“Thus Saith the LORD” is a very powerful expression. It has authority because it quotes God. We know that God does not lie. Everything He says is authentic and reliable. Unfortunately, we see people giving messages supposedly from God but what they say is against the written Word of God. God does not contradict Himself “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” (1Cor. 14:33). There are many lying spirits in the world therefore we must test every spirit if they are of God. No private prophecy, vision, dream or revelation is above the Scriptures. The Holy Bible is our final authority. Whatsoever revelation that does not agree with the Bible should be discarded.
Jesus Christ’s heart yearns for the salvation of those who are lost. During His earthly ministry He showed a very strong passion for the need of sinners to be saved to the extent that He was accused of eating and drinking with sinners.
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” (1Pe 5:8-9 KJV)
The greatest shock on the Day of Judgment won’t be because of unbelief but because of the false hope of salvation among deceived Christians. “And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” (1 Peter 4:18)
One thing that many Christians fail to understand fully is that the human body was originally created by God for Himself. We are the temple created by God for Himself to dwell through His Holy Spirit.
