“who foils the signs of false prophets and makes fools of diviners, who overthrows the learning of the wise and turns it into nonsense,”
Isaiah 44:25 (NIV)
Isaiah 44:25 (NIV)
Our Lord warns us in the Sermon on the Mount to watch out for false prophets.
We should watch out for them, and we should identify them but we shouldn’t fear them.
The LORD God is Sovereign over false prophets.
This is a mystery to us - we wonder why God allows false prophets among His people.
Why would God allow non-believers to infiltrate the church, and allow them to lead
many people into destruction?
many people into destruction?
Why would God allow someone to hold God’s holy Word in their hands, and twist the meaning of His holy Word as he speaks to God’s people?
I can’t give you chapter and verse as to WHY God allows this but I know it has to do
with testing our hearts.
with testing our hearts.
I trust God- I trust Him enough to believe that he has good purposes in mind by allowing these false prophets and false teachers to come among us.
Friends let us watch out for false prophets, they tell us we don’t need to worry about the narrow gate nor the straight path.
They speak words that seem like God’s but are designed to lead us away from God.
Don’t listen to them - test all teachers against the Word of God.
Know the Word!
