Was Edgar Cayce a True Prophet?

Jesus, while speaking to His disciples, warned them of false prophets and explained how they would recognize true or false prophets.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, but a corrupt tre bringeth forth evil fruit.

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fuit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them (Matthew 7:15-20).

Edgar Cayce, who was a devout Christian, questioned the source of the readings as being devine. After years of watching the effects of the readings, he came to the conclusion that the source was not an evil source.

I put the idea that the Devil might be tempting me to do his work by operating through me when I was coneited enough to think God had given me special power.

But I've watched it for years, and I've studied myself as best as I can; I've prayed, and I've waited to see what would come of it. I've been convinced for quite a while that it's a good power, or force. It hasn't ever done evil, and it won't let me do it (There Is A River, Thomas Seague, p. 210).

Edgar Cayce brought forth good works. He never sought fame or fortune. As a matter of fact, he lived most of his life just barely living from day to day. He had dedicated his life to helping others and his death was even brought on by overwork by trying perform all of the overwhelming number of requests that came to him.
