‘Be Aware.’
a) 1 John 4:1. This is written to the family of God:-
1-Do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Holy Spirit.
2-Test the speaker to see if the spirit they have really comes from God.
3-There are many false prophets in the World.
b) 1 Thessalonians 5:21. Test everything that is said, hold on to what is good.
c) Titus 1:9. Show those people who oppose right teaching where they are wrong.
d) Acts 2:42. We should follow the Early Church pattern.
(This QT urges me to Be Aware)

‘Restoration Begins.’
a) Nehemiah 3:10, 23 & 29-30. People were arranged to begin the work at the nearest place to their own house. (When Restoration begins it should begin in our own life, home and home Church first.)
b) 1 Corinthians 15:33; 2 Corinthians 6:14. If we are going to experience Restoration we need to be wise in our choice of friends.
c) Deuteronomy 33:12. When we are Loved by the Lord:-
1-We live in safety beside Him.
2-He surrounds us continuously.
3-He preserves us from every harm.
d) 1 Corinthians 3:11. As we rebuild on the foundation of Jesus Christ.
e) 1 Timothy 6:5-10. When money ceases to be the motivating force of our Faith life.
f) Mark 4:19. When we renounce the unfruitful way of life.
(This Second one teaches me that there is often preparation beforehand when the time for Restoration Begins)

Chris.
There are many false prophets in the World. Apostle John, late in his life wrote about this fact at that time. The situation has not changed in the many years since John wrote. Today the situation is exactly the same. Beware of false prophets.
