Know the Difference When Verbiage Rings Similar


There exists an unwavering distinction between the voice of God and that of others who may speak. In this season God is requiring His sheep to fully align themselves with His voice, which we adamantly know (see John 10:27). As the days get uglier and spirits begin to arise with boldness, think it not strange when you notice the most “religious” people speaking out of turn in your presence. Those people whom you always considered to be "one with" the Father. Be not seduced by words that merely “sound good”. But, check their reference and origination.

Words have only two originations and that is either from the Throne of Grace or from a dry place. Know the difference. Simply ask God if this is a word for you, sent by Him, and wait for a confirming response. What believers fail to realize is that a “good word” spoken “out of season”, or at the wrong time, resides outside of the will of God. Therefore, be mindful of what you speak, as well as what you receive from others. Accordingly, I have become extremely selective of what I allow to enter my ear gates because everyone is not to feed you. Understand that no matter how “righteous sounding” someone may be test their words against God’s final authority. Some may view your delayed reception of their words as rude, rebellious, or ungodly. But, know that it is ultimately YOU who is in charge of guarding your ear and eye gates.

Know and fully comprehend the promises and utterances of God by delving into His word. Therefore, you will be less likely to fall for shenanigan fed okie-doke. Don’t believe everything you hear until you’ve gotten clearance from the King of kings. His Word reigns supreme and it should be His that you’re most receptive to. God’s Word is all the wisdom you need despite popular belief! So, stop letting everyone give you their two-cents. Be selective regardless of the chattering backlash!
