Know Them By Their Fruit

Light the path of clarity and discernment

By Rowan Finley Published 3 years ago 1 min read

Know them by their fruit,

taste and see if they are true.

Do they look like wolves or sheep?

Do they command and demand?

Do you smell pride on their breath?

Do you shake in their presence?

Do they seek constant control?

Do they ask for your money non-stop?

Do you feel uneasy in their midst?

Do you see them as too good to be real?

Know them by their fruit,

taste and see if they are true.

This may take some time or it may be quick to tell,

for if they are false prophets, be quick, to them, expel.
