"I visited a certain church. The pastor is a woman. She claims to be a prophet. She apparently has been to heaven & hell on numerous occasions. She claims to be a seer and sees snakes, monkeys & crocodiles in certain homes. So she and her team "cleans" these homes of these objects... She would drop salt around someone and pray for them during the service. She interprets omens and always about a member whose death is imminent. Your comment please, Pastor Mark? As her congregation fears her."
