Beware of Lies and Liers!

Lies bring brokenness, truth brings freedom. We now live in a society that has become so desensitized to lying that it has become the norm rather than the exception. Satan is a pathological liar, and Jesus described him in John eight as the father of all lies. Friends, when you lie you are not just breaking one of the Ten Commandments that says “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour”. You are engaging in an action that places you squarely on the opposite side of Christ. You are choosing darkness rather than light. Lying ultimately brings bondage, heartache and eternal repercussions. 1.Why do People Lie? People lie out of Fear, to Shirk Responsibility, to Gain an Advantage, to Hurt others in order to discredit, damage & destroy, some lie to pretend to be godly, there are professionals who lie to gain financial gain by taking advantage of other people. There are some people who are habitual pathological and compulsive liars they lie because they have character problems because of personality behavior mental and psychological disorders. They lie out of habit. They are having Legion of demons in them. Some lie to avoid embarrassment, or lie to escape detection, to defend someone, to protect someone or lie to avoid punishment, or even lie to serve God etc 2.Those who Lie Will Perish: Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. Psalm 5:6 You destroy those who tell lies. Proverbs 19:9 …whoever pours out lies will perish. Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community. Revelation 22:14-15: Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. 3. If you lie you belong to Devil: Satan does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him (John 8:44). He continues, “Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” The Word of God tells us in 2 Corinthians 11:3-4, "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Many religious people are deceived themselves and are used by Satan, the enemy, to deceive others. John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Revelation 21:8: But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death. 4.Follower of Jesus Christ: A True Christian who will embrace truth and honesty and will reject the practice of deceit and practicing lying and we cannot call ourselves God’s children when we lie all the time and exaggerate truth. Jesus said all liars are Devil’s offspring because when we lie, we distort the truth like the Devil did back in the garden of Eden. Conclusion: Lying is a sin that pertains to the old self and abominable before God. The person who becomes a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17) must be truthful. Since all unrepentant, habitual liars go to hell. We must never forget lying can cost a man his soul. When we lie, we become slaves to lies and bondage with devil which robs us of our freedom. We need to examine ourselves and be careful to be honest in all things (Eph. 4:25). Since Christ kingdom is of honesty and truth, we need to be truthful and honest all the time. Zechariah 8:3 We know that Proverbs 13:5 says that “A righteous man hates lying”.

Pray for the Person who hurt you!

