John 10: 23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. 24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, how long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and you believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
The study, and understanding of the Scriptures is not so much dependent on mental acuity and skill in languages, it has much more to do with the soil of the heart on which the truth falls. Again, if you come looking for mistakes, you will find a whole heap, but if persons were to come, seeking for the truth, with a humble, teachable spirit, they will also find a whole heap. It all has to do with what you’re looking for.
[PH 117 par 51] If you refuse to believe until every shadow of uncertainty, and every possibility of doubt is removed, you will never believe. The doubt that demands perfect knowledge, will never yield to faith. Faith rests upon evidence, not demonstration. In our first passage God encourages and instructs us to believe His prophets, for an ordained prophet is the mouthpiece for God.
Furthermore, prosperity, and one being established firmly in Christ is directly dependent, and related to a person’s belief in the prophets. Thus, as we approach the topic for today: Can God’s Prophets Make Mistakes, it must be with a believing heart, and mind. Several erroneous concepts and a plethora of divergent views have been coming into our ranks and God warns us that they are scheduled to ramp up significantly as we approach the end of days.
John 10:26 But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
