"A WOLF in WOLF'S Clothing!"

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves." 
                                             (Matthew 7:15)

Jesus was very clear in His declaration and warning for Believers in this passage from the NT that's holds true even more so today. What must He have seen in order to unction His followers to be vigilant in watching and listening for the enemy who seeks to devour their FAITH?

Please take note that Jesus said that the false prophets will come to you in "sheep's clothing" and He goes on to say that they (the false prophets) can be detected by their "fruit." First, the Greek word for clothing is "enduo" which means "to wear;" its literal translation means to "sink down into" a garment! His inference is that wolves will become "like" sheep in order to get what they want.

Second, His reference to "fruit" is a spiritual term. He is talking specifically about the physical evidence of reproducing Christ in the earth through love, life and service to God's people in the marketplace. Has Christ been "reproduced" in your life as a servant carrying His banner? Are the people better or worse off after having met you? Are you "debt-free" in love? Has the "word" God placed in your mouth planted trees in the lives of others that bare good fruit or bad fruit? Does God know your voice when you speak to Him?

Spiritual discernment is critical to the survival and vitality of the Believer in the modern day church. False prophets are "endued" with deception, manipulation, wickedness and perversion. They are liars because their father (Satan) is the father of lies!

This is what a wolf in sheep's clothing looks like:

False prophets are the enemy of God. Since they are God's enemy, they most certainly are beloved of Satan. They are, in fact, Satan's kids! Just wanted to let you know where I stand on this issue! They have become so bold and brazen, they don't even try to use the sheep's clothing anymore! They aren't trying to hide anymore. They are straight up trying to kill you, your family and your legacy.

These are the character traits of wolves:

• They are cowardly and fearful
• They have elaborate displays of dominance and submission
• They are bloodthirsty and ruthless
• They are cunning and very intelligent
• They are charismatic and travel in packs

Do any of the false prophets you know of or have encountered possess any of these traits?
