“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs 14:12
We are called to be set apart and not to be unequally yoked with anything, any other way that seems right to our carnal eyes and to our reasoning, but, in the end, that way will bring us death! Why does it say “death”? Because Jesus' words are Spirit and life (John 6:63). There are a lot of things we can say that are all good, but if it steals your faith in Him, and if it now becomes your alternative, it will become your “go to” and your god. Only He is the life!
Why do we lose our faith? Because we are following other voices, because we are relying on other sources, and because we don’t stay in communion with the Holy Spirit, we start fornicating with this world and its ways. We are giving all of this power to Google search, to AI, or to ChatGPT, and very little power to the Word of God. When you start believing what He said, you will start becoming what you believe. You will never walk on water because your head knowledge about gravity will stop you! Your facts, your Google search, your statistics become what you put your trust in.
Suddenly, you start getting under the power of these things, and it does not happen overnight but gradually. You must agree with that power inside of you so you can walk in supernatural faith. God will raise us up by His own power (1 Corinthians 6). The harlot is the spirit of this age. I am coming against the lies that come through the world, and we become deceived for believing it because we are putting our trust in science, philosophy, and doctors.
Who has bewitched you (Galatians 3:1)? Do you think the Holy Spirit is ever in fear? Do you think the Holy Spirit will ask Siri to help you? Do you think the Holy Spirit will trust any source that comes from an online search?
We need to shake off all of these lies! IF God DOES NOT do something to fix your situation, it is because He has sent the Comforter. If God DOES DO something about it, it is because He will send us the Helper! We can’t follow God and the other voices!
We are in the world, but we are not of it (John 17:16)! We can’t get unequally yoked with any person that follows THE WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT. We can’t follow any voice that follows it either! You are bought with a price, your master is Jesus, and you just need to follow Him! Don’t believe the information of the past, but believe on the prophecy about your future. Otherwise, you will live under the power of the forecast of the devil and of the spirit of this age and its worldly statistics.
For example, I am believing in my healing, but what is the first thing I do? I run to the doctor for a prescription or for a diagnosis. I am believing to receive a financial breakthrough, but I am always looking at the world’s economy! I am believing in my transformation, but I never stop staring at me in the mirror! I am planning for my future while still considering my past. I am believing in the Word of God, but I am always taking in internet reports. If you keep your mind on Mr. Google, you will never pay attention to what the Holy Spirit is telling you to do. It seems right, the way seems so right, everybody is doing it, but it will bring destruction! People would say, “We need to have wisdom,” but that is fear-based precaution! Prevention is never faith-based. If I live a life of prevention in the flesh, I will never walk on water!
We can’t come with pity in agreement with people because that won’t help them. Familiarity will stop us from really helping people. We can’t get involved with them emotionally and just give counsel based on what they are going through. “Yeah, I understand what they are going through.” This is a statement that shows we are getting under their power and annulling the power of the gospel that can help them.
We start reasoning with them because we want them to feel better… “Yeah, I understand your past...” “Yeah, I understand how difficult it is…” When we cross the line, we stop being ministers of the word of God and just become friends with God’s sheep. But once we start bringing the Word of God, they will call you mean, not compassionate, not understanding, hardcore, legalistic. If you come under the power of anything, then suddenly, when you do that, you begin to sink with them. We can have compassion, but no pity, no familiarity, no reasoning, no philosophy, and no science as the foundation of our counseling. We cannot come in agreement with what people feel, or see, or even get from Google!
We cannot give counsel according to the situation or because we are being sympathetic! The Word says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: And with all thy getting get understanding.” Proverbs 4:7
My job is to help you get a miracle and not all the facts. You can bring me all the facts, but once you believe all the facts of this world, the wisdom of men, you will never get the miracles. God is not going to do that because you are already believing in the facts, and not in Him. "Is not he just the carpenter?" Matthew 13:55…Remember, they were so familiar with Jesus as a carpenter that there were no miracles done in Galilee because they grew up with Him. That is the problem we have with familiarity. People ignoring the oracles of God just as mentioned in Ecclesiastes 9:16: “Nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.”
The natural facts about Jesus were correct: He was the son of Joseph; He was just a Jewish man. What is your fact? Your past, unbelief, failures? Or the Word of God. Or the reality of New Creation? That is why we need to continue to remind ourselves about who we are and what we have, or the Word of God will be of no effect (Mark 7:13). The tradition of modern-day man today is to search in the world for all the answers. Then we make even the wisdom from above of no effect in any circumstances we face. This is why consecration is so important. “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.” 2 Corinthians 6:17
Jesus did no mighty miracles because they thought He was just another carpenter in town (Matthew 13:57-58). The Church of the Bible is full of miracles! I am not here to come under science, traditions, or even doctors’ reports if it is the sheep bringing them to me. We need to come under the report of the Good News, which says, “This same power that raised Christ from the dead dwells inside of us and shall quicken our mortal bodies” (Romans 8:11). What is inside of us can do anything, anytime!
