The apostate prosperity, power of the mind preachers make things sound so good that they almost sound Biblical but are actually against the Word of God. Watch out for them, scrutinize carefully everything that is said or written.
When we know the Bible well we see things immediately because we know the heart of God. When we miss something the Holy Spirit warns us and reveals the lie when we ask to know why something is bothering us.
Many times I didn't know for sure something was wrong but the Holy Spirit continually agitated me about it until I would ask, "Lord why am I having misgivings about this saying, this matter or this person." Then soon after asking that prayer would be answered and I could see clearly what was wrong.
God wants us to ask and He wants us to ask because we really do want to know truth.
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.…"
Many apostate types ask for wisdom but when they see it they won't believe it. When another authentically born again believer comes along and challenges a belief because it is not biblical the pretender has a melt down and refuses the truth.
When someone refuses the truth with anger and continues to do this, they will move deeper and deeper into apostasy. When this happens God will stop sending others to correct and will stop speaking to the willful one.
The good news is when a pretender repents of their false ways God will hear that prayer and begin to answer them. God never remains silent to those who love Him and want truth.
Jeremiah 29:12-14 "…12 Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, declares the LORD,"
The Jeremiah passage was written to a nation, but it applies to anyone who desires a relationship with God.
