There are wolves out there in sheep’s clothing, so warns the word of God.How do we recognize them? In these days of rampant deception, what’s to prevent us in our fanatical zeal, to go on an unwarranted ‘witch-hunt’?Has God left us as orphans to fend for ourselves in this mad bad world?

We, need discernment, we need wisdom.
Nehemiah discerned the ‘warnings’ of man. Neh 6:10-14 :Shemaiah was sent on the behest of Sanballat and Tobiah, to frighten Nehemiah. In fact the prophetess, Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, all alike, wanted to put Nehemiah in fear.These enemies did not want Nehemiah to build for God.

But Nehemiah was able to discern that these were not sent by God.

If such are trying to frighten you, bring it before God as Nehemiah did.He will stop them.Noah received a warning of the coming days from God. Gen 6:13,14If the warnings before you are of God, He will give you the specifications for building the Ark.God will supply you with the Manifesto of the passenger list and enumerate the exact nature of the cargo you are to carry.Nehemiah did not let the fear, originating from man, deter him.Noah and Nehemiah were men who had the fear of God in them.Neither mockery, nor opinions nor fears of men, deterred them from building.And God was with them.

They recognized the origin of the word that came to them.
Can we?
