One of Satan’s strategies in this end time is to discredit Jesus because the more Christ is misrepresented, the more unbelievers become confused about His true nature.
And this is one of the reasons many people do not come to God—they simply do not know who He really is.
I believe that when people truly know Him, when their eyes are opened to the authentic nature and character of God, they cannot help but fall in love with Him.
The devil understands this, which is why he works tirelessly to discredit Jesus and the Church—often through people who claim to be Christians, pastors, or bishops, yet live lifestyles that are completely contrary to what Christ teaches in the Bible.
Do not make any man of God your role model unless he is living as Christ instructs.
Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11:1, “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.”
In other words, what qualified Paul to be followed was his obedience to Christ.
If any pastor or bishop is not following Christ, do not listen to them. Walk away. You should only imitate leaders insofar as they are imitating Christ.
Jesus Himself said, “By their fruit you will know them” (Matthew 7:16)—not by their gifts.
Forget how much of the Bible they can quote, their eloquence, their charisma, how large their church is, or how many followers they have online. Forget the prophecies and the miracles.
Forget ALL of that.
Look at one thing: their fruit.
What do you see?
What kind of life do they live?
Does it align with God’s Word?
Are they walking in obedience to the God they claim to serve?
Can you look at them and honestly say, “This is what Jesus would do”?
