"THESE PEOPLE"

“These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.” 2 Peter 2:17

“These people” mentioned in 2 Peter 2:17 are false prophets. False prophets who have come into the early church and mislead, manipulate, and teach false doctrine. We still have them today. Charlatans and snake oil salesmen. Spiritual illusionists and religious magicians who feed on the weakness of believers and seeker alike, convincing them of things that sounds biblical and emotionally seductive. But, they are all the same with regards to their end goals, greed, avarice, power, fame and self-consumption. Often they are cultic leaders with huge personas or humble facades. These people, men and women are pretending to be part of the Body of Christ or above it. They tend to lord over their followers by promising blessings, staging miracles and using every form of deception imaginable. False prophets will do anything for gain. But, there is no substance to them; they are an oasis that doesn’t exist, a mirage that tricks the minds of the thirsty. They are all thunder, lightning, theatrics, and high clouds that provide no rain. There is a punishment for them that defy description, so the absence of light will be there destination.
God loves His sheep and protects them. Be warned. Be careful. Don’t be fooled. Check everything out through sources you can truly trust. Trust His Word above any preacher or teacher. Make sure you are not being led astray, or haven’t been in the past and won’t be in the future. Please be careful.

In His service,
Pastor Fred
