BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS AND PRAY FOR DISCERNMENT.
JEREMIAH 17:9-11
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
Friends, I am writing this blog to help shed light on the deceitful hearts of some. In this season and forward pray to the LORD to increase your discernment. I tell you that many wolves have gone out in this world and they come to you in Sheep’s clothing and if you do not have the spirit of discernment operating in your life you may find yourself in situations and relationships that are not of GOD. But you will find yourself in situations that have been sent by the enemy to steal, kill, and destroy.
The enemy is very conniving, and he knows the things that you stand in the need for, and he has a way of sending the counterfeits and if you are not careful you may think that thing is from the LORD because it looks like what GOD has promised you. The word of GOD tells us to test all spirits. We are warned to be careful and not to believe all spirits and the reason is that many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1 John 4:1 KJV
4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Friends, I pray that you will never fall into the traps of the enemy. I decree and declare to you that you will have the 20/20 Spiritual vision to see beyond the natural and to see what the enemy does not want you to see.
You are a child of GOD, and the LORD has the best for you, and he does not want you to settle for less than the best that he has for you.
The enemy is the father of lies and he is a copycat and always presents the counterfeit of what GOD has for you. So please check the Spirit behind everyone that comes to you and promises heaven and earth with their lips and their heart is full of deception.
There are things you must do to help you in discerning real from fake. They are:
-
- Getting to know who GOD is
-
- Daily reading of the word of GOD
-
- Stable and firm in your identity in CHRIST
-
- Pray constantly in the HOLY SPIRIT
Getting to know who GOD is:
In every relationship to get to know each other better and intimately it is vital to spend time together. When you spend time together you can understand each other and get to know the other person at a deeper and intimate level. The same is true with our GOD. When you spend quality time with GOD you get to know him better and you will understand his ways. When you get to know his ways, it helps you to discern the counterfeit because the HOLY SPIRIT will give you a prompting that this isn’t from GOD. To defeat the enemy and his tricky ways we must spend time with our Abba father and find out what he says about us and who he is. The LORD tells us that his Sheep hear his voice and they will not follow.
John 10:27-28 KJV
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
So how can you know the voice of the LORD if you do not spend intimate time with him? Friends we must spend time with GOD learn about your Abba Father and let him love on you.
Daily reading of the word of GOD:
Getting into the word of GOD daily and letting the HOLY SPIRIT speak to you. By doing this you can get wisdom and understanding. Hence, when the enemy comes with his lies you can spot it right away.
Stable and firm in your identity in CHRIST:
If you do not know who you are in CHRIST, then you stand to be swayed easily by the enemy.
Pray constantly in the HOLY SPIRIT:
When you speak in tongues the Spirit makes intercessions for us because we do not know what we are supposed to pray.
Romans 8:26 KJV
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Love You,
GOD BLESS,
Ije
