From John Collins Ministries:
“I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in My name, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’ How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Indeed they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart, who try to make My people forget My name by their dreams which everyone tells his neighbor as their fathers forget My name for Baal. The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; And he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully. ‘What is the chaff to the wheat?’ says the Lord. ‘Is not My word like a fire?’ says the Lord, ‘And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?’ Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, says the Lord, who steal My words every one from his neighbor. Behold, I am against the prophets, says the Lord, who use their tongues and say, ‘He says.’ Behold, I am against those who prophesy false dreams, says the Lord, and tell them, and cause My people to err by their lies and by their recklessness. Yet, I did not send them or command them; therefore they shall not profit this people at all, says the Lord.” Jeremiah 23:25-32 (NKJV).
There have been churches built on the
lies of a ‘prophet’,
there have been millions
and millions
of dollars collected on the basis
of the lies of a ‘prophet’
and it has become nothing
for people to say
that God is giving them dreams and telling them
this or that and that this person or that is a
prophet to the Lord and is anointed.
There is a higher
price to pay for deceiving
people in the name of the Lord but the most awful price is paid by the one who
is convinced
by the deceiver.
God is not unable to make His will known to all. God is not without the power
to make sure that His message is received and it is unmistakable. God’s voice
thundered from heaven
when Jesus was baptized.
The magnitude of the miracles that we done by Jesus and in the name of Jesus
was not questionable. When God
wants you to know something, He is not subtle.
Many a foolish person
has been taken in by a Bible
scholar who can spin the scriptures to delight the listener
and convince them of the authority of the
speaker. Do not be fooled by
clever orators who eventually base
their ‘church’
on themselves and demand your pocketbook
and your complete devotion while claiming to have visions
from God and instructions
from God.
Get a Bible for under 10 dollars and read it. Then read it
again and again. It will help you to have the ability to rightly discern the
crackpot churches that have been around for centuries and it will help you tune
out the nonsense that so many are tossing around these days.
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness.” 2 Timothy 15-16 (NKJV).
