“Even if the forest should be destroyed and the city torn down, the LORD will greatly bless his people. 20 Wherever they plant seed, bountiful crops will spring up. Their cattle and donkeys will graze freely.”
Isaiah 32:19-20 NLT
For the people of God, it does not matter what is happening on a global level. It does not matter if the world is falling apart. There are news of great forest fires, wars, rumors of wars, terrorism, politics, famine, earthquakes, and etc. Those who are truly focused on Him rather than focused on thorns and thistles (worldly concern news) will be GREATLY BLESSED. Those who walk in faith and be led by the Spirit are not focused on thorns and thistle. We are moved and led by the Will of God.
“As for what was sown among thorns, this is he who hears the Word, but the cares of the world and the pleasure and delight and glamour and deceitfulness of riches choke and suffocate the Word, and it yields no fruit.”
Matthew 13:22 AMP
In Matthew 13, the thorns are the cares of the world and pleasures of the world. Many Christians focus more on politics and what goes on in the world because it may affect their finances, standard of living, or comfort. It works directly at their fear. They have made fear their god. They are living by sight. Their worries suffocates faith as it suffocates the Word.
Many false prophets preach around thorns and thistles. They use fear and the concerns of the world to rally a crowd. Rather than teaching them to overcome and draw closer to Jesus, they are the false prophets using fear and worldly issues to give Christians a false purpose.
“Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?”
Matthew 7:15-16 NLT
False prophets will preach on worldly concerns. Rather than teaching them to be transformed and be born again from above, they draw people using emotions, anger, and fear. Such false prophets are only a form of godliness. False prophets will heighten the emotions of Christians by erroneously preaching pre rapture messages.
Yes, at times these false prophets can get a prediction right. Yes, they can even move in signs and wonders. They are but thorns and thistles that bear no good fruit. Why would God allow false prophets to rightly predict here and there?
Deuteronomy 13:1-3 EXB Prophets or ·those who tell the future with dreams [dreamers of dreams] might come to you and ·say they will show [give] you a sign or a ·miracle [wonder.] The sign or ·miracle [wonder] MIGHT EVEN HAPPEN, and then they might say, “Let’s serve other gods” [gods you have not known] " and let’s ·worship [go after them].” But you must not listen to those prophets or dreamers. The Lord your God is testing you, to ·find out know if you love him with ·your whole being [all your heart/mind and all your soul].
Many false prophets come with dreams/visions or their own imaginations. I have observed false prophets for many years. They have no inspired Word to teach. They only bring their dreams, visions, and imaginations hitting people's emotions and fear. Most of them all take your money. Many of them tell people such and such disaster is coming so they need to pray against it while they take your money. The Christians who follow such false prophets have miserable lives. They can't get their own prayers answered but yet they think their prayers will stop world events. The blind is truly leading the blind.
Please stop following these so called prophets. Many of them wear potato bags as an outfit and have long beards to makes themselves look credible. We will go through the Great Tribulation. You need to prepare yourselves in prayer and Word. You need to be trained in overcoming as you die to yourselves. Preparing for rapture is not having the knowledge of rapture. Those who teach pre rapture are leading God's people astray.
As scripture promises, even if the world falls apart, we shall be greatly blessed IF we are properly following and obeying the Lord.
