False Prophets

Friday's Devotion (2-18-05)

"If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord." 1 Corinthians 14:37 (KJV)

I see a lot of people who act spiritual or say that they're prophets, but they don't teach us the same things that the Bible does. They teach against the scriptures, acting like they're teaching the scriptures or "new" words of God. Many people believe and follow these, "Prophets" This is a very dangerous situation we're facing. If you know the scriptures, then you'll be able to point out a false prophet from a mile away. That's the sad thing, the sad thing is that if people knew the Bible and knew God, then they wouldn't be being deceived millions at a time! I've ran into a few false prophets and false ministers. I've seen them on television, I've ran into them on the internet... some even came here to this site. You need to check yourself, are you in danger of deception? You are if you don't know the Bible! I can see some of you panicking now, "I don't know the Bible, what am I going to do?" What you're going to do is stop being spiritually lazy and you're going to start reading the Bible today! Stop putting it off!

Don't get me wrong, there are real prophets and there are real spiritual people. We just have to know which ones are which. A prophet's words or a spiritual person's words will not go against the words of the Bible! That is the first thing we must know. The second thing we need to know is that their lifestyle for the most part will not go against the Bible either. We have one prophesy ministry on our "Links" page. I actually enjoy reading the newsletter they send me and I haven't found anything wrong with them. I'll admit though, when I first met these people and we were going to exchange links, I was leery. I looked over their site good. I believe in being very careful about what I put in front of my viewers. I believe that this prophecy ministry is right on and I recommend our viewers to check them out. However, the strongest thing that I can recommend for you all is the Bible! That is what we all need.

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this message and for all things. Please forgive us of all our sins and we forgive all those who've wronged us. Help us to never be deceived, help us by helping us to know your Word! Help us to be right with you. In Jesus, name. A-men!

God bless!
