Hello everyone! Today, I’d like to study some more with you about speaking against others. Today’s topic is John The Baptist. We’ll be reading from Matthew and Luke. Let’s pray:
Father, we come humbly to You today. We ask that You would show us the right path concerning who to warn against and who not to. In Your Holy Scriptures, there is a prescedent set forth, and I know that You, O Lord, do not contradict Your Word. We thank You in advance, Holy Spirit, for reproving, rebuking, exorting, edifying, and doing what only You can do as we read this and go on this adventure. Write Your laws and precepts in our hearts, we pray! In Jesus’ name, by the power and the authority of His Name, by faith in the Word of God, by the third day resurrection of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and by the blood of the Lamb, amen!
I’ll be posting the Scriptures themselves and let you form your own oppinions. God bless!
“He even publicly rebuked Antipas, son of Herod, the governor of Galilee, for the many wicked things he had done. He fearlessly reprimanded him for seducing and marrying his sister-in-law, Herodias.”
Luke 3:19 TPT

“But when he saw many coming from among the wealthy elite of Jewish society and many of the religious leaders known as Pharisees coming to witness the baptism, he began to denounce them, saying, “You offspring of vipers! Who warned you to slither away like snakes from the fire of God’s judgment? You must prove your repentance by a changed life. And don’t presume you can get away with merely saying to yourselves, ‘But we’re Abraham’s descendants!’ For I tell you, God can awaken these stones to become sons of Abraham! The axe is now ready to cut down the trees at their very roots. Every fruitless, rotten tree will be chopped down and thrown into the fire. Those who repent I baptize with water, but there is coming a Man after me who is more powerful than I am. In fact, I’m not even worthy enough to pick up his sandals. He will submerge you into union with the Spirit of Holiness and with a raging fire! He comes with a winnowing fork in his hands and comes to his threshing floor to sift what is worthless from what is pure. And he is ready to sweep out his threshing floor and gather his wheat into his granary, but the straw he will burn up with a fire that can’t be extinguished!””

Now, this is only half. I’m only doing 1 or 2 gospels at a time, so just bear with me. Let us think on these things until the next time. I have presented 2 Scriptures before you today concerning John The Baptist and who he rebuked and warned against. God bless!
