Prayer: Father, when I do not listen to You, I am vulnerable to deception. Give me ears to hear and a heart and mind to receive Your words. Amen.
Reading: Jeremiah 37 key vs. 9 “Thus says Adonai: “Do not deceive yourselves, saying: ‘The Chaldeans will surely depart from us’—for they will not depart.” TLV.
Attention: The narrative among the prophets of King Zedekiah was a message of hope, nothing to worry about. In contrast Jeremiah is declaring God’s message of coming judgement at the hands of the Chaldeans. Who is right? Who is correct?
I recall a time in 2015 prior to the 2016 election, hearing from the pulpit, that FOX news was not the source to listen to, as if the alternative sources were providing accurate, unbiased, truthful news. It was not long after that sermon, I became aware that all the news sources were owned by a few. I got rid of cable and began listening to the only credible source, Adonai. The Holy Spirit, scripture, and key messengers have provided me with all I have needed. The media is corrupt, and we are being given the narrative which only a few want us to hear. We are intentionally being deceived by an evil agenda.
When King Zedekiah wanted the truth, he sent for Jeremiah and received him, “secretly (vs. 17).”
If you are listening to any of the major news agencies, you are listing to the wrong conduit. God still speaks through His word and His prophets. Make sure you are listening to the only truthful source.
Action: I choose to listen to God’s word and His prophets as my source of truth.
Yield: I choose to yield to the Spirit’s leadership.
Engage: I choose to engage with the aid of the Holy Spirit in avoiding being deceived.
Relationship: I choose to live in obedient, submitted relationship with Adonai.
Prayer: Father, You are the only credible, truthful source of news. You provided truthful espionage before technological surveillance was fashionable. I trust in You, Your word, and your messengers. Amen.
Memory Verse: 2 Kings 6:12 “But one of his officers said, “No, my lord the king. Rather, Elisha the prophet who is in Israel keeps telling the king of Israel the very words that you speak in your bedroom!” TLV
