I've heard Pastors who refuse to allow the prophetic ministry into their churches give vague warnings about "false prophets" coming in. Yes, scripture warns us about them but we are also warned about false teachers. Teachers in general  have a heavier judgment because while a false prophet may harm an individual or a church, a false teacher may infect an entire generation with a false teaching that may then be passed down to succeeding generations...repeated till Jesus returns. The same can happen with false prophecy too, but far more churches accept false teachings than they do false prophecies. So, whether false teachings or prophecies, the only safeguard is the Holy Spirit's abiding presence within us. When in doubt - ask him! He delights in leading us into all truth (Jn:16:13).
You can trust him with your whole heart - he will never lead you astray. He will teach you how to recognize his voice so that another you will not follow, and he will do this quickly when you seek him for it - when you seek him in order to know the truth, not to validate what you think is truth. He will expose every lie spoken to you by the devil through men, and he will expose the lies you tell yourself. You will learn to discern what spirit the one teaching you is really of, by becoming intimate with the Holy Spirit yourself. Lastly, may I add, as you get to know the Holy Spirit, you will recognize him in others. Surround yourself with wise counselors, filled with the Spirit...there is safety there...seek out other men and women who know the Spirit, who are full of him.....who bear his fruit, who speak his words....who demonstrate his gifts....remember, the anointing is caught more than it's taught.....

I'm sitting here drinking "filtered" water. The filter is an admission that the water provided by man is not pure. The filter is meant to remove any impurities from the water, purifying it.
The Word of God refers to itself as water - and it certainly starts out pure, but when it's given to us to drink by men without the Holy Spirit, it becomes mixed with man's spirit, or sometimes demonic spirits, and it's full of man's wisdom and it becomes full of impurities.
We must allow the Holy Spirit to "filter" the Word taught to us by men not anointed by Him to teach, so that the "impurities" - the false doctrines, are removed, that only that which the Holy Spirit teaches remains. His teaching is water our souls should drink in deeply. Without the Holy Spirit we cannot "rightly divide the Word" and we end up "wrongly dividing (understanding) the Word".
The first thing Pastor's seek to do is learn to teach God's Word. They go to Bible college for this reason (among others). Ephesians 4:11 shows us Pastor and Teacher are separate ministries yet Pastors believe they are called to teach. Some are, most aren't. James 3:1 - Revised version says - "Be not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment". Indeed - denominations full of teachers, with no Apostles or Prophets, are a fulfillment of 2 Timothy 4:3&4. Exalting the teaching ministry over all others is a clear sign of the end times

Should it come to pass that a man would declare to his Maker that he is unjust? Oh man - that would decree to thy God - and pass judgment on the Judge of judges - who are you to judge Me? Your tongue shall turn to dust and your hope shall fail you as your blood shall not sustain you in the day that I shall visit you.
It cannot be that a man would judge Me, yet you have only done as your father desires - for he too sought to judge Me - to sit upon My throne and declare himself wiser than I - this shall never happen again, as I live and breathe saith the Lord - this will be My final judgment - those who will rise and those who will fall, shall never be judged again - it is finished.

For every soul has been judged already - I know before it comes to pass - who shall die and who shall live and I say now to those who live - your life is a precious commodity, a thing unlike any other in all My creation - a reflection of My beauty in holiness that shall please Me forevermore.

Lord, in your eternal presence, time does not exist, earthly boundaries fade away, there are no limitations in You, Lord - anything is possible in Your presence.

Oh Lord, there's so many words in the world now - far more than there's ever been before. I only know one thing for sure - only your words are truth, for sure. And the abundance of the enemy's words - cannot drown out the voice of the blood of innocents crying out to You, oh Lord, from the ground and they shall not go unpunished who have slain My innocents, saith the Lord.

How often have I cried out to thee, oh My wayward son? How often have I patiently desired to redeem thee from the pit of destruction but you would not? How do I desire thee? As the deer pants for water, as the hawk searches for prey - diligently have I sought thee, yet, you would not....come out from your hiding place - though I shine as the noon day sun, you still choose darkness. What darkness is this that can stand the light of day! It is the darkness of a soul unclean, unredeemed and unclaimed.
Therefore says The Lord - I will give one more season of salt, one more season of sanctity - that those who choose to bow their hearts as well as heads may escape the wrath to come - for come it shall and all the enemy's plans shall burn up as a dry leaf - tinder for the wrath of My Spirit poured out upon the unjust and the unclean who dare to defile My bride.

As a banner I will unfurl my love and desire for you, my beloved and all the world will see who belongs to me and on that day the witnesses of our wedding will wish they were more than guests - they will behold the feast but not partake of it - they will know him whom they have missed, him whom they have dissed and him whom they have kissed, but as Judah kissed, not as my bride has kissed.
And they shall be rejected from Me as a bride disposes of her menstrual cloth - fit only to be destroyed, for they knew and did not know, they saw but did not see, they had opportunity after opportunity but did not forsake the calling the enemy put before them. His lure was pleasant for a season, and they chose him over me - to their eternal regret. 

 Life makes me ache  with a pain deep in my chest Though there's joy in the mourning   there's also a kind of helplessness   like I...
