Signs Pt. 19 - BEWARE! Yes, again.


Mat 4:23  Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
Mat 24:24  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Mat 24:25  Behold, I have told you before.
Mat 24:26  Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
Mat 24:27  For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:28  For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.


Mar 13:21  And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
Mar 13:22  For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
Mar 13:23  But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

*******
Mat_7:15  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves

2Pe_2:1  But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

1Jn_4:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Rev_16:13  And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

Rev_19:20  And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Rev_20:10  And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

We are being told to BEWARE of FALSE PROPHETS.

BEWARE!

If you see that BEWARE sign it's telling you something important, yes? It means you are taking a risk if you aren't cautious.

We aren't left to be deceived. Christ our Savior is more than open with us about the evil in our world. He wants us to BEWARE of false prophets. He KNOWS that false prophets will be the destruction of many people. False prophets are going to lead many people away from salvation, and you know what, those people will not even know it.  It sounds hopeless but the truth is, those people are CHOOSING to be led astray, to be deceived. The choice they make is to NOT to TRY the SPIRITS.

We are NOT to believe every spirit but TRY the spirits.

Why are we trying the spirits?  To see whether or not they are OF GOD.

We are to TEST the spirits, we are to PROVE the spirits.

Try-
- Transliteration: Dokimazo
- Phonetic: dok-im-ad'-zo
- Definition:
1. to test, examine, prove, scrutinise (to see whether a thing is genuine or not), as metals
2. to recognise as genuine after examination, to approve, deem worthy

How many people TEST, EXAMINE, PROVE, SCRUTINISE those who are teaching them from the Word of God?

Seriously.  We are so quick to just believe.  In fact somehow we are made to feel as if we are being difficult if we dare to question the 'leaders', the 'teachers', the 'prophets'.  We are given the impression that we are NOT using faith by simply believing.  We are nitpicking, we are missing the point, we are off base- sometimes way off base if we dare to stand upon a single principle while ignoring all the other principles that fit perfectly.

Isn't that what deception is all about?  Getting someone in by making everything above board but a few minor details.  Those details that are presumed to be so minor they don't matter, but it's those details that will destroy everything!  That is deception. 

When we are dealing with God's truth, we have to believe in ALL HIS TRUTH. We cannot afford to take one thing out! If we let ONE thing slide then we are LOST! LOST! DECEIVED!

We MUST beware of false prophets who will deceive all by the very elect!

We must not believe every wind of doctrine.

Eph_4:14  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive

We need to STUDY!

2Ti_3:16  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness

Isa 8:20  To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

*******

Mat 4:23  Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
Mat 24:24  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Mat 24:25  Behold, I have told you before.
Mat 24:26  Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
Mat 24:27  For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:28  For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.


Mar 13:21  And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
Mar 13:22  For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
Mar 13:23  But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

AS lightning coming out of the east and shining all the way to the west-  this is how amazing, how visible, how powerful the coming of our LORD will be!  

Yet there are so many who would have people believe that our Savior's return will be marked by a hidden call that zaps away people and suddenly people are gone. They are WRONG! They've taken a simple parable and twisted it so they can DECEIVE! Satan's DECEPTION!  The deceivers are deceived!

Our Savior's return will be very visible!

EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM!  How? I don't know, but I know with God all things are possible!

There is so much truth that has been covered thick in deception, hiding it from view and millions, billions, will be deceived!

Everything that is said- STUDY!
Everything you believe- HAVE BIBLCIAL EXEGEITCAL PROOF!

Don't let yourself get all caught up in the 'FEEL GOOD' religion.  It feels good, it sounds right, it's all about love but excludes the GOD who is LOVE and in LOVE created His MORAL COMMANDMENTS, telling us our SINNING ALL stems from the breaking of that moral law!

Do NOT get caught up in that! PRAY! PRAY for enlightenment!

PRAY for TRUTH!

Please LORD, in YOUR LOVE, YOUR AMAZING LOVE!
