Is your father the devil?

Revelation 22 VERSE 13. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.  14.    Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Revelation 22  VERSE 15. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Inside the city or outside of the city…

Inside they keep the commandments of God and through God they have the right to the tree of life. Outside they DO NOT keep the commandments of God, and they have NO right to the tree of life. Outside they are dogs, sorcerers, whoremongers, murderers, idolaters, and those who LOVE and MAKE lies.

This is TRUTH!

All those who will NOT be in heaven, all those who will not love, will not have the right to the tree of life. 

You don't have to be a dog, a murderer, a sorcerer, a whoremonger, an idolaters- all you have to be is a liar and one who loves lies.

Who loves lying? Most would say they don't, but be honest. It's not easy NOT to lie. I'm talking about lying about ANYTHING. Even the tiny littlest lies.

You are asked how you are, and you are anything but fine, and you say you are fine- a lie.  You are  asked to do something you really don't want to do but you say you do want to- a lie.  These lies are labeled- WHITE LIES, these lies are labeled - CHARITABLE LIES.  These lies are spoken NOT to hurt someone's feelings, to spare someone from emotional pain. Are they good lies? Is there such a thing as a good lie? I want to say no, but then I read this--

1Sa 21:12  And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

1Sa 21:13  And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.

1Sa 21:14  Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me?

1Sa 21:15  Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?

Feigned- David pretended to be something other than he was. David lived a lie of himself as being someone he wasn't.

Gen 12:11  And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:

Gen 12:12  Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.

Gen 12:13  Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.

Abraham told Sarah to lie.  Did it work out well? No, especially not for the pharaoh. 

Lying is done, lying may have its place, I don't know, honestly I don't not in these circumstances.  Are circumstances considered? Is there charitable and white lying?  Satan is the FATHER of lies-

Joh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Do we DARE risk lying? Do we dare risk being of the devil, of having the devil as our father and not God?

We read this--

Joh_1:47  Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

1Pe_3:10  For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile

Rev_14:5  And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

Being without guile is being without lying,  without deceiving.

Please, Father, please help us be without any guile! Help us not be of the devil and liars like He is! Please, Lord, bless us and keep us in YOU and Your word!

Please, we would take part in the tree of life with YOU!

By the grace of God may we be YOURS! Please, make us YOURS we surrender to YOU and YOUR will, and help us to surrender whatever we hold back. Please

By YOUR grace, YOUR love, in the name of our SAVIOR, Jesus Christ our LORD now and forever!

AMEN.
