It is time to do your Research!
“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist,” 2 John 7.
“For those who have followed Me in this hour, I say that it is time to do your research. For there are many deceivers in the world.
Many claim to know me, and yet some of their teachings betray sound doctrine. These are those who come clothed in the garb of humility but they elevate themselves as having known me. These are those who set dates. These are those who have twisted scripture to meet their own means. These are those who are a “book” unto themselves.
I have said that you would know them by their fruits; but sometimes the fruit is not readily seen. At first it would appear to be gentle and kind, but if one would probe deeper, they would see disease there.
For the disease first came when they announced their greatness. They decided that they were among the greatest in the world; and yet to be great, I called you to serve others. And yet, some would even say that they serve others, but their service is in deluded speech.
Know My word, my children. Study it and be a scholar of it. And know Me above all else. For then when the deceivers come, you will know how to discern truth from falsehood.”

Stephen Hanson of In His Truth Ministries came to the Lord is a special way in 1975 and has been prophesying regularly since. In these end-time birthing pangs we are to be reminded that judgment must first begin with the household of God. Will we be prepared and ready?
2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2Ti 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
2Ti 2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
2Ti 2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
2 Timothy 2:15-18 KJV
My husband & I just ran into one like this. How do we deal with him in the right way?
