Beware of false preachers

In Matthew 7:15-20, Jesus warned us to beware of false prophets. He warned us to be very careful, take precaution against false preachers. False preachers "which come to us in sheep's clothing 🐑, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." It means that false preachers come to us looking like Christians, looking like Christ, saying some of the things that Christ said but it's all a deception. False preachers appear like Christians but inwardly they are doing the work of the Devil, leading souls to destruction, they are ravening wolves 🐺. And plus Jesus warned us in the last days many false prophets will go out into the world and friends these are the last days.

So how do we recognize false prophets, false preachers ? Jesus gave the answer in verse 20 of Mathew 7. He said, " by their fruits you shall know them 🍎." Don't just listen to what the preacher preach, it may sound good but also look at how they live and see if their lives are in harmony with the Word of God. The Bible also say in 2 Timothy 4:3 ," for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts." Meaning in the last days people don't want to hear the truth, but they want preachers who support their sinful desires and Satan will provide them such false preachers.

The other day I read an article about Joyce Meyer. She is a major Televangelist in the United States. Now she may preach many good stuff, but if one closely examine her spiritual fruit you can see danger signs and recently she bore a major fruit which revealed her as a false prophet, a false preacher. The article stated that Televangelist Joyce Meyer gets tattoo at 79, says she did it to honor God. Sounds good right ? I mean she is marking herself for the Lord, showing how much she love the Lord. Can you imagine if she tattoos herself with a scripture verse or the cross! It must show her great love for God right ? Wrong
One cannot honor God in ways God explicitly forbids. God forbids the marking of ourselves. God forbids getting tattoos. In leviticus 19:28, " do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoos marks on yourselves. I am the Lord." God says do not put tattoo on yourselves. The pagans did that and it does honor God but dishonor Him. So Joyce Meyer is not honoring God no matter what tattoo she put on herself, she is dishonoring Him and rebelling against Him.  And to confirm that she is truly a false preachers she misused a scripture verse to justify her action. She  said in she was convinced by Isaiah 49:16 its perfectly ok for her, as a Christian, to sport a tattoo.

What does Isaiah 49:16 says ? Well let's look at the whole context, so we will start from verse 15. " Can a woman forget her nursing child, or lack compassion for the son of her womb ? Even if she could forget, I will not forget you ! Verse 16. Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before before me ." You see this friends! You see how much damage Joyce Meyer has done to the verse! This verse is speaking about God using symbolic language about how much He loves Israel, how much He loves us and is in no way telling Christians to get tattoos or saying tattooing is okay. This what false preachers do, they use scripture out of context in order to justify sin

In one fell swoop Joyce Meyer has revealed more that she is a false preacher in rebellion against the Lord.  But you know what, a lot of people with itching ears 👂🏾will still follow her because she tells them what they want to hear and make them feel comfortable in their sins. Sinners hate the truth because they would have to sacrifice their sinful ways and sinners love their sinful ways but some want to feel like they are Christians so they go to a church that fit their sinful desires. How sad, to leave the world and then goes to a church that leads you straight to hell 🔥. So friends, let us heed the counsel of Jesus our Master and let us "beware of false prophets." Let us study our Bible.

The sanctuary in Heaven

Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. 9 "According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture. Exodus 25:8,9 God told Moses to build him a sanctuary according to the pattern that he sees. Does that mean God created a blue print for him or is it a pattern of something in heaven? Copy of the True Tabernacle The sanctuary that they built in the wilderness is a copy of the one that is in heaven. Yes there is a sanctuary in heaven. So if there is a sanctuary in heaven , does that mean there is a High Priest also? They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." Hebrews 8:5

Is the United States a Christian nation?

 Why calling the United states a Christian country is detrimental to Christianity.  The United states was clearly influenced by Christian principles; The pilgrims were escaping persecutions from Europe and while many of them practiced Christianity, they were still suffering persecution in Europe from state churches. The founding fathers, some being Christians, made sure to separate the church from the state. They well knew of the carnage that comes as a result of having a state religion. And so, the US became one of the rare countries without a state religion. Each person was left to follow the dictate of his own conscience.  When you call a country by a specific religion, people associate all of its behaviors with said religion. Note this example: Slavery was an institution in the United states; this would also mean that the brutality of slavery was accepted a Christian precept. Even the mistreatment of the Indians would have been considered a Christian precept. In fact,...

When God calls you. The fiery way to God

 "Why is my life so hard? Why are these things happening to me? I pray to God for healing, but there is no healing. I pray for better finances, but no money is forthcoming. I am so tired of these struggles; I am on the verge of giving up. I might as well live life the way I want to and hope to die soon. Have these thoughts ever come to your mind? These are thoughts many will encounter as they ascend the mountain of God. For many of us, life began well. We had a great time in our youth; we believed in love, we believed the future was bright, and we felt whole as a person. But somewhere along the way, hardship showed up. An illness, a broken heart, the death of a loved one, or broken aspirations sent us into despair and grief. Suddenly, life became dark and hopeless. But then, we heard the voice of God. We heard someone preach, 'Come to Jesus and all will be well; come to Jesus and He will give you the desires of your heart.' So we came to Jesus, hoping that we were back on ...
