Bible Verse of The Day – 12-4-12

(2 Peter 2:1-2 NKJV)  But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. {2} And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.

False teachers. They are more numerous than we know.

Some are obvious to the wise and discerning, but others are smooth and subtle, blending into the body of Christ undetected, bring with them spirits of darkness, such as division, false teachings, idolatry and more.

Some will stand and preach what sounds like good words, encouraging people, even speaking of God, but watering down the truth until it is barely truth anymore.

Others will bring “new revelations” into the church, sharing with the body “what God has revealed to them”, capturing people’s attention.

Sadly, many of these “new revelations” are just old, pagan or outright demonic  teachings being brought into the church under the guise of being Biblical.

We need to be ever so vigilant today, discerning every little thing that comes our way, testing it and comparing it to God’s word. If it deviates from the foundations of truth laid out in the Bible, we need to turn and walk away from it.

We don’t have to go far to find any of these teachings. They’re everywhere; on TV, on the internet, in magazines and on the bookshelves of many stores. And they all carry the label of “Christian” on them.

Test the spirits. Look for the fruits. Seek God. He is faithful to show us if we’re faithful to ask Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-11-12

(Mat 7:15 NKJV)  “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

Sadly, there are very many self-proclaimed prophets in the world today who claim to bring you the words of God pertaining to your life. Be very careful who you choose to listen to and follow.

The words of so many of these “prophets” read like a biblical fortune teller, claiming to tell you what to expect in your life… what has happened and what is going to come your way.

Discern very carefully as they try to sell you their $25 books and $50 CD sets for you to hear “what God has to say to you in these end times”.

Weigh every single thing you hear, read and see against the true word of God. Let God show you who is legitimate and who is not.

The words of these wolves in sheep’s clothing are very dangerous and are spoken with only one goal in mind; to draw you into their den where you become their victim.

God is faithful to show us who is real and who is not, if we only ask Him to. Choose your spiritual food very carefully, people of God!
