Discerning true from false

Matthew 7-9

7:15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them."

How necessary discernment is nowadays, especially for people involved in inner healing & deliverance ministries! Sometimes we need to test a vision of Jesus received by the person we're ministering to, especially when the Jesus behaves differently from the Jesus we know in the bible. How essential it is for us to know the Word, in SPIRIT and in TRUTH.

Prayer:
Father, continue to help us be faithful in reading your Word, especially for those of us called to the inner healing & deliverance ministries. Give us a discerning heart and a quick & sharp mind, to challenge & overthrow the schemes of the evil one against our lives & the lives of those we're ministering to. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
