Pastor Mugadza who predicted the death of President Robert Mugabe and arrested Monday, his lawyer says, Gift Mtisi, said that he was relaying a "message from God. Police would have to prove that God didn't say it".
Patrick Mugadza announced last week that the 92-year-old head of state would die on 17 October this year.
Mr Mtisi said his client had initially been charged with undermining the authority of the president, then "criminal nuisance" and finally "insulting people of a certain race or religion".
He said Mr Mugadza was laughing about the charges and would plead not guilty.
"I'm still at pains to find the criminal part of it," Mr Mtisi told the BBC.
He added the pastor had no regrets about making the prophesy:
"He's admitting to the facts. He says he didn't lie - that's a message from God. Police will have to prove God didn't say it."
