By any means necessary? Really?

 


Should Christians support and applaud deceit/fraud if they think it will end in a desired result?  Is it ok to pursue winning by ANY means necessary?  

Well, Toni, you may ask, how do you know when deceit/fraud is afoot?  When assertions have been repeatedly proven to be lies, in the words of comedian Bill Engvall, here's your sign.  How many times do folk have to be shown something is not true before they start to believe it?  I guess it’s easier to believe a lie rather than the truth when the lie supports personal desires and agendas.  

Folk wearing the Christian label may not have meant to send the message that winning by any means necessary is ok, but that’s the message ringing loud and clear from their actions--spoken and posted.   

I don’t care who it is.  I don’t care how it’s justified or spiritualized, deceit/fraud is wrong.  Winning by any means necessary is wrong.

How am I so certain?  This…

Psalm 101:7 KJV 

7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.   

Christians should not be joining in with anyone who’s praying that deceit/fraud prevail so that a desired result is achieved.  We should be standing in agreement with prayers inviting the Lord's will and asking Him to expose ALL deceit, cancel it and tie the hands of the enemy.  

Some seem to have lost sight of this so I want to be clear:  The enemy is NOT flesh and blood, but principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places.  (Ephesians 6:12)

The harvest is plentiful, and it is watching.

Come on church…

The Confessions of Mae B. Yew I've Got a Man! June 03, 2010 The last time we spoke I was sportin’ a goose egg on my forehead (compliments of Momma). If you missed my last confession, you can find it at Momma and the Goose Egg . Shortly after I lost my mind and blew up at Momma, I apologized because I was wrong. I don’t know how ya’ll were raised, but I was taught to never ever disrespect my momma. Do you know what she did? Momma kissed my goose egg and said, “Baby, I’m sorry I put this thing on your beautiful face.” She hugged me real tight, and her gardenia perfume drifted over me in a loving, fragrant cloud. That was sweet wasn’t it? Wait. There’s more. Then she said, “But if you ever speak to me like that again, I’ll knock you into tomorrow, then love on ya just like this when you come to.” What can I say? That’s my momma. Enough about Momma and my goose egg. Ya’ll, I’ve got a man! When I became a Christian, I’m not sure what happened. Men of substance stopped coming near me, an...
