Beware of the "Speakers"

Beware of those who think we are able to speak things into existence the same way God did when He created the world.

There are those who say we are little gods with the ability to "name something and claim it" merely because we speak it, the thing will happen.

1 Timothy 4:1
"4 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will [a]fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,"

When we desire an outcome over something we are to pray that God would do a miracle, He will get the glory whether or not the prayers is answered the way we desire. His will for us is very different from our will often.

Our mindset ought to be that we discover His will rather than demanding ours from Him.

James 4:2-4 "…2 You crave what you do not have; you kill and covet, but are unable to obtain it. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask. 3 And when you do ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may squander it on your pleasures. 4 You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God.…"

Be careful to consult God and His Word for your answers, rather than those who would tickle the ear to please and appease you.

Proverbs 29:5
"A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet."

Proverbs 26:24-28
"Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling. A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin."

One of the favored ways of the devil is to flatter and schmooze those he wishes to disarm. Never accept flattery, look beyond it to the possible motive.

Job 32:21-22
"I will not show partiality to any man or use flattery toward any person. For I do not know how to flatter, else my Maker would soon take me away."
