Re: How to discern true Prophets
Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye hear and see: 5 the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good tidings preached to them. 6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
There is nothing destructive here, only things that heal, build up and encourage.
Nothing done secretly, everything was done in the open, before all.
Nothing that would cause the way of the truth to be blasphemed, on the contrary all these acts resulted in glory to God.
Nothing covetous, the gospel is to the poor who cannot recompense.
Please note, everything Jesus did was to restore people to their full function. What false prophets do is to bring you into bondage to serve their whim.
25 At that season Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: 26 yea, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight. 27 All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him.
The bottom line is this, you need a revelation from the Father to see Jesus. Now there is no way that you will even know the Father unless the Son wills to reveal Him to you. Think how awesome this is. Maybe the false prophet was able to deceive you, maybe you suffered in the LC or experienced one of these negative testimonies. But, can the false prophet deceive Jesus? Can he deceive God the Father? If he can't deceive them then it is all for nothing. The only thing that really matters is knowing the Son and having Him reveal the Father to us. In the end the False prophet has deceived himself into thinking his deceit has some kind of value or some kind of wisdom. It is simply folly.
