7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

The following Bible verses give some clear instructions on how to identify false prophets:
−
7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
 
−
        but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 
 
−
7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
 
−
        and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 
 
  
−
* Isaiah 8:20 To the Law of God and to the testimony that comes from their mouth and they say it is from God and if God be not glorified and self abased then they are not a true prophet there is only one other kind of prophet and that is a false prophet. most talk smooth things and do not give God the glory due him.  
+
<!--T:39-->
−
<p>When a person talks of self and what self wants and self desires then they can not be a true prophet and one who prophecies without God telling him to prophecy is not a true prophet. If what they say contradicts God's word they are not a true prophet.

1

What is the prophetic gift?


The gift of prophecy as demonstrated by those who are given the gift of Prophecy. Prophecy is the gift from God to see before something happens what is to come to pass.


2

What are the main characteristics of a true prophet?


A prophet is defined as an inspired teacher or revealer of Divine Will. A test of a True Prophet is whether his teachings follow the Bible and if his predictions come true.

  • A true prophet’s predictions will “come to pass” (Jeremiah 28:9)
  • He will glorify God rather than himself (John 16:13)
  • He does not give his own private interpretation (2 Peter 1:20, 21)
  • He points out sin (Micah 3:5-8)
  • He warns of coming judgment (Isaiah 24:20, 21)
  • He edifies the church (1 Corinthians 14:3, 4)
  • His message harmonizes with the Bible (Isaiah 8:20)
  • He teaches that Jesus came in the flesh (1 John 4:1-3)
  • He has a Christian character (Matthew 7:16-20).
  • He is obedient to the will of God (Deuteronomy 18:18).


3

How can you make sure that a prophecy is true?


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." That which is true will not contradict the Bible in any manner. Feelings, emotions and the like do not make it so if it is of God it will be new light but it will not be old doctrine of God in His Word. The Fountain of Life.

4

How can a false prophet be identified?


The following Bible verses give some clear instructions on how to identify false prophets:



Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
— Matthew 7:15-22 (NKJV)



To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
— Isaiah 8:20 (NKJV)

When a person talks of self and what self wants and self desires then they can not be a true prophet and one who prophesies without God telling him to prophesy is not a true prophet. If what they say contradicts God's word they are not a true prophet.
