The world is full of false teachers who are being used by Satan to literally lead you astray ,to give you a watered down gospel that is NOT of God.
Satan uses these false teachers to entice you into believing that what they speak is truly of God when it is not, he uses these sinful greedy people who are not believers of God to speak lies and deceits. And Satan knows that many of you will blindly follow these wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Satan’s only goal in this world is to destroy you, he hates humans, he’d rather see you sin and continue on in sin only to be cast into hell.
Many of these false teachers swindle you out of heaven and use the money you tithe saying it’s for God and the church when they use it for their own gain, big houses, fancy cars, expensive suits and even private jets.
First what is a false teacher? False prophets are people who claim to speak on behalf of God but have their own agendas. Jesus warned the disciples to keep an eye out for these people when He said: Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
A false prophet or pseudoprophet is a person who falsely claims the gift of prophecy or divine inspiration, or to speak for God, or who makes such claims for evil ends.
A true messenger in their lives should demonstrate the fruits of godly character, such as love, compassion, and righteousness. They will call for people to repent of their sins and return to God, even when the message is unpopular. How can you tell if someone is a false prophet or teacher?
They Say What People Want to Hear.
They Teach a Doctrine Other than Christ
They Use Tricks to Pull People In
They are dishonest about their real intentions
They Teach a Doctrine Other than Christ
They Seek to Divide Congregations
They Ignore the Need for Repentance
They Gloss Over Any Sins They or Other Church Leaders Commit
They Substitute Their Own Words for God’s Word
They Do Damage to Church Families
They Will Face God’s Punishment
Jesus warned us that “false Christs and false prophets” will come and will attempt to deceive even God’s elect. Matthew 24:23-27 KJV 23 “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.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.25 Behold, I have told you before.26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
Jesus urges believers to remain vigilant and not be misled by false claims, as His return will be a clear and undeniable event. Galatians 1:6-9 KJV 6 ” I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”
Paul resists the false messengers and wants them to be accursed for leading the Galatian believers astray.
Resist the false messages from Joel Osteen, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Rick Warren, Steven Furtick, Joyce Mayer, Joseph Smith, Muhammed Islam, the papacy of the catholic church. All these people are false teachers spreading a false message.
1 Timothy 4:1-3 KJV 1.”Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.” Paul warns against false teachings that will emerge in “later times,” specifically those that forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from food, which God created to be received with gratitude by believers.
2 Peter 2:13 KJV And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you.” Peter is writing to assure you that the false teachers will not get away with what they’re doing. As much as they seem to be succeeding in the present moment, they will suffer wrong as the payment for the wrong they are doing. God is paying attention; judgment and destruction will follow. 2 John 9-11KJV – 9 “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”
John is warning you against false teachers and their teachings, urging believers to reject those who stray from the true doctrine of Christ and to avoid giving them any form of support or encouragement. Ephesians 5:11King James Version11 “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” Paul instructs believers to “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them,” meaning they should not participate in or condone sinful actions, but instead expose and challenge them. Romans 16:17-18King James Version17 “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” Paul urges believers to be discerning, warning them to watch out for those who cause division and offenses, contrary to the doctrine they have learned, and to avoid them, as these individuals are not serving Christ, but their own interests, with smooth talk and deception. I pray my brothers and sisters that you heed this gospel message,keep your eyes open for these wolves in sheep’s clothing that you be not led astray. Focus on Jesus, accept HIM into your hearts and lives and Repent of your sins. Accept God’s free gift of salvation offered to you through Jesus Christ and HIS finished work on the cross. In Jesus name I pray.
