I will be healed, saved and totally cleansed, I will not walk in dangerous hypocrisy.

From: June 6-12, 2006 Study: # 447

TOPIC: “I will be healed, saved and totally cleansed, I will not walk in dangerous hypocrisy.” John 5:14 Jesus healed the crippled man that was lying beside the pool of Bethesda and once he was healed miraculously Jesus advised him to sin no more so that something worse wouldn’t come upon him. We must never turn back to sin when we have received healing and a new life. If we turn back to our past old life and live hiding then we will be counted as hypocrites, people with two faces, with a double life. Hypocrisy is very dangerous. It is the road that leads to apostasy. We must take care of ourselves. Even when we are firm we must always watch with spiritual eyes in order not to fall. 1 Corinthians 10:12 Once a believer puts Jesus aside then problems will begin. God is the one who blesses us; we must always stay by His side seeking to be in His presence. We must be extremely careful not to open the door to our flesh and to this world that only wants to take dominion of the souls that are not constant. Hypocrite is the person that pretends to have qualities and moral ideas that he does not possess only for the purpose of obtaining a benefit. It is very dangerous to live what is not true. For some unscrupulous people it is easy to play with what is divine using what is holy for their own benefit. Sometimes people go to church and act as if they were spoiled children and begin to “play church” without giving the respect and seriousness that the church of our Lord Jesus Christ has. However, some enjoy living pretending, but one day everything will come to light and they will receive the payment of their false way of living. Each one of us must be very careful. We must not let not even a bit of hypocrisy take over our souls. We like to have a good appearance in front of others, but above everything else we must walk towards all that is righteous and truthful. We must not try to accommodate what cannot be accommodated. We must open our eyes to be able to see where deceit comes. Sometimes we close our eyes to not see and this is not right. We must open our eyes to see what surrounds us. Only those who are brave open their eyes to see the evilness that wants to destroy them. Jesus defeated the enemy with the truth. We must do the same. We have the Bible, the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. The Word is the truth. Those who arrive to the Lord’s House must understand clearly that Satan is defeated in our lives by the power of Jesus Christ which is in us. But there are some that want to appear that they are converted, and that their lives have changed, that they are new creatures, but the truth is that Christ the Sun of Justice has not dawned on them. Besides, when a person converts and turns back his ultimate condition will be worse than it was before he came to Christ. Therefore, we must take care of our lives and be vigilant. Not all are righteous believers. 1 John 2:19; John 6:66 There are people that can be among us for years that are tremendous hypocrites and not real believers. They can live pretending for years. Some arrive to the House of God because they are looking for company because they feel lonely and are seeking their own personal benefit and in them there is no real repentance. What is really inside of a man is only known be himself and by God the Father, no one else. They can be pretending and that can only be seen if we are spiritual. We must not let anyone fool us or destroy us. Those who have a real desire to be saved will make an effort in following the Lord, complying with His commandments and denying their selves. Even when the storm comes nothing will move them. A hypocrite person has his dark side, he is not defined, and his heart is a house of demons. We cannot make deals with the flesh to seek God for a selfish personal benefit. In that so called search and liberation what we are seeking is our own benefit and we do not exalt our God. Those

unclean spirits leave for some time, but there is an open door for them to come back. The person who let this happen tries to show characteristics of a believer, they congregate, sing, tithe, but inside of them there is rage and hypocrisy. There is hidden anger because what they want isn’t given to them, because they did not get what they came to church for. They seek in many ways a selfish benefit and the demons recognize this. Sometimes our lives, as the house where we live are neat and swept, but are not completely clean. What is attached to our hearts that hasn’t been removed? The hidden sins that are in the most intimate, in the deepest part of our soul because there hasn’t been a real repentance. There are many pictures on the wall decorating the house, but when the flesh suddenly explodes the demons come to take advantage. When we do not seek to cleanse ourselves deep inside completely it is because we are not seeking anything permanent in God. We must not expose ourselves to let the demons have a feast with us. Our house must be completely cleansed. Where the first born of the devil is found, is not a place for us. We already came out of Egypt, a sinful world full of sin and evilness and we cannot turn back. The Word of God will sustain the love which we have believed in. When the demons enter it is because they know there is a place for them. If we are filled with the Holy Spirit demons cannot come in. Let us seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit. It is a great tragedy to turn back to sin. How much damage is done to all those who surround us! Our lives are not to fall, but to stand, seek holiness and seek Christ’s knowledge. It is not good to be in the tragedy of sin. John 5:14 If we do not cleanse our heart after being healed, if we turn back to sin, something worse can come upon us. We must love and Jesus will cleanse us completely, then no demon will have the right to come back to our homes. Be careful of what you do in hidden places. We must believe in the One that brought the healing. Jesus gave two orders to the crippled man: to take up his bed and to sin no more. He who has the authority, that even the sea obeys Him has the power to lift us. Be careful in what ways we have become cold because we stop working. The One who we have met left a written Word that warns us and corrects us. The cripple man was healed, but he didn’t know he was a sinner. Jesus found him again and spoke to him about spiritual deliverance. Jesus told him to sin no more. It was unknown to this man who had performed the miracle in him. It is very ungrateful that after we are cleansed, we turn back. We must be careful not to flirt with hypocrisy, with eternal condemnation. We must be grateful to God the one who has healed our body and not forget that the most important thing is the salvation of our soul which we have received by grace. Those who have been cleansed do not turn back. If we do not let Jesus cleanse us completely, this is to know that eight demons will come back to destroy us. For this reason we need to be healed, and totally cleansed and then we shall seek and love each day with sincerity and not with hypocrisy which kills and destroys. Amen.
