When we begin to hear God or if any of us are so fortunate to be taken to heaven or even hell, we must become more humbled. Many Christians give people who can hear God or are taken to heaven more authority. Just because someone is taken to heaven does not give them authority to teach or lead others. When one is given such gifts, it is like a teenager who just got their license and a brand new car.
Instead of appreciating the dangers of driving and appreciating the new car, they think they own the street and drive like they are some professional NASCAR driver. Just like in the physical life here, our arrogant attitude will get us to crash and burn. A new car and a license for a teenager does not give them the authority to go teach others to drive. They do not have the authority to drive like a NASCAR race driver. If they are called to give others a ride, then they should be more humbled and cautious for they will be responsible for the lives of the passengers in their car.
Just because they have not crashed the first week with their new car and license does not mean they cannot crash the second week. Prophecy, being taken heaven, or meeting Jesus or angels are no different. Just because one is taken to see the real Jesus out of grace does not mean they cannot be deceived the second time.
We are at WAR! Will soldiers relax in time of war in the battlefield? If we let our guard down, we can be taken out by a sniper. Pride and arrogance have been the down fall of many. Hopefully, those who have been humbled involuntarily by their mistakes will humble themselves even more.
It is wiser for those who just received their licenses to learn from those who have driven for years instead of thinking they own the road now and who think they require no teachers or mentors.
Fire of God
