Even If i Walk Alone

Instructing and encouraging you to live your life as a disciple of Jesus

Revelation

September 19, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

Rarely does a day go by where I don’t come across some so-called prophet proclaiming a fresh word or vision from God. It’s always something new, and never something from scripture. Brothers and sisters, we don’t need something fresh or new. We have the eternal Word of God revealed in the pages of scripture and manifested in our lives by the Holy Spirit. God’s Word is complete and sufficient. It does not need an update.

If you are looking for something fresh, you are looking for something other than Jesus. His Word is eternal. It does not change. It is not evolving. What God has said, He will do. If you want some divine revelation, then open your Bible and read. Revelation is found between the covers of God’s Word, not on some random YouTube channel.

Read God’s Word

March 24, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

In the last post (see “Test the Spirits”), we discussed being on the lookout for false teachers and teaching, and the need to always test what we hear by holding it up to the standard of God’s Word. I wanted to say a bit more about those things today. Perhaps more than any other point in my lifetime, there is a lot of noise in the community of believers. We certainly live in fascinating times, and many are taking the opportunity to promote their ideas on why things are unfolding as they are.

They carefully select scriptures (typically a single verse to avoid the context of the passage) to make their case. Some do this for sheer notoriety. Others base entire ministries on it and are taking full advantage of current events to fill the coffers of their ministries. Now more than ever, we must be discerning. We must cut through the noise and read God’s Word.

Test the Spirits

March 21, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

1 John 4 begins with a somewhat curious phrase. John encourages the hearers of his letter to “test the spirits”. First, this implies there are many spirits. In our churches today, it is common to hear about the Holy Spirit, but there is often little attention paid to the other spirits in our world. We ignore these other spirits at our peril. Behind every false teaching, you will find a demonic source.

Yes, demons are real. They exist and flood the spiritual realm surrounding us. When we go along with false teaching, we are following demons. How’s that for a sobering thought? If we are not careful in examining the teaching we are listening to, there is a very good chance we aren’t being taught God’s truth at all. Instead of growing in our faith, we are opening our minds to demonic influences.
