This message out of obedience to the Holy Spirit so I’m praying that everyone will receive what I’m saying in love, as it is being delivered in love and true humility.
Please, please, please be very careful when listening to online preachers/churches, many of them do not preach the true gospel/scripture in its entirety/full context.
I know our generation looks to teachers who are hip and cool and we want to digest content that's easily accessible through social media, but when watching, ensure that what they are teaching truly lines up with the Word of God and doesn't just sound good.
Take time to ask yourself if the leaders you are listening to are preaching on the importance of understanding sin, repentance, consequences of sin, the need for salvation, who Jesus was and why He came, and not just things that focus on self, health, wealth, and being prosperous
Also, be sure to take into consideration how they read and interpret scripture, do they only cover scriptures that make you feel good feelings only?
Do they read and delve further into scripture, do they break down the Word verse by verse, with proper cross referencing of scriptures? Or do they just read one piece and don’t break down the context of the verses/chapter that they’re teaching?
When they are speaking, is it something that can be backed up with scriptures? In full context? or is it something they came up with on their own? Is it based on worldly/personal philosophy or truly on the Word of God?
False doctrine/teachers are really dangerous and I don't want others to fall to the things that I had to.
I was in a space where false doctrine/teachers was all I ran to, as I was a newborn babe in Christ, looking to fill up on the things of God. However, it caused me great pain when the Holy Spirit revealed most of what I learned was false, unlearning and relearning is not glamorous
Are many of your faves false? Yes, and I know it’s hard to accept, however the Holy Spirit reveals in His timing. I was in your shoes at one point however, the more I studied the Word for myself, it was evident what was sound doctrine and what was not. I’m still learning
Will I go into detail on which teachers are false? I will not, unless the Holy Spirit leads you to come to me in private. The HS hasn’t given me the okay to do so publicly, and I will be obedient, as I do not believe in speaking out of turn, or from my flesh, only His spirit.
Please know it’s important not to just read the word of God, but to study it in it’s entirety. Reading and studying are two different things. Study to show yourself approved and remember that you must read/study the word of God with the Holy Spirit and not with a carnal mind.
Once you know the Word of God for yourself, you won’t be easily deceived or fall to the many false doctrines/teachers that are out there, you’ll know His truth because you’ve studied His Word & received wisdom/knowledge/understanding/revelation & clarity through His Holy Spirit.
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1 (KJV)
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves” Matthew 7:15 (KJV)
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables” 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (KJV)
Again, this message is in the utmost love and I pray that it’s received. May God bless you all and may we all continue to grow individually in Christ as well as together. ❤️
SN: I do not debate the Word of God, nor do I participate in quarrels, if you come to me with scriptural backing, we can have a conversation. If it is based on how you feel personally and not on the Word of God I will love you no differently but I will not engage in conversation
If you are a believer & there lies any error in anything I have said & the Holy Spirit leads you to correct me in love. I am not above correction. I am a babe transitioning from spiritual milk to the meatier things of God & will allow my Father to bring me low if need be ❤️
