I am against the prophets saith the LORD

Jeremiah 23:29-32

Is not my word like as a fire?” saith the LORD; “and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets,” saith the LORD, “that steal my words every one from his neighbour. Behold, I am against the prophets,” saith the LORD, “that use their tongues, and say, ‘He saith.’ Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams,” saith the LORD, “and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all,” saith the LORD.

How do we avoid the false prophets and their false teachings? Look to Jesus!

Hebrews 1:1-2

God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.

Jesus said in Matthew 7:15-16, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?”

On the mountain where Jesus was transfigured (Matthew 17:5), it is written: “While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, ‘This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.’”

Jesus said in John 15:15, “No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.”

Let’s encourage each other to seek Jesus in prayer and in His Word in the New Testament. He is all we need.

Family Tensions From Following Jesus

Matthew 10:34-39 “Don’t think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn’t come to send peace, but a sword.

For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

A man’s foes will be those of his own household.

He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me.

He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me, isn’t worthy of me.

He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it."

Consider this:

Following Jesus has a price tag. Tension on earth now and guaranteed bliss in heaven!

Following Jesus can cause division in families. Family members who do not understand your decision to follow Jesus could consider you odd. Though you are not!

Following Jesus could cause members of your family to become your foe.

Following Jesus means taking up the cross of discipleship, the cross of self-denial, and possible affliction.

Following Jesus means you will find the true meaning for your life.

Is it worth it? Yes! Jesus said in Matthew 19:29, "Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life."

All Jesus All The Time

Colossians 2:6-8 "As therefore you received Christ Jesus, the Lord, walk in him,rooted and built up in him, 

and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.

Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ."

Consider this:

Number one, we have to receive Jesus.

Number two, we need to be established in faith in Jesus.

Number three, we need the teachings of Jesus and His apostles in the Bible to guide us.

Number four, we need to be thankful to God.

Number five, we need to be on guard that no one leads us away from the teachings of Jesus in the Bible.

Number six, enjoy walking and talking with Jesus every day and night!

All These Blessings

Deuteronomy 28:2 All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you listen to the LORD your God’s voice.

I was thinking about the blessings of repentance—of turning away from sins to God and seeking forgiveness. And blessing upon blessing of the gift of restored relationship with God. And blessing upon blessing upon blessing of the promise of heaven and eternal life!

Jesus spoke about eternal life for those who forsake all to follow him: Matthew 19:29: “Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.”

And how about the blessing of walking and talking with Jesus every day!

Matthew 28:20 “. . . Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

I hope you have found these blessings. If not, then do what I did. Turn from your sins and turn to Jesus. See Him as the only sacrifice God will accept to make you right with God. And if you know the Lord, then I encourage you not to give up in following Jesus. Let's encourage each other to stay faithful to the end.
