This session equips participants to discern the difference between authentic prophetic ministry and false or unhealthy expressions. Drawing on both Old and New Testament examples, the teaching explores signs of counterfeit prophecy including speaking from one’s own imagination, telling people only what they want to hear, covering over sin, greed, sensuality, and lives that bear poor spiritual fruit. Participants learn to become fruit inspectors who recognize maturity, integrity, and accountability as marks of true prophetic activity.
