“If you do not believe Moses’ writings, how will you believe My words?” If the Lord says that to you, you are missing something critical about Moses’ words. The disconnect comes easily when you spend enough time doing your own thing, while convincing yourself you’re doing the Lord’s thing. Even worse is if you teach others to do the same. Do that and you just might fall so far down the rabbit hole that you can’t climb out. Before you are convicted of always saying, but never doing, or doing, but doing the things of men and calling them the things of God, stop before it’s too late.
Bending God’s words to say what you want them to say, so you can do what you want to do, while claiming moral superiority over those who don’t follow your ways is utter hypocrisy. Another form of this sanctimonious attitude is to say one thing and practice another, while judging others for practicing one thing and saying another. Do this often enough and you will become defenseless against such habits. For practitioners of chronic hypocrisy, God promises that everything covered will be revealed; and everything hidden will be known. You will not escape the judgment of God!
The entire outcome hinges on your attitude. If you have a “beatitude,” it will afford the blessings bestowed upon those whose hearts are fixed on the kingdom of heaven—those who know what the kingdom of heaven is like and endeavor to live as such. If you have a “hypocratitude,” it will afford the woes bestowed upon those who live in hypocrisy and sanctimony—those who say and do not do, while judging others who do the same.
You choose: blessings—bliss, ecstasy, exaltation, supreme happiness, and heavenly joy. Or, woes—sorrow, distress, wretchedness, sadness, heartache, despondency, desolation, despair, tribulation, misfortune, disaster, and tragedy. Know this: when the Lord speaks to you, if it sounds anything like this: “Woe to you…,” instead of “Blessed are you…,” rethink your approach immediately. Realign your attitude towards the words of Y’shua of whom Moses wrote. How, you might ask? First believe Moses, if you ever hope to believe Christ. Yes, Moses’ words were written about Christ; and Christ’s words were written about you!
