He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. John 7:18

Determining whether a preacher is false or not is easy to do. Are they trying to glorify themselves or are they glorifying Jesus Christ? We see a lot of false teachings in Christianity today, the prosperity gospel is a classic example. Mega Church preachers making millions of dollars , promoting themselves and books, did Jesus do any of this? Jesus was preparing us for Gods Kingdom not to live as millionaires in this world. We are called to be separated of this world not become a part of it!

So Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me. John 7:16

Jesus is the Living Word, the Torah that became Flesh! Jesus teachings are not contradictory to the Old Testament, Jesus is the Old Testament. Jesus brought clarification and revelation to existing teachings of prophets that many never understood. These were not new teachings, they were the same God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1

The Living Word is Jesus Christ, the Word became Flesh (John 1:14) Seek the glory of God our Father and you will speak truth of the Holy Spirit. When we seek our own glory or gain, then we fail Gods glory and seek to glorify ourselves

Preach the truth of Jesus Christ, Preach the Living Word of God, not our will but Gods will Amen!

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9

Everyone is always trying to outsmart God, everyone is trying to come up with ideas and theories of how we came into existence without his presence. The fact is while humanity has tried for thousands of years, we completely failed and when we pretend to know all the answers we look like complete fools

Gods thoughts and ways are so above our understanding, our greatest idea is a vapor in the wind. How can God speak everything into existence? How can One God be the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? How can the stars and planets hang from nothingness and be in complete order with each other? When we are being completely honest, then we can fully accept the evidence of our Creators existence

However many people want to be like Satan (Lucifer) who declared “I will make myself like God” (Isaiah 14) We reject our Creator, we reject our Savior, we reject Truth, because it doesn’t fit into our agenda. Instead of being in awe and obedience to our Creator, we want to worship ourselves!

But if you turn to God , he has wisdom beyond our comprehension. The Wonderful Counselor can not only bring you understanding and peace, but also gives you salvation for your soul in Jesus Name Amen!

So Jesus said to the twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do you?” John 6:67

After Jesus gave the crowds difficult teachings , many left Christ because they couldn’t handle either the truth or the obedience of truly being a Christian. So Jesus gave his hand picked disciples an opportunity also to leave or discuss their thoughts.

Jesus is expressing the Free Will God has given all of us. Many atheists or skeptics will argue that God doesn’t grant Free Will , however Jesus is clearly offering this , not only to his disciples but everyone. We have a choice whether we want to be in Gods presence or not. God doesn’t force us to do anything!

Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life. “We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God.” John 6:68-69

Despite all the people falling away from their faith and despite the difficult teachings  from Jesus, Peter (who’s name means Rock) would not waver in his faith. He knew that Jesus was the Truth, Life, and Way and the only salvation

You have a choice also! Which will you choose, eternal life with God or total separation from God? You cant have both! Choose wisely because eternity is a long time to be wrong!
