you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the LORD your God is testing you to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.  Deuteronomy 13:3

Jesus our Lord said “For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. “ (Matthew 24:24) Not just some but Many false teachers will come into the world and they will deceive even those who are elect! Are you deceived? Have you passed the test?

There are many false teachers and false pastors who are preaching heresies and blasphemies from the pulpits of God’s houses, however what is the response from most of the “Church”? Many have embraced these  false teachings, many have rejoiced over hearing words that tickle their ears, however what you have done is brought yourself under the judgement of God!

Let those who have ears hear! (Matthew 13:9) Many have no problem with the false teacher giving a blasphemous message, why? Because they are not Born Again! (John 3:3) They don’t have the Holy Spirit to discern the Word of God! The natural man doe not receive the things of the Spirit of God (1 Corinthians 2:14) The unregenerated person does not have any issue with the abominations preached from the pulpit, in fact they delight over the blasphemies, they celebrate over the heresies in the name of Christianity!

Why would God allow this? “The Lord your God is testing You”! (Deuteronomy 13:3) Have you passed the test? The majority have failed, narrow is the way to life and very few will find it! (Matthew 7:14) Why do I care? Why do I spend so much time calling out false teachers? Because I love The Lord my God with all my heart  and soul! Do you truly love The Lord God with all your heart? If so, then why would you approve of someone blaspheming His holy name?

Do not believe every spirit, but Test the Spirits, whether they are from God , many false prophets have gone into the world (1 John 4:1) Many buildings that are being called “Churches” are flooded with false prophets and teachers, do not believe them! Did you test them? Did you verify their word is true by the Word of God?

Many just blindly follow, like sheep being led to a slaughter! Wake Up Church! Wake Up Sleeper! Have you passed the test? Do you truly have faith in Christ? Do you really love The Lord God with all your heart? Then why does your fruit testify otherwise? Does a real sheep follow a hireling? No the sheep hear His voice , the Good Shepherd knows them, and they follow him! (John 10:27) 

Don’t fail the test brother or sister, don’t tolerate the words of the devil, even though they are disguised as an angel of light, (2 Corinthians 11:14) Flee from evil, Flee from sin, Flee from the false teachers because you love The Lord your God and worship him only, Amen!

He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.  Matthew 13:11

Why did Jesus speak in parables? The response to this question will demonstrate the condition of your heart! You might ask how? Because Jesus spoke the mysteries of the Kingdom of God in parables, so to the unregenerated world, they make no sense. This is why the world rejects The Bible as the Word of God, because it can’t possibly understand the Word of God without the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:14)

As The Lord said to His disciples “Because it has been given to you to know” The mysteries of God have been revealed and given to you, so why do many not understand or even care? What was the response of the disciples? It says “the disciples came to Jesus and asked him” (v10) What was the response from the rest of the crowd? They went about their day, eating and drinking and being merry. They had no desire to the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, do you?

This is why Jesus revealed when the Sower (preacher) sows (preaches) the seed (the Word of God) whether or not there are roots planted depends on the condition of the hearers heart. Some fall to the wayside being deceived, some fall on rocky soil, the heart is to hard to penetrate, others the word is choked out by the cares of this world. They all heard the same seed, the gospel of Jesus Christ, the word that has the power to save (Romans 1:16) But would they allow the word to penetrate their hearts?

The other group did have a heart for God, they received the word and became fruitful for the Kingdom of God. They produced fruits of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5) some produces more harvest than others, yet they are all working for Christ and His Kingdom! But it all started with them having a heart and ears to hear the Word of God, The Word that is alive and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, that will pierce the heart and mind (Hebrews 4:12)

Jesus said “Let those who have ears , let them hear” (v9) Are you listening to the voice of God? Are you allowing your heart to be penetrated by the Word? The Holy Spirit said “If you hear Jesus calling today, don’t harden your hearts “(Hebrew 3:15) Do you hear Jesus calling you today? Do you have ears to hear the voice of God? Is your heart ready for the gospel message to take root? They mysteries of the Kingdom have been given to you! Bear fruit by the Holy Spirit in Jesus name! Amen!
