Topic: True prophets (Apostolic Revival)
Acts 15:32-33 KJV
And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them . [33] And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
In the midst of confusion by the reason of several counterfeit prophets, there's need for us to know how to identify true prophets.
Jesus made it clear to us in the scriptures.
"Matthew 7:20 KJV
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."
The fruit test is the pure and genuine test to know the true prophets.
Check out what kinds of fruits their lives show forth.
"2 Peter 2:1-3,14 KJV
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. [2] And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. [3] And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. [14] Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:"
Many of these strange prophets are immoral, sensual and their ways are evil. You can not separate the messenger from his message.
Check for fruits before you go after them, stick to Jesus only.
"Galatians 5:22-23 KJV
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."
Prayers: Lord Jesus, cleanse your church from strange spirits standing in the holy places.
Remain blessed
"The power that sustains the universe lies in the unity that exist within the Trinity"(Omoloye A A)
If you were blessed by this devotional, please kindly share, that somebody somewhere might benefit from it. God bless you as you do so.
It is not difficult to identify fake prophets, their fruits always exposes them to the discerning children of God who has not allowed him or herself to be blinded by fake miracles and enormity of their problems which in most cases ought to be a stepping stone to greater height.
