Fake Christians: The True Power Behind False Prophets

Do you know where false prophets, pastors, apostles, teachers, and evangelists get their power from?

It’s not from heaven.

It comes from fake Christians.

Yes—those who claim to follow Christ, but whose hearts are far from Him. They’re the ones keeping false ministries alive.

Who Are Fake Christians?

Fake Christians are those who:

• Carry Christian names,

• Belong to Christian denominations,

• Attend church services,

• Publicly confess Christ…

…yet their hearts are not set on eternal life, but on earthly pleasures.

Jesus described them this way:

“These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.”
— Matthew 15:8 (NKJV)

Their prayers are focused only on material things—cars, houses, jobs, money.
Their attendance in church is often for personal gain—relationships, business, or recognition.
Their giving is transactional—so they can “receive back” a hundredfold in cash.

But how many pray, fast, or give just to become more holy?
How many cry out to God, “Lord, change me—cleanse me—fill me with Your Spirit!”?

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.”
— Matthew 5:6 (NKJV)

Sadly, fake Christians don’t hunger for righteousness. They hunger for wealth. And because of that, they become the fuel behind false prophets.

The True Clients of False Prophets

False prophets thrive because there’s a market for deception. And fake Christians are the primary customers.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers.”
— 2 Timothy 4:3 (NKJV)

If fake Christians didn’t exist, false prophets would have no platform. No influence. No audience. But because people crave comfort over conviction, and wealth over wisdom, false teachers multiply.

They preach “breakthrough,” “financial release,” and “miracle promotions”—and people flock to hear them.

Why? Because:

“They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.”
— Titus 1:16 (NKJV)

False prophets grow richer, not because of God’s blessing—but because fake Christians finance them. They give, hoping to buy blessings. They sow “seeds” looking for cars, houses, and visas.

What Changed from the Past?

False prophets existed in Bible times too:

“But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you…”
— 2 Peter 2:1 (NKJV)

But what kept them in check?

In the past, the Church was full of spiritually mature believers. People who valued holiness, not hype. Saints who came to church to fast and pray, to be transformed, not entertained.

If someone announced a “special service for financial miracles,” few would show up. But if it was a night of repentance or a Holy Ghost service, the room would be packed.

That’s because Christians then understood this truth:

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
— Matthew 6:33 (NKJV)

Today, it’s the opposite. People chase material things first, and God last—if at all.

This Is Why False Prophets Are Flourishing

It’s not that they’ve become more powerful—it’s that fake Christians have become more plentiful.

False teachers are simply capitalizing on the desires of people who are looking for a god who serves them—not the other way around.

“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.”
— 2 Corinthians 11:13–14 (NKJV)

It’s harvest season for them—because the soil of many hearts has become worldly, selfish, and blind.

So, What Kind of Christian Are You?

Are you seeking God to:

• Build a house?

• Drive a car?

• Get promoted?

None of these things are wrong in themselves. But when they become your main pursuit, they become idols.

“Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.”
— 1 John 5:21 (NKJV)

Today, cars have become gods. Houses have become status. Money is worshipped. Gospel songs are full of prosperity themes. And sermons often sound more like motivational speeches than calls to repentance.

Reject the Spirit of Fake Christianity

Because it is not from Christ.
It is the spirit of the world—the same spirit that Satan uses to keep people spiritually dead while thinking they’re alive.

Jesus warned:

“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?”
— Mark 8:36 (NKJV)

The true fruit of a Spirit-led life isn’t wealth. It’s character, holiness, and spiritual maturity.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.”
— Galatians 5:22–23 (NKJV)

Ask Yourself Honestly:

When was the last time you:

• Fasted simply to grow closer to God?

• Gave an offering just to honor Him, not to “get something”?

• Prayed that God would remove sin from your life, not just problems?

If you’ve never done that—or if you rarely do—then it’s time to examine your faith.

“Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? — unless indeed you are disqualified.”
— 2 Corinthians 13:5 (NKJV)

Come Out from Among Them

Leave behind fake Christianity.
Stop playing religious games.
Return to the true pursuit of Christ.
Be part of the true Bride of Christ, holy and prepared for His return.

“And the Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come!’ And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.”
— Revelation 22:17 (NKJV)

May the Lord bless you and lead you into all truth.
