Days of Deception - Truth is Your Sword!

This is a powerful message! (Matthew 7:21-23) Proof in the word of God that our works are just that...."works" and no reflection of our true relationship with Christ. We may prophesy, we may drive out evil, we may perform miracles....but as it says in verse 21 "only the one who DOES THE WILL OF THE FATHER" will enter. Hence, just because we perform works (which don't get me wrong, are valuable to build up others and build the church) doesn't mean we are doing the will of the father (His entire will). The only way to know what the will of the Father is, is through knowing His word. You'll never truly have a relationship with Him or KNOW him if you don't know His word. We should also be careful and mindful of those who pick and choose "portions" of His will from the Bible and claim to be a teacher, preacher or prophet. Yet totally negate other principles of the word and truths of God's will that are written. This is how we get misled, become blinded and end up with a distorted truth ourselves. Revelation 22:18-19 is very clear!

We need all remember that there are many great teachers, preachers, leaders; and there will also be many sheeps in wolves clothing who aren't doing the will of God at all; but rather deceiving many with their mighty "works" while compromising the truth and leading people to praise them instead of Jesus. At the end of the day HIS WORD is your truth and HIS SPIRIT your compass! Keep your spiritual senses always alert as God warned us that in the last days false influences would come. My advice....separate the sheep from the wolves WITH the sword of God's word. And when you are blessed to find teachers, preachers and leaders who you can truly see are doing, living and breathing the will of God, pray for them and support them. Their callings will NOT get any easier in the days to come. God bless all the sheep doing the will of God with pure hearts, right motives, aligned with God's word. And always remember we too have to regularly check ourselves in the mirror of God's word. Even sheep can sometimes get confused and wander off course and out of His will.
