------ If we speak with pride people they will silence you or try to convict you with wor...ldly words
(Proverbs 18:17) In a... law suit the first to speak seems right, until someone comes forward and cross-examines.
----------- LORD IS testing you always
(Deuteronomy 13:1-3)
If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a sign or wonder, and if the sign or wonder spoken of takes place, and the prophet says, “Let us follow other gods” (gods you have not known) “and let us worship them,” 3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul.
(Job 7:17-18)
“What is mankind that you make so much of them, that you give them so much attention, that you examine them every morning and test them every moment?
(Proverbs 16:2)
All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the LORD.
--------- Two third will fall of
(Zechariah 13:9)This third I will put into the fire, I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them, I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’”
--------- We are NOT to please men
(1 Thessalonians 2:4)
On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts.
--------- Check everything with Gods word
(Job 12:11)
Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes food?'
You are correct in seeing the apostasy in virtually all of what man calls church and calls Christian. Most of it is of the devil. But there are many sides to Babylon. The powers of darkness guard the way to the tree of life. They are what we must overcome in addition to purging sin. They are the testers of all faith that our jealous God sends to purify and redeem for Himself a pure and spotless Bride. Do not be overcome by their deception. Escaping the perverted grace gospel is not enough, you must also escape the allure of legalism and pride amongst others.
There are many tests
While man saves nobody, it is all the work of God, we are not to be idle and unproductive in His service. Maybe the Lord has you doing nothing for a season, that is between you and God, but for many others of us in the “little flock”, God has sent us and called us to plants seeds, water seeds, be watchmen, do deliverance etc. We all don’t have the same walk or the same ministry.
We are ONE BODY and we all have different parts to play. The main thing is making sure one is in the Body of Christ and is not a tare. You correctly have noted that the true sons of God are led by the Spirit of God. Do not quench the Spirit that is working in God’s other people.
