You know that the day and age in which we currently live in is filled with "Deceivers." The bible shares that even "the elect" will be deceived and all you have to do to discern the time we are living in is to turn on the television. You will see story after story after story of the elect and the deception that was their weakness. A deceiver is basically a liar in reality. They try to mask their lie with sweet words to warm up to you while they have their plans whirling around in their head how to take you down. Pause and look back on one of those former deceivers you let into your life. Now, remember the path of destruction that followed once the "warming of the heart" took place.
Tell tale signs to spot them: they are most helpful, always seem to be around when you need a helping hand. They can sweet talk you because deceit has taught them how to wiggle their way into your life. Give them enough time and they "trip up" all on their own. They don't even need help when it comes to this.
If they are continually gossiping and coming to you as a "snitch" or even in the guise of so & so needs prayer about...............and then they share that confidential information with you, that was just used as an opportunity to open the door and your heart to gossip. When a person has a genuine need for prayer for another person you can feel their heart-felt cry to you. At times, you may need to share some details to hit the "target" with the type of prayer that needs to be declared.
How many are ever so friendly to your face and then when you are not around they are talking about you? More than you care to acknowledge. That is unfortunate right? Place caution and test the fruits the person is operting in their life before you share with them. Let a person talk long enough and they'll show their true intent, motives, and even give away their plan of destruction handed right to you.
You see, these type of people are vain in nature and they just love to talk, talk, talk. One day they are talking about you but be of good cheer and rest assure that when you hear them talking about someone they at least aren't talking about you. The day will come if you give them enough time that they will do either 2 things:
#1 repent, give their heart to Jesus and change their ways
#2 dig their own grave for their plans of destruction that they plan in the dark/evil will be revealed in the light and exposed.
I don't know about you but I would rather repent than have my sins exposed to the world to see.
Father, I ask you in the name of Jesus to please forgive me if and when I" missed the mark" with you and shot a false arrow of accusation to someone or about someone. I ask you to cover that with your precious blood and renew my spirit with your life-giving spirit. Remove the episode from my memory and heart and clean me up. Start fresh again to cultivate that now empty space in my heart to be filled with your love since it has been removed from me. Father, in the name of Jesus, reach out and set free the deceivers of the world so they can live, talk, and breathe freedom in their life. Let the shackles of bondage and hurt be broken and removed in Jesus name. Set the captives of bondage free-free to proclaim "Jesus Christ has come in the flesh to come and claim His people." Amen and Amen.
