Matthew 24:10-12
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,
At a time when there is an increase of wickedness, we have witnessed the love of most people become cold. There is that growing mistrust because of betrayal and hatred for each other. Truthfulness is visibly lacking. People do not know who they should trust and not trust. In the first place, why do people have to place their trust on fellow man, when they can place their trust in God. God cannot be seen, so it is safer for them to place their trust in man. If life is just about survival on earth, then it will be okay to trust in fellow man, but life isn't just about survival. What is it then?
Ecclesiastes 3:11
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
Life is about eternity. This is what many are not aware of. Many just choose to live a temporal life, not wanting to know where we each one of us are eventually headed to. There is that personal freedom of choice deep inside of us, even though we do not admit it openly, for fear of persecution of men. Our eyes are narrowly focused unto fellow man because we cannot see God. Yes, I admit it is not easy to see God but it is easier to claim that you have seen God. If we have seen God we would not behave in the same way we do today. So, we take a lousy short-cut to life. We just trust anyone who claims that they have seen or heard from God. The problem here is we can never see or hear from God until He wants to reveal Himself to us. So it is not about seeing or hearing God but about believing in Him even though you do not get a chance to see or hear Him.
John 20:27-29
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
When it comes to God, if you only believe when you see, then there is a possiblity of you seeing the wrong thing for the right one. One can believe in God even without having the need to see Him first for this is faith in God. You do not have to see the like of Him to believe in Him. Some still insist on seeing the like of Him to believe in Him. This won't be necessary if you have the faith of God in you. In this way, you would not be easily deceived.
In fact, this is how many false prophets will appear suddenly. This unbelief of God is from the sinful nature of the Devil in you. The Devil who has sowed this unbelief through his sinful nature in you, will introduce these short-cuts to you. These short-cuts are the false prophets.You do not need to seek God yourself but you can go through these false prophets who are his agents to destroy your faith in God
Hebrews 11:1
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Through your faith in Christ, you should be hoping for full Christformation in you. You must be certian that when you believe in Him, you will be filled with Him in everway so that God the Father will be pleased with you. For this to occur in you, you will have to obey God the Holy Spirit who dwells in you and not just anyone who claims to be a prophet of God. This is God's provision for you- God the Holy Spirit to lead you to full Christformation. Prophets of God are there but they too trust in God the Holy Spirit to lead them on earth. They do nothing on their own.
Luke 11:13
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
Always remember that the five-fold ministers of God are led by God the Holy Spirit to assist you with Christformation in you to its fullest. If that doesn't occur in you and something else strange or worldly is being introduced to you, WATCH-OUT! for they haven't heard from the Great Shepherd of God's flock-The Lord Jesus Christ and this could spell danger for your faith in Christ that should result with full Christformation in you. You must be led by God the Holy Spirit to be watchful and careful of the spirit of the False Prophet.
Revelation 16:12-14
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East. Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty
