How To Discern Between True Prophets & False Ones
For those interested in learning more about prophecy, specifically how to discern between not just true prophets from false ones, but also the difference between the gift of prophecy and the office of a prophet, I pray this teaching blesses you and your relationship with the Father through His Son, Jesus/Yeshua. This video also explains why prophecies don’t always manifest. If you don’t have time to watch, keep reading below the video for the overall summary. Shalom!
“All prophets have the gift of prophecy, but not all who have the gift of prophecy are prophets.”
Gift of Prophecy vs. Prophet
Before digging into the how to discern between a true prophet and a false one, let’s discuss hearing God and the gift of prophecy.
Hearing God: Jesus explained during His ministry that He is the Great Shepherd and He is after the lost sheep of Israel (but that is an entirely different topic worth your time). See John 10.Those who believe Jesus/Yeshua is the son of God who came to take away the sins of the world become adopted into His flock as His sheep. Upon receiving the Holy Spirit, Jesus tells us we will be able to hear His voice (John 10:27).
We won’t necessarily hear His voice immediately or atleast be able to distinguish His voice instantly, but in time, as we get to know Him through His word, we will eventually start developing the ability to recognize His voice…what is from Him and what is of Satan. So, eventually, all believers should be able to hear His voice. To learn more about hearing God, click here.
Gift of Prophecy: After one has learned how to hear the Holy Spirit for themselves, they may be activated with the gift of prophecy. This gift is one of the many gifts of the Holy Spirit and is designed to edify, exhort, and comfort others. The various realms of prophecy, especially the ‘word of knowledge’ aspect not only encourages believers, but helps convince non-believers that God is real and wants a personal intimate relationship with each of us. The Apostle Paul explains we all should (at some point) be able to prophesy as our hearing skills and faith develops by responding in obedience to what we are hearing. No prophecy, or spoken voice of the Spirit, will ever contradict God’s written voice found in the Bible. See 1 Corinthians 12-14. James 2:22-25.
“All prophets have the gift of prophecy, but not all who have the gift of prophecy are prophets.”
Many will have the ‘gift of prophecy’, but not all will be prophets of God, or in the ‘office’ of a prophet. Discerning the difference between a true prophet of God versus a false one, will also help you understand the difference of one who can flow in the gift but not be an actual prophet.
How to Discern Between A True Prophet Vs A False Prophet
- A True Prophet: WILL acknowledge both the Father and the Son (Yahweh/YHVH, as the one true living God, and His Son, Jesus Christ/Yeshua, the Messiah). Whereas, a false prophet will not. This is a very elementary principle. James 2:19; 1 John 2:22-23
- A True Prophet: WILL be called by God through typically a vision or dream versus their own wishful thinking. If you evaluate all the prophets of the Bible, the vast majority the LORD spoke to them through a vision, dream, or some type of visual experience. To learn more about those topics specifically, watch my teachings “You Might Be A Prophet IF” and “Learn To Discern”. Numbers 12:6
- A True Prophet: Does NOT want to be a prophet. Whereas a false prophet promotes themselves and their status as a prophet, their merchandise, etc. Why? Because prophets are hated, persecuted, isolated, lonely, and usually killed not to mention, carry the burden of the prophecy itself. A false prophet wants to be a prophet for fame, respect, power, and control. True prophets are humble, often isolated (especially when being called by God and refined before ministering), often lowly in position, seem peculiar or different from the world (think of David and Amos how they were just shepherds of no status and the fact that John the Baptist ate honeycomb and locusts!). False prophets want the glory and strive to be popular. They often are flashy, showy, performance driven, and driven by money. They often prophesy about their follower’s material possessions versus a heart for God. Jeremiah 20:7-10; Habakkuk 1:1-4
- A True Prophet: WILL most likely tell you what you NEED to hear, not what you WANT to hear. Hence, why the prophet was sent in the first place. Whereas, a false prophet will be all about telling you want sounds good to you. They can read the idols of your heart and therefore, tell you what your heart desires making you like them and that word. A true prophet’s message will be about cultivating an authentic relationship with God through Jesus, His Son, and far less about material fleshly things. Although a true prophet may at times provide an encouraging positive word if that is what God tells them you NEED to hear, it will more likely be a message of repentance, warning, or judgment. What I call a “Reflect. Correct. Direct.” type of message. Be more leery of prophets who give you words of ‘peace and prosperity’ than prophets who correct or warn you. But also remember, the gift of prophecy, in non-prophets, tends to be more encouraging. Always analyze the overall message though – does it point your heart towards an authentic relationship or fleshly things? Ezekiel 13-14
- A True Prophet: Will be all about “REPENT. Serve the LORD.” whereas a false prophet will be all about “RECEIVE. The Lord serves you!” Again, a true prophet could care less about your worldly goods or fleshly things and will be focused on the issues of your heart that need aligning to the Father and His Word. Jeremiah 23:9: Jeremiah 28.
