“But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:”
Ephesians 4:15 KJV
We have a responsibility to God to always speak the truth to ourselves. As many as the Lord has drawn are expected to uphold the truth of the Word of God at all times to each other because the Lord will be requiring their blood from our hands. Paul says in Acts 20:20, ‘I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly and from house to house.’ He now said from verse 26: ‘Wherefore I take you to record this day that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.’ He now told his audience to take heed unto themselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost had made them overseers, to feed the church of God which He had purchased with his own blood.
One of the signs of the end-time is deception. This has gotten to the extent that, if care is not taken, the very elect would also be deceived. The Holy Spirit is given to you for you to be able to examine the Word by yourself. He will confirm to you what you are receiving.
If somebody comes to you to tell you what you don’t understand, go to your pastor and ask him to explain this thing to you. Once you identify these people who are out there deceiving, don’t even receive them in your house. You are permitted to cast them out. That is not rudeness because we are talking about eternal life. We are talking about blood. We are talking about something that concerns life. 2 John verse 10 says ‘Don’t even receive them into your house. Don’t bid them God’s speed.
