Only Christ Has a Word for Us!

I have been told a couple of times in my life that someone had a word from the Lord for me, and my response is this:

 
"There is only one mediator between God and man, and that is Jesus Christ. If he wants me to know something, He tells me."

Those who wish to show off, demonstrating how spiritual they are by proclaiming things for other people, are fakers and liars.

 
It is one thing to approach someone who is violating Scripture using the scriptures to help them back on the road to obedience; it is not the same as claiming to hear special and specific information from God that is not in the Bible.

Those who walk in the Spirit can easily discern fakers who wish to convince others they are superior. They promote themselves instead of Christ. Fakers are elevating self not Christ!

Let's think logically, if something is going to happen to us in the future that God has ordained, we have no need to be told because we walk by faith, not by sight, trusting God every day for whatever He has for us. We have no need to know the future; we only need to trust in Him.

 
And, it is silly to think that Christ Who lives in me, would give someone else a message He has for me. We have no need to know the future beyond what God has already revealed in His Word for us.

 
Matthew 15:8-9
‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.
2 Peter 2:1-3 "Now there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow in their depravity, and because of them, the way of truth will be defamed. In their greed, these false teachers will exploit you with deceptive words. The longstanding verdict against them remains in force, and their destruction does not sleep. They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”
