Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. (Matthew 7:21-27 KJV)
It is clear from the above passage that many ministers will be disappointed. Many so called miracle workers and prophets will also be disappointed. Even though they will use the name of Jesus to heal the sick, cast out demons prophesy etc., they will be rejected by the Lord Jesus Christ because they do not do His will. They interpret the Word of God to suit their own selfish ends and to satisfy their stomachs. They also follow the masses in order to gain popularity. BUT THE TRUTH OF IT IS THAT, NO TRUE MAN OF GOD IS POPULAR. Jesus, John, Paul, David, Elijah and the others were not popular, but rather rejected by the world. Jesus said, they will hate you because they hated me. A servant is not greater than his master.
Have you noticed how many people click like to your post on Facebook when you tell people the pure Word of God? Compare that to the number of likes for those who always say things like 'I can see the blessings of God coming your way etc.'
Any preacher who is popular is compromising the Word of God in order to gain popularity. The world cannot receive the Truth. In order for the world to accept you the preacher, you have to say the word of God the way they like it. Light has come into the world but people like darkness because their deeds are evil.
There is no doubt that many shall do wonders using the name of the Lord and yet they are not right with The Lord. Those preachers give people false hopes. They deny the Word of God in order to have many followers/church members. What God calls abomination, they say it does not matter, times have changed and we have to interpret the word to suit the time. They say that part of the Word was for those people but not us.
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. (2 Peter 1:20 KJV)
Remember Jesus did not deny that they did not do the miracles in His name. They will have the anointing to heal and do miracles and yet false. That is why the Bible call them false Christs (false anointed ones). So please don't be fooled by the miracles they do.
God has used me to heal the sick, cast out demons, and do other miracles but that is not what we major on.
Don't forget that when Jesus first sent the twelve which included Judas Iscariot, they cast out demons etc. Judas also did some miracles but he could not receive the Holy Spirit so he perished.
But Paul said:
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. (Galatians 1:8 KJV)
It is therefore clear that anyone who preaches anything other than Paul and Peter is cursed.
For example, Paul preached;
Let your women be silent and not to have authority over men,
The woman's hair is her covering so the woman must not cut their hair,
Water baptism must be done in the name of The Lord Jesus Christ
Baptism must be done IN water.
In all these, they say otherwise. If you don't say it like they did, the Bible says you are cursed.
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. (Romans 3:4 KJV)
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4 KJV)
You cannot live by some of the Word of God but by EVERY WORD of God. You will perish if you live by some of the Word and deny the others!
