Isaiah 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of ME, saith the Lord.

 

(Righteous of God because it was God who told you to do this or gave you this information.)

 

Consider those things God told you to do.

 

*****

The servants of God are those who obey God; those who follow the Word of God:

 

Some people who say they are Christians have actually told me they do not follow scripture because they have their own church doctrine.

 

Jesus warned HIS own disciples:

 

Matthew 16

 

6  Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

 

12  Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

 

We have Bibles.  Each of us are responsible for the doctrines of the Bible and when those doctrines conflict with that which we hear taught at churches, we must choose Bible. 

 

***

 

I Corinthians 14:27-28  If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.

 

28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

 

39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 

 

*** 

 

James 3:17  But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

 

*** 

 

Philippians 2:12  Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

 

***

 

Matthew 7:21-25  Jesus says ...  Not every one that saith unto ME, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of MY Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to ME in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in THY name? and in THY name have cast out devils? and in THY name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from ME, ye that work iniquity. 

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of MINE, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 

 

*** 

 

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4   Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
