Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
What or who are the influences in your life! What makes you a believer in those things you believe in! Do you follow a majority rule principle or do you seek out what is truth. I’m not asking questions here, but something to think about.
I am talking about how we as individuals read the word of God. For many years I believed everything that came out from the pulpit as I was under a majority rule teaching as every Pastor I ever heard taught the same thing. As I read along with the scriptures given it was by consistency of reasoning that I too believed in what was coming from the pulpit.
I believe now it is that consistency of reasoning that blinds us to the real truth of what God has already spoken, especially when I find myself questioning that of what I am hearing. Are we a product of our social environment or are we a product of Gods environment.
We can only teach others by the anointing of the Holy Spirit that teaches us all things and speaks through us. Many say they are under the anointing or that the Holy Spirit taught them, but are only using logic for their teachings and teach from a majority rule environment.
Let no man teach you unless you know they are under the anointing to do so and learn how to discern the spirits that speak as one is the Spirit of truth and the other the spirit of error. Take the scriptures that are given and allow the Holy Spirit reveal truth to you so you will not be blindsided by a deceptive teaching.
KJV
1John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
The Jerusalem Bible
1John 2:27 But you have not lost the anointing that he gave you and you do not need anyone to teach you. The anointing he gave teaches you everything. You are anointed with truth, not with a lie and as it has taught you so you must stay in him.
KJV
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
1John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
