[2 Corinthians 2:11] Lest satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
The following are some of the other titles that I considered for this article.
- Do Not Be a Pawn of satan.
- Stop Being a Tool of satan.
- Know a Major Tactic of satan.
Have you ever wondered why FatherGod (i.e., FatherLove 1John4:8; 1John3:2) included lying or bearing false witness as one of the “thou shall not” in the Ten Commandments?
[Exodus 20:16] [Deuteronomy 5:15] Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.I think that FatherLove dislikes it so much because lying or bearing false witness against someone is one of the most effective tools satan (the Father of Lies) uses to destroy mankind.
[John 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.Our loving heavenly father desires all of mankind to live in love, harmony and peace with each other.
[John 3:16-17] 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.However, the sad truth is that mankind oftentimes unknowingly or sometimes willingly cooperates with our enemy satan in his effort to destroy mankind.
[John 10:10] The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: …
[Acts 5:3] But Peter said, Ananias, why hath satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost,.?
[John 12:40] He (satan) hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
[1 John 2:11] But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.The following scriptures illustrate our loving heavenly father’s strong hate for lying and bearing false witness against others;
[Proverbs 6:16-19] 16These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.Satan used the tactic of lying and false report against our Lord Christ/Messiah and King David a man after FatherLove’s own heart.
Christ/Messiah
[Matthew 26:59] Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
[Mark 14:57] And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying..
[Luke 23:34] Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
King David
[Acts 13:22] And ..., he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
[Psalm 69:3-4] 3I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. 4They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty:….
[Psalm 59:3] For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
[Psalm 109:2] For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
[Psalm 120:2] Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
[Psalm 119:161] Princes have persecuted me without a cause: [Psalm 119:23] Princes also did sit and speak against me:..When someone formulates a lie of false report against another person the very best way for the injured person/innocent victim to respond is to imitate our Loving Heavenly Father and our Lord Christ/Messiah with acts of love, prayer and forgiveness for the offending person.
[Matthew 5:43-48] 43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
[Luke 23:34] Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do…
[Acts 7:59-60] 59And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
[Romans 12:19] Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
[Leviticus 19:18] Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
[1Samuel 24:12] The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
[Luke 18:7] And shall not God avenge his own elect,.?In addition to the harm done to the innocent person being lied about, the heart of the hearer of the lie or false report becomes filled with hate and anger toward the innocent person. It is important to remember that our FatherLove and our Lord Christ/Messiah have instructed us to keep our hearts pure with all diligence.
[Proverbs 4:23] Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
[Matthew 15:19] For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:Unfortunately the hearer’s heart has now become defiled and they become a participant to the lie/false report/offense as they join in illegal, hateful, evil and criminal acts against the innocent person/victim of the Lie.
From discussions with several victims of satan’s lies and false reports (as satan works through others), these innocent victims have unfortunately experienced evil, criminal, terrorism, harassment and illegal acts made against them, such as:
a. Food and drink servers putting harmful items in the innocent person’s food and drinks.
b. Airport workers destroying the innocent person’s luggage.
c. Flight attendants purposely spilling coffee or some other drink on the innocent person.
d. Flight attendants purposely bumping their service cart into the innocent person.
e. Mechanic/carpenter/crafts persons performing shoddy repair work (and over charging) on the innocent person’s auto, home, other belongings and property.
f. Business employees being extremely rude to the innocent person.
g. Business employees being extremely frightened and panicky while servicing the innocent person.
h. Others taking every opportunity to gossip, slander and destroy the reputation of the innocent person.
i. Private security guards who purposely harass, surround, shove, bump and step on the innocent person’s toes.
j. Anonymous harassing telephone calls and emails.
k. Many citizens making obscene gestures as they drive pass the innocent person’s vehicle.
l. Public and private law enforcement officers (including security guards) and others who ignore the victim’s request/plea for help.
m. Others who have the resources to determine the actual facts and thus help the innocent victim but instead refuse to investigate and determine if the lie or false report is indeed false.
n. Those who know of the lie/false report and could help the innocent victim by working withthe victim and appropriate law enforcement offices, but instead decide to not get involved.To all, please just use your intelligence for a moment and see that the above acts are those of terrorism and harassment and really have no objective of catching the supposedly terrible person in an actual crime - it is just plan terrorism and harassment. All law enforcement and security guards really know that if the objective is to catch someone in an actual crime then the above actions will not do this. HOWEVER, if the objective is to terrorize and harass someone the above does this. An appeal to all - just think! think!
Hopefully no one knowingly would perform such actions toward a innocent person. However, the problem is that the “satan sponsosed lie/false report” through an individual is generally accepted by the hearer and thus offending party as being credible.
In order to avoid satan’s trap, just remember that If someone is truly a criminal or is evil, it is only the duty of official law enforcement officers (and the vengeance of our FatherLove) to ensure that legal justice is administered. However, if anyone takes the law into their own hand by performing hateful and criminal acts as mentioned above, then they have become a criminal them self.
It is important to realize that as FatherLove’s child our job is to only love our enemies and do good to them. Even if someone is firmly convinced that another person is a criminal and truly evil it is still not their right and duty to help destroy that individual by evil acts such as indicated above.
Any evil act someone may decide to do against another person only makes them self a criminal. Therefore, it is critical that anyone stop and repent immediately if they are doing anything toward another person other than loving, praying and forgiving them. Our Loving Heavenly Father knows all of the thoughts and intents of each of our hearts and HIS spiritual law of sowing and reaping, guarantees that everyone will receive in turn what they do to others, whether good or bad. [Colossians 3:25] But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
Spiritual Law/Principle - Sowing and Reaping
[Galatians 6:7] Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
[Job 4:8] Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
[Luke 6: 31]And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
[Matthew 7:12]Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
[Romans 13: 8-10] 8Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9For this, ..Thou shalt not bear false witness,..; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
[Proverbs 17:13] Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
[Romans 12:17] Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
[1Thessalonians 5:15] See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
[1Peter 3:9] Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
[Colossians 3:25] But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
FatherLove’s Responsibility To The Offender/Liar
FatherLove stands up and fights for the rights of HIS children. Therefore the person whom satan works through to formulate a lie and false report tactic will be appropriately judged and repaid. This includes all who become a participant in a lie and false report through their evil acts to the innocent person/victim of false report.
[Romans 12:19] Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
[2Thessalonians 1:6] Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you.
[Deuteronomy 30:7] And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
[Deuteronomy 28:7] The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
[Proverbs 12:19] … a lying tongue is but for a moment.
[Proverbs 19:5] A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
[Proverbs 19:9] A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
[Proverbs 21:6] …a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
[Proverbs 21:28] A false witness shall perish.
[Proverbs 26:28] A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it.
[Malachi 3:5] And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against …false swearers,...saith the LORD of hosts.
[Colossians 3:25] But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
FatherLove’s Responsibility To The Innocent Victim Of The Lie
[Deuteronomy 28:7] The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
[Isaiah 54:17] No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
[Psalm 91:14-16] 14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.Lastly, please visit the following website and view the section entitled ‘Spiritual Laws' for further information http://lovefaithhopefellowship.com/c5_Spiritual_Heart.html
