The Miracle of God’s Word

Galatians 4:23
But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.

Anything that is only of our flesh and not the work of the Holy Spirit in and through us is actually at enmity with the Lord, for He cannot be pleased by the flesh, but only faith (Romans 8:7-8, Hebrews 11:6). Abraham never staggered at the promise (Romans 4:20), but he sure staggered at the avenue through which it would come, and when he got ahead of God, he trusted in what he himself could do, and that is always the work of the flesh. Ishmael was born of the bond woman after Abraham’s fleshly attempt to bring about the promise of God. It never has, nor will it ever take place, and this is the vast difference between the Law/Bondage and Grace/Promise/Freedom.

Many today sit and listen to messages that give an answer to our many problems as “trying harder” or “finding the new thing that God is doing in that Church or this Church.” Make no mistake about it Brother’s and Sister’s, if it is not faith in the cross, we are not going to find that daily victory, peace and joy that we know is ours, but will have to fake it until we make it. This makes many mad, but the humble will hear it and come running back to the Cross of Jesus Christ, as I speak from experience. It is either the Cross and the Holy Spirit, or it is anything other and the Sin Nature and flesh (Romans 6:16). I choose again today to deny myself of whatever it is that would hinder my trust in and taking up of the cross alone to be able to follow my Jesus according to the Scriptures (Luke 9:23, 14:27).

Bread Crumbs “I Am Not Ashamed” September 2

When a person finds something that they can depend on, that is very special. When they experience something that never fails, something that never falls short of its promise, something that never leaves them disappointed, then they have located something that they need never be ashamed of. I am glad to report that God has always delivered on everything that He has ever promised me. In the Gospel I have found and experienced supernatural grace for salvation and the provision and power to be progressively sanctified. I have comfort of knowing that no matter my performance, God will always stay right by my side. He has never deserted me. At times He has chastised me. But I know from His Word that He only chastises those He loves. He has never failed to guide or strengthen me. In every situation He has watched over my well-being and done for me what I could not do for myself. The bottom line is, I am not ashamed to proclaim Jesus Christ as my Savior, God as my Father, and the Holy Spirit as my Comforter. I have absolutely no reason whatsoever to be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ! He has been so very good to me! And He always does whatever He has promised!

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

The Miracle of God’s Word

Galatians 4:24
Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.

These two sons born to Abraham, being Ishmael and Isaac were an allegory, which means they were symbols of Law and Grace. The first mentioned is Ishmael born of Agar, which was Sarah’s handmaiden. Paul here relates the Covenant of Law to Agar, which produces only bondage. Again, don’t forget the reason for this letter. The Galatians were being moved by the lust of their own flesh (James 1:14) through the lies of the Judaizers to go back into bondage by trusting in their own works such as circumcision, keeping the feast days, etc… Don’t think for a second that these same things aren’t taking place today through such things as the Purpose Driven Life, The Government of 12, or ANY other program or book that leads us to anything other than simple faith in Christ and His Cross, NOT Christ and what we do.

We are ordained to walk in good works (Ephesians 2:10), but it is so easy to find ourselves trusting in what we are doing and telling others that if they will do what we do, God can save or deliver them too. Been there and done that, and even most MINISTERS are there today. As a matter of factually speaking, most towns and cities in our great nation do not have even one single local Church preaching the power of God, which is the preaching of the Cross (1 Corinthians 1:18), but rather are telling God’s people to try harder, or just get involved, and the list goes on and on. The answer is the Cross of Jesus Christ for everything the Lord has to offer humanity. The Grace for initial Salvation and the Grace for daily Sanctification! We are either seeing this in ALL the Scriptures or we are looking and being led in the wrong direction just as the Galatians were. Stay single eyed (Luke 11:34)!

Your Word for Today

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwells no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not (Rom. 7:18).

Most Christians think that when a person comes to Christ, the Lord gives them an extra-strong willpower. Consequently, they now have, they think, the power to say “No!” to sin.

None of that is correct!

It may come as a shock and a surprise to most Christians, but the Devil can easily override the willpower of a person. The only “willpower” that the Lord gives a person is the will to say “Yes!” to Christ, which is, in fact, very important. This means that the worst sinner in the world, for example, one totally bound by alcohol or drugs, who cannot say “No!” to those vices, can, if he so desires, say “Yes!” to Christ. It is the same principle with the Believer.

