How To Know a False Prophet.

Could you please take your time to read through my article about fake prophets.
I took my time to write on this because God's Word said in 1 John 4:1(NIV) : Dear friend, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirit to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
In the world we live today, there are many false prophets deceiving people, if a true believer is not observant enough, he might also be deceived. I remember the incident that happened where I live, during a big crusade program organized by one controversial prophet, as the crusade was going on, heavily armed robbers invaded the arena. The next thing we saw was both cripple, blind that came for miracle began running for their lives, after the armed robbers invasion, we asked the blind how he could run, even the cripple how he stood up to run, after much interrogation by the police, they confessed that they were paid to pretend to be blind and cripple. Some people have asked how they can distinguish between false prophets and true prophets or minister of God. Well, its very easy to know a true minister of God. Firstly, a true prophet of God draws people to God the Father and to His Word, not to himself or some other gods.
Secondly, he walks in love. 1 John 4:8 says, "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love."
In addition, there has to be a consistency of God's Word in his mouth, he not just speaks the Word, he does the word and proved the word in his own life.
1 John 2:26-27. The Holy Spirit will speak to you. A believer must know God's word for himself.
• A false prophet is always after money for himself not the work of God.

You have to know the Bible. If you don't know the truth you'll believe a lie.

Thank you for this great post!
The problem is that even true prophets are now turning to false prophets because of money! They are enticed and are putting off the nature of God.
It is increasingly getting difficult to see a church that is worth going! Even those who are not false prophets, are money merchants. Many churches are headed by Pastors anointed by Lucifer himself.
Only God will open our eyes in this last days!

All are signs of the end time..i pray God give us insight to acknowledge them and desist from them.

very critical. but this is a very sensitive issue to discuss, because if people do not understand it correctly, then there will be misunderstandings. apart from that I upvote yours is on the basis of friends because for me the issue of religion becomes our personal belief. for you your religion, and for me my religion.
