There is no hiding hypocrisy from God. His Holy Light searches every heart! His holiness is so pure and righteous, it can be frightening. Stand in awe of your King! Holy is He!
There will be two responses to His searching: running to hide or trembling, yet drawing nearer. Search me, O Lord, and try my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me and lead me to life everlasting!
Had Aaron's sons and Ananias and Sapphira feared the Lord, they would never have acted the way they did. Pride is a terrible thing. It's better to have God's praise than man's. Root pride out.
Psalm 61
Flee to God. He is stable when the storms come. He is the Rock of our salvation. He has been, and always will be our Shelter, our Refuge, our High Tower, utterly reliable. He is worthy of our trust.
He hears and He rewards His own. His mercy and truth are our only hope and confidence. He has never failed and never will.
Sing praises, He is worthy! What you vow, especially to Him, do.
Psalm 61:1-4 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
1 Corinthians 14
Desire a gift from the Lord. Not for pride's sake, or our self-edification only, but to serve Him with. Speaking in tongues is a language for God, He is the one who gives. Don't gloat speaking in tongues, for it is to God you speak and unless one can interpret, it is not profiting to the church. Don't become conceited with "airy" speech. If you're too hard to understand, how will an outsider come into the faith? Seek to edify the church. Pray and sing in the Spirit, but pray to understand. Speaking in tongues is not to be "put away" as an "Acts-only".
Don't be simpletons in Christ, but be childlike and void of understanding when it comes to being spiteful. Don't be a partaker. God is holy and deserves the utmost respect. Don't be lax in your reverence to Him! God is not the Author of confusion. He is clear.
Women are not to preach. If anyone disagrees with Scripture, given by inspiration of God, he has not the Spirit of God. God doesn't contradict Himself.
Covet to prophesy to the end of edification and don't forbid speaking in tongues. Be orderly.