We should not be getting anything on the internet as our source unless it is the prophetic oracles of God and proclamations of revelation and Truth.
Our source has to be the Word of God. Let’s read Colossians 2:1-10. “ In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (verse 3); in Him are hidden all that we need! Enticing words can’t help us (verse 4), but people want pity, agreement with their way of thinking, and not the Word! Verse 7 tells us to be “rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.” But we will always be shaky if we let the world spoil us through philosophy, carnal reasoning, and vain deceit after the tradition of the world and the rudiments of the world (verse 8). “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power” (verses 9-10).
Don’t get under the power of any report. We are complete in Him. He is the head of all principality and power (verse 10). We are seated in Christ in the heavenly places, so everything is under us, and we should not be under any of these rudiments of the world. Everybody has a drama, an abuse, a story, a past; should we be under all of it? No! The spirit of this age is not our covering. It is not our strong tower. If it is a stronghold, it will hold you back from the Kingdom of God! We cannot be a respecter of the past and have the power for now! There is no “BUT” in Faith! The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want (Psalm 23:1). If you are still wanting, something is wrong. Maybe the Shepherd is not your Lord, but you have been your Lord!
What ends up happening is we start to live in the past of somebody else’s testimonies, like, “This and that happened to this person; I read the story.” If we do so, we are bringing our faith under somebody else's failure, sickness, generational strongholds, and worldly statistics. Don’t let people try to convince you of the statistics. We are set apart! Our prayers became begging prayers, not thankful prayers. We see our situation and become self-centered, and that steals the kingdom right out of us.
We begin to believe the facts of life instead of the Word of God. This is how seducing spirits have taken over the church. If they have not taken over yet, the churches have welcomed them in. They have given them a platform. They have even given a voice to these spirits, a chance to give their own opinion, and they bring false comfort. Churches like these have become “a way that seems right,” but they are the synagogue of satan! God calls it mixture!
Mixture with a little bit of wisdom from heaven, a bit of wisdom from the world! Mixture of knowledge of who you are in Him and of what your doctor's diagnosis gave to you. We do not care what the world says. He said in Isaiah 61, “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me …” to preach the gospel to the poor, to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, to recover sight to the blind, to give them liberty, to heal those who are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Back then, that referred to Jesus, but now it is for you, for every person who is born again. Anything that comes against this Truth is a lie, and it is a way that might seem right, but not for you!
Why do you think some ministries end up having no more manifestations and power? Because they have become unequally yoked! They embrace any lie and end up having no more Truth in them. Whatever is abnormal should be normal if we live by the Word of God. When we have a distant relationship with the sheep, it is easy to stand on the Word because we are not immersed in their problems. But still, we need to learn from the Good Shepherd so we can feed His sheep with what they need, even if they end up hating you later. We must stand on the Word of God. We should always have compassion, but don’t be tolerant in any way that seems right but is the opposite of what the Word of God says!
We can’t eat at two tables! Because of this way that seems so right, so many people have convinced themselves that their way is right! They have been walking in the way of death for so long! This spirit of deception will teach, will seduce, and will serve you things sacrificed unto idols (Revelation 2:20-22). Science and medicine are all part of the beast and one of the heads on the mountains! Every mountain has a face and a purpose to make man a god and to deceive the whole world.
It seems right. We need to know what the Word of God says is right or wrong! If Peter believed more in gravity than in the Word of God, than in the voice of the Shepherd, he would have never gotten out of the boat. And we still keep googling, for example, all about gravity! The same goes for finances, the stock market, health, business, family, science, the News, arts, and entertainment. We keep looking outside God for answers about any area of conflict in our lives! All of these have become the gods of this age.
This is the New Tower of Babylon, mountains of the beast that the lost and the deceived ones are climbing to, with the lie of what they want to be fulfilled!
These people, places, and things become idols! Everything will revolve around: trauma, betrayal, torment, the past, or a situation. Now we can no longer see! We can no longer minister to others because we end up blinded by their own reports. Suddenly, we try to look at people who have gone through the same things and give support that ends up being pity and negative agreement…No! We are not helping anybody if we do so. We end up coming under the power of the curse, and we start living in defeat and constantly waiting for the next medical breakthrough, the next economic surge, or the next president.
