FALSE PROPHETS PT.1

TURNING POINT MINISTRIES

It’s midnight! You are awakened out of your sleep by an ‘Angel of the LORD,’ and He says: ‘be not afraid’ for I am come to ask of thee to identify: “The False Prophets, In the World!” Will you be able to identify them my Friend? If you can; what names will you give Him? What will you use to identify them? You may be speechless, but with heavenly patients the ‘Angel of the LORD’ awaits your reply for He dare-not return to the courts of heaven without an answer from you. For truly, this is a life or death situation, said the Angel! On what bases should I have to answer you ask? You were admonished, says the Angel, to: “sanctify the Lord God in your (heart): and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear” now I await your responses. 1 PETER 3:15. Then the Angel said; I’m sure you have read: “For such [are] ‘false apostles,’ deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works?” 2 CORINTHIANS 11:13-15. Then in desperation you ask, can’t I awake my husband and ask of him, who they are? Or better yet; let me call my Pastor I’m sure he knows? Oh-no; SAID THE ANGEL! For you were told over and over, to: “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman (workwoman) that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. You were also told to: “…shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.” 2 TIMOTHY 2:15, 16. Friends; I don’t have to tell you that there are many voices each seeking to get your attention, for this you should know. Just take a quick look at today’s paper, or, just turn on your TV to the so-call “Christian Stations” and you’ll see of what I’m talking about, said the angel, and if you can’t, be assured that the: “…god of this world hath blinded the minds…” of those who cannot see! Friends, the Bible tells US how in the early days of Jesus’s Ministry how Satan tempted HIM in three areas of His life, firstly Satan said: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread”. No, said Jesus, for “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Secondly: “the devil took him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down” and “He shall give his angels charge concerning thee.” Thirdly, the: “devil took Jesus up into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.” But, said Jesus: “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” Here Satan each time was constantly seeking to get Jesus to SIN, but each time Jesus told Satan: “…It is written…” MATTHEW 4:4-10. In other words my Friends, each time he quoted to Satan that which was written, in the HOLY BIBLE, never once did HE use HIS own words. Therefore, says the ‘Angel of the LORD,’ JESUS sent Me to put the question to each of us today, who are: “The False Prophets, In the World” today? Let’s start, said the Angel by putting each Pastor under the ‘magnifying glass,’ of The HOLY STRICTURES. But, won’t I be judging the Pastors if I do that? NO, said the Angel, for JESUS said not once, but twice: “…by their fruits ye shall know them.” MATTHEW 7:16, 20. Then said the Angel, take note of what JESUS said in Vs 15 when he said: “Beware of false prophets,’ which come to you in ‘sheep's clothing,’ but ‘inwardly they are ravening wolves.” MATTHEW 7:15. Hence; if ever there was a time when we needed faith and spiritual enlightenment, to answer the question put forth by the Angel of the LORD, it is now. Friends; only those who are watching unto prayer and are searching the Scriptures daily with an earnest desire to know and do the will of God, will not be led astray by any of the deceptions of Satan. Do WE want the truth on every point? Do we want the truth unadulterated? Or do want errors and the polluted customs, and opinions of the world’s false prophets? Think; on these words!
