33 Jesus used many similar stories and illustrations to teach the people as much as they could understand. 34 In fact, in His public ministry He never taught without using parables; but afterward, when He was alone with His disciples, He explained everything to them. ~ Mark 4:33-34NLT
Often times things happen in our lives that we don’t understand. The people around us will try to guess, they may even say they got a word from God, but we can’t always take man’s word for it. We always have to go to God before we accept any word from man. Even the people of Berea questioned Paul and searched Scripture to see if what he was teaching was true. Nothing has changed today; we still have to seek the truth behind words given to us by men, whether it’s their own words or words from God.
We can’t just blindly take people’s word for it. They could feel as if they were getting a word from God, but it could be the Devil in disguise trying to deceive you and that person. Or the person could be a plant in your life sent to take away your blessing and betray you. Or the person could have only been given part of a word from God, and you have to seek God for the rest of the word. Either way, never just accept a word from anyone. Always bring it to God first that He might either confirm or reject the word given to you. Trust the LORD above all others; lean not on your own understanding nor the understanding of others. Let the LORD lead your life and let His word be a lamp on to your feet and a light on to your path.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Confirm With God.
