PREMONITIONS!
Deut 29:29
29 The
secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed
belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of
this law.
Heb 1:1-2
1 God,
who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers
by the prophets,
2 Hath
in these last days spoken unto us by his Son.
1 John 4:1
4 Beloved,
believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because
many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Merriam-Webster
defines premonition as: a feeling or belief that something is going
to happen when there is no definite reason to believe it will. If you
sit long enough, and listen carefully enough, to older people you will
sometimes hear stories of near-death premonitions. I have heard many of these
stories as a pastor while sitting with the old and sick. Perhaps they were
visited by a long dead relative or loved one and have even been beckoned to
“come over.” There is not enough evidence to believe or to doubt.
Acts
2:17 quotes Joel 2:28 which says that: “it shall come to
pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons
and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young
men shall see visions.” However, our primary means of determining God’s will
and direction is through the written Word – The Bible. Any other revealed
information is not only suspect but should be subjected to the scrutiny of the
Bible’s clear teaching.
Stories
that make your skin crawl – especially when they come true –
are the stuff of campfires and ‘smores.
We dare not build our frame on such a shaky foundation.
John 5:39
39 Search
the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they
which testify of me.
Dear
Lord, when my spirit is troubled and uncertain, let me resort to the clear
teachings of the Bible. Lead me in a clear path today by faith. AMEN
