Not Everything That's Preached Is From God


“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;" It’s interesting in the day in which we live how many of our beliefs and doctrines are being undermined by the seducing voices of demons. You might say, well how can demons affect my beliefs? They speak through men. The above verse is written to warn us to be careful in this world of the many lies out there, so that we don’t pick up something that will cause us to depart from our faith in God's Word. Satan’s cohorts are everywhere, undermining many of the Bibles teachings, concerning our separation from sin, attendance and membership in the local church, or even to the point of taking lightly fornication, gambling, gossiping, backbiting, drunkenness, or the illegal use of drugs, etc. Christian, it’s just as wrong to add to the Word, as it is to take from it. The Holy Spirit’s voice will never take you in the direction of sin, nor will it add some new teaching to God's Word. Be careful when you hear a voice that tells you that something is ok, when God says it's not. Be careful out there, if it's not in agreement with God's Word, it's demonic !
