John 14: 26AMP “But the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor -
Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send
in My name (in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf), He will teach
you all things.”
John 14: 6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, truth, and the life”
God knew we would sometimes have
challenges with our decision making so He provided us with a Helper - The
ultimate Guide who fully understands the path of life because He is the Spirit
of Life who searches the mind of Life. This Life is also The Way. As a result,
Our Guide is fully equipped to help our decision making and if we follow Him we
should be fine; but the problem is with following Him. Now more than ever
before, there are many voices out there.
These voices of distraction, which are most dangerous, say nothing useful;
they just make enough noise to distract us. They are often so subtle one does
not immediately realize their capacity to take them off course until you are
already off course. They sound just like the other voices and may not even be
obviously wrong but wrong nonetheless. Even correct word coming from the wrong
spirit is wrong. The spirit negates the seeming truth of the word.
Acts 16: 17 – 18TPT “She kept following us, shouting, ‘these men are
servants of the Great High God, and they’re telling us how to be saved!’ Day
after day she continued to do this, until Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and
said to the spirit indwelling her, ‘I command you in the name of Jesus, The
Anointed One, to come out of her, now!’ At that moment, the spirit came out of
her!”
Mark 4: 24NLT “Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you
listen, the more understanding you will be given.”
We are in perilous times; we must
all be very careful what we lend our ears to. The bible does encourage us to listen
well as soon as we start listening so that one is able to very quickly discern if
it is something they need to turn off instead of wasting time listening to the very
end. I feel like hell is pouring out words to counterfeit the fact of God
speaking to us in these last days through His word. Everywhere, everyone is
speaking. Please don’t waste all of your
time listening to things you should not be listening to. If it is a
conversation you are not able to walk away from, shut out their words and think
on things that are pure, true of honest report.
Hebrews 1: 2NLT “And now in these final days, he has spoken to us
through His son”
Philippians 4: 6TPT “So keep your thoughts continually fixed on all
that is authentic and real, honourable, beautiful and respectful, pure and
holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on very glorious work of God,
praising him always.”
2 Corinthians 11: 14b - 15 TPT “even satan transforms himself to appear
as an angel of light! So it’s no wonder his servants also go about pretending
to be ministers of righteousness.”
There are so many “prophecies”
out there which somehow find their way into our phones. Sadly, we don’t even
check to see if the prophet is committed to Christ; as long as it sounds like
something one Christ led prophet has said, it becomes our self-consuming
ambition to seek its authenticity. Leave it alone. Whether true of not, is it
from the right place? Don’t you know that even the devil transforms himself to
appear like a true angel? Let us stop chasing shadows especially in these times
when there is so much to “care about”. We don’t want to invest energy and time
in the wrong things. We must guard our ‘ear gates’ so that our hearts are
guarded so that we make less bad decisions. Costly mistake is not a luxury we
can afford. If it happens it happens but we must do our part to prevent them. God
does not want us to make them hence the presence of our Helper in our lives. Please
be careful.
