Hello everyone, The truth seeker is at it again, getting the people to see what they believe.
Over the years i have heard many people claiming to be teachers of the Word of GOD Almighty. The so called teachers are from different religions, catholic, baptist,presbyterian, methodist, anglican and all of the other religious sections of 'christianity'. Most tell stories about family, or experiences they have encountered;Some tell jokes, while others use sports, movies or a host of OTHER ways to get the attention of the people.Most of these SELF professed teachers stir the EMOTIONS of the sheeple in order to MANIPULATE them to think they are actually hearing the Word of GOD Almighty, OR to get them to give more.
When i read the Word of GOD Almighty i do not read of Messiah or His LEARNERS appealing to the emotions of the people, WHY.The emotions cannot be CONVICTED/Convinced of who GOD Almighty is,nor can they bring a person to REPENT(change the mind) about GOD Almighty.
When a person claims to be a teacher of the Word of GOD Almighty lets be mindful to listen carefully to what is being said, then take notice to see how the people react, are they stirred in their emotions, smiling, telling jokes, OR are they thinking, asking questions, checking the Word against what was spoken.
For sure. The modern mind, that follows God, has been replaced by the flittering emotions. "Christians" are now claiming to "experience God" through their emotions, feelings, dreams, meditatative prayers and the voices they hear. They believe the Holy Spirit interacts with them this way. Little do they realize, these methods are common with and promoted by psychics, cults, witch doctor practitioners, voodoo magicians, sorcerers, shamanism and false Christianity. None of these even proximate communing with the Holy Spirit. The Bible makes it clear--being filled with the Holy Spirit is to be filled with God's Written Word. **This** is how the Holy Spirit "speaks". If anyone wants to hear God speak--read His Written Word, Genesis to Revelation!
Don't want to get too far off topic, but In the early days of Revelation, when God's Word, the Old and New Testaments were being written, God confirmed his Written and Verbal Revelation by giving his prophets the power to work mighty miracles and to have dreams that predicted furture events. Some of these predictions were short range and easily fulfilled. These fulfilled predictions clearly afforded the prophet credibility and helped to confirm the proclamation of other long range prophecy. NO OTHER religion could do or had ever done ANY of these things! No other other person ever healed 100% of the people coming to him for healing EXCEPT Jesus and those he temporarily empowered. Of course, there have been many imitations throughout history. These are the false prophets easily fooling the emotionally gullible. False teachers today are likewise characterized by their inability to heal all diseases and all infirmities instantaneously and completely. So they produce various false miracles like psychosomatic healings. They parade these out as miraculous. Yet their miracles are clearly false and their dreams amount to hit and miss false predictions which hardly come true or at best partially true!! For living examples, look how "Christians" imitate the world of psychics and voodoo magicians, just watch TBN and CBN!

Matthew 24:35: Jesus says, Heaven and earth will pass away, but **MY WORDS WILL NEVER PASS AWAY**!"
I John 2:3-5: We know we have come to know Him {Jesus} if we obey His commands. The man who says, "I know Him," but does not do what He commands is a liar and the truth is not in him. But if anyone **OBEYS HIS WORD**, God's love is truly made complete in him!

smiling, telling jokes, OR are they thinking, asking questions, checking the Word against what was spoken.
