They Are Prophesying To You False Visions

Jeremiah 14:13-15
13 But I said, "Ah, Sovereign LORD, the prophets keep telling them, 'You will not see the sword or suffer famine. Indeed, I will give you lasting peace in this place.' "

14 Then the LORD said to me, "The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds. 15 Therefore, this is what the LORD says about the prophets who are prophesying in my name: I did not send them, yet they are saying, 'No sword or famine will touch this land.' Those same prophets will perish by sword and famine.


Here, Jeremiah has to deal with false prophets who are saying things that the Lord did not say. These are most likely prophets of other gods who are distorting God's message in the area.

We must all watch out for people who are not in line with God's purpose. There are many teachings in the world about things that are not according to God's words. We must be cautious, but also prepared in our stance with the Lord.

Father God, I pray for your Spirit to distinguish your words and those that are not according to your will and purpose. I pray for you hand upon me and the Church, that you protect us against teachings that are from you. Let your Spirit guide us in your ways, and the path that you want to lead. I thank you for this, and glorify your Holy and Might name.
Amen.
