Think before you "Like" and "Share"

With  26,606 likes and 14,746 talking about this, who WOULDN'T be tempted to jump on the bandwagon?!?  If you're on facebook, you know what I mean.

Friends!  Before you hit the "like" and "share" buttons, do a little research, will ya?!

As inspirational/humorous/interesting as some of the stuff that crosses my path is, I'm increasingly wary of their sources.  Some of the information is downright false--as in inaccurate.  Untrue!  Some of the material is seductive and deceptive. And while it appeals to SOMEthing in us, too many times it is our "flesh" or lower nature!

I tracked one of the items shared on my facebook wall by a Christian yesterday back to its source where the originator was enthusiastically described THIS way: 

"I need the world to know that T*** K*** is one helluva gifted psychic intuitive. Wow. I had no idea, ...! Her gifts are profoundly intuitive and cut through to that which is most essential and in need of healing and transforming. Her delivery is compassionate and at times, really freakin’ funny! Humor and mirth are so important for carrying difficult truths up from the depths and into the light..."

and another raved:  

"I feel fortunate to have experienced a Shamanic clearing that T*** facilitated. Her profound awareness of stuck karmic energy in my chakras, and her visualizations that helped me find my wholeness again were profoundly healing."

REALLY?!?

Ken Silva expresses my concern better than I can HERE saying that if the "...content does not agree with Scripture and is outside of the sphere of material that God has revealed in the Bible, the spiritual source of the message is not God’s Spirit. We live in the time of great deception and apostasy. It is a time when the Biblical tools for discernment are needed more than ever. We need to take these objective tools and apply them to what we hear being taught in God’s name. Each of us might be shocked to find out that we have been listening to spirits and not the Spirit of God. We must run to the gospel and begin building our houses on the rock."

Silva says that people rarely ask, “Is it true?” but ask instead, “Does it work for me?”.  

We can, we MUST do better than this, my friends!  

Paul, in 2 Timothy 3, tell us to have nothing to do with such people--and I would add with such sites! "They are the kind who work their way into people's homes and win the confidence of vulnerable women who are burdened with the guilt of sin and controlled by various desires...always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of truth."

Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth.
