How can we discern between messages that are rooted in God’s truth and those tha###

Bread of Heaven/Word of Life/ Jesus is the word of God Ezekiel 12:24: For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations among the people of Israel. Extended Explanation: In Ezekiel 12:24, God declares that He will put an end to the false prophets and diviners who misled the people of Israel with empty promises and deceptive visions. These individuals claimed to speak for God but offered only lies, often giving the people a false sense of security. Their messages were not rooted in God’s truth but in their own desires to gain influence or approval. God’s statement is both a judgment on the false prophets and a promise of His sovereignty. By silencing these voices, God makes it clear that only His Word will stand. This verse is a strong reminder that God’s truth cannot be distorted or replaced by human inventions without consequences. Historical Context: During Ezekiel’s time, false prophets were a significant problem in Israel. These individuals contradicted the warnings of genuine prophets like Ezekiel and Jeremiah by proclaiming peace and prosperity when judgment was imminent. They played a role in the spiritual downfall of the nation, encouraging people to continue in their rebellion against God. The “flattering divinations” mentioned in the verse refer to practices that involved fortune-telling or predicting favorable outcomes to gain the favor of the people or political leaders. These messages were appealing but ultimately deceptive, as they ignored God’s warnings and led the people further from Him. Theological Implications: This verse highlights the importance of discerning truth from falsehood. God takes seriously the responsibility of those who claim to speak on His behalf, and He will not tolerate those who misrepresent Him. The verse also underscores God’s authority over His Word and His commitment to protecting His people from deception. It reminds us that God’s truth is unchanging and trustworthy, standing in contrast to the lies and distortions of false prophets. Literary Analysis: The contrast in this verse is striking: “false visions” and “flattering divinations” are set against the backdrop of God’s promise to end such practices. The definitive language-“there will be no more”-emphasizes God’s control and the certainty of His judgment on these deceptive practices. The imagery of “false visions” suggests illusions or empty promises that offer no real substance, while “flattering divinations” conveys the idea of manipulative words designed to please rather than to instruct or correct. These phrases highlight the contrast between human deception and divine truth. Relevant Biblical Cross-References: Jeremiah 14:14: God speaks against false prophets who deliver messages not from Him but from their own imaginations. Deuteronomy 18:20-22: A warning about false prophets and the criteria for identifying them. Matthew 7:15: Jesus warns about false prophets who come in sheep’s clothing but are inwardly ravenous wolves. 2 Timothy 4:3-4: Paul warns that people will turn away from sound doctrine and seek out teachers who say what they want to hear. What This Verse Means for Today’s Christian: For Christians today, Ezekiel 12:24 is a reminder to seek and trust in God’s Word rather than the opinions of those who claim to speak for Him without biblical backing. It challenges us to be discerning about the messages we hear, ensuring they align with Scripture and reflect God’s truth. This verse also encourages us to evaluate the motives behind messages that seem too good to be true. Are they rooted in God’s truth, or are they designed to flatter or please? How This Verse Relates to a Loving God: God’s decision to end false visions and flattering divinations reflects His love and care for His people. Deception leads to destruction, and God’s judgment on these practices is meant to protect His people from harm. By silencing false prophets, God ensures that His truth is heard and that His people have a chance to return to Him. This verse also shows God’s commitment to justice. He will not allow lies and manipulations to go unchecked, especially when they lead His people away from Him. How This Verse Connects to Jesus Christ: Ezekiel 12:24 points to Jesus as the ultimate truth and fulfillment of God’s promises. While false prophets offered empty visions, Jesus came as the Word made flesh (John 1:14), embodying the fullness of God’s truth and grace. Jesus warned against false prophets and proclaimed Himself as the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus provided a clear and trustworthy revelation of God’s character and plan for salvation, standing in stark contrast to the deception of false teachers. Questions for Reflection and Discussion: How can we discern between messages that are rooted in God’s truth and those that are merely flattering or deceptive? Are there areas in our life where we might be tempted to listen to what pleases us rather than what is true? What does this verse teach us about the importance of aligning our beliefs and actions with Scripture? How does Jesus’ example as the ultimate revelation of God’s truth encourage us to trust in Him? In what ways can we help others recognize and avoid the dangers of false teachings? Ezekiel 12:24 challenges us to remain grounded in God’s truth, rejecting the empty promises of falsehood and embracing the certainty of His Word. It points us to Jesus Christ, the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises, who leads us in truth and life. Prayer for ###: “Jesus told him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” Praying through John 14:6: Our Prayer: Loving Father, familiarity with Scripture has sometimes prevented us from seeing the astonishing truth behind so much of Your Word. Open our understanding to grasp, believe and act on these simple yet profound truths. In Jesus’ name we pray, AMEN.

