DO NOT ASCRIBE TO BE ONE WAY AND DO ANOTHER

     AND THE LORD SAID, "Since people say they are mine but they do not obey me; and since their worship amounts to mere words learned by rote; therefore I will take awesome vengeance on those hypocrites and make their wisest counselors as fools" {Isaiah 29:13-14}

We are living in a time and season where the world is be-riffed with dastardly acts of inhumane treatment of other human beings. On many occasions someone is being molested, sexually assaulted, shot, maimed, or killed by law enforcement officers. Outlandsous acts of violence have become routine behavioral patterns across the landscape of America. Seemly, a state of Hypocrisy does exist. The word "hypocrite" means "play-act" to claim to be a certain person while acting like someone else.  The creator is not pleased with such behavior, especially those who claim to be His followers, i.e, such as the Pentecostals, spiritual leaders who outright embrace and supported the Big Lie of the former POTUS Donald Trump. 

There are consequences abound. "These people say they honor me, but their hearts are far away. Their worship is worthless, for they teach their man-made laws instead of those from God {Matthew 15;8}. We are aware of the notion, that we all sin and fall short of the Glory of God. Meaning, that all slip and fall to become capable of 'hypocrisy. However, there are provisions for a way back from the dark side to be a part of the marvelous light of the "Truth of God'. Such efforts for the way back require obedience, honesty, sincerity, and trust. 

Beware and Know that; whatever has been said and done in the dark shall eventually be heard in the light, and what has been whispered in the inner rooms shall be broadcast from the rooftops for all to hear. This world as we know it shall one day have its final acts and will be drawn to a close. Upon the occasion when Jesus will come back as he has promised. During the occasion of Jesus's return, God's 'wrath shall be at play. The first to receive God's wrath will be those who have been play-acting with God {Isiah 29:13-14} 

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to prevent others from misrepresenting before Jesus Christ. The only person you can help from being a hypocrite is yourself. Here are a few ways to help from becoming a hypocrite:

~First, watch your own actions closely, strive to Keep God in Front of Mind Consciousness {read 2 Corinth 13:5}

~Secondly, do not come down on other people too hard, remember the difference is if you do the right thing you shall have the dispensation of 'The Gift of Forgiveness"

~Thirdly, be quick to admit when you make a mistake-true humility is rare in our culture. But strive to embrace it. Others are drawn more closely to you when you readily admit your mistakes. and that sets up a unique and rare sense of 'trust'. It bodes well for your authenticity and you're being genuine.
