False Prophets

 Scripture:

“Do not listen to the false prophets who keep telling you, ‘The king of Babylon will not conquer you.’ They are liars.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭27‬:‭14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

God was speaking through Jeremiah and telling all the nations they would have to submit to the king of Babylon. There apparently were other prophets who were saying it would never happen and that the king of Babylon wouldn’t conquer them. Jeremiah calls them liars and says not to listen to them.

Application:

We need to be cautious who we listen to. Today, there are thousands of voices competing for our listening. We need to be very sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit so we know what He is saying at all times. There are those who tell us only what we want to hear and not what God is saying. We must steer clear of them and listen for the voice of God for ourselves. 

Prayer:

Lord, give me discernment to know what is of You and what is not. So many today are sharing prophetic words about Israel, the Middle East, wars, etc. I want to know Your voice. Don’t let me be led astray by something that sounds good and right, but is not You. Keep my ears and eyes open to know what You are speaking and doing in the earth. Let me speak with accuracy what You want me to say to Your people.

Your Son,

Jeff
