I am hearing a lot about false prophets and it got me thinking; there are so many false prophets in my own head…

I need to be so careful that selfishness isn’t trying to wage her agenda by convincing me the Lord is speaking to me, when in fact the enemy is deceiving me.

The enemy comes disguised as an Angel of light and the truth is, i can easily mistake my own voice for the voice of the enemy.

“Oh the Lord told me to do this…” – no he didn’t. I was deceived. I’m not above the things that happened to humanity in the Bible, I have been just like Eve so many times. 😞

I know there are so many in the same boat but refuse to see that maybe they didn’t hear from the Lord. They will say “The Lord will never lead me into disobedience, if it’s ‘doing his work” … this is one of the greatest LIES from the enemy.

The Lord will never be disobedient. If he tells my pastor something for my life, he won’t tell me something different. I have to remain humble. I have to remain willing and teachable. I have to believe that I just heard the audible voice of the Lord through my pastor.

I have to weigh my thoughts by the word, but I am also aware that my humanity can manipulate the word for my situation.
So I need wise counsel. The word says there’s safety in a multitude of counselors. And here it is; I don’t want to pick my counselors. I’ll pick all counselors that favor my ways.

I want my authority over me to pick them, someone who isn’t so familiar with me, who isn’t afraid to tell me the truth. I don’t know about you, but I truly want to be corrected, adjusted and remain on course. I don’t like the way correction feels but i want the end result.

As a nation we have to humble ourselves…as “adults” we have to be ok with being corrected! Our churches need to be small enough to know the individuals we are pastoring so they can actually be pastored!! But the individuals have to come back into a place of truly wanting to be under authority.

Oh Lord I want to be the centurion soldier, understanding my position in Christ but that I have authority over me, protecting, leading and guiding me.

False prophets aren’t just an external thing, there are false prophets in our thought processes. Can you imagine if everyone adopted this truth? We would actually start evaluating our hearts and adjusting to Christlikeness instead of defending our hearts. Remember the Bible says “the heart is desperately wicked, who can know it?” We don’t know our hearts, let’s get humble America, let’s get humble planet Earth.

The Lord is waiting on us, we aren’t waiting on him.

“The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”
