For Such a Time As This: Sign Seeking

Freedom Journey

This blog was created on Saturday March 22, 2014, and is geared to folks whose steadfast aim is freedom through learning, teaching and DOING truth. Incorrect beliefs can prevent constructive forward motions. We cannot afford to allow ignorance, pride and stubbornness to keep us deceived.

Refuse to be prisoners of your perceptions. Cast away nonsense traditions. Freedom resides in authentic and proven truths.

REAL truth is freedom!

Only GOD is perfect. It's vital to seek the Lord to expose errors. Please ask Him to expose any areas of darkness and for what is necessary to DO to dispossess what's NOT of truth.

Sign Seeking

Hi -

Scriptures are from the King James Holy Bible.

When I was in the Pentecostal and Charismatic “movements,” I was somewhat of a sign seeker. Back then the gold dust, feathers, and so-called holy laughter wasn’t in the mix. I was heavy, though, into seeking prophetic words -- with a lust to read them, to hear them spoken over me, etc.

We know that sign seeking folks have increased. Evidence is on Youtube, in Christian conferences, and in church buildings galore. Covetousness and lusts have more folks seduced by signs and lying wonders, i.e. gold dust, feathers and other such NON BIBLICAL foolishness.

Mark 8:11

And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

Even him, whose coming is after the work of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

###

John 10:29, 30 says:

“My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; . . .

“ I and my Father are one.”

###

Surely, GOD is GREATER THAN ALL.

Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of GOD, and his righteousness; . . .

###

Yep, that’s the answer. We’re to seek the GREATEST -- GOD, the only SOURCE. All else is resource, provided by GOD. His name is Jealous -- Exodus 34:14 -- and when we seek signs and wonders ABOVE GOD, the GREATEST, we’re in opposition to His instructions. And we need to watch and pray because as the scripture shares -- there are LYING wonders. “. . . after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.” -- 2 Thessalonians 2:9.
