The Truth Shall Set you Free

The Lord showed me something unusual today. He showed me a frog being put into a pot of water. It is said that if you put a frog into a pot of boiling water, it will leap out right away to escape the danger. But, if you put the frog into a pot on a stove that is filled with cool water and then you gradually turn up the flame and heat the pot until the water starts boiling, the frog will not jump out. The reason for this is because the frog wouldn't be aware of the gradual increase in the heat. As the water is gradually heating up, the frog will become accustomed to the temperature and therefore it will not recognize the danger until it is too late. You see, a frog's survival instincts are geared towards detecting sudden changes.Elaine Tavolacci

The Holy Spirit showed me that in the same way there are some of you that are sitting under incorrect teaching and you don't realize the danger of it because you are so accustomed to it. You have been listening to doctrine that is misleading for such a long time that you don't even recognize that it is not only incorrect but also harmful. Some of you are hearing too many voices and this is bringing confusion and now you can not discern what is false from what is from the Holy Spirit any more. Jesus said this concerning the leading of the Holy Spirit.
John 16:13-15
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.
If you ask Jesus to lead you and guide you in the right direction He will not let you go astray. There are also some of you as well as ministers that have been judging the gifts of the Holy Spirit and therefore they are not manifested in your lives or in your congregations. Some of you are in fear of the supernatural and you are afraid of being led by demonic spirits. The Holy Spirit would never give us something contrary to the Word of God.
Luke 11: 10 – 13
For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!
Jesus is the Prince of Peace and He is not the author of confusion. If you want to be sure if what you are hearing and/or preaching is sound doctrine, you have to follow after peace. We serve a supernatural God and The Holy Spirit wants to do great things among us but we must allow Him by receiving all that He has for us.
