Pants on Fire...

There are millions of lies being told daily. The number goes up during  the election season. Lately, I have been very vexed by how casually people lie. Lying with no conviction whatsoever about things that are not even worth lying about. I'm not pointing fingers and hiding behind this computer screen either. I was once a liar not a notorious liar but I have told my share. Once I started to build a relationship with Jesus Christ and coming into the full knowledge of who He is, the Holy Spirit started to convict me even if I begin to "think up" a lie.  The Bible is very frank about how God deals with liars.

Psalms 101:7

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

So a person that tells lies will not even be allowed in the sight of God. There are those that may not lying directly but hiding behind lies.  These people willingly listen and encourage lies. The Bible speaks on these kind of people also. 

Revelation 22:15

For without (those who will not be in the "city" of heaven- read verse 14) are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 

You can't be one that "love lies" either. You may not be the one who told the lie but the lie was beneficial to you so you allowed it to carry on. Honestly in most situations the "naked" truth hurts but it immediately sets your spirit free and eventually heals the wound. A lie makes a wound and over time it tears it open and the infections spreads. That infection has broken up families, ended relationships, brought down careers, and ultimately separated people from God and their Saviour Jesus Christ. I encourage you all to turn to Jesus with true repentance about the lies that you have told or took part in and ask Him to continually deal with your heart about lying. 

Turn to Jesus....
