WHERE ARE THE HYPOCRITES ?

hypocrite [ˈhɪpəkrɪt] n: a person who pretends to be what he is not

THIS IS THE DEFINITION FROM THE DICTIONARY, DESCRIBING, AND EXPLAINING WHAT THE BULK OF SUPPOSED CHILDREN OF GOD ARE, HYPOCRITES !

OF COURSE MOST WILL IMMEDIATELY ASSUME THAT I AM BEING OVERLY HARSH, EXAGGERATING, BEING PESSIMISTIC, OR JUST PLAIN WRONG.

LETS TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AND SEE IF I CAN PERHAPS SHINE SOME LIGHT ON WHY IT IS THAT I WOULD MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT.

MOST PEOPLE RESERVE THE LABELING OF HYPOCRITE FOR THOSE THAT ARE SAID TO BE PROFESSING CHRISTIANITY, OR SOME OTHER BELIEF, AND LIVING CONTRARY TO THEIR OWN DECLARATION.

TODAY BY THE UNCTION OF GOD I WILL BROADEN THE DEFINITION OF HYPOCRITE FOR THE CHURCH, BUT WILL BE WELL WITHIN THE DEFINITION OF THE DICTIONARY

WE MUST REALIZE THAT WHENEVER WE FILL A POSITION IN THE BODY OF CHRIST THAT WE WERE NOT CALLED TOO BY GOD HIMSELF, THEN WE ARE PRETENDING TO BE THE RIGHTFUL INHABITANT OF THAT POSITION.

THE SAD THING IS THAT SO MANY ARE AFFECTED BY SUCH TRAVESTIES AND MAY BE SUBJECTED TO EXPERIENCES EASILY AVOIDABLE IF LED BY GOD.

EVEN MORE SAD IS THE FACT THAT THE OFFICE MOST COVETED AND THEREFORE FILLED WITH MORE HYPOCRITES IS THAT OF MINISTER.

THE TITLE MINISTER CAN COVER MANY OFFICES THROUGHOUT THE CHURCH.

APOSTLES, PROPHETS, EVANGELIST, ELDERS, AND PERHAPS THE MOST DEADLY, AND SINISTER OF ALL IS THE SELF PROCLAIMED, OR MAN CALLED, AND APPOINTED PASTOR'S.

IF WE WERE ACCOUNTANTS, WEARING POLICE UNIFORMS AND STOPPING CARS, WE WOULD BE ARRESTED BY REAL POLICE FOR IMPERSONATING, OR HYPOCRITING AS POLICE.

I AM AWARE THAT SOCIETY NO LONGER UTILIZES THIS WORD IN THAT FASHION, BUT THAT DOESN'T RENDER IT'S EXISTENCE AND DEFINITION NULL AND VOID.

WHEN WE PRETEND TO BE WHAT WE ARE NOT, WE ARE HYPOCRITES.

JUST AS WE CAN NOT IMPERSONATE THE SWORN IN, POWER WIELDING, OFFICIALLY AUTHORIZED AND ORDAINED OFFICER, WITHOUT SEVERE REPERCUSSIONS, WE CAN'T DO SO IN THE CHURCH WITH CALLED, ORDAINED POSITIONS WITHOUT EVEN MORE SEVERE REPERCUSSIONS.

IN CLOSING I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER A PROPHETIC WARNING TO THOSE FILLING MINISTERIAL POSITIONS YOU KNOW YOU WERE NOT CALLED, OR ORDAINED OF GOD TO FILL, ESPECIALLY PASTORS.





2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT: EVERYONE HOLDING ECCLESIASTICAL, OR MINISTERIAL POSITIONS IN GOD'S CHURCH PLEASE PRAY FOR GOD'S UNBIASED EXAMINATION OF OURSELVES TO SEE IF WE ARE TRULY HOLDING POSITIONS GOD ORDAINED US FOR, AND INTENDED US TO FILL.

IF AFTER EXAMINATION WE DISCOVER WE MISSED HIS VOICE, WE ASSUMED POSITIONS ON OUR OWN, OR EVEN HAD THEM BESTOWED UPON US BY FAMILY, OR POPULAR OPINION, WE NEED TO ACT IMMEDIATELY.

THE PROPER REACTION WOULD BE TO REPENT, CONFESS, AND RESIGN.

IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT OUR REACTION BE IMMEDIATE TO PREVENT BEING FOUND HYPOCRITES WHEN THE LORD RETURNS, OR BEFORE WE LEAD MORE ASTRAY BY IMPERSONATING WHAT WE ARE NOT TRULY CALLED TO BE.

WE MUST REALIZE THAT PRIDE WILL CAUSE US TO KEEP POSITIONS WE KNOW WE ARE ILL QUALIFIED FOR TO PREVENT EMBARRASSMENT, BUT THE SAME PRIDE WILL KILL US AS HYPOCRITES SENDING US TO HELL.

SOME TRULY CALLED PASTORS MAY NEVER SHEPARD LARGE CHURCHES , BUT THAT'S NOT A INDICATOR OF THEIR ANOINTING, OR CALL.

JUST BECAUSE WE CAN DO A DECENT JOB IN SOME OF THESE OFFICES DOESN'T INDICATE GOD'S SEAL OF APPROVAL, OR PROOF OF RELATIONSHIP.

I PRAY THAT OUR EYES HAVE BEEN OPENED TO LOOKING FOR HYPOCRITES IN SOME NON-TRADITIONAL PLACES, AS WELL AS ALERTING US TO HOW MANY ARE IN THE FOREFRONT, AND NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE SMOKING, DRINKING, CUSSING, FORNICATING, COMMITTING ADULTERY. LYING, STEALING, OR FIGHTING.

IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE PRETENDING.

PRETENDING TO BE OUR MINISTERS, EVANGELIST, APOSTLES, PROPHETS, AND YES OUR PASTORS.

SO NOW THAT WE REALIZE HYPOCRITES ARE MORE THEN WE THOUGHT WE MUST NOW ASK THE QUESTION.

WHERE ARE THE HYPOCRITES
