A counterfeit is a fraudulent imitation of something else; a forgery. Just as bank clerks and retail cashiers have to be trained to detect counterfeit bills, Gods children must be trained to discern counterfeit preachers and leaders in the Church. While revealing to His disciples the things that would take place in the timeframe leading to His return, Jesus said, "...false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect" (Matthew 24:24 NKJV)

We're seeing the enemy using sophisticated schemes to deceive people in this generation. It has become much harder to determine the truth from the lie, and true leaders from false leaders.

In this sermon, Pastor Conaway explains how we must be students of the word of God who are able to rightly divide the word and the necessity to be in lock-step with the Holy Spirit to recognize what's true and what's counterfeit. And as Solomon explained in Proverb 14:12, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death."
