The itching ears message

We are living is a time that was foretold of where people will seek out a doctrine that is pleasing to them, even though it is not the truth of the gospel of God. Scripture calls this a people who have itching ears and they seek out teachers who will tell them what they want to hear and not what they need to learn for their salvation (2 Timothy 4:1-5) I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

 It is not unusual for people to buy into lies and false doctrines, in fact the Lord says there are people who love to have it that way. The problem is there is not the fear of the Lord in the earth as there should be, and although sin in our life keeps the good from us, there will still be those who do not care for the Lord and His righteous way! A people who believe God will continually stay His hand from bringing judgment over the earth. (Jeremiah 5:21-31) Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it? But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you. For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

 God feels so strongly of those who choose to not accept His truth and righteousness that He will send them strong delusion so they can believe a lie, and forfeit their chance to be saved (2 Thessalonians 2:9-14)   Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  1. I am literally astounded by what people will actually buy into and believe. They show little desire to think critically and question and are happy to follow whatever popular narrative no matter how weak… reminds me of the pied piper… the father of lies playing the tune.

    • I have often had the like a pied piper thought……. YES it also amazes me how people just follow and not question, which is why Jesus said like sheep they are led astray as they just go with the herd no questions asked. YIKS. Their thought is like Sammy the squirrel is following that so I guess I will too. Blessings.
