Beatitudes Bible Study Part 15: Beware of False Prophets

False prophets are not something that is new; Jesus is warning us to be cautious of them, they have been around since the garden of Eden, in the form of a snake. False prophets are not a new concept; they are smooth speakers, they are pleasing or likeable individuals, popular, and seek fame for themselves. We will know them by the fruits of their labor. God gives His children the gift of wise discernment. If we are unsure of an individual, we should pray and seek confirmation from God. But most of the time, that instinct one may get when meeting someone, most likely could be the Holy Spirit warning that your spirit and their spirit are not united the same with the Holy Spirit.

Know Them By Their Fruits

Some false teachers or prophets may be so smooth that it may take a while to recognize their true identity. What is their true desire behind what they teach or preach? Is there a message one that is aligned with God’s Word, or is it slightly changed or interpreted to pervert it into a message that would be aligned with their own desires? A true teacher will want the best for other individuals; they do not seek fame or glory, they have a desire to shine a light on Jesus Christ, and not of themselves.

Beatitudes Bible Study Part 14: Enter The Strait Gate

“Jesus instructs us not to conform to the world. When one trusts in Jesus Christ through repentance, they are a new creature. This does not mean we are made imperfect; we still have fleshly desires, but those are pushed away the closer we come into fellowship with God through Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is our guide, our conscience that warns us from right or wrong.

The path to destruction is the one we are on when we are born; the destruction of sin is a path we are already walking. Jesus is the narrow way; He is the only way to heaven that gives us eternal life through the redemption of our sins. This is not a reaction to what we have done, but what Jesus has done! “

Beatitudes Bible Study Part 13: Better Than I Deserve

Reflecting on the thought of how great God is, one may think He would not want to be bothered with our day-to-day happenings of everyday average ebb and flow of an ordinary day. This is where we are sadly mistaken! To have clear communication with a friend or loved one, we must stay in contact with them; doing so helps us to know them better. The relationship between our Heavenly Father and us should be a top priority.

Beatitudes Bible Study Part 12: Don’t Cast Pearls To Swine

Jesus often speaks in parables. When we look at what a pearl represents, it’s more than just an ornament for beautiful jewelry. There are some big representations here when Jesus speaks of pearls, dogs, and swine. Jesus warns not to give that which is holy unto dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine.

Beatitudes Bible Study Part 11: Judge Not

How much clearer can Jesus be to us? Let us not judge others so that we may not be judged ourselves. Have you ever caught yourself scrunching your nose at someone or their situation? I have, not proud of it, but then God gently nudged me like He always does to get me out of the fleshly thought path. He reminds me that I was not in a good place with God, I still have my days, I’m nowhere near perfect, but I’m perfectly IMPERFECT! I’m a work in progress, and I can humbly admit this, as we all should!