To discern between messages rooted in God's truth and those that are merely flattering or deceptive, we must rely on the guidance of the Holy Spirit and a thorough knowledge of God's Word. The Bible warns us that false prophets and teachers will arise, attempting to lead us astray with appealing but empty words. As it is written in Ezekiel 12:24, "For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations among the people of Israel." God Himself declares that He will put an end to these deceptions, underscoring the importance of aligning our beliefs with His unchanging truth.

The Scriptures provide clear criteria for identifying false prophets. In Deuteronomy 18:20-22, we are warned, "But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die. If you say in your heart, 'How shall we know the word which Yahweh has not spoken?' When a prophet speaks in Yahweh's name, if the thing doesn't follow, nor happen, that is the thing which Yahweh has not spoken: the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you shall not be afraid of him." Additionally, Jesus Himself cautioned, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves" (Matthew 7:15).

To apply this wisdom to our daily lives, we must evaluate the messages we hear against the standard of God's Word. We must search the Scriptures to check the validity of teachings and avoid the temptation to listen only to what pleases us. We should ask ourselves whether the messages we hear are rooted in God's truth or designed merely to flatter and deceive. As Paul warned Timothy, "For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts" (2 Timothy 4:3).

This discernment is crucial because God takes the responsibility of those who claim to speak on His behalf very seriously. He will not tolerate misrepresentation. By silencing false prophets, God ensures that His truth is heard and that His people have the opportunity to return to Him. This reflects His love and commitment to protecting His people from deception.

Ezekiel 12:24 points us ultimately to Jesus Christ, the embodiment of God's truth and grace. Jesus came as the Word made flesh, revealing the fullness of God's character and plan for salvation. He warned against false prophets and declared Himself as the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus provided a clear and trustworthy revelation of God, standing in stark contrast to the deceptions of false teachers.

Let us pray:

Loving Father, we come before You seeking Your guidance and wisdom. Help us to discern between the messages that are rooted in Your truth and those that are merely flattering or deceptive. Give us the courage to evaluate the teachings we hear and the humility to align our beliefs with Your Word. Protect us from the temptation to listen only to what pleases us, and help us to recognize and avoid the dangers of false teachings.

We thank You for sending Jesus Christ, the ultimate revelation of Your truth and grace. Through His life, death, and resurrection, He has shown us the way to eternal life. Help us to follow Him faithfully, trusting in His promises and rejecting the empty words of false prophets.

In Jesus' name, we pray for Your Holy Spirit to guide us and give us the wisdom to discern Your truth. Help us to be a light to others, sharing the good news of Your love and salvation. May we always seek Your will and live according to Your Word.

We thank You for the guidance You provide through the Scriptures, which reveal Your character and plan for our lives. We ask these things in the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to You and eternal life. By Jesus we can be saved and only through Him can we be saved. Amen.

In our reflections and discussions, let us consider how we can help others recognize and avoid the dangers of false teachings. By remaining grounded in God's truth, we can embrace the certainty of His Word and the life-giving message of Jesus Christ.

We echo the sentiment of the previous response, emphasizing the importance of discernment in these matters. As we navigate through life, it's crucial to align our beliefs and actions with God's unchanging truth. Let's remember that God takes seriously the responsibility of those who claim to speak on His behalf. He will not tolerate misrepresentation, and by silencing false prophets, He ensures that His truth is heard.

He is the ultimate truth and the way to the Father. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus provided a clear and trustworthy revelation of God, standing in stark contrast to the deceptions of false teachers.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, help us to discern between messages that are rooted in Your truth and those that are merely flattering or deceptive. Give us wisdom to evaluate the teachings we hear and the humility to align our beliefs with Your Word.

Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.
