MODERN DAY PHARISEES

WOE TO YOU "MODERN DAY PHARISEES!!!....."

So busy "JUDGING" what YOU see "wrong" in the lives of OTHERS, but are {BLINDED BY YOUR OWN SIN!} So focused on APPEARING "RIGHETOUS" before others, but forgetting {GOD KNOWS YOUR HEART!} Oh, and He sees clearly ALL you do in "SECRET!" You PRETEND to truly CARE about the "FLOCK" but all you REALLY care about is looking {KNOWLEDGEABLE & AUTHORITATIVE!} You openly BOAST & BRAG under the pretense of "HELPING OTHERS GET IT RIGHT," but you aren't fooling GOD! Everything you do for the Kingdom, is about making YOU look "GOOD!" You want OTHERS to believe that you spend MUCH time with the Lord in His WORD, PRAYER and PRAISE; and you do MUCH WORK in your ministries, but MOST of it, is a FRONT- you just want to be {SEEN} AS HOLY & SUPERIOR by men!

WOE TO YOU, HYPOCRITES!!!

{GOD SAYS}: "I AM NOT AT ALL IMPRESSED BY YOUR ELOQUENT SPEECH, LENGTHY PRAYERS, MANY POSTS, "SUCCESSFUL" JOBS OR MINISTRIES, HOW MUCH MONEY YOU TITHE EACH SUNDAY TO YOUR "LOCAL CONGREGATIONS/CHURCHES," HOW YOU LOOK OR DRESS IN ALL THAT "RELIGIOUS GARB," HOW MANY MEMBERS ARE SITTING IN YOUR CONGREGATIONS, HOW MANY TIMES A WEEK YOU GO TO "CHURCH," HOW MUCH TIME YOU SPENT READING THE BIBLE THIS MORNING, HOW MANY BIBLE "TOOLS" YOU STUDY & RESEARCH WITH, HOW "KNOWLEDGEABLE & WISE YOU "THINK" YOU MAY BE, ETC.."

NONE OF IT MATTERS WHEN IT'S DONE FOR SHOW, AND/OR TO CONDEMN OTHERS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE YOU FEEL MORE SUPERIOR, AND MORE SECURE ABOUT YOURSELF! NONE OF IT MATTERS, WHEN DONE WITH THE WRONG MOTIVES, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, IN THE ABSENCE OF LOVE!!!!!! {1 CORINTHIANS 4:5, 13:1-3}

YOU ARE RELIGIOUS MINDED, LED BY THAT RELIGIOUS SPIRIT, INSTEAD OF SEEKING & FOLLOWING THE HOLY SPIRIT! YOU ARE BLIND LEADERS OF THE BLIND!!!! YOU ARE LEADING PEOPLE STRAIGHT TO HELL, RIGHT ALONG WITH YOURSELVES! {MATTHEW 15:14}

I SEE YOU.. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.. I KNOW WHAT YOU DO, AND I KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T DO, THAT YOU PRETEND TO DO, AS WELL! YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! {HEBREWS 4:13, PROVERBS 5:21, 2 CORINTHIANS 5:10, JAMES 3:1}

FOCUS ON THE WEIGHTIER MATTERS, SUCH AS JUSTICE, MERCY, FAITH, LOVE, PEACE, JOY, COMPASSION, GIVING FROM A {SINCERE} HEART TO THE HOMELESS, CARE FOR THE WIDOWS, START {SINCERELY} SEEKING ME & MY KINGDOM FOR YOURSELF {FIRST}, & THEN, I WILL BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY USE YOU TO TRULY MINISTER (CARE FOR, TEACH, EQUIP) OTHERS! {MATTHEW 23:23}

AND DO THESE THINGS WITHOUT HAVING TO BROADCAST IT BEFORE OTHERS! ALL THAT MATTERS IS WHAT I SEE, AND WHAT I THINK! STOP FOCUSING ON WHAT OTHERS THINK ABOUT YOU, & TRYING TOO HARD TO IMPRESS THEM. ONLY I HAVE THE POWER & AUTHORITY TO SAVE YOUR SOUL, OR CONDEMN IT TO HELL. GET YOUR PRIORITIES TOGETHER, NOW!!!!!! TIME IS MUCH SHORTER THAN MANY OF YOU REALIZE........ {MATTHEW 10:28, LUKE 11:37-52, JAMES 1:27}

{REPENT NOW, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!}

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: 

{MATTHEW 6:1-7- AMP}- “BE [VERY] CAREFUL NOT TO DO YOUR GOOD DEEDS PUBLICLY, TO BE SEEN BY MEN; OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE NO REWARD [prepared and awaiting you] WITH YOUR FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN.

2 “So WHENEVER YOU GIVE TO THE POOR AND DO ACTS OF KINDNESS, DO NOT BLOW A TRUMPET BEFORE YOU [to ADVERTISE it], AS THE HYPOCRITES DO [like actors acting out a role] in the synagogues and in the streets, SO THAT THEY MAY BE HONORED AND RECOGNIZED AND PRAISED BY MEN. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, THEY [ALREADY] HAVE THEIR REWARD IN FULL.

3 But when you give to the poor and do acts of kindness, DO NOT LET YOUR LEFT HAND KNOW WHAT YOUR RIGHT HAND IS DOING [give in COMPLETE SECRECY],

4 so that your charitable acts will be done in secret; and your FATHER WHO SEES [what is done] IN SECRET WILL REWARD YOU.

5 “Also, WHEN YOU PRAY, DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES; for they love to pray [PUBLICLY] standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets SO THAT THEY MAY BE SEEN BY MEN. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, they [ALREADY] have their reward in full.

6 But WHEN YOU PRAY, GO INTO YOUR MOST PRIVATE ROOM, close the door and pray to your Father who is IN SECRET, and your FATHER WHO SEES [what is done] IN SECRET WILL REWARD YOU.

7 “And WHEN YOU PRAY, DO NOT USE MEANINGLESS REPETITION as the Gentiles do, for they THINK they will be heard because of their many words. 8 So DO NOT BE LIKE THEM [praying as they do]; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. (emphasis added, mines)
