BEWARE FALSE PROPHETS AND DOCTRINES OF DEVILS

CONTROL..maintain influence or authority over, the power to influence or direct a persons behaviour or the course of events in their lives, the restriction of activity, the power to restrain something especially ones emotions or actions...

DO NOT QUICKLY COME UNDER THE CONTROL OF MAN UNDER THE QUISE OF COUNSELING, TEACHING, PREACHING OR "OUR BEST INTEREST." MAN IS MAN AND GOD IS GOD. Too many Christians claim to have all the answers for peoples lives and they are not speaking with a heart of God or for God. Too many are prophesying and saying "Thus saith the Lord" and "The Lord said" when in reality a small number of these "sayings" actually come to pass. BE ON YOUR SPIRITUAL GUARD AGAINST FALSE PROPHETS, TEACHERS AND LEADERS (Ephesians 6). Their numbers are growing rapidly in these last days. They are hard to pick out but by the Spirit of God. They look good on the outside like the scribes and Pharisees but are dead inside with hearts serving Satan and not God (Matthew 24:4, 1 John 4:1) They are here to deceive, to rob, kill and destroy us.

"The thief cometh not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10

"Woe unto you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye a like unto whitewashed sepulchres which indeed appear beautiful outward but are within full of dead mens bones and of all uncleanness." Matthew 23:27

"This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth and honoureth me with their lips but their heart is far from me." Matthew 15:8

"Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves." Matthew 7:15

Our first and best and most perfect and excellent word comes from God and God alone. A man or woman of God will hear with the heart of God the heart of a matter, and respond always with the word of God for our life, not their opinion. Where God speaks we speak and where God is silent we are silent and if we do not know, we say so and pray. If the words of advise of a leader, counselor, trusted brother or sister, whoever, do not lead us to the word of God for our life, then we run fast as we can away from them. They do not have God's heart and will lead us astray. Their eternity is not our eternity (Matthew 18:6) .

"Wherefore my beloved brethren let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God." James 1:19-20

"Even so the tongue is a little member and boasteth great things. Behold how great a matter a little fire kindleth." James 3:5

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and he shall direct your paths." Proverbs 5:5-6

If we are seeking God for ALL things in our life from the smallest to the greatest need and circumstance, then we will be walking in His presence and his joy and peace. We will hear the voice of God and he will hear ours. We can discern when a teacher is leading us astray because the Holy Spirit of God will tell us.

Jesus himself said: All truth comes from God.

"Howbeit when he the Spirit of truth is come he will guide you into all truth for he shall not speak of himself but whatsoever he shall hear that shall he speak and he will shew you things to come." John 16:13

WHERE GOD SPEAKS, THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD WILL SPEAK TO US AND THAT IS ALL WE SHALL SPEAK TO THOSE IN OUR CHARGE...WHERE GOD IS SILENT WE ARE SILENT.

God is in complete and ultimate control of all things and the center of every Christian life. Believe that, believe the word of God for your life and pray, pray, pray, then pray some more...amen.
