False Prophets are Men Pleasers

Jeremiah 23

Inspired thots

It is a great responsibility to prophesy to people on behalf of the Lord.  Great caution must be exercised to determine if it is really God's revelation to speak on His behalf.

This lesson is learnt from this chapter when the Lord chided the prophets of Israel who spoke to please and pacify the people telling them only good things and what they want to hear. 

It is important to SEEK THE COUNSEL of GOD to speak for Him. v22 One needs to stand in His Council to hear Him correctly before speaking to the people.

Dear Lord Jesus, keep me away from the deceit of my heart and let me learn to wait in You more and more to be a useful vessel for You; even as Your mouthpiece. You can choose to speak to anyone through anyone; and it would be a great honor to be chosen to speak Your thoughts to build up Your people. Amen.
