There’s no doubt about it: We are in the middle of an end times battle.
In an exclusive interview with Charisma Media, prophetic voice Amanda Grace shared key insights from her new book, The Revelationary War, and how we can test true versus false prophets.

One of the founding principles of Grace’s book is that Satan has been in a battle against God’s people from the very beginning of time, and we are still in this war. Just as Satan tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, he is still trying to tempt us into sin and away from the presence of a holy God.
“The enemy put forth an opposing revelation that included a temptation,” Grace says.
This battle has raged through history, culminating in God’s redemptive plan through Jesus Christ. Just as Genesis marks the beginning, Revelation declares the ultimate victory where the enemy is cast into the lake of fire. One of the ways Christians can be victorious right now in the middle of the struggle is by discerning true from false prophets.
“First of all, false prophets will lead people away from the Lord,” Grace says. “They will lead people into idolatry one way or another. A true prophet that holds the office knows their place, and it is far beneath almighty God.”
Grace firmly believes that a true prophet will not fill people’s hopes by pointing to mankind, but by directing them to the Lord. She also says true prophets will never give prophecies only after receiving payment for them, and their words will have depth.
“False prophecy is many times very superficial, very vague,” she says.
True prophets, as Grace mentions, know the Word of God, love and fear Him, and seek out His righteousness above all else. False prophets, on the other hand, care more about their own desires and success.
The call to spiritual discernment is not just for the prophets, but for all who follow Christ. As Amanda Grace emphasizes, true prophecy will always glorify God, never man, and never will be tainted by greed or manipulation. The body of Christ must rise in wisdom, testing every spirit and aligning every word with the unchanging truth of Scripture.
As we navigate these turbulent times, it is more crucial than ever to stand firm in God’s truth and sharpen our discernment. The enemy’s tactics have not changed—he continues to introduce deception and twist God’s Word to lead people astray. But just as the battle began in Genesis, Revelation assures us of the ultimate victory in Christ.
