Knowing Them By Their Fruit ...

Written by Joyce C. Lock


A prophet is to be proclaiming things heard from God. Whenever God speaks, scripture supports it ... though probably not where someone points, "Thus saithrepparttar Lord," stealing God's words (running when He didn't send them).

Prophets guide people through their wilderness. You will know them by their fruit, as God reserves spiritual gifts for those who haverepparttar 126596 heart for it.

Withinrepparttar 126597 Bible is God's definition for most every word of significance given in scripture. God is His own best commentator. Teachers forgot to teach themselves.

If you are really interested in God's intent, ask Him. Searchrepparttar 126598 scriptures. If you seek God, with your whole heart, He will reveal himself to you. And when His Spirit writesrepparttar 126599 words upon your heart (which isrepparttar 126600 truth, as He cannot lie), you will come to 'know' God in newfound ways. The words of His mouth are our necessary food.

Some teach, if you pick just one verse, you are taking it out of context. How, on earth could you have taken it out of context if God spoke it to your heart? However God speaks to your need, that word is infallible. Though, it might be true if you are selecting a verse to support your thinking (telling God what He believes).

The Preacher's Answer

What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh underrepparttar sun?

~ The Preacher's Answer ~

(suggested midi - Sanctuary)

Irepparttar 126595 Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards: I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits: I made me pools of water, to water therewithrepparttar 126596 wood that bringeth forth trees: I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me: I gathered me also silver and gold, andrepparttar 126597 peculiar treasure of kings and ofrepparttar 126598 provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, andrepparttar 126599 delights ofrepparttar 126600 sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.

So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me. And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.

There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was fromrepparttar 126601 hand of God. For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?

What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?

He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath setrepparttar 126602 world in their heart, so that no man can find outrepparttar 126603 work that God maketh fromrepparttar 126604 beginning torepparttar 126605 end. And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoyrepparttar 126606 good of all his labour, it isrepparttar 126607 gift of God.

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. I said in mine heart, God shall judgerepparttar 126608 righteous andrepparttar 126609 wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him? Moreoverrepparttar 126610 profit ofrepparttar 126611 earth is for all:repparttar 126612 king himself is served byrepparttar 126613 field.

Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoyrepparttar 126614 good of all his labour that he taketh underrepparttar 126615 sun allrepparttar 126616 days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.
