But God Said

I've heard people tell me, "But God said . . . " Now to be honest with you - I usually take that as a caution sign. When people use God as an excuse to get what THEY want - trouble is going to follow. There is a simple process that you can use to determine if what they said is what God said. #1 - What they say lines up with God's Word. God will never contradict Himself. So if a person says, "God told me that He is going to heal me." I'll agree, because the Bible supports it. But if what they say doesn't line up with God's Word, then I know that God didn't say it. #2 - What they say honors God and His will. There are some things that the Bible doesn't specifically talk about. But if we know His Word and His Character - it usually isn't very hard to discover His will. I'll go along with it because it honors God. #3 - They are willing to allow what they say to be tested by others of faith. Thi