The Lord doesn’t really give the Believer the capacity to say “No!” to sin, because we are “dead to sin.” A dead man doesn’t say anything. In this “newness of life,” however, we are given the capacity to say “Yes!” to Christ and His Way, which is the Way of the Cross. That is where the will of man begins and ends.

The Believer does not overcome by willpower; he overcomes by Faith. This means, as we have repeatedly stated, Faith in Christ and the Cross (Gal. 6:14).

If one studies the life of the Apostle Paul, one must come to the conclusion that he was a man with a strong constitution. I personally believe Paul had extremely strong willpower; however, he very clearly states in Romans 7:18 that he had the will to live the life he knew he ought to live, but “how to perform that which is good he found not.” His willpower, in other words, simply was not good enough. And neither is yours!

Law, as a barrier to the will, excites it; and the consciousness of sin thereby awakened produces in the Presence of God a conscience under sentence of death. Thus, the Commandment ordained unto life becomes, in fact, the instrument of death. “This do and you shall live” became death to man because his sinful nature refused to obey; and in so refusing his own conscience, it condemned him to death.

Thus, the Law was holy and each of its Commandments just and good, but it condemned to death all who failed to render to it a perfect obedience, as condemn it must! Such is the effect of Divine Law upon man’s carnal nature; the rest of this Seventh Chapter illustrates the doctrine by showing how fruitless is the effort of the “old man” to live as the “new man.” There is simply no such thing as moral evolution, i.e., self cannot control self; the flesh cannot control the flesh.

If the Believer is trying to live for God by any means other than Faith in Christ and the Cross, no matter how hard he tries, he will find himself sinking deeper and deeper into the morass of sin. That means the situation will become worse and worse.

There is no victory in “trying harder.” There is victory only in Christ and the Cross!

Bread Crumbs “The Short Fuse” September 3

Do you have a consistent problem of anger that rises up at the most inopportune moment? Some say that this is just an attribute passed on from generation to generation. They say, “my grandfather had this, my father had this, and I come by it naturally.” We excuse our inappropriate actions by declaring, “This is just the way that I am.” Some of that may be true but not in the way most people understand it. When man fell in the garden of Eden, he became a creature that concentrated primarily upon self. We became “all about me.” The true reason that we are quick to let our tempers flare in an unbecoming fashion is simply because something has been said or done that offends us. We do not like this, or we do not agree with that. Things are not being handled the way I think they should. Masking our displeasure with as many excuses as may come to our minds, we explode in an exhibition of anger. We are quick to blame others for our wrong behavior. “If they would just do what pleases me, I would not be angry!” I submit to you that having a quick temper is simply the evidence of a person’s misappropriated focus and concentration upon self.

Proverbs 15:18 - A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

The Miracle of God’s Word

Galatians 4:25
For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

Paul continues to explain why the Galatians need look no further than to Christ and His Atoning sacrifice to find the Lord meeting all their needs, and if they continue to choose the Law, it will result only in bondage. To think otherwise is to believe something deceitful (Proverbs 12:17), which is something that appears or feels right, but the end thereof is death (Separation from the Lord) (Proverbs 14:12, 16:25). The Way of the Lord is NOT about how I feel, or how my emotions are affected, but rather am I in agreement with the only avenue through which God works (Psalm 33:4, Romans 8:2).

Israel had rejected Christ and God had cut them off (Romans 11:17-23), and in these verses in Romans here mentioned, we see that the Christian can be cut off as well if they do not continue to stand by faith. So much false teaching concerning our Eternal Security, which the Children of God do have, but it is NOT UN-conditional, but as always with the Lord, it is based upon one’s faith. If we could not walk in a place where fruit could not be bear (John 15:1-6), or we could not ever be cut off (Romans 11:20-22) or have our names blotted out of the Book of Life (Revelation 3:1-6), we surely wouldn’t need most of what is written in the New Testament. Now of course, if you are clinging to the heresy of UN-conditional Eternal Security, you will have to twist all these verses of Scripture, and that as always puts one in the sinking boat with those “Who do not have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.” Come back to the Cross and become determined to know nothing other so that you can walk by biblical faith.

