Bible Verse of The Day – 2-23-22

Jeremiah 23:25-26 (NKJV) 25 “I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in My name, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’ 26 How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Indeed they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart…

I’ve recently been working my way through the book of Jeremiah again. Jeremiah is a fascinating book that continues to teach me new things every time I read through it.

Last week I began to notice a common thread in many of the things that God spoke to Jeremiah regarding prophets. And what He said hit home, reminding me of many of the things we are seeing today.

As we have watched current events unfold over the last two years, I have also seen a marked increase in many so-called prophets of God who have prophesied many things that have proven not to be true.

They have spoken what people wanted to hear, not what the Spirit of God was saying. They have spoken of dreams and visions, but those have all proven to be false.

Yet, in all of these false “words from God”, these pretend prophets have gathered unto themselves hundreds of thousands, or perhaps even millions, of people who follow them and hang on their every (false) word.

It would behoove the body of Christ to pay close attention to the Spirit of God. He is more than willing to show us what is true and what is false. And it’s safe to say that He is actively doing so each day.

We just have to be willing to hear Him.

Please don’t misconstrue this as a condemnation of every person who claims to speak prophetically. It is not meant to be that.

What it is meant to be is a warning, a gentle nudge for the body of Christ, that we may all be awake and alert in these important times in which we live.

If there are words that we are hanging on each day, they should be the words that God has given us; The Word of God. Not something uttered from the mouths of modern-day fortune tellers, many of whom are nothing more than wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Test the spirits. God is faithful to show us what is real and what is not.

1 John 4:1 (NKJV) 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
