"IF HUMAN LOVE DOES NOT CARRY A MAN BEYOND HIMSELF, IT IS NOT LOVE. IF LOVE IS ALWAYS DISCREET, ALWAYS WISE, ALWAYS SENSIBLE AND CALCULATING, NEVER CARRIED BEYOND ITSELF, IT IS NOT LOVE AT ALL." Oswald Chambers
How do you know? When will you know? What do you think you know? "God speaks one way and yet another though man may not perceive it." (Through Rick & Bubba or Job 33:14) There are 'Words of Knowledge' and there is self deception. There is gathering to you what your itching ears want to hear, and then there is true discernment that comes through the Holy Spirit. Just because someone says they have the Holy Spirit does not mean they actually do. Test every spirit. More frequently than we realize we interact with angels of light (and I don't mean the good kind.) Peeps in the body of Christ strongly convinced, fully believing, that they have heard from the Lord on a certain issue or matter that they were seeking confirmation on. Along with visions, dreams, and confirmations, they have received other "words" from random individuals that confirm the 'words' they previously received. It is downright scary when their "words" include others ...
"WHOSOEVER COMETH TO ME, AND HEARETH MY SAYINGS, AND DOETH THEM, I WILL SHOW YOU TO WHOM HE IS LIKE: HE IS LIKE A MAN WHICH BUILT AN HOUSE, AND DIGGED DEEP, AND LAID THE FOUNDATION ON A ROCK: AND WHEN THE FLOOD AROSE, THE STREAM BEAT VEHEMENTLY UPON THAT HOUSE, AND COULD NOT SHAKE IT: FOR IT WAS FOUNDED UPON A ROCK. BUT HE THAT HEARETH, AND DOETH NOT, IS LIKE A MAN THAT WITHOUT A FOUNDATION BUILT AN HOUSE UPON THE EARTH; AGAINST WHICH THE STREAM DID BEAT VEHEMENTLY, AND IMMEDIATELY IT FELL; AND THE RUIN OF THAT HOUSE WAS GREAT." Luke 6:47-49 Jesus says more than once, "COME." Come unto me. I think that is one of the first things we forget to do. We are unable to do anything else that He says if we do not first COME UNTO HIM. If we will come to Him then we can hear what He is saying. Beyond coming to Him and hearing His words, we must choose to do what He says. Storms are going to come, the river of life is bound to change, the current is going to get stronger, wind...
See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. Hebrews 3:12 O Brother where art thou? In this world laden with care Drawing ever near the Saviour and covering all in prayer? Or hast thou too an unbelieving heart Despairing at every wake? Causing others to live in fear And miss the hand of grace... O Brother where art thou? Hast thou forgotten thy first love Who hast given all for thee Speak the truth at once Let thy light shine in the dark Study to know the truth to answer That the proof of power may be Alive for ever inside of thee