Your Word for Today

For I delight in the Law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the Law of my mind, bringing me into captivity to the Law of sin which is in my members (Rom. 7:22-23).

There are several “laws” listed here, all designed by God, which will definitely work as they were designed to work. Those laws are:

1. “The Law of God”: This is the moral part of the Mosaic Law, in which the inner man delighted, but which, within himself, he was unable to keep. This is, in effect, The Ten Commandments (Ex., Chpt. 20).

2. “The Law of the mind”: This is the mind of the redeemed man, which wants to walk in victory. It has the desire and the will; but, within itself, it is insufficient.

3. “The Law of sin”: This is the sin nature, which is stronger than the “Law of the mind,” and which brings a person into spiritual captivity — captivity, in some way, to sin. The “Law of the mind” wants to serve the “Law of God,” but not being strong enough within itself, instead finds the flesh serving “the Law of sin” (Rom. 7:25). This is the same as the “Law of sin and death” of Romans 8:2.

That’s the reason the Apostle said, “O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” (7:24). Regrettably, this is exactly where most Christians are, at least those who sincerely want to live for God.

4. “The Law of Faith” (Rom. 3:27): This is the “law” designed by God which opens up the next law, which we will momentarily discuss. The “Law of Faith” refers strictly to Faith in Christ and His Finished Work.

5. “The Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus”: This is the most powerful law in the universe; it is the only law which is more powerful than the “Law of sin and death,” which is the same as the “Law of sin” of 7:23.

If the Believer doesn’t function according to “the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus,” he cannot walk in victory, cannot enjoy more abundant life, and he is, in fact, in danger of losing his way with God, even as millions already have.

These are laws which were designed by God; to be sure, these laws will always have the intended effect.

“The Law of sin and death” is the second most powerful law in the universe. It has filled the Earth with graves and has caused untold pain, sickness, suffering, and catastrophe. The unconverted man keeps trying to overcome this law by all type of means, but he cannot. Unfortunately, the redeemed man tries to do the same thing. Either through ignorance or unbelief, with the results being the same in either case, far too many Believers attempt to overcome this terrible “Law of sin and death” by means other than “The Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus” (8:2). It cannot be done, and it is not meant to be done.

We learn just how powerful “the Law of sin and death” actually is by understanding the price that had to be paid in order for this law to be overcome. That price was the Cross of Christ! That’s the reason that Paul preached the Cross. That’s the reason we preach the Cross. There is no other way.

Bread Crumbs “Hope” September 4

Hope in the heart of every human being is essential in order to find any degree of value in everyday life. A human being can live for a limited time without food or water. But the inner drive that keeps the human spirit moving forward is hope that exists in the individual heart. Without hope an individual will soon wither. His will to live collapses and he resigns himself to the misery of his experiences. All that remains is a gloomy look forward to the day that the present sorrow will cease, and death takes the hopelessness away. Dominated by sin, destroyed by sickness, debilitated by sorrow, the human race stood hopeless and exasperated. But under the direction of an all-knowing and ever merciful God, Jesus Christ came to redeem men from their state of helplessness and hopelessness. Righteousness became attainable. Sins ever present stain could finally, and forever be removed. Hope like a beacon from a lighthouse set high upon the hillside, began to send out a guiding light. It leads all those who will believe to a final and safe destination. In Christ there is hope for those who feel hopeless. Call on Him today and let hope arise, like a new day, in your heart.

Psalm 33:22 - Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

Galatians 4:26
But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Jerusalem is the City of Peace, and is where the Lord Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of our Heavenly Father. As Paul described Mount Sinai as the place of Law and bondage in relation to Hagar and his son Ishmael, which he had through her, he now describes that which is a type and shadow of God’s Saving Grace and promise of Righteousness through Isaac (Genesis 17:21). He refers to Jerusalem as the mother of all who are BORN AGAIN through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ because he is relating the two covenants in reference with the two women which brought about the births of the flesh (Ishmael) and of the promise (Isaac).

