WHAT people LISTEN to

 

Proverbs 8:13

King James Version

13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: 

pride, 

and arrogancy, 

and the evil way, 

and the froward mouth, 

do I hate.


Man has many gods.

Certainty for destruction.

That's what people listen to.

JESUS admonished us:

Luke 16:15

King James Version

15 And he said unto them, 

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 

but God knoweth your hearts: 

for that which is highly esteemed among men 

is abomination in the sight of God.


John 8:44-45

King James Version

44 Ye are of your father the devil, 

and the lusts of your father ye will do. 

He was a murderer from the beginning, 

and abode not in the truth, 

because there is no truth in him. 

When he speaketh a lie, 

he speaketh of his own: 

for he is a liar, 

and the father of it.

45 And because I tell you the truth, 

ye believe me not.


The WORD of GOD also declared the following:

Isaiah 30:9-12

King James Version

9 That this is a rebellious people, 

lying children, 

children that will not hear the law of the Lord:

10 Which say to the seers, 

See not; 

and to the prophets, 

Prophesy not unto us right things, 

speak unto us smooth things, 

prophesy deceits:

11 Get you out of the way, 

turn aside out of the path, 

cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, 

Because ye despise this word, 

and trust in oppression and perverseness, 

and stay thereon:


1 Corinthians 3:19-20

King James Version

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. 

For it is written, 

He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

20 And again, 

The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, 

that they are vain.


Ephesians 4:14

King James Version

14 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 craftiness, 

whereby they lie in wait to deceive;


Ephesians 5:11

King James Version

11 And have no fellowship 

with the unfruitful works of darkness, 

but rather reprove them.


Colossians 2:8

King James Version

8 Beware lest any man spoil you 

through philosophy and vain deceit, 

after the tradition of men, 

after the rudiments of the world, 

and not after Christ.


1 Timothy 4:7

King James Version

7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, 

and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.


2 Peter 1:16

King James Version

16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, 

when we made known unto you the power and coming 

of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.


In SUMMARY, here's what we listen to:

-- "that which is highly esteemed among men" 

-- "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do"

-- "this is a rebellious people, 

lying children, 

children that will not hear the law of the Lord"

-- "speak unto us smooth things, 

prophesy deceits"

-- "ye despise this word, 

and trust in oppression and perverseness, 

and stay thereon"

-- "the wisdom of this world"

-- "carried about with every wind of doctrine, 

by the sleight of men, 

and cunning craftiness" 

-- "unfruitful works of darkness"

-- "philosophy and vain deceit, 

after the tradition of men, 

after the rudiments of the world,

and not after Christ"

-- "profane and old wives' fables"

-- "cunningly devised fables"


Know what, and who, you listen to.

As born again, I listen only to the TRIUNE GOD.

The FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY SPIRIT.

The ONLY TRUE POWER.
