True or False?

Today I've been thinking about the realness of people and their beliefs or "actions". I went to youtube and was looking at a canadian evangelist by the name of Todd Bentley.
As I watched some of his "works" and diffferent things he said, it made me think "Is this guy the real deal?"

Then again in the back of my head I think that if you have to question whether someone is real or not, then they probably or most likely aren't. But then you wonder if it is just some kind of blindfold that you have over your eyes that could make you think he/she is a "false prophet".
How has the world become so corrupt that you have to analyze and research whether a person is really just out for himself and putting on a show or whether he really is what he says he is?

I mean if someone is that selfish to get money and glory by pretending to do miracles and such, then that is simply annoying!
Today, i have not still decided if this Bentley guy is legit or not.
But those "false prophets" that have been proven, you may ask "why are so many people going to these events and why are they believing everything he or she says?"

Ladies and Gentleman, i got the answer!
It's quite simple actually!
Everyone wants to believe there is a higher power. Everyone wants to see miraculous or amazing things happen. Everyone wants to believe that there is more to this world then the people that reside in it.
As human beings, we fall.
As individuals, we have a hunger for something bigger and better in our life.
These people (followers; we'll call them) just happen to be longing for that same thing.
They are so hungry for it that whenever they see a glimpse of something that is out of the ordinary, they run to it. They just happen to be running into something that holds lies and contempt.
Let me clear this up; not all evangelists are false i don't believe. However, there are liers, and people that twist things just so they can get the "good stuff". We gotta be aware of those kinds of people.

That is just my opinion. Feel free to have another one.

But basically i'm saying or more of questioning, since there are deceivers in the world, how can we be sure something is true? How can we be aware of what's going on around us if we aren't sure about who is living inside us? and How are we able to discern whether or not people like Todd Bentley are real in the heart and not just another person claiming they know it all?
Are they true or false?
