WOLVES IN SHEEPS CLOTHING

Deut 13:1-3
13:1 If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a miraculous sign or wonder, 2 and if the sign or wonder of which he has spoken takes place, and he says, "Let us follow other gods" (gods you have not known) "and let us worship them," 3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul. NIV
** This reminds me that there will be people who will do wonderful things and or miracles and signs and yet they will not be followers of Christ. I’ve watched people who attended church for a long time and just because they were attenders and they looked like a well dressed Christian and they talked like a Christians they were filled with themselves so much I couldn’t recognize Jesus in them. Sometimes it’s hard to separate their words of God from the real words of God. I knew a person one time that walked the walk and talked the talk but when it came down to the bottom line, it was all about them. They would speak in tongues louder than others, jump and shout more than others and make a great show when praying for others at the altar, but when it came down to it, all they cared about was their own recognition and their own glory. It was really hard to separate them from our flock because everyone had already accepted them as a leader and I would have been questioned if I would have removed them from the church. I prayed and waited on the Lord and made sure there was no sheep being hurt as I waited them out. (sooner or later these people will expose themselves for who they really are.) through several circumstances and trials in their lives, they showed their real colors and left the church. Some people are very clear that they want to draw you away from God and others are not so clear. We must always be in His Word and know His voice so we will make the right decisions when the time comes to choose.
