It is written by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah 29:
13 Therefore the Lord said:
“Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths and honor Me with their lips,
But have removed their hearts far from Me,
And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,
14 Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work
Among this people, A marvelous work and a wonder;
For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.”
FATHER guards HIS pure Truth even though men in their worldly wisdom think they can prevail by using deceptive devices to cover up the pure Truth. FATHER will raise up those whom HE has designated to uncover the lies and deception thus allowing the pure Truth to once again come forth and expose all.
Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 4:
2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
What Paul is describing here has been occurring for the last several years. Men have sought after the wisdom of the world because of their “itching ears” or an insatiable curiosity to hear new things. They are not content to walk in the simplicity of Christ and spend quality time meditating on the pure Truth given to us by FATHER. They seek after some new formula or another great mystery which has possibly been held back from mankind as though they view themselves as the movie character Indiana Jones finding the lost treasure.
Those itching ears seek out teachers who are more than willing to bring another into their fold of cult thinking. Of course they claim to have the answer to success and blessing which happens to always be just out of reach. The willing participants quickly forget the recent failures of their word and place their hope in some new “revelation” of the teacher which trumps the previous revelation. Weeks, months, and years pass without any real fruit coming forth.
On the other hand we should continue pursuing the pure Truth provided by FATHER and minister to those who have ears to hear. Our trust is with FATHER and HIS Word. We are to remain vigilant when it comes to the teaching by those who would subtly tickle our ears with some new doctrine which on the surface seems to contain truth but our spirit senses that something is amiss. We must guard our hearts and allow The Most Holy Spirit to provide us a witness. As we are led by THE SPIRIT we will be able to discern the pure Truth from the “commandments of men”.
