👑 Scroll of the Crown: By Their Fruit

God has always given us a way to discern truth from deception.

Not everyone who smiles in your face carries light in their heart.

Not everyone who speaks His name is carrying His Spirit.

Jesus warned us plainly:

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:15–16).

That means their words are not the proof.

Their following is not the proof.

Their appearance is not the proof.

The proof is in the fruit.

What comes out of their life? What trails behind their leadership?

Do they leave people healed or harmed? Built or broken? Free or bound?

A good tree cannot bear corrupt fruit.

And a corrupt tree cannot bear good fruit.

The Kingdom is clear: you will always know by what grows.

🔑 Crown Mirror Reflection

1. Who am I listening to more than I’m listening to God?

2. What fruit do their words and actions actually produce in my life?

3. Am I discerning by Spirit, or just by charisma and appearance?

4. What fruit is growing from my own tree?

🌿 The King’s Edge Practice

• Test the Fruit: Before you trust a voice, trace the fruit it produces. Does it lead you closer to Christ or further from Him?

• Guard Your Soil: Not every word should be planted in your spirit. Some seeds look harmless, but they grow into weeds that choke the harvest.

• Bear Good Fruit: Remember, others are watching your tree too. Let your words, actions, and posture testify of the Spirit that lives in you.

🌌 Final Reflection

I used to let anyone with a loud voice plant in my soil. I followed charisma, not character. I listened to eloquence instead of examining fruit. And it left me confused, wounded, and far from peace.

But God woke me up. He showed me that fruit doesn’t lie. That what looks holy can still be hollow, and what sounds right can still be rotten.

Now, I don’t chase the voice that shines the brightest. I follow the fruit that lasts the longest. I don’t just ask, “Do they sound like God?” I ask, “Does their fruit look like Him?”

Because a King who knows the weight of his crown cannot afford to eat from a tree that poisons his soul.

✨ Final Whisper

Not every voice is from the Shepherd. Test the fruit. Guard your soil. And never forget, what is real will always bear what is righteous.
