Deuteronomy 13:1-4
“If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods’—which you have not known—‘and let us serve them,’ you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the LORD your God is testing you to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
You shall walk after the LORD your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him…”
Deuteronomy 13:1-4

George,
Thank you SO MUCH for this passage! So many are led astray by “signs and wonders,” thinking they are confirmations that the indicated path is the correct one. This scripture so powerfully refutes that kind of muddles thinking. I like it so much I’m going to add it to my quotes on my Facebook page. Blessings to you, and on your actions in service to God, Steve