Again, do not walk away from the purpose of this letter to an already saved and filled with the Holy Spirit people of God. They were wandering away from THE FAITH (Galatians 1:6, 5:1-4), and God was reaching to them in His attempt to KEEP THEM, but God can only SAVE AND KEEP His people by His power THROUGH THE FAITH which is unto Salvation (1 Peter 1:5). There are many distractions and always have been, and while many are opting out of the Way of the Cross, which is God’s only Way of Faith unto Salvation, we must continue to fight this good fight of Faith. The only Words of God which the enemy cannot steal out of our hearts are the Words that are dipped in the Blood of Jesus, which means our faith holding fast to Christ and His Redemptive work at Calvary!

Your Word for Today

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (Rom. 8:1).

As the subject of the Third and Fourth Chapters of Romans is God declaring how the sinner can be righteous, so the theme of this Chapter is God making the sinner holy. This Chapter opens with “no condemnation” and closes with “no separation.” The subject of Romans 5:12-21 is “condemnation” for all who are in Adam; the theme of this Chapter is “no condemnation” for all who are in Christ.

The word “condemnation” in the Greek is “katakrima,” which means “an adverse sentence, a verdict of guilt.”

Going back to 7:24, an Egyptian punishment at that time was to fasten a criminal to a corpse and leave it attached until death. It was a terrible bond, as would be obvious, and the more so because the man bound knew that the bond would result in death. This was possibly before the Apostle’s mind when he wrote 7:24. Such a helpless and hopeless prisoner, held in a bond so loathsome and fatal, would cry out with anguish, “Who can deliver me from this dead body?”

This is the moral condition of all who are in Adam.

Christ, in a sense, took this very position at Calvary, and died in consequence. But having atoned for all sin, Satan could not hold Him in the bondage or captivity of death, so He rose from among the dead and ascended above the highest heavens, having, by His Death, destroyed death (Heb. 2:14), abolished sin in the flesh (Heb. 9:26), and exhausted the curse of the Law (Gal. 3:13). The glad tidings of the Gospel consist in the declaration that all who by Faith are in Christ died and rose with Him, and there is consequently no person and no thing that can condemn them. For Christ there is now no condemnation. He suffered its fullness infinitely at Calvary.

But He suffered that condemnation there on behalf of, and for the benefit of, all who believe upon Him. Hence, there is no condemnation for us. We are in a new position entirely beyond and above the reach of everything to which condemnation attaches. Where Christ and all who are in Him now stand there can be no question of sin, of wrath, of condemnation, or of imputation of punishment. All such questions were settled before He ascended thither; and He is on the Throne of God, His Person and Work accepted because these questions were settled.

The glorious truth that liberates the Believer’s heart is that he is there in that glory with Christ, where nothing that condemns can reach him.

“Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by Grace you are saved

“And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in Heavenly Places in Christ Jesus” (Eph. 2:5-6).

The Believer is dead to the old life, for he was Crucified with Christ. As a partner with Christ, he, therefore, enjoys all the advantages of the partnership acquired by Christ before he was brought into it. This is not merely an experience, it is a Divine Operation apprehended and enjoyed by Faith.

Bread Crumbs “Now I See” September 5

The human race, as a whole, is spiritually blind because of the presence of indwelling sin. The world likes to label the Christian as an out of touch fanatic who believes in archaic principles that no longer matter in a “post-modern” world. The truth is that the world is incapable of consistently grasping right from wrong. They do not have the sensibility to always separate the ethical from the evil. All the while proclaiming and thinking of themselves to be progressive and wise, they have become morally foolish and dull of heart. The evolution of evil in the heart of man is becoming more obvious to those who truly have spiritual sight. Man is not getting better and better but is progressively becoming worse. This is clearly evidenced by the way we treat our fellow man. We are becoming a people where everyone does what is "right" in their own eyes. However, for the truly “born-again” Christian who strives to stay sensitive to the Spirit of God, the ability to discern right from wrong should be increasing not diminishing. I thank God that where I once was blind, by His grace, I am now made to see. “Lord, help me to see with the ‘spiritual eyes’ that you have provided for me!”

Psalm 146:8 - The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

The Miracle of God’s Word

Galatians 4:27
For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.

