The most famous teacher of this false doctrine is Paul Yonggi Cho, the pastor of the world's largest church in Seoul, South Korea. Basically, visualization is an attempt to see in the imagination, the miracle one wants to be performed. They believed that by being able to see this in their imagination, the miracle would come about. Others, who have difficulty in praying to a God whom they cannot see, are told to visualize Jesus in their imagination. The result of that exercise is that they end up praying to a mere figment of their imagination rather than to the real, living God, and are thus deceived.
Visualization is a technique used in many false religions and especially in witchcraft.
Charismatics believe that poverty and ill-health do not glorify God and that all sickness, poverty, bad circumstances etc., come directly from Satan. This is when a person who is being prayed for in a prayer line, falls backwards supposedly under the power and control of the Holy Spirit. This is a tremendous hold of fear on the majority of Charismatics who dare not even consider the fact that the miraculous gifts given as signs in the Apostolic age, have served their purpose and therefore have ceased or been replaced. The true believer who is caught in the Charismatic web but who genuinely loves God and loves the Truth often feels there is something not quite right with what they are experiencing and being taught but cannot quite say just exactly what it is. The reason many people join the Charismatic movement is because they want power, the very same reason people join the occult.
