Until further notice the messages that accompany this notice will be part of the “Come out of her my people” series. They will be harsh. They will cause people to get upset. This is as it should be. They must question the way they think and live. So they can seek to follow Christ and not the world.

Discussion

This is a message many will not want to hear or even accept. It will hit too close to home. It will make them uncomfortable. Don’t shoot the messenger. But instead listen to God through His Word: the Bible.

First, we must understand the core of the mentality of being a hypocrite. Therefore, we will define the word.

Hypocrite – Someone who says they have particular moral beliefs but behaves in a way that shows these are not sincere. A person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings.

Now this is the label that was given by Jesus Christ Himself to the Pharisees and Scribes. However, the Glorified Christ gave them another name as well.

Revelation 3:15-16 NKJV – “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

Hypocrites are lukewarm. This is how most that call themselves “Christian” will act and behave just before Jesus Christ returns.

Now this may be a short lesson if this was all there was to see. In fact, most think and see this about what they find in the Bible. It is this short definition that has caused the creation of the lukewarm. Why most that now profess to being “Christian” are the lukewarm.

For they think and care for only one being. They seek the comfort and glorify only one being. Themselves.

Now let us look to the sermon on the mount for more about what defines what a hypocrite is.

Matthew 6:1-4 NKJV – “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.

I know of many who make a show of helping those in need. They post it on YouTube. They brag about it on social media. They have their reward. This is hypocrisy even if they profess to follow God or not.

Matthew 6:5-7 NKJV – “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

I know of many people that make a show of praying in public. I know of others who insist upon praying aloud in all things. This is the acts of hypocrites.

Matthew 6:16-18 NKJV – “Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

Once again this is something that I know of many that make a show of this behavior or making it known to all that they are denying themselves nourishment. Once again. This is hypocrisy.

  Matthew 6:19-24 NKJV – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

It is these verses that now create most of the lukewarm. Most of the hypocrites. It is these verses that cause the greatest issue to most at this time. However, to those that question this. We have verification from the Glorified Christ.

Revelation 3:17 NKJV – Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—

This verse confirms those from Matthew. If you doubt that. Let us define the word “mammon.”

Mammon – G3126 – mamónas –  riches, money, possessions, property.

The very thing that Jesus said not to gather unto yourselves, which most now do and have been taught to seek after for generations is hypocrisy. As the centuries have gone by more and more seek after mammon. More and more seek after hypocrisy. Most don’t even know that they do this. Which explains these words:

“The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!”

Most believe they live in the light of the Lord. However, since they seek after the world, they live in darkness.

“If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness.”

This is why most cannot see that they are hypocrites. That they are the lukewarm and have been vomited out of the Body of Christ by their own actions and desires. Many hearing this don’t want to even contemplate what is being stated here. For to do so would mean they have been living a lie. Listening to lies. That their family members before them have done the same and are not in heaven waiting for them to join them or even made it into heaven. When in reality they are with Death or Hades waiting to be called out when the Great White Throne Judgement occurs.

What is needed now is to acknowledge that yes you have listened to lies. However, you can change and learn the Truth. Start by accepting. Then continue by changing.

One of the greatest teachings within the NT was given three times in three different gospels.

Mark 10:17-21 NKJV – Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. You know the commandments: ‘DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,’ ‘DO NOT MURDER,’ ‘DO NOT STEAL,’ ‘DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER.'” And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.” Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”

The young rich man followed the commandments. The young rich man thought himself blessed. Christ even looked upon the young man with love. However, he lacks the most important elements to True Faith. To truly attaining eternal life.

“One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”

All that have earthly wealth otherwise known as mammon are commanded to sell it all off. Yes all. We are to live off the least for ourselves, because our true riches are not here on earth, but in heaven and the future life that is to come. We are to give those that are True ministers of God ten percent. (Hebrews 7) Then we are to give the rest to those in need. And then use what is left to spread the Word of God.

James 1:27 NKJV – Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

Those that keep their earthly wealth unto themselves. Seeking after earthly comforts into their old age are the ultimate examples of the lukewarm. The hypocrites. Those that are destine not unto salvation and eternal servitude unto God in the new heavens and new earth. Spending billions upon billions of year exploring the new universe. Doing as God commands. But are destine to live for all eternity in the lake of fire, which is located in one spot. Where there is fire and worms that live as long as they. Forever.

Revelation 21:8 NKJV – But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

Revelation 20:15 NKJV – And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Isaiah 66:24 NKJV – “And they shall go forth and look Upon the corpses of the men Who have transgressed against Me. For their worm does not die, And their fire is not quenched. They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.

Abandon what you thought was the truth. Accept the real Truth given to us by God through His Son our Savior Jesus Christ.

Cast off the desires, lusts and luxuries of this world. Sell off that which was never offered by God ever. (1 John 2:15-16) Use your earthly wealth to help those in need. Then spread the True Gospel.

Understand that Paul when he was Saul was extremely wealthy. When he was killed for spreading the Truth he died a pulper. He had used his earthly wealth to learn the Truth and then to spread this Truth to the gentiles, as was his calling.

Your called this moment is to sell off all your earthly mammon and use the excess to help those in need. Then as said a moment ago spread the True Word of God. For time is quickly running out.

God Bless
