Who is a prophet? And how do I tell the difference between a true prophet and a false one?

A Prophet is a mouth piece of God or spiritual pen of a ready writer (psalm 45:1) that God uses to write His perfect will on paper, in the earth, in the atmosphere and in the universe, and through the mouth of the prophet or the life (character) of the prophet, God begins to reveal, to speak, to mould, to structure, to instruct, to inspire, to impregnate (2 Kings 4:16) and to release images in the form of uttered words into the minds of people via a prophet or prophetess.

Hosea 2:10 says: Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets, the word hewn means; to conform, to fashion, to mould, to make or to design, Hosea: 12:10 says: I have also spoken by the prophets, and have multiplied visions; I have given symbols through the witness of the prophets.

Revelation 19: 10 says:..For the testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of Prophecy.

John 6:63 says: the words I speak unto you are spirit (DNA, genetic code, God’s offspring, prophecy, vision, or inheritance) and life.

Amos 3:7 says: Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

Description of A false prophet

A prophet is some one that is called and chosen by God to speak, to deliver and to reveal God’s will to others through his or her speech and life style. A prophet must be called and chosen by God (the choosing is something that was done by God even before this prophet came into the womb of her mother. as in Jeremiah 1:5).

Romans 11:21 says; for the calling and the gifts of God are irrevocable (unchangeable, irreversible), and because of this, the gift of a prophet can still function even though this prophet is not totally submitted under God’s will, there are few examples that are given in the bible about the prophets and prophetesses who had their gift of prophecy working, but yet when they themselves were not living according to God’s will, these are also known as the false prophets, prophet Balaam was one of them (numbers 23:1-30).

I repeat; there are people who move in the calling of a prophet but yet when their lives are not clean or holy or dedicated to God, these prophets always prophecy about the things that people want to hear (things that justify the evil motives of the people’s evil desires), through their prophecies and speech they focus more on the miracles that will fulfill the people’s needs, rather than speaking the truth that will change their lives and confront their bad un holy behaviors, if they are men they are womanizes, and if they are women they are seductive.

The strength that empowers the ministry of the false prophets is the spirit of sexual immorality, they promote it, they do not speak against it neither warn people about it, because they know that as long as the people are ignorant about sexual immorality, then they stand a big chance of being able to continue to manipulate them, control them and also exploit them.

In Numbers 31:16 & Numbers 25:1-3 Balaam the false prophet gave advice to Balak after he had realized that he could not curse Israel because of God‘s blessing upon their lives, so he decided to tell Balam to send women (Moabite and midianite women) into the camp of Israel, and after these women had finished seducing them or committing adultery, fornication and sexual immorality with them, then you will be able to curse them (casting of spells and witchcraft will be able to work against them).

The book of Revelation 2:19-23 talks about Jezebel, a woman who seduced and corrupted God’s church by making it eat things sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality.

In Revelation 19:20 a false prophet was speaking and out of his mouth came unclean words in the form of frogs which went out into the whole earth so that they may influence the kings and the leaders of the earth into doing evil and legalizing evil laws, and all these false prophets have one goal in common, and that is the purpose of using their mouth or gift of prophecy to curse, to corrupt, to manipulate, to control, and to pervert the people’s character so that the human beings on the earth may live contrary to God’s Commandments that are written in the old testament, an influence and behavior that leads to the hatred and opposition that goes against the Jewish nation, which contributes to the promotion of the spirit of anti-Semitism.

Description of the true prophets of God:

A true prophet of God is someone who is moving under the calling of a prophet (speaking God’s word or revelation in prophetic symbols, patterns, pictures, and visions and also living a life of restraint and obedience to the calling of his or her prophetic mantle, and through his obedience to his prophetic calling, he or she manages to relate and connect his own emotions, desires, feelings, and motives into God’s perfect will (which also consists of God’s emotions, feelings, desires and motives ),

and through this divine connection and relationship, this prophet will begin to feel, to relate, and to have knowledge about God’s judgments, plans, desires, and decisions that God has made in heaven concerning a certain group of people, city, nation or geographical location.

There are different types of prophets, and each prophet is called to speak God’s plan, to mould, to rebuke, and to relate the people’s motives, habits and desires to the reality of God’s apostolic structure that God is about to release through the apostolic grace, because every prophet has a spiritual assignment and responsibility of being a mouth piece that bears witness of the apostolic revival that God is about introduce into the world (John the Baptist bore witness and prepared the way for the apostolic ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ as in).

Prophets are called to prepare the way (by redirecting the people’s life style from the pattern or world system that makes them to behave selfish, so that they may be able to return to God’s foundation and truth that is revealed and structured by the apostolic anointing).

There are twelve apostles and twelve systems in the world, and each prophetic gift is spiritually designed to bear witness, to relate and to prophecy in a way that upholds and informs the world about the apostolic grace or system through which that prophetic gift that is prophesying was intended to function, in a simple explanation this means that;

Every apostle (among the twelve apostles) is prophetically revealed, advertised and introduced to the world through the prophetic office, and after that the apostles are responsible of building the spiritual foundations of every gift or talent, and they are also responsible of introducing the world to the spiritual systematic move of God which is connected to the Jewish nation or the twelve tribes of Jacob’s son called Israel.

A true prophet of God always delivers a message to the people from God which brings conviction, and a strong desire or radical act of repentance that makes them repent from their own wicked ways so that they may turn back to God with all their heart, body, soul and strength, a message that brings the people from their comfort zone of compromise, bad behaviors, immoral acts of sexual immorality etc so that they may be able to relate their emotions and desires back to a God that is holy.
