It may seem petty to some, that lies are going to be held against us-especially if they are what we call “little white lies”, but the LORD God does take everything that comes out of our mouths seriously.
In Matthew 12:36-37, there is a chilling statement made by the Lord Jesus Himself that should make us all think twice before speaking out whatever we want to say: “I tell you, on the Day of Judgment people will give account for EVERY careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
In Luke 6:-43-45, the Lord Jesus spoke on how we can know a person by their fruit-whether their character is good or evil; just like the tree that bears either good or bad fruit, so can the person’s intentions in their heart be known by what comes out of their mouth.
Jesus said in vs. 45, “The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.”
If from time to time, we unfortunately ignorantly believed people who lied to us, and/or passed that lie onto others, we should always confess those sins as well, but instead of just giving the benefit of the doubt to people when they tell us something that should have been checked out further, we should “test all things” and be that Berean (Acts 17:11) the Scriptures tell us to be, so we can know the truth (Jn. 8:32) about certain questionable topics or situations.
One of the most important things that we as Christians can do, is make sure we are HEEDING the Voice of the Holy Spirit in our lives throughout the day, and for each and every situation we find ourselves in.
I know it may sound tedious to do, but then again, if the Lord Jesus Christ our Judge is telling us that we are going to be held accountable for all that we have said and done, and for what we have allowed to come into our lives— whether it be good or bad deeds, or good or bad words to influence us— we then should take it more seriously, and put those questionable comments, topics, situations, etc. to the test, before we believe it ourselves, and end up sharing it with others.
I put two pics here of Scriptures that have been mentioned, so that you can read and hopefully retain in your heart, what they say.
It is evident of the longer one, that THIS generation (which I am pretty sure is the last; if we are not, then the LORD will spare one more time at least, to move mankind forward into Time, until “the appointed Time” of the End) and the way it has been in the last few years, SO vile, violent, arrogant, full of hatred of God and His Word AND His people, that unfortunately, this prayer of the Psalmist has not been answered.
There are those who have (and still are, thank God!) waking up to realization that we ARE on a increasingly rapid downspiral of humanity. The days of peace, obedience, and love for God and His Son are quickly being diminished, and the days of Sodom and Gomorrah (“as in the days of Lot”-Luke 17:28) and the days of Noah (Luke 17:26), are NOW upon us, and INCREASING.
But you need to read that WHOLE passage in Luke 17:26-30, for in verse 29, because of how the people were behaving in Lot’s day, the LORD God held back His anger no longer, and the day He charged two of His angels to get Lot and his family out of Sodom, “it rained fire and brimstone from Heaven, and destroyed them all” (vs. 29).
THAT is what is yet to come, because verse 30 states, “So it will be on the Day when the Son of Man is revealed.”
The Lord Jesus TOLD us 2000+years ago, that ALL the vile acts that we see INCREASING right now, as we live and breathe on this Earth TODAY, 2023, WOULD happen–and they ARE.
So do you realize what that means??
That means, HE is 100% RIGHT in ALL of His Word. Remember, He IS “THE” Word of God–He cannot leave any of what was to come, “out” just because it may “offend” some people. ALL of it WILL happen, just as the Scriptures said it would.
And it looks like that we ARE that “generation” to see and hear many of these “latter day” events come to pass.
So if you still have doubts about WHO the Lord Jesus is, WHO the Father is, and WHO the Holy Spirit is, and have concerns whether or not the Word of God is REAL–buckle up, buttercup (and I say that with all love and respect-I really do!💖), because
YOU HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING YET. We are entering into what is called, “the BEGINNING of sorrows” (Matt. 24:8), which happens BEFORE the time of the great Tribulation. Basically, it is the “woman in labor” and she is “contracting” even more so, as that time moves forward to the coming of the Anti-Christ.
After all, the world’s spiritual atmosphere must be in such a vile and ungodly state, as to want to ACCEPT this “man of sin, son of perdition” (2 Thess. 2:3).
I think we are pretty much “there”…I ended up having my daughter Ashley via c-section (she was breech), but I still was very much aware of the contractions that I should have had. I’d 🤔say this world is between 6-8 (15-20 minutes apart), leaning heavier on the 8(10-15minutes) , especially for what has taken place with all the vile Sodom and Gomorrah acts in the past year or so. It is quickly advancing towards those days of Noah and Lot which each and every passing day here in June, 2023.
Any woman (and I do mean ONLY women!) that has had contractions due to childbirth, KNOWS what I am talking about. Those last couple of numbers (8-10) can happen very quickly. Bottom line–If you’re approaching contractions less than 5 minutes apart (active labor), you better be on your way to the hospital, or else you’re having that baby at home!
Can you imagine what 6 months from now is going to look like?
Will we approach near the “10” (less than 5 minutes) by that time? No one knows, but I would seriously get your spiritual life in order now. Once the “birth pangs” start=once those contractions begin, sooner or later that baby is going to arrive on the scene. What has been foretold in such passages as Matthew 24, Luke 21, Mark 13, Daniel 12:1-4, 2 Tim. 3:1-5, 1 Thess. 5:2-5, Isaiah 2:12 (these are but a few).
It will increase in ungodliness, because the Lord Jesus TOLD us to EXPECT more of it, and lawlessness (which we are already living in right now!).
Do yourselves a favor, and make sure that you ARE on the side of the LORD God Almighty, and that the Captain of the Host, Adonai Elohim Tzevaot, is Your Savior, Lord, Master, and KING. Keep Him first and foremost in your lives NOW, from this day forward, if you have been lax in doing so. I beseech you now more than ever, to please make sure the Lord Jesus IS not only Savior, but LORD of your life. 🙏📖✝
So when you DO say, “Lord, Lord”–HE knows you MEAN it, and it is not just words coming out of your mouth (Luke 7:21).
