Jeremiah 29:9 “For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.”
Jesus reminds His people to recognize that these false teachers and preachers are lying to them! Jesus has not sent them, while they proclaim that they are being led by God. They insist that they know the Lord is leading them, and that we should listen to them.
Yet all of this was wrong and they were being used by the devil to lead us astray! This is a continual temptation and distraction. We are to expect it and plan for it. The only way to defend ourselves, is to store up all the words of God in our own hearts and minds, and compare those words to the words of these so-called preachers and teachers. Line upon line, precept upon precept. Amen?
How many words from God’s true prophets do we need to read and study? Whenever you meet someone who tells you what God says in His word, you should ask if they have read all of God’s words? If they haven’t, how would they know if their “impressions” are comparable? As a matter of fact, if they have not been reading all of God’s words, why would we listen to any of them?
That should be a litmus test to any preacher or teacher! Amen? Then we have to apply this to our own lives and impressions or dreams. Have we been given a dream, or a vision from God? How can we now if this was from Him or from ourselves? Apply that to the words we have been reading or studying.
And how many words should we be reading and learning for ourselves? The same standard for those preachers and teachers too! Amen? In other words, you have to be extremely careful with new “light” that we have been presented with. Whether it is from others or ourselves.
The devil tries to mislead us all day long. He never quits. He never gives up. He never uses the same temptations. If this doesn’t work, he goes for something else.
Remember, it is a war! And with a war, we have to be trained to fight! Amen? What is our weapon? The sword of the Spirit! The words of God! Then who will win this war? The one who has more weapons. Amen? Who do you want with you when you are fighting this war? The one who has all the armament possible, right? Do you want someone who only has a few bullets? He would lose! Do you want a loser by your side? Or worse, a loser who is leading you?
Doesn’t this make sense? Now consider were are fighting the final battle at the end times. Satan will be doing all he can to deceive and to destroy us. Now you have a choice as to whom you want to listen to, or depend upon.
When you go to church to be told what God is saying to them, to give you information. What would be your determination, as to whom you will listen to? How tall they are, or how kind looking, or where they went to school, or what others are listening to them? The devil has all of that, and more! The only way to know for sure, is if they are continually quoting the Bible and SOP! But how will we know that, until we are aware of those words ourselves? Amen? If we have not time, to read all of those books, then what should we do? Find someone who has, and ask them! They already have plenty of “bullets” and they can help you!
However, do not depend upon anyone but God Himself! Don’t quit reading, thinking you can just trust someone else. Absolutely not! Keep reading, and amassing all the “bullets” you can! Remember the devil is also trying to get you to dream and have your own visions!
And though you don’t always have someone with you who knows all of God’s words, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and Their holy angels, are right beside you. Hallelujah! The more words you store up, and are aware of, the more words they can bring back to Your mind! When you are getting these impressions or thoughts, you have all these words to compare with. They will remind you, impress you, and suggest these words that you have already read and learned, and those will guide you!
Jesus is warning all of us who are reading and listening. Now we know how to be prepared, amen?
