RECOGNIZING WHEN IT'S FROM GOD
How to better know when something is from “GOD THE FATHER” and not man.
I would like to share five tips that PAPA GOD gave to me years ago in my early walk on this journey to ensure I knew it was from HIM. (Five Truths)
It will EDIFY, GLORIFY, MAGNIFY, WIN TO CHRIST or GIVE CONFIRMATION.
“To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the Body of CHRIST."
Edify
To construct, build up or establish.
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
If anyone says they have a word for you from GOD and it’s not building you up for CHRIST’S sake or teaching you more about GOD’S Love. (Be cautious “Food for thought”).
Glorify
Praise or Honor someone to an extreme degree.
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.
If anyone presents themselves as a person of GOD with titles of Bishop, Pastor, Priest, Preacher, Reverend, Imam, or any other Religious leader telling you anything that gives them the Glory over GOD, especially those who says “I” over “HIM” GOD, (Be cautious “Food for Thought”).
Magnify
Make (something) appear larger than it is.
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Now no one is Bigger than GOD HIMSELF and anyone that has titles and says they represent GOD, but place more focus on themselves, be cautious (“Food for Thought”)
Win to CHRIST
Introducing people to the knowledge that GOD sent HIS Only Begotten SON JESUS to everyone who will believe and receive the free Gift of Everlasting Life.
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in CHRIST JESUS”
Romans 8:1
For GOD so loved the world, that HE gave HIS only SON, that whoever believes in HIM should not perish but have eternal life.
Romans 8:1
Now if anyone is judging and condemning you instead of letting you know that GOD Loves you in spite of the things we all do that are not pleasing in his sight and if they are not teaching and reminding you that HE will always stand ready to forgive us time after time. (Be cautious “Food for Thought”).
Give Confirmation
The action of confirming something.
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
John 20:31
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Now if someone is telling you anything different. ( Be cautious “Food for Thought)
To sum everything up GOD tells us in HIS Word 1st John 4:1
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of GOD”: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
We encourage everyone to stay watchful and prayerful and get to know GOD for oneself through HIS Word. Prayer and just talking to HIM like you would anyone you are trying to get to know. The more time you spend with HIM, the more you will learn to hear HIS voice. “MY sheep hear MY Voice, and I know them, and they follow ME”.
We pray this helps you to learn and recognize the difference when it’s from GOD versus mankind
