Lying Prophets-
I was alarmed to read in Jeremiah 23 of the practices of prophets who speak as if representing God but are not.
I thought about this and pondered that I hope this does not include me. As a writer and child of God- I do not want God to be displeased with me and how I minister His word.
In these ends times as its written in the word- all people will prophesy. And this is wonderful. But in what Spirit we prophesy matters greatly, and this is what this blog is about.
It is about prophets who follow an evil course and use their power of influence unjustly. Where priest and prophet are godless- declares the Lord in verse 11 of Jerimiah Chapter 23.
God states that their path will become slippery, and they will be banished to darkness and disaster will befall them.
This chapter brought out the truth of Gods heart, and uncanny realities of our societies similar to those of thousands of years ago. Deception has no time frame.
This is what the Lord says about lying prophets.
"I will make them eat bitter food and drink poisoned water"
Because their ways have spread throughout the land.
God writes a warning statement that "Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hope. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord.
They keep saying to those who despise me-"The Lord says- "You will have peace, and to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts they say, " No harm will come to you." God says this is not the way things work with Him.
God asks " But which of them has stood in the council of the Lord to see or to hear His word- see the storms of the Lord will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down on the heads of the wicked. The anger of the Lord will not turn back until He fully accomplishes the purposes of His heart in days to come you will understand it clearly.
With the advent of Facebook and YouTube and all social media platforms there is unprecedented material that does not hold God thoughts in its message. God is saying beware of those who pretend to know me- but who are far from me.
The message is clear- to know God and His thought toward you- you must come to Him as you would to someone you love- in person, in truth, in love and in willingness to understand and learn from the One True God who made you and has things to share with you. Don't go for counterfeit - go to the Source of all truth today. Read the Bible and ask God to give you revelation for your life and occasionally watch a video from a godly Spirit led voice.
