7-Step QT Notes

1. 🙏 Quiet Time

Pause.
Take a deep breath.
Ask God to help you discern truth from noise—and to recognize His voice above all others.

2. 📅 August 6, 2025

Today’s passage reminds us that not every message labeled “Christian” is truly from God.
We need spiritual discernment to recognize what reflects His heart.

3. ✝️ Ezekiel 13:17–23

God speaks against false prophetesses who mislead His people with deceptive visions.
They offer comfort and hope—but not truth.
God promises to rescue His people from their influence:
“You shall no more see false visions nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand…” (v. 23)

God’s justice exposes lies.
His truth sets people free.

4. 📖 Key Verse

“You shall no more see false visions nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand. And you shall know that I am the LORD.” (v. 23)

5. 📝 Reflection

In a world flooded with sermons, prophecies, and spiritual content—especially online—it’s easy to be drawn to messages that feel good.
But not all “Christian” content is Christ-centered.
True words from God reveal His character, uphold His justice, and bring life to the soul.
They don’t just comfort—they convict, guide, and transform.

💡 Application Point:

  • Are you seeking messages that affirm your feelings—or ones that reveal God’s truth?
  • Do the voices you follow point to Jesus—or to themselves?
  • Ask God for discernment to recognize what truly comes from Him.

6. 💬 What does this passage speak to you today?

  • What voices are influencing your spiritual walk right now?
  • How can you filter what you hear through the lens of God’s Word?

7. 🙏 Prayer

God, help me recognize Your voice in a world full of noise.
Give me discernment to know what is true and what is false.
Let me seek Your truth—not just comfort.
Deliver me from deception, and lead me in Your ways.
Amen.

Scriptures

📖 17 “And you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own hearts. Prophesy against them 18 and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the women who sew magic bands upon all wrists, and make veils for the heads of persons of every stature, in the hunt for souls! Will you hunt down souls belonging to my people and keep your own souls alive? 19 You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, putting to death souls who should not die and keeping alive souls who should not live, by your lying to my people, who listen to lies.
20 “Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against your magic bands with which you hunt the souls like birds, and I will tear them from your arms, and I will let the souls whom you hunt go free, the souls like birds. 21 Your veils also I will tear off and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand as prey, and you shall know that I am the LORD. 22 Because you have disheartened the righteous falsely, although I have not grieved him, and you have encouraged the wicked, that he should not turn from his evil way to save his life, 23 therefore you shall no more see false visions nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand. And you shall know that I am the LORD.” (Ezek 13:17-23, ESV).
