For three years Paul warned the Ephesian elders night and day with tears that even some of them would speak “perverse things to draw away disciples after them” (Acts:20:28-31 [28] Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
[29] For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
[30] Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
[31] Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
See All...). The charismatic movement in particular follows after men and women who speak perverse things and promise signs and wonders, among them Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, Marilyn Hickey, Frederick K. C. Price, Oral Roberts, Pat Robertson, Benny Hinn, Yonggi Cho, and others.
The above-above named individuals may sincerely believe they are serving Christ, but they have perverted the Scriptures. The power of the Holy Spirit is emphasized and sought with little regard to the fact that He is the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of truth. But the occult power manifest through false prophets causes their followers to overlook all else.
