Matthew 24:11A
And many false prophets will appear.
In the last days, the Bible strongly predicts that
many will come testifying that they are prophets,
and especially after the rapture of the church.
The rapture will leave a vacuum in the church,
an empty spot that people try to fill.
The problem is the antichrist will be around and
he will not want Jesus to be mentioned or
worshipped, or even known.
There will be many people portraying themselves
as prophets, putting forth great prophecies of
things to come for the church, and even individual
prophecies. We see this even now. Every week
on the internet I recieve prophecies from this
person or that person, and some of them seem
so much alike.
How do we judge the truth?
How do we recognize who is of Christ?
Well one way is it will line up with the scriptures.
In the first of my Bible prophecy series
I told you of the main doctrines of the church,
that you should memorize them, plant them in
your heart, because False prophets and teachers
and even preachers are going to deny these very
doctrines.
Secondly, only God appoints prophets. We cannot
appoint ourselves to be one. A true prophet of God,
when they make prophecies.. those prophecies will
come true.
They will come teaching a false salvation,
a false christ, they will not preach the death
and resurrection of Jesus Christ, they will not
teach of a virgin birth, nor of a need for salvation.
Some will be different, they might teach of something
close to the gospel, but you will hear a
"feely good" kind of preaching.
If it feels good, it must be ok, because God has to
be a loving God.
In other words, don't mention sin!
They are going to predict things full of love
their brand of justice, peace, prosperity,
and empowering yourself.
Their prophecies will turn into dust.
A true prophet magnifies the name of Jesus Christ.
A false one denies Him. A true preacher will
always point you to the word of God,
a false one will point you to visions, dreams,
prophesies, rituals, ceremonies or seminars
that will make him money. Many will teach
things that are occult, such as a brand of mind reading,
astrology, tarot card reading, and many other things.
Just as some of the most popular books in the
world now are teaching children that magic is
a good thing. It is a false thing that goes
against the very heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
MY FRIENDS, DON'T BE FOOLED.
DON'T BE DRAWN INTO FALSE TEACHINGS.
BE AWARE.
MANY WILL BE DRAWN AWAY IN THE LAST DAYS.
DON'T BE ONE OF THEM!
Here are a few listings of satan's device's for
apostasy. (the falling away from the
churches and teaching of God
Counterfeit gods - 1 Thessalonians 2:3-4
counterfeit Jesus - 2 Corinthians 11:4
Counterfeit Christs - Matthew 24:24
Counterfeit spirits - 1 John 4:1, 1 Timothy 4:1
Counterfeit apostles - 2 Corinthians 11:13,
Revelation 2:2
Counterfeit prophets - 2 Peter 2:1, 1 John 4:1
Counterfeit ministers - 2 Corinthians 11:15
Counterfeit gospels - Galatians 1:6-9
Counterfeit Miracles - 2 Thessalonians 2:9
Revelation 16:13
counterfeit worship - John 4:24
There is a new kind of religion coming.
It will have powerful representatives,
good at talking and at speeches, persuasive,
seemingly annointed, strong people
producing miracles, and prophecies,
that seem good feel good, but don't mention
Jesus Christ. Don't mention sin, and the
need for repentance and salvation,
and don't mention the virgin birth,
or the need for obedience to Jesus.
They will speak so powerfully, that many
will be drawn into their faith by watching
all the miracles that will happen.
This is leading right into the ministry
of the False Prophet who will accompany
the Antichrist in his power.
So.. we have got to check everything with
the word of God, we have got to listen closely,
don't be drawn in by pretty speeches,
a charismatic personality, don't be drawn in
by someone who speaks things that make
everything seem as if life is going to get
better and better, that utopia is coming.
That all of the world will be peaceful
and all of our problems solved.
It is a lie from the pit of hell.
It is not going to get better.
I choose to follow Jesus Christ
and believe His word.
He is the one I account to, and it is
He that will take me home to be with Him.
He never fails.
Love never fails...
But whether there are prophecies, they will fail,
and whether the are tongues, they will cease,
whether there is knowledge it will vanish away.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part,
but when that which is perfect has come,
then that which is in part will be taken away.
1 Corinthians 13:8-10
In other words, when Jesus raptures his church
there will no longer be a need for any of those things,
the work is almost completed.. we are home
with God, with new bodies and we will watch
all that is to come. God will reign upon this
earth again, and He will have his way.
No one will stand against Him!
Don't let anyone decieve you!
Read the word, and pray, and ask God!
remember
Only one life
will soon be past
only what is done
For Christ will last
