FAKE FRUITS
Matthew 7:15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
FAKE DREAMS: Before I delve into the subject, we need to also be aware that the evil one can manipulate your dreams, plant thoughts in your head and do many tricks, so discernment is key here. I used to go to one particular village, stay in the pastor’s house and minister in that village, they did not have any children. Slowly I saw the pastor’s spiritual life deteriorate and that of the wife too, very dangerous. That particular pastor’s wife was telling about her dreams almost every day, the pastor was sick and tired of hearing nonsense from his wife who neither prays nor reads the Bible. So there are people who keep blabbering, you can identify them by the fruits in their life. God warned: Jeremiah 23: 32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,” declares the LORD. “They tell them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not send or appoint them. They do not benefit these people in the least,” declares the LORD.”
MANIPULATION OF THE DEVIL: The devil can misguide you by putting wrong thoughts and give you dreams as well, therefore, it is very essential that you need to discern the spirit and rebuke it, if it is from the devil. When a serpent comes in the dream, that is a clear sign of satanic attack, likewise the ‘deceiver’ can deceive you in many ways, so be alert and cautious!
God promised the following: Joel 2: 28"It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions.”
Acts 2:17 “ ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
Numbers 12:6 he said, “Listen to my words: “When there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams.
God has promised to speak to us through visions and dreams; therefore let us eagerly expect God to do so and when He does speak, please do not blow the trumpet and announce the dreams to every Tom, Dick and Harry, be silent about it and pray for revelation rather than sabotage the dream by wrong advertisement. Are you hearing me?
Personal testimony: I saw visions and dreams of the new city that we would be moving 15 years back and also of the free SCHOOL (ABIDE SCHOOL) that we would be starting in the new City. We prayed about it and within about ten years most of it have been fulfilled.
Beware of fake fruits and fake prophets though!
