Jesus warned us clearly in Matthew 7:15—false prophets would come in sheep’s clothing but inwardly be ravenous wolves. Today, with charismatic personalities, massive online followings, and miracle claims sweeping through the Church, many believers are left wondering: who is truly speaking for God—and who isn’t?
This article from Crosswalk outlines seven key signs of false prophets in the modern Church. From teachings that twist Scripture to leaders who promote themselves more than Christ, it’s a timely reminder to test every spirit, as 1 John 4:1 instructs.
Discernment isn’t optional—it’s essential. As the lines blur between influence and spiritual authority, we need to ask hard questions, compare teachings to the Word, and stay rooted in truth.
“A false prophet’s fruit will always betray them—eventually.”
