Hello brothers and sisters, I have a question that may be sensitive to some. Often I hear people saying, “the Lord told me…” And “God said…” And every time I hear that it is always in reference to what that person desires or wants to do.
Here’s an example, someone said, that God told him that him and his wife (who was already pregnant) were going to have a son and that they were to name the child a specific name. But low and behold they did not have a son, rather, they had a daughter and named her something else.
I can’t help but to think, that people who claim to get so called “revelation” from God can very much be a dangerous movement and many are falling into it, especially a lot of young immature believers. Now mind you, I don’t discount that God can speak to someone, but I believe good fruit would follow.
What are your thoughts on this?
