I did not send these prophets-says God.

"I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message. I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied.

"But if they had stood in my council, they would have proclaimed my words to my people and would have turned them from their evil ways and from their evil deeds.

"Am I only a God nearby-declares the Lord? And not a God faraway?

Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see Him declares the Lord.

"Do I not fill heaven and earth? Declares the Lord.

I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name. 

They say, "I had a dream! I had a dream!

How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions of their own minds? They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget my name, just as their fathers forgot my name through Baal worship.

Let the prophet who has a dream tell his dream but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully.

"For what has straw to do with grain?"

"Is not my word like fire, declares the Lord and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?"

 I love this verse because it transcends all time- though thousands of years ago when this scribe wrote down the heart and mind of God on paper- this next verse expresses the very concerns today, of those who steal and plagiarize thoughts that are not their own as if they were. Not from a place of honesty and truth but from a place of deception and theft- not acknowledging its truth source as God or the creator of the content.

"Therefore, declares the Lord, "I am against the prophets who steal from one another, words supposedly from me."

This is how we see on YouTube countless preachers who have the same titled videos, because they copy from others their message but it's not a message from God to them. Rather these preachers have people who visit people's sites to steal their material and use it as topics for their sermons and even not considering bothering to call the person they took copy write material from. If it's a problem with God than Christian should not steal from other Christians but go to God alone for a timely message. If we will not help and support each other than we certainly should not steal from each other.
