Pastor’s Note: God does NOT change and neither does the spirit of His Word. It is living and still relevant for each and every one of us today. With that thought in mind, remember the Prophetic words given by God’s Prophets and Teachers. The words STILL ring true! Do not be fooled into believing God’s Words and warnings were or are only for the children of Israel in ancient history.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-21, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.” KNJV (Bold emphasis, added).
The LORD has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does.
He said, “Don’t call everything a conspiracy, like they do, and don’t live in dread of what frightens them. Make the LORD of Heaven’s Armies holy in your life. He is the One you should fear. He is the One who should make you tremble. He will keep you safe. But to others He will be a stone that makes people stumble, a rock that makes them fall. And for the people of many nations He will be a trap and a snare. Many will stumble and fall, never to rise again. They will be snared and captured.”
Preserve the teaching of God; entrust His instructions to those who choose to follow after Him. I will wait for the LORD, who has turned away from those who have rejected and denied Him. I will continue to always put my hope in Him.
I and the children the LORD has called to Himself serve as signs and warnings to ALL the nations and peoples, a warning directly from the LORD of Heaven’s Armies who dwells in his Temple no longer made with hands.
Someone may say to you, “Let’s ask the mediums, psychics and all those who consult the spirits of the dead. Let’s turn to the prophets who will tell us what we want to hear. With their whisperings and mutterings, they will tell us what to do.”
But shouldn’t people ask God for guidance? Especially those He has called to Himself. Should the living seek guidance from the dead and the spiritually blind? Look to God’s instructions and teachings!
People who contradict His word are completely in the dark. They will go from one place to another, weary and hungry. And because they are hungry, they will rage and curse their leaders and God Almighty, their very Creator. They will look up to heaven and down at the earth, but wherever they look, there will be trouble and anguish and dark despair. They will be thrown out into the deepest darkness.
