On the danger of following false private revelations....


Lk 12:42 says, 'Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over the household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
Lk 16:10 says, 'He who is faithful in least is faithful also in much'. God usually tests our obedience in the little things. He gave a simple test to Adam and he failed.
God has always needed people to work with Him. But He cannot entrust great things unless He finds us faithful in little things. When we obey Him in little things, we take God into confidence and He can trust us with more. God not only trusts us with more, He also gives us our portion of meat in due season. He will make sure that there is no shortage in your house. Isn't that good?
Those minor acts of disobedience will dry up the flow of the Sprit just like the major ones will. All the small things of obedience combine to become doing God's will in our lives.
