And many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

FALSE PROPHETS AND DECEPTION
A poem and essay by ILMA
Can you recognize false teachings from the truth?
You can identify it if you let God’s word take root
The counterfeit will never give praise to the Lord
They love to advance their own and follow the world.
When teachings do not point to Jesus and the cross
Beware! It’s a trick to confuse you and get lost
Scriptures say that false prophets will deceive many
They are phony and they serve the enemy.
With the rise of information these days, there are many opportunists who use all kinds of media to scam people. How can you gauge a true prophet? They usually know the truth and their lives show that they follow these truths. When a prophet defies a command of God or twists it to his own purpose, we can clearly see that they are counterfeit. How would you know if they are walking their talk? We must listen to what the Holy Spirit tells us. We must also study the word of God and store it in our hearts. It is for our own protection if we know God deeply. When we know his very character, we can easily detect when someone presents something contrary to his nature. The bible cautions us from these false prophets who will deceive many people.
PRAYER
Jesus, let me never stray from your truth.
REFLECTION
How can you spot a false prophet easily?

Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act.
–Matthew 7:15,16 (NLT)
ACTIONS MANIFEST THE FRUIT
A poem and essay by ILMA
Beware of false prophets who disguise themselves as sheep
They will deceive you and pull you down deep
The only way to know is to be in the word
It exposes the evil ways of the world.
Anyone can façade their intentions fluently
They can say anything and persuade you powerfully
Their authenticity can be gauged only by God’s truth
Their actions reveal if they have the fruit.
There is a rise in teachers, preachers and prophets in these present days. Believers must be careful of false prophets. The only way to identify them is by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. The bible says in Matthew 7:17-20 that a good tree can’t produce bad fruit and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.
You can identify people by their actions. If their actions do not jive with what they say then they are counterfeit. That’s why Christians must show by example what they believe just as Christ did while he was among us.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to live what I believe.
REFLECTION
Why is it important to walk your talk?
