Lying Destroys While Truth Builds

In this day that we are living in, lying has become completely acceptable except in court. Many people lie regularly and think nothing of it. As long as we believe that lying brings about something that is good or that we want, we feel justified.

Lying can become an uncontrollable addiction if one does not realize how much they are doing it and confess it to God to be cleansed. If we find ourselves in an addiction to lying, the best thing to do is to pray for cleansing and even confess to a trusted friend that we have had a problem with it, accountability is a wonderful motivator in ending a sinful addiction.

The devil was thrown out of heaven because of lies about himself. He used lying in the garden to deceive and corrupt mankind. Satan is called the father of lies, everything he does, says and is, is demonstrated in lies.

Proverbs 6:16-19 "There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."

Proverbs 19:9 "A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish."

Proverbs 12:22 "Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight."

Psalm 101:7 "No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes."

Colossians 3:9-10 "Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator."

Luke 8:17 "For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light."

When we lie, we must believe that no one knows or can see it. God sees everything, there is no hiding anything from God.

2 Chronicles 16:9 "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars."

The value of a clear and pure conscience is far more desirable than what we think we gain by lying.

Pleading the Blood is Heresy

So many things people believe are not from God's Word, but contrived by pentacostals who have the habit of cherry picking scriptures out of context to make them fit their own experience. When one tells one of these pentacostals that they are incorrect they accuse us of "putting God in a box", which is also not in Scripture.

The manipulation of accusation that we are putting God in a box affords the misguided the luxury of ignoring God and indulging in false miracles and lying wonders.


There is no place in the Word that says to "plead the blood of Christ." The pentecosals get that non-sense from the account of the Jews placing the blood on the door to protect them when the Holy Spirit came though to kill the first born, the only way to be protected was to kill a lamb in sacrificial fashion and spread it's blood on the door posts. God told them to do it and those who obeyed were spared the punishment, it had nothing to do with anyone ever repeating this practice either physically or spiritually.

The Passover was a picture of Christ's blood covering our SIN. We are never commanded to "plead the blood" for protection. No one in the Scriptures is shown to be doing this practice of "pleading the blood."

This practice of pleading the blood is used like a magical wand to be waved whenever someone is in trouble. It is cultic in nature because it presumes that all we have to do is say words and those words have power.

The lust for false miracles causes their proponents to place their trust in the miracle itself rather than in Christ. The devil will do and is doing many false miracles today that deceive weak minded people who don't know the Bible.

God can save anyone who cries out to Him and has been born again. All we have to do is pray.

"Pleading the blood" is a misguided and heretical form of prayer, more paganistic in nature than anything else.

Far too often people focus on the experience without checking it out with the Scriptures. IF something does not match with Scripture then it must be thrown out.
