False Prophets

This morning I was looking at a local ministries facebook page and they are now promoting worldly philosophy and using quotes of men and the world. These are good people and they mean good but they are blindly being led by Satan and think it is of the Holy Spirit.

Worldly philosophy cannot and will not bring salvation to anyone.

People, please, be aware we are in the last days and Satan is using every trick in the book to blindly lead you down the wrong path. Just because it looks good through the natural eyes and feels good to the flesh, or it sounds good and pleasing to the natural ears does not mean it is of the Lord.

Anything, or any other message being taught, other than, The Message of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified, and Jesus being the source of your Salvation, your Sanctification and JESUS being the only source that meets your every need it is a lie and it will fail.

Please, I plead with you, please, don't fall for the lies. Test the spirits for yourself like the word of God tells you to.

Again, I plead with you,don't fall for the lies being taught by the modern church of today.

I know that some of you think I am crazy and that is ok. I was prophesied to by the Lord (through Pamela Shortt and it was confirmed through Donna Lowe.)

He said, that, He was going to give me a message, and it would be rejected at first, but, I am to deliver it anyway and so that is what I am doing.

Their are some whom I love dearly, that feel I have attacked them and come against them on a personal level and for that I apologize. I do have to deliver this message that God has assigned to me.

When the Lord, first started giving this to me I came across as of being harsh and condemning because, I didn't know how to express what I was trying to say. It was also Satan beginning his attack on me to try to discourage me, so I wouldn't do what the Lord wants me to do, and he almost won.

But, Thank God, if I learned nothing else at From Behind The Veil Ministries, I learned to stand firm and wait on the Lord. Hardheaded yes, and not always wanting to hear what the Lord had to say, or moving when He said to move, or speak when He said to speak, but I stood spiritually. I knew, there is, no going back because the Lord, has brought me through so much and this old world has nothing offer but deceit and death.

Satan has come up against me from all directions sense God has directed me to The Message Of The Cross. He has tried to use every trick in the book to get me to doubt my salvation.

He has tried to play with my mind, he has attacked my finances, he has attacked me on my job, he has tried to come between me and my friends and my family and it may look as if it has worked in the natural realm.

But I serve a God that says other wise. In time it will all come back together. Because I serve a God of restoration. I serve an on time God, who when it looks like there is no hope shows up on the scene and makes it right.

When you get your hunger for "The Message of The Cross" and you start seeking after it and you start applying it to your life, you will then know what I am talking about. Satan, will come at you like he has never before come at you, because, he does not want you to know the truth.

I thank, God, that He, has and is continuing to open my spiritual eyes, and my spiritual ears, to be able to hear and see all the deceitfulness that is being taught in the modern church of today.

I have put, and I am keeping my total and complete faith and trust in, Jesus Christ and The Cross, and no matter what Satan throws at me, I am going to stand on the "Message of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified", and I will not accept anything less. I will not fall into the worldly philosophy that the church of today is getting into. And I pray that you won't either. If you have I beg you to repent and turn away from it.

Please, don't just brush me off, and take a look and give some thought to what I am saying.

All around us the church has been using the things of the world to bring people into the church and they have been successful in bring in large numbers of them.

And they are doing so by playing to the sinful flesh.

Saying and doing anything and everything that appeals to the world and leaving Christ and Him Crucified out of it.

The church is constantly changing from one gimmick to another and from one idea to the next, because what it has been doing or teaching it only seems to work for a while and then it starts failing so they seek out another idea.

Just like this church I am speaking of that has started using and promoting worldly philosophy. The quotes that are on their page has nothing to do with Christ and there is nothing in them that even slightly directs one to Christ.

The following text warns and speaks against what is happening in so many of our churchs of today:

Ezekiel
CHAPTER 13
(594 B.C.)

