Shownotes Transcript

Please note that there are two parts to this one! This is part A.

•We have completed two podcasts so far on Exodus 32. Can you be deceived is part P1 from Exodus 32 and lessons from the golden calf.  P2 was Real or Fake Prophecy, Which is It?

•We are adding a 3rd.   P3 is The Cure for Deception

•A problem is we don't believe we can be deceived. Would our favorite teacher deceive us? In rare circumstances. But what if they themselves are deceived? How would we know?

•What is the "Sunday School Myth"?  

• Please understand that we can be deceived. Because of this principle: I want… It is either "I want" or God's will. Christ came to do the "will of my Father". Will we?

•What is the cure for deception? A new perspective. Get into the Word of God ourselves TO BE PLEASING TO GOD. Be careful with God's word. DO NOT DEPEND ON PEOPLE.

•We want to answer several questions today

•1. How can we put all the tools together so we can practice not being deceived? We could list all the scripture where there is a possibility

•2. What if you hear a teaching, and it sounds good? It feels good? We may even say, "I know in my spirit it is right" teaching. Is this an objective truth? No. What would be your objective way to analyze it? That's what we are discussing.

•3. Can you be willing NOT to believe what you have been taught for years and go on a search for God's perspective?

•4. 1John 2:26 Says the Holy Spirit anoints us because of what Christ has done to save us. He will teach you.  

So here are some "I wants" to keep in mind.  

  1. Does it feed our flesh?  Do I want to attend a church that is "hip" and cool"?

  2. Does it feed our soul (emotions)? Do I want to feel good when I leave a church or hear teaching?

  3. Does it take our eyes off of Christ? Do I want to go my own way?

  4. Does it make us compare ourselves to others? Do I want what they have?

  5. Does it take our eyes off the Word of God? I want others to study for me.

  6. Does it put us "under" the authority of men? I want others to tell me what to do because it is easier than submitting to Christ?

Join us for this podcast and video to submit our hearts to our God and King, the Lord Jesus Christ. We welcome your feedback.
