It is important to note that attractive leaders are not always led by God. New ideas or revelations from inspiring people may sound good, but we must judge them whether or not they are consistent with God’s Word. When people claim to speak for God, check them on these areas:
1. Are they telling the truth?
2. Is their focus on God?
3. Are their words consistent with what you already know to be true?
Some people speak the truth while directing you to God, but others speak persuasively while directing you to themselves. it is even possible to say the right words and still lead people in the wrong direction. God is not against new ideas, but He is for discernment. When one hears of a new idea/revelation, he or she shd examine it carefully before getting so excited; for false prophets are still around.
