Yep,
Matt 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Karl, not to impugn you, but "God" voices and works which are not of God come to others.
Of course they do, but have you not forgotten that it is written that all those who seek find????
If you seek Jesus Christ and a word from Him you will find Him!!!!
That is what is written!
Mat 7:9 “You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead?
Silly unbelieving people who fear the devil instead of seeking the Lord!!!
If you have ears to hear then you can indeed hear what is going on around you. But if you are fearing the army of Satan are you looking to the army of God?? NO you are not!! If you fear the devil instead of fear God your eyes are always on the devil so you conclude that anyone who hears must be hearing the devil, so then you close your eyes and ears off that you might not hear - as you shake in your boots!!
Do you not even know that there are more with you than against you?? Do you even understand that if God is for you then you can be against you???
What amazes me is that we find so many posting hear who simply because someone says they hear God quickly assume that they were hearing the demons. That problem was also seen in the Jews Jesus talked to!!
Jn 8:38 “I speak the things which I have seen with
My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from
your father.”
Jn 8:43 The Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
The Jews thought Jesus had a demon!! What they failed to realize was that their father had them fearing anyone who said they heard from God!!
So it is that I find sooooo many claiming to be Christians who doubt me just because I said the Lord our God told me, and that because I say I know Jesus Christ personally. So it is the knowing Jesus Christ personally that they doubt!!! As can be seen in the post above!
Look close are what is written. Did Cassandra express a specific problem with what I said? No She did question that something I said was wrong, but rather she just question whether I was hearing from the Lord in general!! That is because she personally doubts that others can hear from the Lord. So she focused on others who are hearing voices and feels they don't know Him!
Of course that is true, but I proclaim Jesus Christ and that He is the Lord our God!! And that they do not do!!
1 Cor 12:3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
So who is talking to her? She, whether she understands of not, is like those Jews who thought Jesus had a demon but didn't understand their father was the devil.
Jesus Christ is not accursed, He is alive and active and speaking Today to His sheep!!
So let me tell you what I do when someone says they have a word from the Lord Jesus Christ!!!
I try to smile and thank them. I love it when people seek to actually hear the Lord!! That is what I want everybody to do!!
Yet, if the Lord had to use them to tell me something, it is probably because I am not listening to Him like I should. I confess: I usually nly hear from the Lord about a dozen different times a day. Like when I get up, get in the shower, spend some quite time in my favorit chair, then take a walk with Him. Then I get busy with my business and start to forget that He is still with me. So He might have to have someone give me a word from Him to get my attention. Thus when I get a word from someone else I quickly take that word to the Lord myself to hear what He has to say about it!!
And what I have found is that most everyone who claims to have a word from Jesus Christ does infact have a word from the Lord. I would say that at least 95% of the time it they did have a word from Him. Now with that said, most of the time I also find the something got lost in what they tell me.
It is like that little game where you line up a few people and whisper a short story to the person on one end of the line, and each person in turns whispers it to the next person, then the last person in line tells everyone the story and it change massively as it went from person to person. So the word of God spoken to someone else and then given to you might be from God but might not be that accurate! Therefore you need to take the word back to the our Lord Jessus and listen to Him for yourself!!
What a believer should not do is to assume that anyone telling them they have a word from the Lord is wrong!!! His sheep do hear His voice and He uses His sheep at times to bring messages!! Anyone that truly knows Him would come to understand that!!
Still, too many of his servant don't see and hear with their spiritual eyes and ears like they should. So they wind up only seeing the army of Satan - and miss seeing the Lord and His army of God! They don;t know that there are more with us and those with us are more powerful!! They don't know where they stand with God - as children of the Most High (gods) that He is always going to protect!!
Do you remember about the chariots of fire?
2 Kings 6: 15 -17
Now when the attendant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was circling the city. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”
So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
Then Elisha prayed and said, “O LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” And the LORD opened the servant’s eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
So what should be prayed over this group?
2 Kings 6: 18 - 20
When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD and said, “Strike this people with blindness, I pray.” So He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
Then Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, nor is this the city; follow me and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” And he brought them to Samaria.
When they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, “O LORD, open the eyes of these
men, that they may see.” So the LORD opened their eyes and they saw; and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
If a city of people are not willing to seek the Lord our God Jesus Christ and instead fear the devils army instead of God then the prayer for them will be blindness. Yet if a city, though it be like in Samaria, is willing to seek the Lord our God Jesus Christ then the prayer for them will be to open their eyes that they might see.
Are you going to truly believe so that you seek the Lord or are you going to doubt that all voices heard are from the devil so you only focus on Satan!
Again, it is written seek and you shall find, ask and it shall be opened to you, but are you seeing it that way or are you just looking that those dark forces of this world?? I tell you that you had better start looking to God which a belief that He is there, even with more than you are looking at!!!
