"Test the words of the prophets"


   There are many posts here which praise this or that "prophet" and his "Words from the Lord". We are to test the spirits behind these words to determine if they are, indeed, from the Lord. According to the Old Testament, if a prophet spoke words from God, they were always 100% true. If not, the man was not speaking the words of Almighty God, and he was to be put to death.( Deut.13:5) Miriam, the sister of Moses, prresumed to speak for God and was struck with leprosy for seven days.(Num. 12). If God dealt with false prophets today in like manner there would be many lepers among us.
    Recently several "words" have been forwarded as if from God by "his prophets". I always see red flags raised when anyone purports to speak "from the Lord". This "prophet" raised many flags. Read the article at this link to know the truth behind one of "God's prophets".
