False Prophets

Matthew 7:15

New King James Version (NKJV)

You Will Know Them by Their Fruits

¹⁵ “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

As the world continues to grow darker, attacks against the church will increase. We already have many attacks against us today, but it will increase as time goes on. This is why we, as believers, must guard ourselves from falling victim to the tactics of the enemy, Satan.

Unfortunately many attacks on the church come from members in the church who claim to be Christians but operate through witchcraft. One of the biggest offenders are those who claim to be prophets and deliver a word or message to another Christian and have it be wrong. Sometimes people lured in by false prophets because they tell them good things or bad things that they must not do, this ends up becoming a psychic-to-client relationship which is witchcraft and places the recipient under bondage.

The same happens when a whole congregation is given a word from a false prophet, without knowing that they are dealing with a false prophet. It can be even more detrimental when a congregation is exposed to a false prophecy given and accepted.

Like I have spoken about in previous posts, no one can take another’s “word for it”. Everyone must judge a person by their fruits first, before they can even think about listening to what some has to say them. This isn’t to say that every prophet or every word delivered by someone is wrong, however you cannot jeopardize your spiritual and physical safety based on a false message.

Anytime you get a word from someone you have to first look at the type of person who is giving you or the congregation the message, judging if the person exhibits any of the fruits of the spirit such as love, joy, peace and so on. Then you just place that message on the back burner and either pray on it or just wait for confirmation.

Beware of the false prophets and do not treat them as oracles that will give you insight in to your future.
