Episode Synopsis

Send us a textThe greatest spiritual deception doesn't announce itself with horns and a pitchfork—it arrives with a halo, a smile, and a Bible. In this powerful examination of Matthew 7:15-23, we confront Jesus' stark warning about "wolves in wool"—false prophets who appear as authentic ministers while secretly threatening the eternal destiny of those who follow them."Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." These words from the Sermon on the Mount strike at the heart of religious deception—not the obvious charlatan, but the subtle counterfeit who masters appearance while missing the essence of true faith. These wolves don't growl; they grin with charisma. They don't curse in the streets; they fill pulpits with silver-tongued messages that sound biblical but lack the transformative truth of the gospel.How can we protect ourselves? Jesus gives us a simple yet profound test: "Ye shall know them by their fruits." Not by their stage presence, not by their rhetorical skill, not by their crowd size—but by what their ministry actually produces. True spiritual fruit manifests as character under pressure, obedience when no one's watching, and genuine concern for souls rather than status. Most chilling is Christ's revelation that many will stand before Him at judgment, confidently pointing to prophecies and miracles done in His name, only to hear: "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."This message calls us to adopt the "Berean standard"—receiving teaching with readiness but searching the Scriptures daily to verify its truth. Don't just say "amen" to everything; ask "show me that in the Word." Your spiritual discernment isn't skepticism—it's Holy Spirit safety in a world where deception may be someone's final detour before eternity. John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."If you haven't received Jesus Christ by Faith, as your personal Lord and Savior; I strongly encourage you to do so before it is eternally too late!!!If you need someone to pray with you please feel free to contact us here at Words From The Word Of God!!!Via:Email: [email protected] Phone: (864) 309-9087
