Have You Checked It Our With Two or More Witnesses?

“For your citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself” (Phil. 3:20-21).

Hey Gang: Point number one: my citizenship is in heaven.  Whoopee!   We made a round robin trip this weekend to visit several of our kin folks and, while enroute listened to the radio.  The longer I listened the more I was less filled with joy.  For two straight hours the airways were filled with gloom and despair.   

I noticed that with each change of program there was a repeat of all the gloom and despair from the previous hour, over again.  If you missed something in the first go around, don’t sweat it, it will be repeated nearly verbatim every hour on the hour for the next twenty-four hours. 

As an older-than- dirt member of humanity, I remember, from my younger years, that the Walter Cronkites of the airways came on at six o’clock in the evening and, for the next one-half hour gave us the news of the day.   This was followed by one of those early shows, like the Shadow Knows, Ma and Pa Perkins, I Cannot Tell a Lie (certainly would not fit today) that made you forget the bad news that  had been reported in that previous half hour.

I made a discovery several days ago that put meat on Jesus’ statement, “Careful!  Do not be deceived for there will be false prophets and false teachers and even false preachers that will spew forth false statements”.  He went on in His teaching to give us the antidote for deception: check all things out by two or three witnesses.    I believe, if He were making that statement today, He would say make sure two of those checks and balances are the Word of God and the Voice in the prayer closet. 

And how did that discovery surface in my mind?  Gramps, trying to stay up to speed about what is happening in our world prophetically tends to keep my ear close to the ground.   Last week an article appeared in one the columns that appears on my computer daily, saying, a convey of UN vehicles was observed on one of our major highways. This scared the hebby-jeebies out of many who saw it thinking we were being taken over by the UN.

But the story had not been tested by two or three witnesses until Glen Beck assigned the task of finding why they were there to his research staff.    They found that the UN had a contract with an affiliate of Ford Motor Company to build said vehicles for shipment of said vehicles to their offices in Europe. They were on their way to the port of debarkation.  

 

Now hear me! There are many pieces of information hitting the airways and all forms of printed materials including books, even by noted authors, that have not passed God’s muster of checking all things carefully first, then separating the good from the bad and trashing the bad. Next test what you think is good and check it out with two or more witnesses.

Be advised, many folks are being lead down the Prime Rose Path because they are not up to speed on what the Word of God, the Bible, really says.   Jesus said “Careful, be very careful, as the clock moves ever closer to the zero hour when all that can be shaken will be shaken.  Do not be deceived? 

Blessings,
