Cindy Jacobs, Engle, and the like believe that they have supernatural powers of the exact same sort possessed by Jesus Christ, given to them by the Holy Spirit, thus allowing them to know the will of God, perform miracles, and cause events to happen.
NOTE: We have reached that time when we can expect to see the marvelous working of Satan. The churches are eager to seize political power and many miracles are being wrought to deceive and convince men to set up the image to the beast, deceiving "them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live." "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty." Revelation 13:14, 16:13,14.
"It is fully time that every responsible worker should take his stand firmly on the word of God. This word is to be our defense when Satan works with such lying wonders that if it were possible he would deceive the very elect. It is then that those who have not stood firmly for the truth will unite with the unbelieving who love and make a lie. When these wonders are performed, when the sick are healed and other marvels are wrought, they will be deceived. Are we prepared for the perilous times that are right upon us? or are we standing where we will fall an easy prey to the wiles of the devil?" Manuscript 81, 1908, p. 7.
"As the condition of the church and the world was opened before me, and I beheld the fearful scenes that lie just before us, I was alarmed at the outlook; and night after night, while all in the house were sleeping, I wrote out the things given me of God. I was shown the heresies which are to arise, the delusions that will prevail, the miracle-working power of Satan--the false Christs that will appear--that will deceive the greater part even of the religious world, and that would, if it were possible, draw away even the elect." Letter 1, 1890, p. 2.
"False prophets will arise, and will deceive many. Everything is to be shaken that can be shaken. Then does it not become every one to understand the reasons of our faith? In place of having so many sermons, there should be a more close searching of the Word of God, opening the Scriptures text by text, and searching for the strong evidence that sustain the fundamental doctrines that have brought us where we now are, upon the platform of eternal truth." Letter 1, 1897, pp. 1, 2

Because of these false prophets the name of the Lord is blasphemed. This was prophesied long ago that it would happen. If it is here now then it will pass quickly. "Let not your hearts be troubled." "When you see these things begin to happen lift up your heads and know that your redemption draws near." It will be darkest before dawn. Hold on to the cross with all your might, trust in God, trust in the death, burial, and resurection, until the storm passes and God's people are finally at peace. He is coming and his reward is with him. Amen!
