Discernment is not optional for believers. It is not a spiritual gift reserved for scholars or pastors, and it is not a skill meant only for times of crisis. Discernment is a biblical command. Scripture assumes that false prophets will exist, that they will be persuasive, and that many will follow them. The responsibility to recognize deception does not rest solely on church leaders. It rests on every believer.

The modern Christian landscape makes this responsibility even more urgent. Never before have so many voices claimed spiritual authority. Sermons, prophecies, visions, podcasts, livestreams, books, and social media posts compete daily for attention. Many of these voices speak confidently in God’s name. Some are sincere. Some are mistaken. Others are deliberately misleading.

Scripture does not tell believers to assume the best and hope for the truth. It tells them to test, examine, and discern. This article is a sober, practical guide to developing that discernment so false prophets can be recognized before damage is done.
