Beware of false prophets

‘Watch out for the kind of Torah-teachers that like to walk around in robes and be greeted deferentially in the marketplaces, the kind that like to have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets, the kind that swallow up widow’s houses while making a show of davening(prayers) at great length. their punishment will be all the worse!”
Luke 20:46-47 CJB

This is going on even today, there are pious Bible teachers out there who feed off the folks! Using their pulpits to fleece people out of finances to do trips, have nice houses and to be elevated in public! Yeshua is warning us to be on the watch and also comforting us that He will deal with these people! What we need to do is be watching and praying so we can avoid these people!

“Beware of false prophets! They come to you wearing sheep’s clothing, but underneath they are hungry wolves!”
Matthew 7:15 CJB

This is a strong warning to us from Yeshua, just because a ministry, organization or preachers look good and godly, be careful, they could be wolves! How do we know? By studying His Word and seeing if they truly follow scripture!

“Your Word is a lamp for my foot and light on my path.”
Psalm 119:105 CJB

Today, if you want to expose false teachers, then shine the light of God’s Word on them!
Have a blessed day walking in the light of Adonai!

Seek Adonai

“For the days are coming upon you when your enemies will set up a barricade around you, encircle you, hem you in on every side.”
Luke 19:43 CJB

Just like Jerusalem was surrounded by her enemies in A.D. 70 and as Israel is surround by her enemies today! We as believers can feel the same way as our enemies surround us! Understand in both cases the enemies of Israel and us are also the enemies of God and He has it all covered! So don’t worry!

“Haven’t I ordered you, ‘Be strong, be bold’? So don’t be afraid or downhearted, because Adonai your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 CJB

Like Joshua, we need to be strong, bold and courageous as we go out into the world! Remember, God is always with us wherever we go especially when we are surrounded! So what do we do? Seek Adonai!

“When you seek Me and pray to Me, I will listen to you.”
Jeremiah 29:12 CJB

What comforting words that when we seek God and pray to Him, He doesn’t only hear us, He answers us!
Have a blessed day looking to Adonai, not the enemies that surround us!

Serve

“The Parush (Pharisee) stood and prayed to himself, O God! I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity-greedy, dishonest, immoral, or like this tax-collector!”
Luke 18:11 CJB

When we compare ourselves to someone else, thinking we are somehow better, we become like this Pharisee, we just end up praying to ourselves!

“Adonai detests all those with proud hearts; be assured that they will not go unpunished.”
Proverbs 16:5 CJB

We really need to be careful of comparing ourselves to others, God wants us to be focused on Him and not pointing out the sins of other people, remember we have enough of our own to deal with!

“Serve Adonai with fear; rejoice, but with trembling.”
Psalm 2:11 CJB

We need to be all about serving God and walking in His ways the best we can! We should fear walking through life without Him!
Have a blessed day seeking and walking with God!

Are you ready?

“Likewise, as it was in the time of Lot-people ate and drank, bought and sold, planted and built; but the day Lot left S’dom (Sodom), fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.”
Luke 17:28-29 CJB

Here we see that Yeshua is being asked when He will return, so too people ask the same question today! When are you coming back? The answer is still the same: when you least expect it! But we can see and know the seasons that it could be anytime!

“Level the path for your feet, let all your ways be properly prepared; then deviate neither right nor left; and keep your foot far from evil.”
Proverbs 4:26-27 CJB

We always need to be on guard for the coming of Adonai! No one know when He is coming, but we all know ten out of ten people will die! And the question is and always has been, ARE YOU READY!

“Therefore you too must always be ready, for the Son of Man will come when you are not expecting Him.”
Matthew 24:44 CJB

We see all around us signs that point to the coming of Adonai! The question is are we ready, because it could happen at any moment, whether we go up all together or at our individual appointed time, but we all have an appointed time! So let’s be ready to see Adonai!
Have a blessed day getting ready!
