Scripture of the Day
2 Peter 1:20-21 (NIV)
“Prophe-Lie”
Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from GOD as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
---------------------------------------------------------
One of the ten commandments tells us that we are not suppose to take the name of the LORD thy GOD in vain. We always look at this in reference to we should not use curse words with the name of the LORD in them! As if to say all the other curse words are O.K. All of us are intelligent enough to speak, argue, discuss, etc. without using curse words. So let’s tame our mouths and control our hearts! Using GOD’s name in vain goes much deeper than our word choices! It’s about misusing HIS name for our own gain!
We cannot claim “GOD said” something if HE didn’t! That’s called Prophe-Lying! I can’t walk up to someone and say, “GOD told me to punch you in the face!” No matter what that person has done to me . . . we all know that GOD doesn’t tell us to take revenge . . . because HE said vengeance is HIS! Therefore I would have used HIS name in vain for my own gain! Someone may ask the question, “How can I tell if it is a Prophe-Lie?” I’m glad you asked! Know HIM by knowing HIS Word! When you know GOD’s Word . . . you know what GOD is saying to you and through you! When someone claims to know when JESUS is coming back or when the world will end! They are Prophe-Lying! Because GOD’s Word said no man knows the time of HIS return!
We must be careful not to try and put our words in GOD’s name, but let HIM put every word in our hearts before we speak or prophesied! It is a gift, so don’t abuse it!
Love Sincerely

I love your message on "Prophe-Lying." And we must learn to curve our tongues... there's life and death in the power of the tongue. Bless you!
Thank you! I have found that when God gives me a word or vision He also shows me in His word the confirmation. Sometimes He will send me to the old testament( that day, the next week, or even a couple months down the line), in a chapter in the middle of the book, and a verse even deeper in the chapter, in my studies and will reveal Himself. I can just see Him standing there pointing at me with two fingers, one hip out, and a wink saying, "Watch out there now!" LMBO! I get excited because I'm still new in the word and what He gives me I may not have read, heard, or studied! So my posture gets straight and my confidence in Him grows even greater! By the way, God is sooo Good!
Love ya,
