Well, I don't know if you have met one yet, but there are a lot of people out there calling themselves prophets. Unfortunately, they are not like Pinocchio, when they lie their noses don't grow. In the book of Jeremiah, there were many false prophets saying "Peace, peace..." when there was no peace coming, only a terrible war and slavery. Of course as you might have guessed, the people chose to obey and listen to the false prophets because it made them happy.
Jeremiah said, "A horrible and shocking thing has happened in the land, the prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will they do in the end?" Jer. 5:30
People come to meetings to hear the Word of the Lord. Rightly so, for the land is in all kinds of trouble within and without, from terrorism, and natural disaster. When they come to repent and return to God, an act that would heal the land and bless the nation, they are met by preachers that discourage true repentance and instead preach on more money, more power, and more people in church. How can we be saved?
Lately you may have noticed that our money is getting funny, the economy is crashing against the mountains of debt. This is touching our greatest idol, our money god. As our money god crumbles, people check themselves for what is stable, what is solid, what won't slip away...the question is, will they find the true God before it is too late?
You may have heard of the ship of fools, that sailed away upon a cruel sea. Why did those fools set sail, they were warned but ignored the Word of God and set their course for a long and exhausting disaster.
The word "repent" only means to "return". Return to God and God will return to you. If you don't return, if you don't repent, then what hope do you have?
Despite the call to repent, to return to God, people continue to trust in their prosperity, they trust in things, they trust in what they know, they worship careers, jobs, savings plans, they trust in everything but God. However, a time is soon coming when they will need to know how to trust God. Because the money idol will fail them. What are you trusting?
A great many people have put their trust in God and come into the churches of the land. However people are like sheep, and are easily led astray and easily preyed upon by wicked men. This is no where more common than in the churches of the land, where many wolves preach from "their" pulpits and the sheep are led astray.
Are you really trusting in God and following God? Or are you trusting in men that say they are following God? Have you read your bible this week, this month, this year?
There comes a time when the Lord has had enough monkey business and deals with the problem. I would not want to be around when the ax is laid to the root. Remember, return to God and He will return to you. Repent. Let your heart be broken, shed tears for your sins. But to do so you must first believe you are a sinner. Most people think they are okay, few people ever repent. The preachers don't preach it because the people get offended and leave, people like their sin, they want to keep it.
They preach another gospel, not the true gospel. They preach happy sermons that don't offend anyone, they preach comforting words, they preach about how much Jesus loves you.
Jesus died for you. He did all He could do for you when He was crucified on that cross. If you reject that, if you won't truly repent, if you choose to keep your sin, to worship your gods of finance and romance, you are rejecting Jesus' love. You have blown your chance at heaven. You will burn in eternal hell, and don't let a false preacher tell you otherwise. REPENT! Do not reject Jesus. Return to God and He will return to you. Otherwise, prepare to meet thy God!
If you are trusting in your nest egg you are in for a rude awakening. When God brought judgment on Egypt, the plagues grew worse and worse, eventually they lost all their wealth.
The Israelites went free and took the wealth of Egypt with them, later they melted the wealth of Egypt into a golden calf and worshipped their wealth too. It did not turn out well for them either. Don't trust in deceitful riches, and don't worship the money!
Not every spirit is of God, but at many revivals people welcome all sorts of stuff and seemingly have no discernment. Pray for discernment and test the spirits to see whether they be of God.
People are in love with themselves and their money, how will they ever get into heaven?
Ezekiel speaks of the false prophets and their flimsy whitewashed wall that will surely fall. Have you been told to trust in a house of cards by some so called prophets? Pinocchio prophets and their ear tickling words, their house will surely fall. Don't trust in them.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
Put on the full armor of God and stand firm!
You may find yourself very alone. But don't worry, if God be for you He is more than the world against you. Be sure you are following the Holy Spirit. The modern church has a lot of witchcraft and new age spiritual stuff trying to pretend to be from God. Know the difference.
All these wolves wear sheep's clothing, all these demons masquerade as angels of light like their father the devil. Please study your bible and pray, not every gospel is the true gospel!
The good things of God hook men and pull them into the kingdom of heaven. We are to be fishers of men, go out into the world and preach the gospel, heal the sick, drive out demons in Jesus name, do the work God has called you to. Preach Jesus crucified and risen again.
Some of these other gospels are not setting people free. Some gospels are being preached out of evil motives. Beware the scribes and pharisees!
You might look like a fool but don't be a fool, preach the gospel!
Prepare ye the way of the Lord! Repent!
Once again, there is a shaking coming, and its not going to be pretty....
Their noses really don't grow, you will have to know by discernment.
Get wisdom! Who nose? God knows!
When you are swallowed up inside the whale, read Jonah.
What are you chasing in life?
I am not against all you care about dearly, but you should be trusting in God above all else. If you are trusting in your works and what you can do, you might end up a fried chicken.
A real prophet will preach repentance and might just burn up all your chaff. John the baptist preached repentance.
