2 Corinthians 11:13-14
“For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.”
I have to confess that back when I was a police officer, our patrol cars were much different than modern day patrol officers’ experience. For one thing we had analog radios. I really am not sure what that means, but during certain times of the year and when conditions were right, we had radio skips.
Let me explain that I was serving in Nampa, Idaho. Each car had a numeric designation and when a call came into the Control Center our car number was called to respond to the call. It is hard to believe, but the patrol cars in Lakeland, Florida―thousands of miles away had exactly the same numbers for their patrol cars. Some calls were very confusing, but when a call came to check out an alligator in someone’s yard we figured it was a Florida call and not one of ours.
Perhaps you can guess where I am going with this illustration from a spiritual point of view. There are many religious sounding voices out there that appear to be one thing, but a closer examination will show that they are not in accordance with God’s Word.
To determine if something is spiritually true or not, we must inquire of the Lord and seek to discover from the Bible what is true and what is false. Dare I say it―there are some so-called Bible study groups that are nothing but gossip sessions and/or spending time reading what someone else has to say about a spiritual issue. Be suspicious! Be very suspicious! You may be receiving a call from the wrong “dispatcher”!
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
