"CAVEAT EMPTOR" (Let The Buyer Beware)
Brother James, OIC
Pro 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
Years back what feels like several lives ago I was a Realtor in Louisiana. We were taught a Latin phrase while in Real Estate School: "CAVEAT EMPTOR" or "LET THE BUYER BEWARE" as buyers buy at their own risk. It was a phrase to make a buyer think about what they were getting into.
Today more than ever this phrase needs to be heeded. Not just in the world where you make purchases. But more so in the Church Buildings as a Christian. You see my time and your time has value. We must be sure that what we spend our time on is worth it and we must know what we are getting into. Our time encompasses our lives and our lives are headed toward an eternal destiny. And what we agree with we purchase to its reward whether good or bad.
Gods Word rightly divided, received in understanding has many rewards Redemption, Transformation,
Son-ship to God, Power, Vision and Eternal Life. Yet we as Christians must beware what we hear. As Truth can be corrupted by the False Doctrines and False Solutions of this world and its god Satan.
Jesus Speaking:
Mar 8:15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
Mar 13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you..
Luk 8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
We are born into a lost and dying world. We are fallen infested with sin in our flesh and our only hope is that Truth will make us Free. To many ministers of Satan stand at the pulpits today. They are seemingly nice people, college degreed, show concern for their flock yet leaven (false doctrine) is in their hearts as they convince you the False Solutions and Cures of the world are from God.
Our lives need healing; physically, spiritually, emotionally and provisionally. Only acknowledging and agreeing with Truth in your heart will do that. Truth is not Truth if it is mixed with the doctrine of demons and seducing spirits. In your hands The New Testament has the Words of Life. All time from Eternity was pointing to this day where in Truth visited the Earth and became a Living New Creation within us. It is Gods Seed within for those who will pay the cost of true discipleship and reject the lies of Satan, thus buying the Truth. And it will do for us what it did for Jesus.
Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Joh 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Joh 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Joh 4:23-24 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth
Joh 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Jas 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Half Truths will avail you nothing. And sadly the only Truth most understand is the beginning of the Gospel The Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ then after that the devils ministers in the church house are busy stunting and aborting your growth with lies.
"CAVEAT EMPTOR - LET THE BUYER BEWARE": This is a wake up call for the Church as it is a very serious thing to know what is Truth and what isn't, your eternal destination is at stake, buy the Truth and do not sell it.
