There is no question about it—we live in a world where false prophets will continue to rise until Jesus returns. However, what are there signs we can look out for to make sure that we do not fall victim to a false prophet’s trap?

In a riveting conversation between Jennifer Bagnaschi and Amanda Grace, the two discussed how to detect these false prophets and what believers need to do to fight back against the contentious spiritual wars of this world.

Recognizing False Prophets

False prophets don’t always preach outright lies—they mix truth with deception.

“If you know the voice of your Father you will be able to spot the nuances in the counterfeit,” Grace says. “Kind of like how bankers can just by touching a bill and looking at it can tell whether it’s counterfeit because they have been trained to spot the best counterfeits that are out there. It’s the same way you have to go through a process of training and purification and refining to get to that point.”

She urges believers to rely on spiritual discernment and the Holy Spirit’s leading rather than emotional appeal. Too often, the modern church lacks vigilance, allowing deception to infiltrate.

Engaging in Spiritual Warfare

Grace describes today’s battle as a “Revelation War,” where believers must stand firm in prayer and truth. She shares how her latest book was a prophetic assignment, confirmed by another prophet’s dream.

“When the Lord has given you something to do,” Grace says. “You need to test it and you need to get confirmation. Sometimes the Lord will suddenly give you confirmation in His Word and that will be one of the confirmations, but He will confirm it multiple times to you and it will always be something that is going to destroy the kingdom of darkness.”


If you feel unsure whether something is from the Lord or not, Grace believes a key is to pray protection and to rebuke if it is the enemy trying to hide himself in plain sight.

Breaking Curses and Enforcing God’s Authority

Many believers also unknowingly allow negative words and spiritual attacks to take root in their lives. Grace teaches that curses can be nullified by declaring God’s Word over situations and rejecting demonic influences in Jesus’ name. The key, she says, is understanding spiritual authority. Through the name of Jesus, we’ve been given power over all the darkness of the enemy, and it is our right to walk as sons and daughters of the Lord Most High.

One thought on “Beware! These Are the Warning Signs of a False Prophet”
  1. The Word of Father Yhovah teaches how to discern spirits, a simple question! In the 20 some years since He chose me to write His Books this has never failed me. Am I the only one that gets answers?! I don’t believe that.

    1Jn 4:2-3   Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
