Protecting
ourselves from being deceived or misled by a false prophet would seem to me to
be a pretty important thing for Christians to do, especially at this time in
Earth’s history. So I have put together some guidelines which can be used for
those who may be in doubt about whether or not someone could mislead them. best
way that I know of to identify a TRUE PROPHET would be to use the Word of God
ALONE to do so. Fact is, if a Prophet IS sent by the Christian God who wrote
the Christian Bible, then common sense would be that to identify same would be
BY that Christian God's Word...
1.
Deuteronomy 18:21-22, "And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know
the word which the LORD hath not spoken? 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."The true Prophet of the Lord predicts that
which does come to pass. If the Prophet's predictions fail, they are exposed as
NOT of God.

Numbers 12:6, "And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among
you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak
unto him in a dream." The true Prophet of the Lord will receive visions or
dreams from the Lord
3. Numbers 24:4 "He hath said, which heard the
words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but
having his eyes open:"Numbers 24:16,
"He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the
most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but
having his eyes open:"When in "vision" their eyes will be
open.
4. Daniel 10:17, "For how can the
servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway
there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me."
When in "vision" a true
Prophet will NOT breath. "Inspiration" = God Breathed,
Therefore, since the Almighty is breathing through the Prophet communicating
His Truth, the Prophet has no need to breath.
5. Daniel 10:17, "For how cans
the servant of this my lord talks with this my lord? for as for me, straightway
there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me." The true Prophet will collapse with
absolutely no strength in him/her
6. Daniel 10:18, "Then there came
again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened
me,"Once "touched in the "vision" the Prophet
receives supernatural strength.
7. Jeremiah 28:9, "The prophet
which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass,
then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him."
A true Prophet will be 100%
accurate. there is absolutely no margin for error.
8. 2 Peter 1:20, "Knowing this
first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private
interpretation."
A true Prophet NEVER gives his private
interpretation. He only shares what the Lord reveals. Scripture defines
Scripture, not man.
9. 2 Peter 1:21, "For the
prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as
they were moved by the Holy Ghost."A true Prophet only prophecies in the
name of the Lord. He only seeks to glorify the Lord. He will never
seek glory to himself. NEVER!
10. 1 Corinthians 14:3-4, "But he
that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and
comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that
prophesieth edifieth the church."true Prophet will look
to edify, comfort, and uplift the Church body by his testimony as
well as exhort them.
11. Isaiah 8:20, "To the law and
to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there
is no light in them."A true Prophet keeps God's Law,
and abides by the testimony of the Bible Prophets as well. If a Prophet
does not agree with the Bible Prophet's or does not keep God's Ten Commandments,
he is a false Prophet
12. 1 John 4:1-3, "Beloved,
believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because
many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of
God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of
God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have
heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."
A true Prophet believes and preaches
the incarnation of Jesus Christ. He will preach Jesus as God who came to
Earth and put on humanity in order to redeem us all.
14. Exodus 15:20, "And Miriam the
prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women
went out after her with timbrels and with dances."
Judges 4:4, "And Deborah, a
prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time."
2 Chronicles 34:22, "And Hilkiah, and
they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of
Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she
dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to that effect."
Luke 2:36, "And there was one Anna, a
prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great
age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;"
Acts 21:8-9, "And the next day we that
were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into
the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with
him. And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy."
Gender makes no
difference. Women can, and have been prophet's as well.
15. Acts 2:17-18, "And it shall
come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all
flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men
shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my
servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and
they shall prophesy:"
Age makes NO
difference in being a prophet.
16. Matthew 24:24-25, "For there
shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and
wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Behold, I have told you before."
Performing miracles proves nothing.
