The Torrents of Religious and Political Posturing Vs. The Authentic Voice of God - Prophetic Exhortation and Insights

 

⬆️ Please Click The Picture To Listen to Podcast   (Length: 15 minutes) by Mary Lindow We Are On The Cusp Of Probably One Of The Greatest Days  Of The Dismantling Of Religious Behavior And Abuse In The Charismatic Church And Evangelical Church To Date.   In the days ahead we’re going to see many people hungering for that sacred time in worship where there is a waiting upon the Lord, and in the honoring of his name. Clearly we attract the presence of the Lord when we are focused upon “The Presence”, and not upon the performance.   We shouldn’t be surprised if like Jesus, we collide with torrents of political & religious and cultural expectations. So, on a daily basis, our purity of vision to move toward the Kingdom will also cause us deep discomforts that will ask us to set aside our preferences, and our convenience.   This  pressing towards the Kingdom will ask us to say things that we’d rather not say, to go places that we’d rather not go, to give away things that we’d rather keep.  And in this discomfort, each time we have an opportunity to cry out to God:  “Where did you go? Why does pursuing your kingdom of abundance and peace not always feel like abundance and peace?” I’d like to offer these possibilities to ponder.  In every way, He’s purifying your heart.    WHAT IS THIS OBSESSION THAT IS BEGINNING TO DRIVE PEOPLE AWAY FROM RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES  AND STRUCTURAL PROGRAMMING?   Is it fatigue from fleshly efforts? Is it weariness with well doing? Or! Is it the beginning of a matter?   A. W. Tozer once said, "Self Is The Blurred Veil That Hides The Face Of God From Us. It Can Be Removed Only In Spiritual Experience,   Never By Simple Instruction."   The Lord is allowing man to have the joy and shock of coming to the end of his means of prodding and producing until he falls into a heap at the feet of the One who has the key to the place of hope and rest! He. The King of tranquility and Divine Purpose have the place of Sanctuary carved out in a definite place.   THE PLACE OF WORSHIP "But the time is coming--it has, in fact, come--when what you're called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter." "It's who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself--Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration.” That is all from John: 23-24   APOSTOLIC ORIGINS BEGAN WITH THE DEVOTED AND YET WEARY DISCIPLES OF JESUS COMING TOGETHER IN A "PLACE" OF WAITING, RESTING AND WORSHIPING Those waiting in an upper room. Hiding from the world and its pressures and threat Waiting. Worshiping. REMEMBERING the past things they had experienced while walking with Jesus. They were asking the heart questions of, "Why are we here? What are we waiting for? What is this all about?"   My Brothers and Sisters, We are Again... ...In the same place.   WE ARE SIMPLY RESTING IN THE KNOWLEDGE  THAT THE LORD HAS BROUGHT US TO END OF THE OF THE PAST WAYS AND FORMS OF MAN. He is preparing the way of His Power with a place of personal introspection and heart searching until we see that we must be truthful in our worship of Him. We must come into agreement with His Spirit and the way that He desires to move among those who know Him, and among those who do not. Old things are passing away. LOOK! He does a new thing! New to us, BUT Not To Him.   AS WE BECOME OBSESSED WITH THE IDEA OF NOTHING TO PERFORM, nothing to take to task, nothing to self generate but only to "marinate" and saturate in, we see the promises He has made begin to be realized. We must bring a mind, which has been emptied of old prejudices, old traditional theology, human philosophy and false data. A mind so fully humble and empty that the Lord can reveal to it great, bright depths of truth and beauty, and floods of spiritual understanding that we have never dreamed of before!  (Amplified Bible) "Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.' -Jeremiah 33:3   Francis Frangipane says it best. "We must bring hearts that are emptied of our abundant earthly attachments and sad, “holier-than-thou” sentimentalism, old friendships, old day intuitive loves." We must bring empty hands that have handed over our own works, all planning strategies and “string pulling” for self.  Hands and hearts that hold onto no toys, and to no Treasure. Hands that bring no human demand or bargaining skills. Hands so empty that they can grip firmly the Sword of the Spirit, the cross, or the tool that God may put into them."   Dear Friend!  God fills our nature and fills our lives in relationship to how they are emptied for Him.  God knows our heart. He sees what we can’t see. If we allow Him, He begins taking out all the impurities, emptying us of ourselves and filling us with Himself – so He can use us as a vessel of honor.   SO OFTEN AS OF LATE, IN PLACES OF MEETING AND GATHERINGS OF HUNGRY SAINTS, THE HOLY HUSH OF HEAVEN HAS FALLEN  WITH SUCH SWEETNESS AND SIMPLICITY.   All the fancy trappings of "noisy worship strategy" pale compared to this heavy rich perfumed presence that descends on those who will wait upon the Lord and grow stronger. There is no need for airy or trendy teachings and thoughts. No need for the pious and well-oiled speeches implying the way to go. (Because they say so!) Blessed are those who are willing to release all that is not THE Kingdom in them, who let their hearts be purified, for they shall see God himself—God’s life being birthed in every challenge. God’s kingdom coming on Earth as it is in heaven. As we wait. Humble. At His feet... ...He moves upon many within the Body to rise up and declare, to share, risk, expound and grow in the Grace of God, as well as in much Mercy.   You are right in the middle of God's process for you.  You don't have to settle for God's second best because of somebody else's choices or your own. As you are being who you are in Him, you can do what you are supposed to do. You may have disappointments, but your life is His story with depth, adventure, suspense, surprising plot turns, and darkness that Jesus defeated. Be blessed as you understand more of His story that He is writing in your life.  1 Peter 1:5. "...Who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time."   God surrounds you with His favor as a shield.  You are shielded by His power, so that in every dark thing you experience, you can live large and strong. God put you on earth in your exact place for His specific purpose,  and you are living in that purpose, even when you don't know it. Your soul may be grumbling and resisting,  but you are living the story that God is ready to reveal to you. God is a lot bigger than you expect Him to be.  He's a lot bigger than your circumstances. He is the God of detail.  He is deeply involved in the small details of your life.   HEAVEN LONGS TO KISS THE EARTH AGAIN .The King of Heaven is descending with an unexplainable and definite wave of stillness It is His manifested Presence. In His Presence. His Sanctuary, is fullness. Completion. Needs met... ...And Joy.   Let's pray from Ephesians 1.  I ask that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation so that you may know him better.  I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.  That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion. And every name that is invoked not only in the present age, but also in the one to come. In the power of that name we pray. Amen.    NOW I ENCOURAGE YOU NOT TO BE AFRAID  WHEN THE EARTH IS SHAKING  AND STRANGE AND ODD THINGS ARE TAKING PLACE!    Understand, God is not weak. He is not deaf. He is not asleep. But, he does have an extended power in mercy because he knows that when his justice and judgment is kindled and he moves, it is sovereignty complete and there is no turning back. This is a time for us to do personal examination, and yeah, there’s a lot of stuff being shaken. A lot of people have been warned, a lot of ministries have still chosen to hide things that are going to come out, because they chose not to go the way of accountability and repentance, and the Lord has to let it come to pass. He doesn’t want his sheep deceived, and he certainly doesn’t want them abused, but it’s also happening in individual lives. If we’re looking to the church and if we’re looking to leaders to be our ultimate guide, then the Lord will allow us to have great disappointment and failures there.   EACH OF US IS TO COME BEFORE THE FATHER!  Jesus said how to pray. He taught us!  He said to say, “My Father, you are in heaven, holy, holy is your name! Let your kingdom come, let your will be done, (which means in our lives and in others lives) like it is in heaven, and give us today our daily bread. You see, we look forward to everything we want now down the road instead of accepting that today is enough, it’s sufficient.   So I encourage you to get still, get quiet. Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. It says in the word, "Whether you turn to the left or to the right there is a voice behind you saying this is the way, walk in it." (Isaiah 30:21)  It may not be pleasant, may not be popular, and it certainly may not be comfortable, but it is safe and it will keep you in a place where you are determined and at peace to serve the Lord.   REMEMBER, DON’T BE AFRAID.  Don’t listen to the frightening narratives, don’t give into the sounds around you telling you to be afraid because that’s the goal of the enemy. Satan comes to bring fear and steal and rob your peace and destroy your trust in the Lord, and Jesus said,  "I AM come! I am! I have come that you might have life, and have it to the fullest!' That’s John 10:10.  And what that means is “might have life to the fullest”.   We have to choose to not listen to the world’s narratives, and trust me some of them sound really great! There are some great analytics out there, brillant minds. Brilliant voices, but if they don’t have the God breath, breathed on them, and they are not hearing from God accurately and it is nothing more than just a bunch of propaganda, or people trying to sell stuff, you’re going to get sucked into looking for answers and places that will come up empty.   The voice of God is big, but sometimes it’s very still and he wants us to discipline ourselves to get away from our phones get away from all the stuff, and simply bask and wait… … Until he speaks.   I bless you today, and I look forward to our next podcast together.

