Acts 13:1-12

Paul and Barnabas were called by the Lord to set out on a missionary journey. They met a man named Sergius who wanted to hear the word of God. A false prophet, Elymas, was trying to lead him astray. Paul called him out as a fraud and through the power of the Holy Spirit, caused him to become blind. After seeing this power, Sergius believed all that Paul and Barnabas had told him about God.

Just as God does not take lightly when people try to take the glory that belongs to Him, He also does not like when people try to mislead others and turn them away from Him. False prophets will be dealt with by God in time, but in the meantime, they can cause a lot of destruction to those who believe what they say. Be careful who you listen to and be sure you don't fall for the lies of someone who only wants to lead you away from God. If someone you know is caught up in the lies of a false prophet, lovingly show them the truth and help them to avoid going down the wrong path.
