FLATTERING VISIONS (PART 2).


TEXT: Ezekiel 12:22-25 (KJV) 
22 Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
24 For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25 For I am the Lord: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.
It amazes me to see how quickly some people are able to roll out one vision after another immediately they see someone they perceive to be in money and other material possessions. If you see a man whose major emphasis is on you being blessed by giving to him be careful, you may be dealing with a man with flattering vision.
If his message is full of threats and doom be careful you may be dealing with a false prophet.

From the word of God in 1 Corinthians 14:3 (AMP) we are made to understand that when someone has a prophecy the message is not to threaten people “
3 But [on the other hand], the one who prophesies [who interprets the divine will and purpose in inspired preaching and teaching] speaks to men for their up building and constructive spiritual progress and encouragement and consolation.” If the so called message from God does not line up with these scriptures just disregard it and move on with your life. God is always at work and we don’t need to help him. Just follow the word of the Lord as revealed in the Bible and the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth and who to listen to.  May the word of the Lord multiply abundantly in your heart in Jesus name. Amen. the Glory Realm Devotional by Rev. Igho Y.
