“That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;”
Ephesians 4:14 KJV
God is demanding of the Church to become mature. Don’t be a child tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine and the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness. There are many false doctrines being taught today in the Body and that is what the end-time is all about. There are ministries today, whose assignment is to go into established churches to win Christians into their fold and tell them that there is no more Holy Spirit, and then, feed them with all sorts of false doctrines. They have house fellowships all over the place, destroying people and telling them that the days of church gatherings are over. And they say things like “God will teach you by Himself”.
I didn’t read that in the Bible. The scripture says He gave some apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers for maturing of the Saints. It didn’t say you should go and stay in the house. The Bible says that “as many as are led by the Spirit are the sons of God”. How can a new Christian who is born again today mature on his own? They say “don’t go to church again; all these church people are rogues; they are taking people’s money; they are controlling people’s lives”. My position has always been that in every counterfeit, there is an original.
I am not ignoring the fact that in the ministry there are charlatans. There are thieves and people who are making merchandize of people. However, that does not rule out the fact that there are originals. The devil is a counterfeiter. You had better watch out for such infiltrators, wolves in sheep’s clothing, as the Bible calls them. I don’t mince words when I deal with such people because they are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Except you call them by their names, the sheep might be confused. I declare that you will not be confused in Jesus name.
