Chapter three - Steve Wohlberg 79ConclusionYes, we must beware of false prophets. However, that is not license to ignoreevery prophet. They must be tested and proved. God said He would sendprophets in the last days and most will reject them.Fruits of the dreamsWohlberg says: (see Appendix G)“Question: If ‘the Herald’ is a fallen angel disguising himself as one ofGod’s angels, and if the long-term purpose of his communications is todeceive God’s people, then how can we explain the great ‘good’ that havedefinitely come through the dreams so far, hearts being renewed, livesbeing changed, etc.Possible answer: The Holy Spirit still works through ‘truth,’ even whenit is quoted by the devil.The leaven of truth works a change in the whole man, making thecoarse refined, the rough gentle, the selfish generous (COL, 102).It is by the Spirit of truth, working through the word of God, that Christsubdues His chosen people to Himself (DA 671).Error is never harmless. It never sanctifies, but always bringsconfusion and dissension (5T 291, 292)”FactWe can see that Pastor Wohlberg is not convicted on his answer, because hestates that it is a possible answer. That is not solid proof. As he referenced fromThe Desire of Ages, p. 671, “It is by the Spirit of truth”—the Holy Spirit not thedevil—“that Christ subdues His chosen people to Himself.” The Bible counselsus to “Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”1 Thessalonians 5:20-21. Since Ernie’s dreams pass the tests of a prophet andare leading people into a closer relationship with Jesus, this is proof they arefrom God.God says:Selected Messages, Book 2, p. 74I tell you plainly, the messages of your daughter Anna are not fromGod. This the Lord has shown me, and He will not lie. She may say manygood things, may speak much that is truth, but so does the enemy ofsouls. The counterfeit will in many respects resemble the true. It is thefruit borne that testifies of the character.The Faith I Live By, p. 296Let the Testimonies be judged by their fruits. What is the spirit of theirteaching? What has been the result of their influence? “All who desire todo so can acquaint themselves with the fruits of these visions.ConclusionEllen White said that her visions and dreams were to be judged by their fruit.We argue the same for Ernie’s dreams.Holy Spirit instructed?
