Identifying the False Prophet 11 Unaware of Deception It is important to remember that the false prophet may not actually realize that they are of this category. If you read Jeremiah you will see how the prophets in front of the king struck Jeremiah because he said they were prophesying falsely. They retorted, "What makes you think the spirit of revelation would pass over us and on to you?" As far as they were concerned, they were speaking for the Lord. Such a person will be both surprised and likely offended by your revelation. Yet if they truly know how to hear from the Lord, then they will receive the revelation for themselves and truly submit to the correction. It is possible that this type of person is so steeped in deception that they cannot see it at all. If they come to repentance they will be able to break free and get rid of the deception that is clouding the true word of the Lord. If such a person breaks free of their bondage, the Lord can truly continue to use them. However I would once again advise that such a person refrain from directive or group ministry until his spirit has come into order. They should be placed in a position where they start from the very beginning and sit under teaching to rebuild what the deception has torn down. They will have to learn what it is to be a servant and to remain in submission before the Lord can release them to work on His behalf. This person is also likely to face a lot of death and pressure to continue to expose all areas that the deception has spread to. They will have to come to a place of total doubt and uncertainty in their revelation before the Lord will release them to speak again. Then when they finally do get to speak out, they will do so in fear and trembling!
