Often we are put into situations that can compromise our walk with God. Many times instead of being absolutely honest when we are asked a question we say what many call a "half truth." Let me make this clear, if it is a half truth then it is also a half lie. There is never, and again I say never, any time that a Christian should lie. Even facing death, we must not lie. In Revelation 21: 7-8 it says, "He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murders, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolators, and ALL LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

If we have a lifestile that continues to have lying in it, and play the blamegame for your "lies" you can be sure that this is speaking of you. If you tell a lie and repent it is one thing, but when your character consitently shows that you are a liar, then your future is ordained in the lake of fire.

I would suggest that you examine your heart. If this speaks to you then repent before it is too late for you. If this is not you, then have the fortitude to share this truth with others that are under this stronghold and warn them. There is no room for lying in a Christian's life my friend. It must never be said of you that you are untruthful, or even "half" untruthful. God takes this seriously. Those that are bound up in lying are subject to the father of lies, which is Satan.

Jesus speaks of this in John 8:44 where he said, "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 in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."

Don't be controlled by Satan. Repent and be restored to the household of God.

Is this a hard word? Yes, but an absolutely necessary one to make sure someone hears the truth.

God bless you,
