I think a lot of people are deceived because they so badly want to be special - not realizing God has already made them special.
Many who prophesy or use other "gifts" are really unknowingly pretending.
I gave my testimony at a group Baptism one time. Afterward, a man who was a "prophet" came to me saying God gave him a message for me.
The message was based on my testimony and twenty years ago would have made sense. But today I have overcome those past struggles thru Christ Jesus.
This man believes he has a gift - I do not.
When we use the gifts God has blessed us with we accomplish much in His name. When we deceive ourselves we accomplish nothing of eternal value.
