False Prophets

Matthew 7:15  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  We are all prophets, but not all are Christians.  Some of us look like and talk like a Christian, but inward we develop no fruit.  We are unforgiving, prejudiced, and we harbor hate in our hearts.  We think we are better than others and want help anyone even though God has blessed us.
 Matthew 7:16 you’ll recognize them by their fruit.  False Christian can fool most people, but those that have developed fruit also have discernment so we can see right through them.  If we do not study the Word of God, we will not fully develop our fruits, and we most produce fruit to have Christ-like character.  Now there are times God will call you, and when that happens, He has already prepared you for the mission.  But even then we still have to communicate daily with God to stay strong in Spirit.  Jesus was called, and daily He spoke with God to maintain His strength, courage, and faith.

Matt. 7:24 Therefore, everyone who hears these Words of Mine and act on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on the rock.  If we study God’s word daily, meditate on what we have read, and pray for understanding, we will act like Christians.

Father, with so many false Christians today, help us see through the sheep clothing, so they do not cause confusion.  Lord, teach us how to study Your word with our hearts daily so we may develop Christ-like character.  Lord, give us guidance and help us draw near to You. Jesus, give us eyes that see so we do not stumble over obstacle of day-to-day life.  Holy Spirit come into our hearts and assist us with obedience to God’s Word and order of steps in His will.  Father when the storm comes give us Your strength, so we do not collapse and keep our foundation strong.   Lord, give us Your courage so no matter how long the storm last we will endure.  Lord, please hear this pray in Jesus name Amen
