123 Hallelujah Has Noticed

123 Hallelujah Has Noticed

August 20, 2014

This may sound strange, but it has come to my attention that there are some false teachers using references to my website and/or quotes from my devotional posts to bring attention and acceptability to their false teachings. Their false teachings are being promoted through books they write and websites they maintain.

Some of these false teachers are what is called “prosperity preachers”. They use and twist God’s word to imply that all those who follow and support their particular teachings will receive all sorts of spiritual signs, wonders, healings, debt cancellations, riches, and “blessings” of every sort. Because people really want riches and worldly “blessings”, they support these false teachers, who become very rich in the process.

Other false preachers are using some of my devotional posts that tell about how Christ Jesus is the fulfillment of all the Old Testament prophecies regarding our Savior. But, their writings contain every sort of false prophecy for the future of this world — and they imply that my devotionals support their false teachings. They don’t. In some cases, these false preachers are also asking for monetary support.

We need to think about that, get grounded in God’s word in the Bible, and hold tightly onto God’s word. There are many Bible verses that warn us against false teachers and preachers, since false preachers have been around since the beginning of time. God’s word tells us:

Psalm 119:36 — Incline my heart to Your testimonies, and not to dishonest gain.

Luke 12:15 — Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.

Hebrews 13:5 — Let your way of life be free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you.”

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 — For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.

I just want all of the readers of my posts to know that I have not given anyone permission to use anything I’ve written as a support for their teachings and doctrinal views. Frankly, these false teachers have not even asked for permission to use anything from this website. The only permissions I have given are for some lay Christians to share an occasional post on Facebook and once to print a post in a monthly church newsletter.

What I have written is plain and only to the point of what God’s word has already stated and fulfilled in Christ Jesus, our Savior. Anything that goes beyond that is not from me and does not have my approval.

Thank you for being careful about everything you read and for strongly clinging to God’s given word.

Love,
Margaret
