Charismatics’ desire to receive extrabiblical revelations opens the door to the occult. Pat Robertson had a “word from the Lord” that he was to run for President of the United States in 1988. When questioned about this “revelation,” here was his shocking response:
Bob Slosser: “If God called you to run, then why did you fail to get the Republican presidential nomination?”
Pat Robertson: “I suppose we could ask the same of Jesus. God sent Him to be the Messiah of Israel and King of Israel; why did He fail the first time around and get crucified?”
