Can God’s Prophets Make Mistakes. Part [2] 05/28/2025 (Morning thought)

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!

Can God’s Prophets Make Mistakes. Part [1] 05/28/2025 (Evening thought)

2nd Chronicles 20: 20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, hear me, O Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall you be established; believe his prophets, so shall you prosper.

Whenever we come to the study of God’s word, we should do so with a humble and teachable spirit, for the attitude folks come with determines to a large, whether or not they will leave the study edified or more confused. God is a Spirit, and therefore the state of the mind plays a critical role in whether the truths of the bible will be understood, or whether they will fly over our heads.

For instance, if folks were to approach God’s word with an intention to believe and obey the Holy Spirit will unlock their minds so that they might be enabled to receive and understand truth….. Luke 24: 45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.”.. The converse is also true, for if one comes to the study of God’s word, with preconceived ideas, not willing to be instructed or corrected as warranted, then the word becomes blurry, and very difficult to grasp.

And that is because some might attempt to instruct God, instead of The Lord instructing them. This took place when the scribes and pharisees of Christ’s day made it their duty to search for errors, mistakes and faults. In the gospel of John, Christ takes the matter even further, for he declares that they cannot understand because of the attitude they came with. The attitude they came with effectually prevented them from learning truth, and they often left more confused than when they first came. Thus, basically in a nutshell, you will get whatsoever you’re looking for.

John 8:43 Why do you not understand my speech? even because you cannot hear my word. 47 He that is of God heareth God's words: you therefore hear them not, because you are not of God.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
