        I had a swarm of critics come today, it just ticks them off that I have such confidence when they do not see me bringing down fire from heaven...they are as so many wanting signs for proof, so let's have a little study; let's start here:

        ¹⁵Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. ¹⁶By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? ¹⁷Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. ¹⁸A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. ¹⁹Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. ²⁰Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them. ²¹Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven. ²²Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? ²³And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.  Mt.7.15-23

        Jesus is going to tell us how to discern false propets, then in verse says has many will come to him telling him that they worked miracles, and cast out demons, and prophesied, but Jesus answers, 'I never knew you, depart from me, you that work iniquity.'   He did not give them one bit of credit for working all those signs and miracles, then we go here:  

           ³³Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit. ³⁴Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. ³⁵The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. ³⁶And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. ³⁷For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.  
(Mt.12.33ff) 

        You see, working signs and miracles does not prove ANYTHING; it is what comes out of your mouth that matters...so you critics, find something I have said that is in error if you want proof that I am not Elijah.
