God's Plumb Line - The Word of God
One just has to do a little reading online and realize that
it is imperative that we abide in Jesus with ever increasing diligence out of
our love for Him alone. I was concerned
at things that I read today and realized that there is great deception on many
fronts. Except man know the Word of God
he is going to be deceived. We
cannot/must not rely on dreams and visions, but in His Word and it is out of
relationship with Jesus alone that these other experiences happen.
I am all for dreams and visions of the Lord. All for God speaking to His people and our
seeing the supernatural works of God as in the books of Acts. What I am not for and will speak out against
is people getting involved in things that are contrary to His Word and
stumbling blocks for others.
We are living in a time when sin is rampant, deception is
ever increasing and a great falling away is taking place. We need to know His voice out of relationship
with Him. Jesus alone is the author and
finisher of our faith. Do not put your hope
in men but in the Lord. Pray for the
discerning of spirits and that you will know the moving of God and that He will
teach you and bring all things to your remembrance.
Always judge the prophetic word and be in the Word daily so
that you are not deceived. Much is
spoken that is a counterfeit and unless you clearly hear Me, wait and put it on
the back burner to be prayed over and discerned. Guard against following big names and follow
Me. There are many that will become
embroiled in following organizations but I said, follow Me. Christ alone is your plumb line in this
world. He is the standard and the Word
of God. Put My Word first and spend time
in it, rather than seeking supernatural experiences. It is out of relationship with My Word that
any other experience must flow. The Word
of God will abide forever, follow Me and I will teach you and lead you into all
truth.
Man's experiences are many, and they tout their horn but it
is My Word that must have the preeminence.
It is not the glitter and glory of this world that will stand. Katrina was My judgment. The Mardi Gras was the most sinful thing
happening and it fed this city rampant sin regularly. I am saying, that sin will not be
tolerated. It will not be accepted among
those that bear My name but is to be repented of daily at the moment you
realize you have sinned.
What you hear from God is as valid as any big time prophet
with a name. Do not follow them but
follow Me for I am the Lord and the prophets, my servants. Many false prophets are abounding, pray to
discern. Leave all to Me and pray, for I
will expose the works of darkness. There
is a river of information flowing and mans knowledge, but not His love for Me,
has increased. There is nothing new
under the sun and My Word is more up to date than any news cast. Oh that my people would spend time with
Me. Men and women of prayer are
needed. It is time to sort out that
which you believe. The confusion and
muddle in the minds of many would be cleared quickly if they spent but a short
time in My Word. Voices are
speaking. Many voices are calling out
hear Me. I say to you, hear the Word of
the Lord. Hear Me when I speak to you
through My Word. Hear Me, the Lord your
God and let My still small voice speak.
The world is like a vacuum sucking in all that will turn to it and if
you do not guard your mind in My Word many of you will be forever taking in by
its lure. It is beckoning and calling
and you are in this world but not of it.
You are to be a separate people, separated unto Me. Always abounding in My Word and work. You are not to fellowship with the world but
with those of like precious faith but are to be a witness for Me. You must turn your back on the world for
those that love the world do not have the love of the Father in them. All that is of the world, the lust of the
eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life are not of Me. I am calling My children, come out of the
world, the hour is late, the deception ever deepening and you need Me. The cross is where you began, stay close to
the cross. I died and paid the price in
full being raised from the dead for you.
Take up your cross daily and follow Me.
Thus he showed me: and, behold, the LORD stood on a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. Amos 7:7
