Jeremiah 8:8-9 “How can you say, ‘We are wise because we have the word of the Lord,’ when you teachers have twisted it by writing lies? These wise teachers will fall into the trap of their own foolishness, for they have rejected the word of the Lord. Are they so wise after all?”
Watch, Child. The time approaches when those who have been twisting my Word, preaching false gospels, tickling the ears of those who would not hear Me – the time approaches when they will be trapped by their own foolishness. The day approaches when I stop allowing them the ability to lead my children astray. I am not blind, nor deaf to what they are doing. I understand the depth of depravity in their souls. Do you? If you do, then not only do not stop speaking out against it, but speak louder and more often. Pray that all lies would be exposed, that all those who are teaching falsities would repent and turn back to Me, and that all those who have been misled by their false gospels would have their eyes opened to Truth, repent and turn to Me and be saved. This is not a game. There are those churches who play the numbers game. How many have been baptized? How many are members of the church? How many attend prayer services and Bible studies? How much money are they tithing? How big is our building? How many listen to our podcasts? These are matters that do not matter. What matters is whether what is being taught is true or false. What matters is whether the teachers are obedient to Me or to their enemy. For do not be misled: any who twist My Word, any who preach false doctrine, any who are focused on their “church” rather than on Me – all of them are serving the enemy. There is no gray area here. Every choice you make, every action you take, every thought you choose to keep in your mind and nurture – every one of those things is a spiritual decision or action. Be aware. Your enemy is very sly. Very intelligent. Very crafty and manipulative. He is able to clothe evil in the semblance of good. He makes you seek “good” over “best”. He allows you to accept compromise for ease in life. My road is not easy. It is not comfortable. It is not often man’s first choice. But it is always the best choice, the best way, the best of the best in everything. For in it are salvation and eternal rest in My Presence. Your time here is limited, short really (though you do not understand that as you do not understand eternity). But, Child, trust Me. Choose the narrow path. Choose the difficult road. Choose the Truth over convenient lies. Choose Me over everything else. Everything and everyone else. Look to Me, study My Word, focus exclusively on your relationship with Me. All the rest will sort itself out as I guide you, mold you, protect and help you. When I say I love you, it is with a love that you do not comprehend and will not understand completely until you stand in My Presence. For now, just trust Me. It is worth any and every “sacrifice” you could possibly make in your life on earth.
Colossians 3:1-4 Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.