FALSE PROPHETS CONDEMNED

AND the Word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say thou unto them who prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the Word of the LORD (as there were false prophets and prophetesses in Jerusalem, there were such among the Exiles, as well! The Holy Spirit will now direct His attention to them in no uncertain terms!);
3 Thus saith the Lord GOD, Woe unto the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! (The phrase, “Who follow their own spirit,” means that they did not follow the Holy Spirit. They preached what the people wished to hear, in this case a speedy restoration to the Land of Judah.)
4 O Israel, your prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. (Foxes made their homes in the desert among ruins. The false prophets likewise made financial profit out of the ruin of Israel, and, in effect, made that ruin worse.)
5 You have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the House of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD. (These “foolish prophets” made merchandise of the time by telling the people a lie instead of the truth. They made them feel comfortable in their sins, and further told them that peace and prosperity were just around the corner. This slandered the Prophecies of Jeremiah and Ezekiel, and in effect also slandered God.)
6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD has not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word. (The phrase, “They have seen vanity and lying divination,” means that they have believed their own lies and have tried to confirm their own predictions. They did so by claiming, “The LORD saith,” when in fact “the LORD has not sent them,” and had not said anything to them.)
7 Have you not seen a vain vision, and have you not spoken a lying divination, whereas you say, The LORD said it; albeit I have not spoken? (The Lord called the utterances of these false prophets “a vain vision” and “lying divinations.” Regrettably, it is the same presently in the modern Church. False prophets abound!)
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because you have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD. (The word “vanity” means “empty nothings,” which constituted the messages of these individuals. As well, they “saw lies,” because they did not see the Word of God.)
9 And My hand shall be upon the prophets who see vanity, and who divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of My people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the House of Israel, neither shall they enter into the Land of Israel; and you shall know that I am the Lord GOD. (The Judgment denounced against these prophets was that on the restoration of Israel, which would ultimately come to pass, they shall be excluded from the Church and people and the Land of Israel, so their names should be blotted out of the Book of Life. In other words, they lost their souls!)
10 Because, even because they have seduced My people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter (there is a seduction about false doctrine, because it tells the people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear):
11 Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and you, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it. (Christ said that the storms are coming, and only the house that is built on the Rock will stand. Quite possibly, Christ had this very Passage in mind when He uttered His Words in Mat., Chpt. 7.)
12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith you have daubed it? (The false message of peace given by the false prophets was likened to a wall that was built with “untempered mortar,” which has to do with mortar that will not hold the stones together; it is, in fact, only mud which quickly dries, losing its holding ability. When this wall falls, symbolically speaking, the people who had been seduced by the false message will then question the false prophet, but it’s too late. They should have questioned what they heard in the beginning.)
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in My fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in My anger, and great hailstones in My fury to consume it. (The thoughts of the Lord regarding these false prophets can be summed up in the word used twice in this Verse: “fury”!)
14 So will I break down the wall that you have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and you shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and you shall know that I am the LORD. (The mud-house then and the mud-house now are both built by those who do not desire to obey God or His Word; they are being “whitened,” falsely so, by “modern Preachers.”)
15 Thus will I accomplish My wrath upon the wall, and upon them who have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they who daubed it (the phrase, “Thus will I accomplish My wrath upon the wall,” refers to God’s Anger against all that is false);
16 To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD. (As far as is known, at least at this time, Jeremiah and Ezekiel were the only two Prophets being used of God concerning the fate of Judah and Jerusalem. Daniel was being used mightily at this time, but in another capacity. However, the “prophets” spoken of here seem to have been many, even as the false prophets abound presently.)

THE SINS OF THE PROPHETESSES

17 Likewise, thou son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them. (In addition to the false prophets, there were false prophetesses. Ezekiel was told, “Prophesy against them.” In the modern Church that is a “no-no.” But according to the Word of God, somebody has to stand up and say, “That’s right,” or “That’s wrong”!)
18 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women who sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of My people, and will you save the souls alive who come unto you? (The “wall” of Verses 10 through 15 was not literal; it was instead meant to symbolize false teaching. Likewise, the “pillows” and “kerchiefs” of this Verse are symbolic, as well. The implication is that the men prophets built the house, and the women prophets furnished it. The “pillows” symbolize the teaching which gave a false rest, and which the people wished to hear. The ornamental coverings for the head picture attractive and pleasing doctrines which obscure the facts of death and the judgment to come.)

If you have read to this point I plead with you not to just brush me off and to not take what I am saying lightly. We are living in a serious time and our children's future depends on us to teach them the truth.

Many of you have small children and teenagers so really take a look at them and ask yourself if what you are teaching them is the truth. Because what you teach them today will determine where they spend eternity.

As Christians it is our duty to teach the message Jesus Christ and Him Crucified the source of our Salvation and Sanctification. God cannot and will not accept anything other than Jesus Christ for our sin debt and our Salvation.

Call me old fashion, say I am behind the times, tell me I am hung up on days gone by, and I will tell you the God of today, is the same God of yesterday, and He will be the same God of tomorrow.

I will also tell that God has not changed and He will not change to appeal to the modern church's of today. I will tell you that if you believe the lies that are being taught your in for a rude awakening.
