Matthew 7:15-20 ~ The Correct Understanding of False Prophets

Excerpt:

In this way every good tree is producing good fruits, but the corrupt tree is producing evil fruits.  That makes sense. An apple tree produces apples. An orange tree produces oranges. An evil tree produces evil fruit. Not work, but fruit. The expression of the life of the spirit in the tree. So then from their fruits you will exactly know them.  Whatever spirit is speaking through them, whatever spirit is motivating them, whatever that spirit is trying to get you to do, determines whether it is the Spirit of God or not. Not if it is "religious." Not if it seems "good." It is the spirit and motivation behind it. Is that spirit presenting Jesus Christ, and all He has done for us, and all that He is to us? And the blessing and mercy and grace that He pours out upon us?  Is that what the spirit is presenting? Only God's Spirit does the work of God.
