Good afternoon and Thankful Thursday. As I begin this teaching there have been times in all of our lives that we have been told things, gotten reports or did not think we could accomplish something because of what others have told us. We then have a tendency to believe these things and make them truths about ourselves. But even though they seem true they are not. We as a people of God are being told False Positives.
In seeking the definition of the phrase false positive I go to dictionary.com. False positive means as follows; a test result that is incorrect because the test indicated a condition or finding that does not
exist. There are so many of us who have been told the wrong things such as our health is failing, our jobs are not secure or our homes are being loss. The next three paragraphs will give examples in the Word of God of false positives.
In going to the first example if a False Positive in the Word of God I go to Numbers 22:22-35. In this passage Balaam attempts to go against what God has told him to do. The lure of money or fame
was too great for him to not to see a condition that did not exist. But we have an awesome God who will give us the right diagnosis even when we do not think that it can happen, False Positive.
In looking at the second example in the Word of God of a False Positive I go to Daniel 3:8-25. In this passage we see where three Hebrew boys refused to allow themselves to serve a golden image that
could not measure to the blessings and the favor that God provided for them. There are those who want your condition to be something that is not true. It is a False Positive.
In looking at the last example of False Positive in the Word of God I go John 19:5-16. In this passage the chosen people of God have a chance to make everything right and free Jesus and acknowledge he
is the Son of God. But they refuse and want him to be out of their lives. Most of us have been told by people of God that we are not going to do this or that but God is in control not man. False Positive.
So in closing I want to encourage you on today although you have been told that your play or television idea will not work, your idea for a social media site is whack and your business idea will not work that your are dealing in the false positive. Those who say that you cannot start that new school or change the binding aspects of religion are dealing with the false positive. And to those who say you will not win elected offices or make a difference in the lives of family are dealing in the false positive. Trust God and he will make all come to pass. If you can please come to Rhema Word 2.0 at Valley Kingdom East or West and to services afterward or please attend Sunday School or services near you. Have a great week,
Fred Wesley is the Technology Teacher for Rhema Word 2.0 at Valley Kingdom Ministries International.