This is why Paul said, “For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” Read 1 Corinthians 2:1-9. I choose to know nothing! Nothing that people, bankers, doctors, or your family said…Choose to KNOW NOTHING! Go to ground zero. If you die believing, at least you will die in faith! Whatever you fear may come upon you (Job 3:25)! The Kingdom is not moved by statistics! The peace of God surpasses all worldly understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Why are you so worried about the story? Why are you so worried about the explanation that the world gives you about your situation? All that I know is that I was blind and now I see (John 9:25). Shouldn't that be enough? I choose to know nothing! All you need to know is that you were this, and now you are that! It is time to rise out of the valley of double-mindedness! Spirits start taking over our minds when we start opening the door for them through knowledge! There is not a list of: “THESE PEOPLE SHALL NOT WANT” and “THESE PEOPLE SHALL WANT”. No! It does not matter what you go through, WE ALL SHALL NOT WANT (Psalm 23)!
Enticing words of man are leading you to the path of death! Stop listening! “My speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought” (verses 4-6). What is the thing your whole world revolves around? What is that thing?
What is that thing that is being used to lose your faith? Open our eyes to see this way that seems right.
There is no whining in faith, there is no whining in hope! Cast off unbelief, or you will be a slave to the power of every enticing wisdom that you listen to. Change your mind and let Him show you THE WAY THAT IS RIGHT! There is a spirit that is under everything when you are not under the Word of God. There is a spirit that will take you in any other direction once you are not satisfied with the direction that God is pointing you to go. You will be tossed to and fro by this spirit! “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” (Ephesians 4:14). Don’t go by the testimony of the facts or of the past but by the testimony of the Word of God! What is inside of us can do anything, for anybody, anytime! But if you believe the facts, that is doubt and unbelief! But you still call yourself a believer!
In Mark 10:46-52, we read the story of “Blind Bartimaeus,” who was not blind after the healing, so why do we still call him “Blind Bartimaeus”? Because we focus on who he used to be more than on what Jesus did for him. Now, he can see! He was crying out to overcome his unbelief and was heard! Bartimaeus received the supernatural power of God! We have already tasted the supernatural power of God when we were born again. Now all we need to do is step into the light of it! God had enough mercy to save you, so stop meditating on the kingdom of this world and meditate on the Kingdom of God!
And it is great news! We have hope! Science is still trying to figure things out! But our news is for now! We don’t need to be waiting for more research or more wisdom. There is nothing else that we need right now. Keep researching, keep searching for the best business strategy on the market, keep eating from unequal people, keep eating from two tables, and you will never be eating from the table He has for you.
Many said, “But this is in my family.” Well, once you are born again, you have a new family, a new father, a new inheritance, and the power of the blood and of the cross. Even if what you are believing for does not happen, there are so many things to be thankful for. Just to be able to say, “I AM NEVER GOING TO DIE,”
isn't that great news? Get through this life that is a vapor; unless you get over it, you will never be able to enter into eternal life!
We cannot be under the power of one another, even being this close as a family. From dust we came, from dust we will return (Genesis 3:19)! That is just flesh! Live in LIFE, not in DEATH. Death is the absence of the light of God! We will live forever! If that does not excite you, nothing else will! Just make the best of today, but we are not living for today, but for eternity. If you live for today, you will be under the weight of today. When you live for eternity, you will live with joy, peace, and righteousness! Don’t live under any other power but under the power that is within!
Even when others try to convince me of their own reality and situation, their mind is on the problem and not on the Word of God, so I will remind them that HIS WORD is true and LET EVERY EVIL REPORT BE A LIAR (Romans 3:4)! Expect the “suddenly” of God, and at least you will keep your peace, joy, and righteousness. You will not come under the power of that, and it will have no power over you! Your vision is hope. Your vision is Christ.
“Father, help me! YOUR WORD IS TRUE, and LET EVERY MAN BE A LIAR! Let this be MY STATEMENT!”
Put eye solvent in your eyes, and let Him open them up so you can see the way that seems right, but it is not! Then repent, immediately, and go back to faith! So you can go back to HIS WAY that leads you to eternal life and not death! Science will spend tons of money trying to give you the solution and will need many years, but FAITH is now! This is the wisdom from above!
This is the RIGHT WAY! Walk in it! “And thine ear shall hear a word behind thee, saying, THIS IS THE WAY, walk ye in it, when you turn to the right and when you turn to the left.” Isaiah 30: 21
