Spy alert

One of my favorite songs called "Deceive And Destroy" talks about how we have to be careful as an army of God to make sure we expose those spies in our midst. People who have enjoyed our company and our good times but suddenly turn against us and begin to try and plant doubt. People who drink from our wells and then turn around and poison those wells. As I mentioned in yesterday's service we have to be careful to defend ourselves from all enemies...foreign and domestic. It's the domestic ones that we have to keep more of an eye on.

Domestic enemies are basically traitors. Something somewhere sets them off and they turn against the people who welcomed them, who shared with them,blessed them. That's a bad thing, children.

One of the best ways that illustrates how bad it is to become a traitor within your camp is the Marines. They have a motto: "Semper Fidelis" which means "always faithful" Now. because they are a select few, the best of the best, they are expected to live this motto for life in everything they do...everything. So, when a Marine is unfaithful to his wife, he has betrayed that motto and is no longer worthy to be a Marine. When he speaks against his leaders, he is unworthy. When he does things to undermine and hinder and prevent an organization he belongs to from moving forward, then he is a disgrace. This is why you see that Marines who do not live up to the motto are basically branded as good for nothing all talk and no substance...something that is next to impossible to over come. He must now work extra hard to prove himself worthy and it's rare that people ever trust him fully again. God's army is the same...we expect faithfulness because we are faithful.

There are people in the army of God who are like that...then they expect things to just be ok and to be trusted and considered. It's easy to just say "I'm sorry" after they've spread lies and put others down and intentionally caused damage. It is intentional because nobody spreads gossip and lies without knowing what they are doing..you'd have to pretty much be a retard to do that.

So, be careful who you listen to. Just because they appear to be active in the church doesn't mean they are trustworthy. The Bible says that by their fruits you will know them. If they look one way but their fruit is another, then listen to them politely but do not take it to heart...they are up to something.
