighed and purified. If you want to compare the real with the false, I suggest you do a comparison of this video with any message by ~~[url=https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=173]~~Arthur Katz[/url]

This is one reason why we have not allowed linking to youtube and other video sites and sermons because people can "waste" ~~[b]~~much[/b] time listening and watching these materials that do not edify our personal walk with the Lord Jesus Christ.

People have little time these days and it is best to fill as much with good materials from sermonindex.net as possible.

"Note to the original post."

I can understand your allure, as all of us would like to find Elijah, hidden out, with real spiritual Power and Faith.

Tom Deckard is a liar. He deceives and lies; exaggerates to the point of the pathological, and does have some hypnotic power over the naive, and unsuspecting.[ no offense if you fell for this wolf.]

I have known of him for 25 years, and went to one of his meetings. As you may guess, I was excessively grieved. Again, a never ending stream of fantastic claims including apostolic ministry over 10s of thousands of primitive people groups, prophetic authority over nature, and predictive prophesies about world events.

The only particle of this being valid was from his own testimony. He proved these Mosaical feats in the only way a liar can. He lied. It seemed that if he thought he got one over on you, he come back with even a bigger whopper, to shock you. Not one fact or corroborating witness.

I am only saying this to you, as the moderators have indicated; You need some discernment, and the only way that you can get it, is by learning the ways of Jesus, and prayerfully reading your bible, for yourself. Not to teach, or have knowledge, but to LIVE by.

As was mentioned, the man's fruit is suspect, to say the least. This is how you identify a deceiver , over a man of God. The peace, love, and graces of Christ will flow from a man, or woman of God. You will know them by this obvious, unhidden fruit. A deceiver will just tell you about his exploits or fruit, and impress you about his own super spiritual life. Look for control in the ministry of a deceiver. Jesus never controls. He sets you free, either to love Him, or not.

They will NOT exalt themselves, or brag about their mighty power. I ask you, why would anyone want you to believe they are so great? For what reason? Think it out. As the moderator said, do you see humility? Do you see brokenness? Is Jesus exalted above all? "Grievous wolves, drawing away disciples AFTER THEMSELVES!, not sparing the flock![ ACTS 20]

They want to impress you with Elijah claims, to gain control to enhance their power over men. the reasons are various, but the result is the same. Shipwreck! For you!

This is , I believe the point of the moderators, It takes a little more than because "I SAID SO!", to make a prophet. Many are pathological liars who want you in their web, as disciples, to gain power. Tom Deckard is one.

Pray diligently that the Lord Jesus would send a true Shepherd into your life, to get you to a point that you could walk in your own wisdom with THE LORD. This man will also show that he loves you, and is for you knowing God, above the benefits you may give to him.

"NOT that we have dominion over your faith, but are fellow workers for your joy, FOR BY FAITH.....YOU STAND!,,,,2 COR 1 VSS. 24

1 Corinthians 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
1 Corinthians 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
1 Corinthians 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

I dont have much time, so I'll just cut to the chase and be blunt...

You said:

I can't find anything wrong with what he's saying. I read his entire websites. There are even pictures of a "glory cloud" on him.

The fact that you cant find anything wrong with him concerns me. Glory cloud? Other than Renassaince art, where in scripture do we ever hear of a "glory cloud" being on someone? And having just glanced at his site I found a lot of things that are just plain unscriptural.

My recommendation to you, my friend, is stop watching these so-called prophets on youtube, and chasing after "the annointing", and bury yourself in the Holy Word of God.

I dont want you to take this post as being "harsh" or anything like that. It is truly out of a heart of concern that I say these things because I was once caught up in all that garbage myself.

And... years of experience have taught me that if someone claims to be a modern day prophet... he/she probably isnt. I'm leary of ANYONE who proudly claims to be this or that "in the Lord". They are nothing. God is everything.

Tom Deckard is very easy to debunk as a false PROFIT! To this day, he claims to have healed a muslim president of Malawi's brother of HIV. Malawi has only had 3 presidents! The 1st one was a Christian, since 1905. That leaves 2, alive and well! It was reported in the NY Times on 2004, that President #2's (Bakili Muluzi) brother had died of AIDS. The current has never reported an HIV brother. Deckard is reading the news! And read Daniel and Revelation for yourself.

Tom Deckard is a false prophet, he holds meetings in a small town in southern Illinois where I live. There are people that attend the church where I go that used to sit under his ministry. These people have shared with me some of the things that went on in his meetings. At one time, like many that get off base, I believe Mr. Deckard was used by God. I don't want to just slam the man, or repeat things that I have not seen for myself, but several men of God I respect in our town have broken fellowship with him for the things he has taught.

Bill, I like your quote: "Regardless of how brilliant or how great one's intellect may be, God's Word is not understood by human wisdom or reasoning. It is only through the Spirit of God that the Word of God is understood."

Just noticed it for the first time. I copied/pasted it in our church bulletin! Thought you might like to know!

To all the others, if you write something that grabs my spirit, it will likely show up in our church bulletin sometime.

God bless SI!