“The mother of us all” is referring to the New Jerusalem above where Christ is seated at the Right Hand of our Heavenly Father. Remember that Paul is using the two women who brought forth Abraham’s son’s Ishmael and Isaac, to show us the difference between that of the children of flesh and the children of promise, Isaac being the child through which the promise would come. Sarah, the mother of Isaac was barren until she was 90 years of age, but through the promise of God, is no longer barren today, but has more children than she which was not barren (Hagar), for Hagar only gave birth to the children of the flesh which represents those under Law and bondage.

Israel was cut off because of their rejection of Christ, which means they chose rather to believe they could keep the Law. No man has ever kept the Law at all other than Jesus Christ, and to break one of God’s Laws is to be a breaker of them all (James 2:10). The Galatian’s were choosing to YIELD to the very one’s that God had cut off due to their rejection of Christ and His atoning sacrifice alone. When we sit under a minister who is telling us to try harder, or is pointing us to anything we must DO to be either saved OR sanctified daily, we sit under confusion and will remain confused ourselves, and the danger is that the further we go in that direction the more likely it is that we will walk completely away from the Lord altogether (Revelation 3:2). God’s choice for all of humanity is Grace to Save and Grace to Sanctify daily, and is only offered THROUGH FAITH in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Keep running the race of victory Saints!!

For those of you who are walking with the Lord, you will be amazed at this prophetic Word given 55 years ago.

May we all be awakened!

Stanley Frodsham's Prophetic Warning - 1965
This prophecy was given at the Elim Bible Institute USA, in 1965 by the late Stanley Frodsham. Brother Frodsham was one of those who received his Baptism in the Holy Ghost at Sunderland in 1908 where the Pentecostal movement in Britain had its beginnings. He was a recognized prophet and teacher in the Body of Christ whose life and ministry spanned the Pentecostal Revival, the great Healing Revival and the early days of the Charismatic Movement. He also authored the well-known book, "Smith Wigglesworth: Apostle of Faith". It is written: "Despise not prophesying. Prove all things, hold fast that which is good" (I Thessalonians 5.-20,21). The following is a prophetic word given to one who was under a heavy anointing. We believe all who read these solemn prophetic warnings should take diligent heed to them. "Believe in the Lord your God, so ye shall be established,- believe His prophets, so shall ye prosper" (II Chronicles 20.-20).

With great judgments will I plead with the population of this country. Great darkness is coming upon the countries that have heard my gospel but no longer walk in it. My wrath shall come upon them. The darkness shall be so great, and the anguish so sore that men will cry out for death and shall not find it. There shall be a lingering death, famine, and great catastrophes.��My wrath shall be manifested against all ungodliness. It shall come with great intensity. You have known My love but have not known My wrath, My severity. My judgments are literal and not a thing to be lightly passed over. Realize the severity of My judgments and My intense anger against the sin in My household. My judgments shall begin in My house. For I will cleanse My house that it be not partaker of My wrath against the iniquities of the cities. Before I visit the nations in judgement I will begin at My house. When I do cause My wrath to come upon the cities of the world My people shall be separate. I desire a people without spot or wrinkle, and such shall be preserved by Me in the time of My wrath coming upon all iniquity and unrighteousness.��I am going to prepare you for the coming days by a hard path that will cause you to cry out continually unto Me. For when the going is easy, men do not seek Me, but rejoice in a temporary blessing. And when that blessing is removed they so often turn this way and that way but do not come to Me. I am showing you these things that you may seek Me continually and with great diligence. As you seek Me, I will open up truths to you that you have not seen before; and these very truths will be that which will enable you to stand in these last days. As you are persecuted, reviled and rejected by your brethren then you will turn unto Me with all your heart and seek Me for that spiritual life you have need of. And when tribulation comes you will have that which will enable you to stand. For many shall be tossed to and fro.

