Love Removes the Masks of Hypocrisy and the Gloves of Deceit

Lines have been drawn in the body of Christ that should never have been drawn. I have never used dissimulation, for all are one in me. There is neither black nor white, brown nor yellow in me. Though men told you they loved you, their envy was stronger than their love for me. Envy has used the color of your skin as a weapon against the ministry that I gave you. I am the God who hides myself. I am hidden in you from some men. I will purge out this envy; however, there will be resistance against you. Do not resent them for their ignorance and blindness. Paul met this same spirit, and Peter withdrew from him, fearing those who were caught by the spirit of dissimulation. Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. Do not be afraid to speak the truth to their face, for only by the truth will they be made free from the snare that they are caught in. The devil means it for bad, but I mean it for good. Your true friends are being revealed through all of this, and those who have pretended to be your friends have been exposed as frauds. Your true friends found grace in my sight. All men are flesh. When flesh does not find grace in my sight, flesh goes the way of all flesh. You have love because grace brought love to your bosom, and grace instituted love as the ruler in your heart, mind, soul, and actions. Pray for those who did not find this grace. When men who say they are your friends only wear the mask of friends and shake hands with the gloves of love, they are exposed by the fire of love; therefore, allow love to always rule in your heart. Love removes the masks of hypocrisy and the gloves of deceit.

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light, and there was light."

Words of Light upon the Face of Blindness, Deceit, Dissimulation, Envy, Hypocrisy, Ignorance, and Resentment

By Tristan Rodriguez

Lines have been drawn in the body of Christ that should never have been drawn. God has never used dissimulation, for all are one in him. There is neither black nor white, brown nor yellow in him. Though men told me they loved me, their envy was stronger than their love for the Lord. Envy has used the color of my skin as a weapon against the ministry that God gave me. Jesus is the God who hides himself. He is hidden in me from some men. He will purge out this envy; however, there will be resistance against me. I will not resent them for their ignorance and blindness. Paul met this same spirit, and Peter withdrew from him, fearing those who were caught by the spirit of dissimulation. Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. I will not be afraid to speak the truth to their face, for only by the truth will they be made free from the snare that they are caught in. The devil means it for bad, but God means it for good. My true friends are being revealed through all of this, and those who have pretended to be my friends have been exposed as frauds. My true friends found grace in the Lord’s sight. All men are flesh. When flesh does not find grace in God’s sight, flesh goes the way of all flesh. I have love because grace brought love to my bosom, and grace instituted love as the ruler in my heart, mind, soul, and actions. I will pray for those who did not find this grace. When men who say they are my friends only wear the mask of friends and shake hands with the gloves of love, they are exposed by the fire of love; therefore, I allow love to always rule in my heart. Love removes the masks of hypocrisy and the gloves of deceit.

RE: RHEMA - Love Removes the Masks of Hypocrisy and the Gloves of Deceit

The next great witness is under the bridge as a homeless person. Our next great mother in Israel is a prostitute walking the street. Gang members are the next examples of graphic grace. God has never considered ethnic or behavioral background as a qualification for his love. God will bypass the religious and get hold of a renegade outlaw in a prison. God's love is pure and sincere. It is not filled with a list of disqualifications because it is unconditional. Plastic and synthetic love will not last until the pressure gets hot. His love is everlasting! Some look and see people who appear to be pawns of the devil, but God sees prayer warriors. Some look at others and see the worst kind of waste of life, but God sees a worshipper waking up to the wonders of the Lord. Our judgment and preconceived ideas about anyone and anything are useless on the scene when God takes the things which are naught and brings to nothing the things that are. We should never look at any container and appraise it before we see what the creator will finally put in the container. Let us not use the observation of others but see through the eyes of faith that God has given us. We must look at and love every human being that we meet.

By Moses Hightower

I am sending a baptism of love. Love shall remove the muzzles of silence from their mouths and give them open mouths of great confessions. In the face of false accusers, grace shall speak in my people, and they shall overcome by my faith. Go and declare the power of what I suffered for them when I was tried. When this light explodes in their hearts, their constant denials of faith in me shall end. Go and bear witness of my successful defense for them. Go and bear witness of this great light of freedom. They must learn to focus on my trial when they are tried and not allow the enemy to draw them before the judgment seat of the accuser. If you confess your sins, I am faithful and just to forgive you and to cleanse you of all unrighteousness. If I have forgiven you, then who will lay any charge to you?

Go and bear witness of the freedom won for them from hindering interrogators.

RE: RHEMA - The Framework of Love, a Yoke That Navigates Us unto the Green Pastures of Peace

Love is the architect and designer of the universe. Its schematic takes every thing into account before it draws one line. The Psalmist said, “The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places, which seem to be property lines but could just as well be the design of the perfect yoke.“ He will always carry our load and more. The constraints of the Lord are not grievous but full of blessings. Some constraints are like the high fences around power stations; they help us to keep our distance from danger. He is never unkind in what he fashions for us, but it will always lead into the places of restoration and strength for us. Even though the battle rages around us, those who have striven and done the work of the Lord will come into him and find pasture and a barn full of resources to strengthen us for the continued effort in the kingdom. His mercy will be before us and behind us to keep our steps in all his ways

When I gave you the Holy Ghost, I gave you love.

189. Where is it?

The love that I commended toward you caused me to die for you.

190. Who will you die for?

I thank you, Lord, for opening my understanding. I am elated to know that you never consider ethnic or behavioral backgrounds as a qualification for your love. You will use whom you will use as the next great witness as a graphic example of your grace. It brings me joy to know that you bypass the religious and get hold of even the renegade to show forth your mercy. Your love is pure and sincere and it is not filled with a list of disqualifications because it is unconditional. Your love is everlasting. I desire to look beyond what I see with my natural eyes and see with the spiritual eyesight. Some look at others and see the worst kind of waste of life, but you, O Lord, see a worshipper waking up to your wonders. I purpose never to look at any container and appraise it before I see what you will finally put in the container. I determine not to use the observation of others but to see through the eyes of faith that you have given me. As I look at others and purpose to love every human being that I meet, I will praise your name!

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - August 1, 2007

God looked at a pile of dust and saw a man just like himself. He looked at the spaces of vast nothingness and stretched out the universe like a velvet curtain. The less a container has in it the more that God can fill it with himself. That is why the scripture talks of Jesus emptying himself out. We must empty ourselves out on the altar of commitment to him. This is why so many times in very poor countries people will be so hungry for God. It is my experience that the great hunger and revival of the prison is because men and women have been thrown away like empty cans on the trash pile. Yet, the One who walked the galaxies goes through the garbage of wasted lives every day and every night, and when he is finished, he has created jewels for his kingdom.