I would like to contact to you about your information about deckard. My family has been destroyed by this man and I need people who actually know him to help with a court case to save my infant daughter from his poison. I need first hand info. Anyone else who has information about this group feel free to contact me. Thanks and God bless.

I just viewed a few of Dekards videos. To my surprise, he apparently had nothing worthwhile or useful to say.

But I did find this to be most informative:

Deckards' Fees:

Partaker: $30 per month. You get his magazine.

Partaker Plus: $50 per month, you also get his monthly video.

Silver Partaker: $ 100 per month, which will also allow one admission to attend two of Dekards Prophecy events.

Gold Partaker: $ 500 per month, which adds on to the above all Dekard's new product releases - (whatever they may be).

Platinum Partaker: $ 1000 per month Membership in the prophecy circle events.

My memory is hazy on this. So I ask my fellow Christians here on Sermonindex: Are these fees by Deckard similar to the fees charged by Paul, John, Peter, Mark, Matthew, Luke, Jude, and Jesus too, to hear them speak, or receive their letters, or to be in their inner circle?

What? They did not charge at all!!!

IMO, Deckard is a self seeking fraudalent con artist who mercilessly tramples on unwary, unwise, gullible - Christians.

Unfortunately, there will always be accomplices to evil in the world; those eager to rape and plunder the inner man for profit.
Yet, it must be said that that Jesus not only loved us enough to die for us ... He also loves us enough to lead us to the truth. We do not follow after a God who abandons His people to the devices of the enemy. On the contrary, we are instructed to become equipped to properly discern good and evil.

If we insist on this singular confession, "God is ONLY and completely good!", we will avoid being captivated by the large majority of gospel fraudsters and false teachers. Any thought which fails to conform to the fundamental confession that God is ONLY good is not true and life suffocating.

Unfortunately too, there are some of our brothers and sisters who possess a weak disposition within their human spirit because of earlier spiritual injuries. These are needing to be built up and strengthened so that they are able to better withstand the lying words of men.

You're comment is excellently informative on the subject, ravenmolehill.

I have a cloud over my head, sadly, its' kinda a whiter shade of pale.

Blayne, I appreciate and concur with your post directly above.

I agree with Paul West and pretty much everyone who answered this post; i think it is unanimous who this guy really is.

Anyway, have you not ever noticed how none of the true prophets of God never have to go around CALLING THEMSELVES PROPHETS? Elijah never did. John the Baptist never did. Samuel never did. Elisha, Jeremiah, etc. They didn't toot their own horns and they didn't NEED to. They were known far and wide, nonetheless.

nobody can really understand until they have been there.. i have gone to a number of meetings over the past 4 years because my husband has been deeply involved, however, i refused to be involved. it was a very painful 4 years. my children are still deeply involved. fortunately, after four years, my husband stepped out from under that bizzare cult. the main reason…. he had to chose between “the cult” and his wife that he was unequally yoked to. i am so thankful that God grew me during this time, gave me strength and answered my prayers.

i had to leave my church at the time because i had no support, but thankfully i found an incredible “salvation by Christ” believing church, with great leadership, who held us up in prayer before our incredible God.

here are the plain facts:
*FACT! mr. deckard is a false prophet.
*FACT! his “ministry” is a very dangerous cult.
*FACT! women and children are “lesser” persons and must be in total submission to the men.
*FACT! mr. deckard claims to have taken a vow of poverty, however, he and his wife drive cadillac escalades.
*FACT! mr. deckard does not pay taxes and encourages others to not pay their taxes either.
*FACT! mr. deckard claims to have been raised in an orthodox jewish home, however, his family is not jewish at all.
*FACT! mr. deckard claims to know hebrew, then he claims he doesn’t know hebrew… i don’t think mr. deckard even knows what he knows…
*FACT! mr. deckard claims to have 33+ years in the prophetic ministry, but that isn’t possible… in 2000, his churches were disbanned following his confession of having mulitiple affairs and being decietful and lying to these congregations. it is only 2012.
*FACT! his followers are not allowed to listen to other speakers, read other materials, or talk to one another in between sessions regarding the messages… this is to avoid the risk of someone questioning what he has “taught” them.
*FACT! mr deckard didn’t employ a body gaurd to protect himself, but to protect others from himself!
*FACT! if you are under his leadership you are not allowed to check on him on the internet, so those who do are looking for something better.

there is so much information at this website, http://www.freedomfromthelaw.com .
- and as far as the $5,000.00 for your piece of the island… this just screams jim jones/waco, tx/CULT. i used to joke around and say, “whatever you do, DON’T drink the koolaid”, now i am so saddened that it is truly more of a possibility all the time…
- as far as the woman who died at his quarterly meetings in january… only a few individuals even knew what happened. ask anyone who was there, even today, they are not aware of the tragedy that happened in their own camp that weekend! their fearless leader did NOT offer up an explanation or express condolences to the family that was there and had left. he did not request of his followers to follow up and encourage the family who had just lost their loved one the very first night of the three day meetings.

THANK YOU, for getting some truth about this evil man who calls himself a major prophet of (god) and passes his uncontrolled anger and tension off as honoring to a Holy God.
