2 Thessalonians 1:3 One more thing, friends: Pray for us. Pray that the Master's Word will simply take off and race through the country to a groundswell of response, just as it did among you. And pray that we'll be rescued from these scoundrels who are trying to do us in. I'm finding that not all "believers" are believers. But the Master never lets us down. He'll stick by you and protect you from evil.
'I'm finding not all believer's are believers.'
Ha ha! That is the truth right there. Paul found that not everyone who says they are a believer truly was. In fact some were 'unreasonable,' 'malicious', 'wicked' 'scoundrels.'
The same is true today. Not everyone who believes they can fly really is an eagle and can be trusted.
Many people claiming to be Christian are really not. Worse than that, some even are in your church, in your life to bring you down, to 'do you in'. Their intent, their assignment is your downfall.
Be aware of hypocrites, be aware of fake Christians.
I have seen many fake Christians over my time as a pastor. Giving it the spiritual large one on Sunday, but clubbing, drugging, and thugging on a monday and through the week.
You know we are in the end times, the last days. We don't have time to play church. You don't have time for fake believers.
Not everyone that says, "Lord Lord" is saved. Not everyone who sings Bethel music on earth will be singing it in heaven.
Be careful who you hang around; be careful who you date. No matter what they say or sing are they the real dea?
'Then I saw her face and I'm a beleiver.'
Just because someone says they are a believer doesn't mean they are. If they want to take you to bed before you're wed then they frankly aren't.
I'm praying for the singles in my church family they get married to a true believer, not someone who just saw their face and pretended to be.
Prayer:
Father I pray You would rescue Your people from fake believers. You would deliver us from those who are just pretending. I pray Your people would have such discernment. I pray for Godly marriages for all those single and love You in Jesus name amen.
