we live in a time of great deception and I want you to be armed so that you can identify five types of false teachers that you absolutely must Mark and avoid number one there’s the charlatan and these are those who use outright fakery sadly there are those who only pretend to be of the faith and use the church as a system of gain in 2 Timothy 3:13 we read but evil people in SW lers will grow even worse as they deceive others while being deceived themselves it’s sad but it’s true people fake Miracles and when I say fake Miracles I I’m not

talking about Christians who maybe think they got healed or are believing for a healing and confessing that by faith I’m talking about people who outright pay actors talking about people who fake the spiritual gifts I myself had a runin with an individual like this who was using my old outdated Facebook information to prophesy over me I called it proping and the moment I identified what they were doing I told that individual you can get all of this information on my Facebook and again I knew it wasn’t coming from the Lord

because it wasn’t accurate it was just outdated it was from an older Facebook page that they had found of mine so we have to be aware that not everyone who claims to be moving in the power of the holy spirit is indeed moving in the power of the Holy Spirit I understand that sometimes this can cause confusion but I think a good balance is to not be so paranoid that we just outright reject the miraculous and not be so gullible that we just Embrace everyone who tells us they’re moving in the miraculous but rather keep a healthy

observation of what is going on around you keep a healthy levelheaded discernment not moved emotionally and not stubborn hearted not closed to the miraculous or the things of the spirit because we know the Holy Spirit still Moves In great power we know the Holy Spirit still heals that prophecy is still for today Deliverance is still for today the gifts of the Spirit are still for today just have a healthy balance between being gullible and being paranoid so watch out for the charlatan number two the hypocrite now these are

those who live lives that contradict what they believe I’m not talking about ministers and preachers and teachers who make mistakes or who are struggling with something I’m talking about people who are outright actors in Matthew 7: 15-2 we read 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 can you pick grapes from Thorn bushes or figs from thistles a good tree produces good fruit and a bad tree produces bad fruit a good tree can’t

produce bad fruit 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 yes just as you can identify a tree by its fruit so you can identify people by their actions the word hypocrite literally means actor or one who wears a mask in other words that person that you see on the screen the person you see on the platform coming to the church and ministering and teaching in some cases that is a Persona that is a facade that is a costume that they wear a character