Many shall fall through divers lusts, and because of sin abounding. But if you will seek Me diligently I will put My Spirit within you. When one shall turn to the right hand or to the left you shall not turn with them, but keep your eyes wholly on the Lord. The coming days are the most dangerous, difficult and dark, but there shall be a mighty outpouring of My Spirit upon many cities, and many shall be destroyed. My people must be diligently warned concerning the days that are ahead. Many shall turn after seducing spirits; many are already seducing My people. It is those who DO righteousness that are righteous. Many cover their sins by great theological words. But I warn you of seducing spirits who instruct My people in an evil way. Many of these I shall anoint, that they may purify and sift My people; for I would have a holy people.��Many shall come with seducing spirits and hold out lustful enticements. You will find that after I have visited My people again, the way shall become more and more narrow, and fewer shall walk there in. But be not deceived, the ways of righteousness are My ways. For though Satan come as an angel of light hearken not to him; for those who perform miracles and speak not righteousness are not of Me. I warn you with great intensity that I am going to judge My house and have a church without spot or wrinkle when I come. I desire to open your eyes and give you spiritual understanding, that you may not be deceived but may walk with uprightness of heart before Me, loving righteousness and hating every evil way. Look unto Me and I will make you to perceive with the eyes of the Spirit the things that lurk in darkness, that are not visible to the human eye. Let me lead you in this way that you may perceive the powers of darkness and battle against them. It is not a battle against flesh and blood; for if you battle in that way you accomplish nothing. But if you let Me take over and battle against the powers of darkness then they are defeated, and then liberation is brought to My people.��I warn you to search the Scriptures diligently these last days.

[MessageOfTheCross]

Men's hearts shall fail them because of trouble on every hand. For these days shall be very terrible, the like of which has never been seen before.��When I visit My people in mighty revival power, it is to prepare them for the darkness ahead. With the glory shall come great darkness, for the glory is to prepare My people for the darkness. I will enable My people to go through because of the visitation of My Spirit. Take heed to yourselves lest you be puffed up and think that you have arrived. Many shall be puffed up as in the olden days, for many then received My message but they continued not in it. Did I not anoint Jehu? Yet the things I desired were not accomplished in his life. Listen to the messengers, but do not hold men's persons in admiration. For many whom I shall anoint mightily, with signs and miracles, shall become lifted up and shall fall by the wayside. I do not this willingly; I have made provision that they might stand. I call many into this ministry, and equip them; but remember that many shall fall. They shall be like bright lights, and the people shall delight in them. But they shall be taken over by deceiving spirits and shall lead many of My people astray.��Hearken diligently concerning these things, for in the last days shall come seducing spirits that shall turn many of My anointed ones away. Many shall fall through divers lusts, and because of sin abounding. But if you will seek Me diligently I will put My Spirit within you.

For the things that are written shall indeed be made manifest. There shall come deceivers among My people in increasing numbers, who shall speak forth the truth and shall gain the favor of the people. For the people shall examine the Scriptures and say, "What these men say is true." Then when they have gained the hearts of the people, then and THEN ONLY shall they bring out these wrong doctrines. Therefore, I say that you should not give your hearts to men, nor hold people's persons in admiration. For by these very persons shall Satan enter into My people. WATCH FOR SEDUCERS. Do you think a seducer will brandish a new heresy and flaunt it before the people? He will speak the words of righteousness and truth, and will appear as a minister of light, declaring the Word. The people's hearts shall be won. Then, when the hearts are won, they will bring out their doctrines, and the people shall be deceived. The people shall say, "Did he not speak thus and thus? And did we not examine it from the Word? Therefore he is a minister of righteousness.��This that he has now spoken we do not see in the Word, but it must be right, for the other things he spoke were true."��Be not deceived. For the deceiver will first work to gain the hearts of many, and then shall bring forth his insidious doctrines. You cannot discern those who are of Me and those who are not of Me when they start to preach. But seek Me constantly, and then when these doctrines are brought out you shall have a witness in your heart that these are not of Me. Fear not, for I have warned you. Many will be deceived. But if you walk in holiness and uprightness before the Lord, your eyes shall be open and the Lord will protect you. If you will constantly look unto the Lord you will know when the doctrine changes, and will not be brought into it. If your heart is right I will keep you; and if you will look constantly to Me I will uphold you.��The minister of righteousness shall be on this wise -- his life shall agree with the Word, and his lips shall give forth that which is wholly true, and it will be no mixture. When the mixture appears then you will know he is not a minister of righteousness. The deceivers speak first the truth and then error, to cover their own sins which they love. Therefore I exhort and command you to study the Scriptures relative to seducing spirits, for this is one of the great dangers of these last days.��I desire you to be firmly established in My Word and not in the personalities of men, that you will not be moved as so many shall be moved. I would keep you in the paths of righteousness.
