And before you answer too quickly, I want you to understand that many don\u2019t hear who think they do. They have convinced themselves, but they have also had help in the convincing. Many\u2014thousands upon ten thousands\u2014will sit in churches across our land this morning convinced that they are hearing God because someone is standing in the pulpit of their church preaching from the Bible. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">How can this be? Let&#8217;s look at the precedent we have available to us in the biblical record, and I believe that I can state without the least bit of hesitation or exaggeration, that we have overwhelming evidence of this very dynamic. As crazy or unlikely or preposterous as it may sound, we will see that the preacher, or the prophet, picks up God\u2019s word, tells lies and &#8230; the people love to hear it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Listen to the prophet Jeremiah:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(Jeremiah 5:31 NIV84) The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So what will we do when the end comes?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You can collect everyone\u2019s opinion and analyze data from Gallup polls or examine the latest from George Barna or follow social trends at the Pew Research Center. You can talk to all of your Christian friends and read books and attend seminars and listen to all of your favorite preachers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But will your information match God&#8217;s information?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cHe who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What will you do when the end comes? What happens in the end is all about being prepared before the end comes, having the right information before it is too late. The book of Revelation, really the entire Bible, is about preparation, and Revelation is the final chapter in the Book of Divine Preparation, the Bible.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.faithfellowship.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/PDF-REVELATION-MESSAGE-4-Revelation-The-Final-Chapter-of-Preparation-Revelation-2-ffc-dave-scott-100916-AM-STUDY-SHEET-1.pdf\">pdf-revelation-message-4-revelation-the-final-chapter-of-preparation-revelation-2-ffc-dave-scott-100916-am-study-sheet-1<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.faithfellowship.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/PDF-REVELATION-MESSAGE-4-Revelation-The-Final-Chapter-of-Preparation-Revelation-2-ffc-dave-scott-100916-AM-STUDY-SHEET-2.pdf\">pdf-revelation-message-4-revelation-the-final-chapter-of-preparation-revelation-2-ffc-dave-scott-100916-am-study-sheet-2<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.faithfellowship.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/PDF-REVELATION-MESSAGE-4-Revelation-The-Final-Chapter-of-Preparation-Revelation-2-ffc-dave-scott-100916-AM-STUDY-SHEET-3.pdf\">pdf-revelation-message-4-revelation-the-final-chapter-of-preparation-revelation-2-ffc-dave-scott-100916-am-study-sheet-3<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.faithfellowship.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/PDF-REVELATION-MESSAGE-4-Revelation-The-Final-Chapter-of-Preparation-Revelation-2-ffc-dave-scott-100916-AM-STUDY-SHEET-4.pdf\">pdf-revelation-message-4-revelation-the-final-chapter-of-preparation-revelation-2-ffc-dave-scott-100916-am-study-sheet-4<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHe who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.\u201d Christ exhorts each of the seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3 with those words. \u201cHe who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.\u201d Are we hearing God?
