261st Post Jesus Said on Kingdom of God Con't. - Matthew 7:21 - 23.

Matthew 7: 21 - 23; Luke 6: 46, 13: 24.
Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord," shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?" And I will declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!"
This was spoken by Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount about 1.1/2 years into His earthly ministry.
This passage scares me also. These people were able to cast out demons, do many wonders and even prophesied in Jesus name and they were told to depart. I have not been able to do any of these things. They were told to depart because they knew the will of the Father, but did not do it. I am trying to do the will of the Father. Jesus told us to be doers and not just hearers of His Word.
The people in this story were able to do great things because they performed them in Jesus' Name! His name is powerful! But they were not committed to Jesus. This could be the way the "Anti-christ" will fool us when he comes. I hope not, because this will fool lots of people. We as believer's do not know the Word of God good enough, to be able to know when someone is misquoting it! Satan is just sneaky enough to use this fact to his advantage. You will not be one of these, if you get connected to God and stay connected. How do we do that? Read John chapter 15 and do what it says, and you will become a doer as well as a hearer of God's Word and will do His Will!!
