I am a believer, too. But, I cannot justify simply allowing prophecies to prevail. Is it possible that the prophecies are like road signs warning of a dangerous curve in the road ahead? Wouldn't we serve the Lord better by preventing prophecies from occurring? I believe God gives us warnings and all of our wonderful abilities to help us to prevail upon evil not to just allow Satan to prevail upon God's creations. And for the sake of Jesus who suffered on the cross for us, I believe we must conquer evil to repay God for the many debts we owe God.