By Shaila Touchton If we have a mature prayer life, we will appeal to God for our foes, those who do wrong to us, and not scrutinize or discuss about them. We are to petition God for the individuals who despitefully utilize and mistreat us. At the point when individuals show the Godly affection and benevolent mentality that appeals to God for other people, they will become individuals of genuine supplication. Those are the individuals whose voices will be heard on High since they are practitioners of the Word. Petitioning God for the individuals who have violated us empowers us to deliver damages, hard feelings, and unforgiveness we have in our souls against them. Righteousness and justice are the foundations of His throne (Psalm 89:14), so He ALWAYS wants to bring righteousness and justice into EVERY situation. Pride shields us from seeing our wrongdoing to others. With stunning elegance, God uncovered reality to repent, reestablish, reconcile and restore us to completeness. When we surrender to God, He will send His Word heal us and delivered us from self-destruction. The blamer, the gossiper, the arrogant, and the victim are all offered fresh doses of mercy from God each and every day. The wicked person is volatile, given to sudden outbursts of rage which are unpredictable, frightening and destructive. God made the individuals who hurt us. He has a good plan for their lives. He knows the reasons behind their ruinous practices. He knows the falsehoods they accept about themselves. He is a Shepherd who pursues every sheep that wanders away from all He offers. When we fight back against wrong doers it creates an atmosphere of anger and resentment and it opens the door for the devil to create a distance between us. The devil looks for an opportunity to tear us down. There is a dark force of evil behind every lethal personality disorder and self-defensive coping mechanism. Every casualty in a relationship war has fallen prey to the one who steals, kills, and destroys. The great news is that God has far more power than Satan. The God of angel armies makes us ready for battle with His truth, salvation, faith, righteousness, peace, and the sword—the Word of God. His banner of victory flies over us. When we arm ourselves and pray, we salute His authority and partner with His plan for the family of God. We can choose to live prayerfully and humbly before God. He can help us love those who do not love us well with a pure heart. God has given us clear instructions to bless those who curse us and pray for the people who mistreat us (Luke 6:27–28). Jesus modeled this pure love for us on the cross, and when He washed Judas’ feet knowing he was going to betray Him. Jesus said, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:44). He also said, “Do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you” (Luke 6:27–28). Curses have long-lasting effects that can run from generation to generation. So be careful what you say to others! Say This Prayer: 1.The blessings of the Lord make me rich and he adds no sorrow with it. God is pleased with me and His favor endures for a lifetime. Heavenly Father, Pour your blessings upon my life and my family members in every area of our lives. Let all our ways be blessed, bless us when we woke up, when we go to sleep, when we go out, when we come into our homes, bless us when we travel and keep us safe from all evil and harm, in the Powerful Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2. Heavenly Father, Anoint my mind, body, soul, life, and my family members. Bless our finances, our houses, our food, our properties, our children, our families and our loved ones, bless those who has hurt us, who has accused us falsely, bless those who have spoken ill of us and who has cursed us, bless those who has persecuted us, bless those who have insulted us, belittled us, who condemned and mocked at us, who had pronounced their curses of destructions upon us, who has falsely accused us, who has brought tears to us, bless those who are angry at us. Those who have wronged us, I now forgive them and set aside our differences, as I allow the example of Christ to be my guide. I forgive every situation and every person I once held in my mind. They have mocked me, broken my heart, broken my trust, broken promises they have made, they laughed and they have degraded me, they were injustice to me, they have assassinated my character, betrayed me, and persecuted me. Lord Jesus, my savior and my defender Correct them and help them to experience Your unconditional love, joy, peace and happiness but, most of all, allow them to feel Your Holy presence and turn from their wicked ways. I pray that the person who has lied about me and caused hurt to my soul will see the error of their ways and will repent and turn back to you. I pray that they will be prevented from continuing in their destructive ways and prevented from hurting others In Jesus Holy Name I pray. 3.Father in Jesus Mighty Name, there is no distance in the spirit and I thank You for the person I am praying for who desires a prayer to stop lying and get Your divine help to be more truthful. They have embellished the facts and exaggerated a number of times and help them to repent for their wrong doings against me and let them take responsibility for their lies and manipulations. Heavenly Father, I humbly ask You to Rebuke and help them to stop being dishonest and stop making excuses for this dishonest behavior and exaggerate the truth or twist the facts. I decree and declare that no weapon fashioned against your people shall prosper; And every tongue that that shall rise up against me I condemn, according to Isaiah 54:17 Bless those who hates us, bless our relationships, our needs and comfort us in our miseries, bring healing to our body, mind and deliver us from all sickness and diseases. Protect all of us in your Mighty Hand and save our souls from every attack of an enemy. 4.Your Word says to “clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.” (Col. 3:14) Help me demonstrate unconditional love today, even to those who hurt me. Heaven Father, I pray for healing in their soul, peace in their heart, and mind and rest in their body. I also ask that you would be their comforter, that you would cover them with your infinite grace and mercy, surrounding them in peace during this time of trial or difficulties. If they have gone astray, let your grace and mercy bring them back. I pray for fresh anointing, for renewed strength, for your goodness and mercy over their lives now in Jesus Holy Name I ask and pray. 5.Heavenly Father, let the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might and the spirit of knowledge shall rest upon them .O Lord, have mercy upon them and blot out all of their iniquities Save them with Your grace, unconditional love and compassion so that they will be worthy of your blessings. Forgive them for the pain they have caused me because of their inappropriate behavior and bad attitudes. Holy Spirit of God, Fire of God, destroy all works of darkness in their life. The anointing of the Lord be upon them that shall not be stolen and let there be a full and fresh outpouring of the Holy spirit upon them Angels of God, arise and surround them with your wings of protection and power. May your love abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that they may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. I pray that No evil will befall on them and no disaster shall come near their dwelling place, I prophesy long life, riches, prosperity, favor and the blessings of God upon them and on their family and the Lord shall be the shepherd over them and be their light and their salvation in Jesus Powerful Name 6.I pray, Lord that you will open their eyes so they can see the glory of Jesus Christ and open their heart so that they can hear your voice, break the yokes in their lives and give them liberty in their souls, that they may be free to repent. Show them every evil works and deeds they are guilty of and Lord Jesus Christ, convict their hearts unto repentance. Bring their soul out of darkness, save their souls to that you may have Glory. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over the mindset that be confirmed to the mind of Christ and I speak health wellness upon them Wisdom, knowledge and understanding be their portion and I speak favor, prosperity and anointing of God over their lives and a minster of Gospel of Jesus Christ. 7.I pray that my family members glorify God in everything they do and fulfill Gods purpose in their life lord Let your name be glorified in our lives in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord has granted me long life and favor and has preserved my spirit from destruction. I declare that no matter what happens around me, I have a covenant of peace with God and His love, kindness and favor will never depart from me. In the name of Jesus, I dwell in the secret place of the Highest God and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. The Lord is my Refuge and Fortress. He delivers me from the enemy; therefore, I do not fear the terror in the night or the destruction that takes place at noonday. 8. When I call on the Lord, He immediately answers me. He is with me in trouble; He always delivers me. Because the Lord has given His angels charge over me, my life is redeemed from destruction. No evil comes near me, and neither does any plague come near my home. I declare that I fear no evil, because the Holy Spirit comforts me. He lives inside of me. Greater is He Who is in me than he who is in the world. The Lord helps me to guard the door of my mouth and trains me not to speak against His favor at work in my life. I will not allow any corrupt communication to proceed out of my mouth. Instead, I will speak only that which is good, full of grace and edifying to others. Because I am God's "favorite," I prosper in every area of my life-spiritually, physically, financially, socially and mentally. 8.I actively seek and live by God's wisdom; therefore, I am highly favored and esteemed in the sight of God and men. Because the favor of God shields me, no sickness or disease has a right to live in my body. Wealth and riches are in my house because I am empowered with His anointing and favor to draw wealth. I walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, pleasing Him in all respects. I bear fruit in every good work and I am increasing in the knowledge of God. My ways please the LORD and He makes even my enemies to be at peace with me.I am anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving I let my requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard my hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Amen.
