False Prophet Warning

Jeremiah 23:24-26

Can you hide somewhere God can not find?
If you do then you must think God is blind;
As prophets say prophesy lies in His name,
As well as dreaming of the eternal flame;
How long will prophets say prophesy lies?
Even though their deceitful heart denies.
Beware of false prophets that try to hide,
Behind false testimony that will misguide;
No matter which way being everywhere,
With their false doctrines in hand to share;
Desire to sway you off the righteous road,
In promises of a future reducing your load;
Remember that they can not hide from God,
And to assist you in seeing who is a fraud;
When you are willingly seeking for the Lord,
He'll joyously return a favor with a reward;
Your faith will give you comfort and peace,
New insight and wisdom that will not cease;
Assisting you to see through their shield,
Allowing for their deception to be revealed.
