By Their Fruits We Shall Know Them!

a)  Matthew 7:15. Beware of false prophets, they come to us in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravening wolves.

d)  Matthew 7:17. Every corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.
e)  Matthew 7:18.  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit.

g)  Matthew 7:19. Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire.

(This QT reminds me that By Their Fruits I Shall Know Them)

'Time To Pray.'
Luke 6:12.
a)  This was a specific time. 
b)  Jesus went out on to the mountain to pray. 
c)  He continued all night in prayer to God. 
(This Second one shows me that Jesus knew the Time To Pray)

Chris.
By their fruits we shall know them. We are clearly taught by Jesus that we can tell who are the true or false prophets by their fruits. This is not judging the person first, it is judging the fruits of a person's ministry. The Gift of prophecy in its simplest form is for edification, exhortation and comfort. It is 'forth telling' rather than foretelling.
