Jeremiah 23-25
2 Thessalonians 2
In today's reading I found a common theme regarding the warning of false prophets. "I [The Lord] did not send these prophets" (23:21), and "Let the prophet who has a dream tell his dream but let the one who has my word speak faithfully" (v. 25:28) Paul's initial encounter with Jesus put him in a very unique position in that he heard God and accepted his role to "speak faithfully". The same way Jeremiah warned us, Paul also warns us in verse 3 "don't let anyone deceive you in any way." So that brings us to the ultimate question of how we can weed out God's truth from false words and teaching we are exposed to. I can only share with everyone what I've learned since I started my journey. If what I'm asked to believe doesn't match up with Scripture I have to ask someone who knows more than I do. Fortunately we have amazing leaders to turn to in our church who are very willing to guide and direct us and pray with us. Staying in the Word is key in order to decipher God's Word from false teachings. By listening for God's voice in quiet time we open our spirit to meet His and allow His truths to renew our minds.
