@sinbach If you open your mouth on behalf of God, you better be sure they are His words because He doesn’t take that lightly. That said, I don’t think most false prophets have bad intentions. I think most want to be special to the point that they deceive themselves into believing they heard something that they didn’t. If you are guilty of this sin, go back to the basics of your faith and start again. Talk to your church elders about how to know if something is from the Lord.
