NO SUBSTITUTE FOR GOD'S WORD
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.--2 Timothy 3:16
Some will accept and promulgate the error, and when the reproof comes that will place matters in the true light, those who have had little experience and who are ignorant of the oft-repeated workings of Satan, will cast away with the rubbish of error that which has been before them as truth. Thus the light and warnings which God gives for this time will be made of no effect....
It is no light matter to substitute of God's revealed will opinions and assertions, dreams, symbols, and figures, from human finite beings. Our actions, words, spirit, and influence are watched and criticized. Those whom God has chosen to be His ministers are to settle solidly into His Word, and let the Word of God be their authority....
There will be counterfeit messages coming from persons in all directions. One after another will rise up, appearing to be inspired, when they have not the inspiration of heaven,, but are under the deception of the enemy. All who receive their messages will be led astray. Then let us walk carefully, and not open wide the door for the enemy to enter through impressions, dreams, and visions. God help us to look in faith to Jesus, and be guided by the words He has spoken. (Letter 66, April 10, 1894)
REFLECTION: The devil is the master of deception. He has always had a counterfeit for everything that points to God. However, we have God's Word to decide the true from the fake." "To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to the word, it is because there is no light in them." (Isaiah 8:20)
