I don't have any idea what you are talking about, Caroline. Where
does it say that Peter heard from Satan, and why would that have anything to
do with what I have heard.
The incidents follow one
another in Matthew 16. The Cornelius story is in Acts 10.
Paul's complaint about Peter is in Galatians. Your assignment is to think about what this says about us
walking the life of obedience.
Do I have to be great to hear from either God or Satan?
You ARE hearing from both RIGHT NOW. My question was
do you know the difference?
Do I have to be great to tell the
difference?
Even the great ones make
mistakes, Terry. And we are all expected to be on guard against deception -
whether we're great or small, young or old.
Do you not recognize the voice of either
one?
I'll give you a PT Barnum
paraphrase. Satan can fool all the people some of the time, some of the
people all the time but he can't fool all the people all the time. Satan can
come disguised as an Angel of Light and in healing ministries, we've
encountered lies he has sown into people's lives that are hard to remove.
Satan is not such an idiot that he comes to us in a voice of brimestone and
fire. Most often, his voice sounds JUST LIKE US. That is where the confusion
lies. We know when God speaks audibly to us. No one who has heard His audible
voice can forget or confuse that. But most of the time, we go by an internal
witness in our spirit or an understanding when we read the bible. That is
where the battle lies.
Why not go judge someone else until you get the hang of it,
then come back and explain to me how confused I am.
Someone needed to whack you upside
the head to wake you up. :-) Spiritual warfare 101.
