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…
