… I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come – John 16:13

Trust Nobody, Not Even Your Wife!
… Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. – Micah 7:5

…Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is - Jer.17:5-8

Most prophets, ‘alfas’ & ‘babalawos’ are occultists who already have a pact with powers of the air (Epesians 2:2), marine and other sources. They only hide under religion to perpetrate evil.

Some of them preach pain and magnify the devil and demons to create fear in people thereby attracting followers; While others like politicians preach gain by capitalizing on peoples greed and ignorance.

King Saul died because he did not keep the Word of The Lord & because he consulted a familiar spirit for guidance… So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse. – 1 Chro.10:13-14

SOLUTION WITHIN

Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge – Pslams 19:2

… But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned - 1Cor.2:9-14

Since God created you in HIS image, you need to know God, so you can know YOU.

… And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But you, when you pray, enter into your closet, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father which is in secret; and your Father which sees in secret shall reward you openly. But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knows what things you have need of, before ye ask him – Matt.6:5-8

So, how do you know HIM? – Live by Godly principles by having Godly relationships and taking Godly decisions.

What is worst than a wolf in sheep’s clothing;………… A wolf in shepherd’s clothing!

The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof? – Jer.5:31

For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed - Is.9:16

And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. -Matt.24:11 – 13

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple - Rm.16:17-18

… But there were false prophets also among the people… who privily shall bring in damnable heresies … And many shall follow their pernicious ways; … And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you… 2Pet.2:1-6

Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works - 2Cor.11:13-15

It’s either you have New Covenant Ministry, or ‘your own’ ministry!

When a man's ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him – Pr.16:7

The God And Solution You Go About Looking For Is Now Inside You!

God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands - Acts.17:24-25 >>> Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

...Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. …Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth - Jn 4:19-24

...Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them - Matt.18:19-20

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart - Jer.29:11-13

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you – Luke 10:19

I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is The Lord of my life from this day. I'm born again and now have ETERNAL LIFE through Him and His Name. Thank You Lord For Saving My Soul.

Continue to study your bibles prayerfully for divine enlightenment and revelations.

-Peace.

Grace To You All.

Glory.

Your title is misleading . You're saying we shoukd beware of prophets yet you are quoting prophetic writings . It should rather have been to beware of false prophets . When you say to beware of prophets you're invariably attacking the prophetic ministry and despising the office . That's unscriptural .

1 Thessalonians 5:20
20 Despise not prophesyings.


Ministry of the prophetic is major part in the New Testament
