Matthew 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Once again, speaking to the issues of false prophets. Their fail safe position will be blaming the member’s faith for any failure within the prophet’s message. The cry is not believe God but rather believe the prophet.

Notice here that I have not called out any names. I am dealing here with issues not personalities. Once I name a name I have taken up an agenda and strayed from the message. One of the most telling signs will always be within the edict “believe me”.

Matthew 24:24 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.

Cling to the phrase “if it were possible” know that the elect follow Jesus Christ by faith and not any prophet because he is convincing. Over and over again we have said to our readers, know God through you bible studies, and listen to the truth that is spoken by the Holy Spirit.

Know this, the office of the prophet no longer exists. There are no more Elijah’s, Elisha’s, Isaiah’s, or Daniel’s. I have a prophetic gift but I do not sit upon any seat of authority. My words are either God’s words or not and the only validation of any word is the bible. A proper understanding of the bible is required to defeat the deceits of false prophets.

Do all false prophets have false teachers? Yes, of course they do. Are all false teachers connected to false prophets? No, sadly that is another category of discovery we must explore.