- A True Prophet: The prophecy of a true prophet will probably** manifest whereas a false word will fall to the ground (fail). Deuteronomy 18:18-22; Jeremiah 28:9. Jeremiah 18.
**Please note!
IF the prophecy manifests, that could be a very good indication it is of the LORD. UNLESS, the overall message of that prophet is telling you to serve the idols of your heart, another God, man’s doctrines, or more worldly things versus the One True Living God and His ways, His laws, His will!! THIS IS A TEST FROM GOD. Jesus and His Word tell us many false prophets as well as one main false prophet will arise specifically to lure you away from an authentic relationship with the Father through Jesus and surrendered obedience to God. Deuteronomy 12:32-13:10; Matthew 24; Revelation 12-13.
IF the prophecy does NOT manifest, that could be due to a few reasons:
- It came from the so-called prophet’s/person’s heart (imagination) not God.
- The person/prophet added to or subtracted from the word itself. Never do this as this will cause an inaccurate word. Just give the word if you genuinely believe it is from God and He has released you to speak such things. Don’t over-analyze it, don’t add to it to help it make sense, and don’t hold back either. Don’t make it fit what you want. Don’t get it twisted by trying to predict what it will look like. Deuteronomy 12:32
- The people repented or disobeyed, depending on if the prophecy was a call to repentance (much more common) or a prosperous prophecy (very rare), and so it was a prophecy conditioned on the response of the people. The end goal of all true prophets who prophesy repentance, warning, and judgment is that the prophecy NOT manifest for that means the people repented.Jeremiah 18.

False Predictions About The Mid-Term Elections
False prophets capitalize in telling you what you want to hear. They specialize in reading the idols of one’s heart or in this case the idol’s of a state, country, or religion’s heart. Scripture teaches us that a true prophet of God is more likely to tell you what you DON’T want to hear; hence, why a prophet was needed to be sent in the first place, than a false prophet reading your heart’s desires and causing you to trust a lie. Get in the Word of God to learn the differences between a true prophet and a false one. Otherwise, you will continue to be deceived. California is blue and did not go red as a true prophet could have told you *if* the Lord indeed revealed it and it wasn’t a desire of one’s own heart. Study and seek the Father on Ezekiel 13-14 and Jeremiah 28. #prophecy #prophets #WordofGod
Additionally, study the difference between a prophet, or the office of a prophet, versus the gifts of prophecy. Similar and yet different.
Not surprisingly, this YouTube channel, Lord’s Prophecy, deleted my above comment speaking truth in love that I posted in the comments section of the video,
“Mark Taylor Interview * California Will Go Red” (see below). Brother and Sisters, be sure to worship God and follow His Word – not man and their false prophecies and teachings. Shalom!
Hurricane Florence – Repeat Prophecy?
(Recorded September 6, 2018) As Hurricane Florence approaches the East Coast, Carrie reflects on the possibility of a prophetic word that applied to Hurricane Irma may also manifest THIS season! After obediently posting a warning on social media news and weather outlets forewarning Charleston of coming destruction, some called me a false prophet. Just as I warned on 9/9, the storm will shift. Charleston was heavily battered on 9/11, ground zero day (see below links). Could Hurricane Florence ALSO shift on 9/9 making Charleston the epicenter or “ground zero”? https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2… https://www.postandcourier.com/news/f… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GwZG… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWVM0… #HurricaneFlorence #HurricaneIrma #prophecy #Charleston
Opportunities To Love In The Forecast
If you are paying attention, you know there is an increase in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, fires, floods, temperature extremes, the planets aligning, etc. Through it all, God’s sons and daughters are being beckoned to listen and to be aware as we are about to be matured in love. Soon, life as we know it is about to change…Our kingdoms, idols, false security, and things we all too often find our identity in will turn to rubble (I Corinthians 3) exposing our hearts and it’s motives. When we are comfortable, we are complacent – meanwhile too many are perishing forever lost to the love of Jesus Christ and too many sons are daughters choose to remain in the nursery failing to grow up in Him.
We all think we know best, without adhering to our parent’s instructions. We all want resurrection without the experience of death. We all want to be gold, without enduring the forging fire. We all want the glory, without trusting in and cooperating with the process of sanctification.
I don’t believe any of us can comprehend nor say for sure what the undoing…the cleansing…the laundering of a white dress (Ephesians 5/Book of Revelation) will look like, but we do know God cannot be mocked, we all reap what we sow (Galatians 6:7-8), and yet, He is merciful should we humble ourselves and turn our hearts and lifestyle to Him as God wants no one to perish (1 Peter 3:8-10).
The ever-increasing birth pains as the physical manifestation of The Son (Jesus/Yeshua) is about to be brought forth once again and these trials and tribulations are designed to invoke His kids to **not just embrace the love God has for us, but to love Him back by obediently loving those around us fearlessly** no matter what the cost.
