A Word For Wednesday How To Spot A False Prophet

It is time for A Word For Wednesday. A Few minutes ago, I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.


We must not be deceived by false prophets in these last days.

Jesus said,
Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

How will we know false prophets? Amazingly, God already anticipated that question and answered the question for us too.
Deuteronomy 18:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
How do we know if the Lord is speaking through this man or not?
The man says the Lord is speaking through him, but how do we know?
Here is the answer
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

If he preaches and prophesies and what he says does not come to pass he is not a prophet from God.
But
That is not the only guideline. God also gave us guidance for hearing a prophet who prophesies and it does come to pass.
Deuteronomy 13:1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

If his predictions come to pass YET he preaches or teaches doctrine contrary to God and God’s Word, he is a false prophet!

Saints, we must be careful. We can not afford to be deceived by false prophets.

Thank you for reading today.
