I never sent them

Jeremiah 23 1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture saith the LORD. [It is very easy to understand this verse look out false teachers All verses come from the KJV Bible].Jeremiah 23 2 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people Ye have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not visited them behold I will visit upon you the evil of your doings saith the LORD. [False teachers drive people away from God. Those false teachers get what they deserve according to their own doings].Jeremiah 23 21 I have not sent these prophets yet they ran I have not spoken to them yet they prophesied. [God did not send many of those that call themselves prophets preachers teachers men of God etc. then or now].Jeremiah chapter 23 and Ezekiel chapter 13 are so important. Both of these chapters demonstrate God s feelings towards those that mislead others through false teachings it couldn t be more clear 1 Peter 4 17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God and if it first begin at us what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God [Where does judgment begin Far too many so-called Pastors and so-called prophets are totally unaware of where God s judgment begins and why it begins there that is truly sad].Check out the definitions of the words pastors and prophets in a Strong s Exhaustive Concordance for yourself. God did not send them . If God did not send them then who did False prophets shall rise not maybe rise shall rise Jesus is describing what it will be like here on earth just before His return. There are many verses on this subject in the Old testament and the New testament. Here are a few of those verses.Matthew 24 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives the disciples came unto him privately saying Tell us when shall these things be and what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world Matthew 24 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them Take heed that no man deceive you.Matthew 24 5 For many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and shall deceive many.Matthew 24 11 And many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many.Matthew 24 24 For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall shew great signs and wonders insomuch that if it were possible they shall deceive the very elect.Ezekiel 22 25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof like a roaring lion ravening the prey they have devoured souls they have taken the treasure and precious things they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.Ezekiel 22 26 Her priests have violated my law and have profaned mine holy things they have put no difference between the holy and profane neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths and I am profaned among them.Ezekiel 22 27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey to shed blood and to destroy souls to get dishonest gain.Ezekiel 22 28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter seeing vanity and divining lies unto them saying Thus saith the Lord GOD when the LORD hath not spoken.It is apparent that you do not want to be someone that teaches or prophesies falsely. The only way to be sure is to teach or prophesy Gods word only and do not teach or prophesy your own vain thoughts or the traditions and commandments of men. How do you tell if you are teaching or prophesying falsely It is really quite easy teach or prophesy God s word only. Try the spirits as we are commanded to do in 1 John 4 1. Don t place your trust in anything except God and His word. Jeremiah 17 5 and 7 spell this out for us. To know and to be able to teach God s word properly you have to actually study God s word as we are commanded to do in 2 Timothy 2 15. Again sadly most so-called Pastors plus church attendees are totally unaware we are given such a command. Eliminate the possibility of being deceived by studying God s word cover to cover book by book chapter by chapter and verse by verse. You will learn things that you will never hear while sitting in a church pew.