Each tribulation we encounter in our lives provides unique opportunities to love Him by loving others…to bring heaven to earth…thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven for this is the Father’s heart and will (Matthew 6:10) all the while uttering, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”
Soon and very soon, God’s sons and daughters will be forced to move from a place of “God loves me” to a place of “and because of this relationship of love, I choose to sacrificially love others..” on earth as it is in heaven.
Shalom.

Earthquake…Tsunami in the Carolinas?
(Recorded July 2, 2018) In this episode, Carrie shares an update on the prophetic impression/dream/vision of an earthquake and potential tsunami to affect the Carolinas of America.
Since posting my original earthquake warning to affect the Carolinas video back in February, I have come across others warning of similar things for the Carolinas (2 Corinthians 13:1; Deuteronomy 19:15) :
Urgent Prophetic Warning for California!
Note: This video can also be seen on SteveMac88 youtube channel. Feel free to share if you feel so led.
(Recorded July 2, 2018) In this episode, Carrie shares an important and urgent warning for those living in and around or visiting Rockaway Beach, CA (San Franciso, Menlo Park areas) in the near future.
Here are the details of how God kept sharing such secrets…
*November 14-15,2016: Had bizarre dream of three events to come: 1) Assassination Attempt on Politician (fulfilled in June 2017) 2)Influx of Church Shootings (Fulfilled in major Texas Church shooting & others). 3) “Great Shaking” (earthquake presumably)
*November 2017: Heard 3 separate times in my spirit in the same month (time frame): Earthquake, Earthquake, Earthquake indicating something about 3 back to back earthquakes.
*In Feb 2018 during my regular reading of the Bible, I came across “earthquakes” on 3 different times when reading just a few days apart.
1) Amos 1:1, “The words of Amos…. two years before the earthquake.”
2) 1 Samuel 4:5, “And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, all Israel shouted so loudly that the earth shook.”
3) 1 Samuel 14:15, “And there was trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so that it was a very great trembling.”
I found it alarming that without even trying, the Spirit led me to 3 different verses all indicating an earthquake on 3 separate occasions. Equally quickening, was how Amos 1:1 jumped off the page highlighting to me 2 years before the earthquake. Initially, the first time earthquake was brought to my attention was November 2016 nearly 2 years ago. Also fascinating is the fact that the great shaking or “great trembling” verse of 14:15 matches the dates of my first prophetic warning dream of the upcoming “great shaking” I had on Nov 14-15th, 2016. Coincidence? Or Confirmation?
*February 26-27,2018: Dreamt “Rita” from Sun Microsystems called me inviting me to come back to Sun Microsystems to help with a recovery clean up and to teach and fellowship with others at a workshop (at the clean up site). She said I urgently needed to catch a plane and that I would be there for 11 days. The plane went from Ocean City, Maryland and possibly connected in Colorado (Colorado was somehow involved) to Rockaway Beach. “Rita” means “pearl” – we know a pearl is not generated without irritation,chaos. The number 11 means “chaos,destruction, judgment, prophecy”. Or so I discovered when researching these peculiar clues. Sun Microsystems is no longer in business, but it’s headquarters is now the headquarters for Facebook and is located in Menlo Park, CA just 28 miles from Rockaway Beach, California. Despite all these clues, I still was not sure about which Rockaway Beach the dream was indicating as there are a few in the United States and 2 specifically in the west (Oregon and California). The Sun Microsystems being headquartered in California should have been a huge clue, but I didn’t pick up on it. Instead, I asked the Father to reveal to me which state: Oregon or California. In June, on Father’s Day, The Father clarified for me.
*June 16-17,2018 (Father’s Day): Dreamt I was at my family’s home in Maryland. In the dream, I woke up to use the bathroom and was surprised to find my parents watching the news in the middle of the night horrified by what was on their tv screen. California suffered 3 major earthquakes back to back in the same area…like 3 in 1. The smallest of the 3 earthquakes was a 6.0. When I looked at the TV it was dark in California, as in at night, and there was what at first glance looked like a fire with debris on fire flowing in the river, but then it was as if the dream clarified it to be flowing dark lava with fiery spots. It was something about the earthquakes triggered volcano(s) to erupt..super volcano? These earthquakes had everyone’s attention and it was truly terrible. I remember thinking in the dream these quakes would trigger more across the USA and the Carolina earthquake would soon follow.
See my previous video: https://flipflopfellowship.com/2018/0…
Eventhough I live in Myrtle Beach, SC, it is especially interesting to me that when I had the dream about flying out to RockawayBeach I was flying out from Maryland (where my family is located) and then later in a different dream, my dream’s location of where I was when the California earthquakes manifested I was in Maryland. Another coincidence? Or confirmation?
Go to God to learn if you should stay in California or relocate. Some will be called to stay while others will be encouraged to relocate. Seek the Spirit…
Don’t be afraid, but be aware and as prepared as one could be for such perilous times. Have an earthquake plan if you are staying in that area.
