The True Key and the Shield of the Hypocrite The key here is the confidence and recognition of those God calls. Why? Because there were many false prophets at the same time that were contending with the true prophets. Lamentations 2:14 “Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.” The false prophets confirm the aspirations while the true prophets confirm the covenant. The credentials, which those of the house of Baal indorse are not in confirmation of the testimony of God, which compare spiritual things with spiritual things. They speak of the boast of man and self-will whose confidence permits the wisdom of man. This leads the mind into a false hope of salvation. Integrating Hypocrisy—Though Hand Join to Hand The unconverted believers using another's history and achievements (association) is to add a pseudo-virtue to their own boast. This shield is used to frustrate the convictions of grace and to rival truth. They feel the power in their principle to oppose the Spirit of God; but they assume that the feeling of this adrenaline rush to be from the divine perspective. John 16:2"They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service." Psalms 35:24-26 “ Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me. 25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up. 26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against.” That power they feel is a demon that is bending the will into that previous frame of learning. The victim this spirit uses is now a tool to voice himself through using that accustomed perspective and speaking evil of the things they understand not and openly opposing the Spirit of God. They will make merchandise of you! This means that the demon will use his servant to snatch another away from the truth, and then use this person as a token to validate the convictions of their own position. Sinners find a boast where the aspiration is found and rejoice in iniquity. Ephesians 6:10-12 “ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. This is a repeat of history. This replay is what Satan performed against God in the beginning and his children perform the same thing. John 8:44“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” 1 John 3:8 “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” The Shield Sinners use the shield of the flesh (frailty) to promote the psychology of this world as a form of piety for the boast of man, but the righteous bear the shield of the Spirit being faith for the divine nature to the glory of God. By this evil power, a false discernment is utilise against the face of God, and put on the scale of ones boast. By this scale of the flesh they reproach God Who is speaking in the mouth of His servants. But their faith is not in Christ but in the system that confirms their religious convictions. The unconverted believers share in the bonds of this spirit of religious aspiration and call that the fellowship of God. 1 Corinthians 10:20 “But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.” Luke 6:26 “Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.” See what Isaiah says about the law and the testimony. Every true prophet follows the pattern of the Steward (Here it is Moses) while the ministers of unrighteousness pursue the promise by the precept. Exodus 16:34 “As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.” Isaiah 8:20 “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Satan’s ministers build a gospel on precept that will match the condition of their own conscience and confirm their own record as the will of God. These do not submit to His government but despise Spiritual oversight and riot against truth. This was a sign that the apostles said would be manifested in the last days. 2 Timothy 3:2 "For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy," Many good church goers today are like the woman at the well. They desire the traditions of man (family values) to faith in His covenant. For she said “Our fathers” meaning that she possessed a true practice to her faith. But Jesus said, “Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.” She stood in confidence of the wrong tradition not confirming the law and the prophets. Her testimony was the “fathers” which today would be the (church founding fathers not the apostles). “Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.” The church must build the House of God with the stewardship and not the voices of passed traditions. The voice of God comes through the calling and not from the letter or the grave. The ambassador is the living steward and master craftsman that assists the church. Ephesians 2:20 “And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;” Acts 15:32 “And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.” The prophets confirmed the stewards being the apostles. This shows the order of the revelations to the church. For those that speak not according to this word are proud and further the iniquity of sin in the Church. This becomes Satan’s throne in the House of God. Known as 'Satan's Seat.' Revelation 2:24 “But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.” God is addressing this today for the church to be holy and spotless. The strong delusion is that which is in symphony with the nature of man and not in collusion with the spiritual things of God. 1 Corinthians 2:14 “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." Satan is the liar, for he is the first hypocrite, being true to himself and not have faith in God. Believers today that are true to themselves are the ones following the spell of Satan's shadow. Those that deny His stewardship in government affront the One that calls them. Satan does not stand in doubts of his own derision but only in the truth and so his ministers thinking truth is their own record only stand in doubt when the sanctified truth is present. 1 Corinthians 2:3 "And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling." The peace of ignorance is aroused by the Spirit of His grace to remove the veil upon the heart. When the knowledge of the Lord is present the darkness flees for the will to awaken to righteousness. Spiritual Language Barriers of Today Another point of conflict is the proper pronunciation of the name of God and the use of the concordance to discover the true meaning of a word. But the Spirit of the Lord uses neither for the anointing to perfect faith and charity. The House of God is built by the Spirit in and through each saint by the foundation of truth laid in the heart. By the Holy Ghost, God gives us a new language to communicate this wonderful inner work called ‘groanings which cannot be uttered.’ It is God that justifies His strange work; but those that try to find Him through the text transgress the commandment of God by trying to fulfil it to study to show themsleves approved unto God. Romans 8:26 “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” The utterance of the Greek and Hebrew lexicon is not the sanctified language of the Spirit and the study of these things still leaves the soul void of true regeneration. The popularity of this tool is for the purpose to ‘discover’ truth. But truth only comes through the servant and not the book. For the book will be used to solace the logic which needs no grace. Under that shadow the reader sees no need for apostles for they have elected their own logic to be qualified to discover truth. Satan bewitched the mind. 1 Timothy 6:4 “He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,” The lexicon-believers will only sow questions to challenge their own logic. They use this process to wrest the knowledge into their own favourable perspective. Then comes the chiding toward those that stand indifferent to their boast and the fruits of unrighteousness are seen and heard with railings of ones ignorance. The fishermen of Galilee had to endure the smiting looks and murmuring insults of the highly educated scribes. All the righteous will experience this conflict from the religious-traditionalists who built a calling for themselves by their home-grown Christianity. As Jesus said ‘greater works’ will follow you.
