False Teachers Produce Corrupt Fruit

There are certain me who have crept in unawares that are blind guides who will lead many into a ditch. They are spiritually blind who teach the truth of the “righteous of Christ” from their own understanding; by leaning upon our carnal mind to interpret the spiritual meat leads people astray. We are all called to preach the Gospel to every creature, but some have delusions of grandeur and refuse to repent for any error because “God himself speaks to them”. The problem is to obtain this relationship one has to go through the righteousness of Jesus Christ and Jesus warns us of those who do not.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.” – John 10:1 KJV

Therefore, we will know them by their actions: How they handle situations, how they speak, if they justify themselves. Are they the greatest or the least, do they seek recognition of men, or at the cost of persecution and stand by every word of God?

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

They are deceived brothers and sisters, they are conformed unto the god of this word who rules over the principalities and powers, and rulers of high wickedness. Their doorway to is their carnal mind that is amity with God and thereby they will cast you out of the synagogues and “think” they are doing God a favor. Deceived into servitude by the spirit of the antichrist, the spirit of the world, reckoning that works brings forth salvation and that godliness is gain. Quick to challenge you into comparing your fruit to theirs, for a wicked and adulteress generation seeks after a sign.

However, this is a trick of the devil speaking through them attempting to bait you into justifying yourself to a man. This puts you in sin for God justifies us.

“But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.” – Galatians 2:17 KJV

Satan is slick and his depths are deep. Be aware of his many subtle devices to lure you into contention, into the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life which are not of the Father, but are of the world.

“For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” – Hebrews 5:12-14 KJV

They are blind guides who lack the ability to tell good doctrine from the nuances of evil ones. The Apostle Paul speaks as to why they should not be teaching for they are babes being carnally minded and by reason of such they will attribute those sinful behaviors. Jesus said in Matthew 12:30 “He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad” and that’s what’s going on. When you stand for Christ, it will cause divisions among those who are carnally minded. They will not understand your viewpoint and due to their nature accuse you of being the root of their problem. Paul speaks to this as well.

“And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?” – 1 Corinthians 3:1-4 KJV

These kind claim to be spiritual and have understood the teachings of Jesus Christ, but in reality, they know nothing according to God for their hearts are proud. When such has been made manifest unto us we are to turn away. If they beat you to the punch and reject you first, praise God and know it is He who separates the tares from the wheat so that you can grow! Even though this will hurt remember this is suffering for Christ.

“But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.” – 2 Peter 2:1-3 NKJV

This is a hard message for many who in Jesus’ time walked away from him at the prospect of denying themselves. They see themselves as having already arrived thereby, they forget to be the least. They are wicked servants in need of one to teach them again the first principles of the kingdom of heaven which is peace, righteousness and joy in the holy ghost. Notwithstanding, they’ll refuse to humble themselves knowing everything and thus, know nothing. Following the error of Balaam seeking after glory and the wages of unrighteousness, casting stumbling blocks among the brethren, rest assured they have their reward. By looking to advance their kingdom in the name of Christ but not producing the fruit of a good tree, they are only serving the god of their own belly.

Know them by their fruits, not by the words they say, but by their Godly behavior.

Unskilled in the word of God and blinded by their own ambition, they are in need of the milk of the word over again, but instead teach their revelations as accurate spiritual meat. By the sweat of their brow they receive the bread of life, but it can only be a few slices; for they leaven it with their own understanding. In turn, they create a dimly lit lamp of their gospel as opposed to the light of the world we are called to be. Beware of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees brothers and sisters, for they are always learning, but never coming to the knowledge of the truth which is Jesus Christ.

What is done in the Lord’s name that doesn’t abide by Him, is not of Him; but is another Jesus preaching another spirit’s gospel. Therefore ye must study to show yourselves approved unto the Lord and rightfully divide the word of truth.

Nevertheless brethren, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which spitefully use and persecute you. Show yourselves approved to be children of our Father which is in heaven and may the grace of our lord Jesus Christ be with you all. God bless and take care.