"LOT'S WIFE - A DIVIDED HEART" - THE WORLD TRAPPED BY PLEASURE, PAIN & POWER

By Mary Lindow

How can we explain this wave of the loss of spiritual discernment and power?  

How does the seductive darkness steal the very heart out of the Christian experience?

One thing is for certain: it doesn't happen suddenly or overnight. 

People lose their love for the truth by degrees. 

Little by little they lower their standards and compromise their faith, until nothing remains except a dead, empty, angry and bitter form.

Some, like Lot's wife, will be so married to the world   so enmeshed in its delicious intellectual and sociological "oneupmanship" that they cannot let go in time. They will suffer with terrible and shocking consequences over the things which they loved more than they loved God.

Others, like Lot, will awaken just in time to choose very quickly and decisively. Without taking a backward glance, they will move out in complete obedience to the will of God. My friends, This is the choice everyone faces. 

Lot's wife suffered terrible consequences when she played with the word of a holy God.

She was dragging her feet and resented having to leave the life she had grown to adore in every way. The offense of looking back upon the luxury, sensual and "modernized" lifestyle that she had grown to love, exposed her divided will. It also revealed the fact that her heart was still bound up with the affairs of a corrupt, and condemned social order. 

Two voices were competing for her faithfulness and steadfastness in the face of temptation.

The voice of heaven–the voice of God calling her to liberty, purity, and salvation. The other voice, the voice of the darkness–the voice of popularity and pleasure, the voice of Sodom. Slowly the voice from beneath gained a foothold in a badly bent conscience, and Lot's wife stands as a tragic example of a divided heart.  

Jesus said, "Remember Lot's wife,"

and He said it to those who were going live through the final traumatic moments of earth's history. He is saying it to the believer ( you and I ) right now–"Remember Lot's wife." We need to hear it again and again. The message that says "Obedience is better than anything else, in revealing our love." Jesus said so. "If you love me, then keep my commandments." 

Disobedience is worse than anything because it is an act of disloyalty in its very nature.

It says, "I can handle this. I'm clever and informed!" But that's not what being obedient requires. It's willingly and honestly walking away from anything that keeps you from allowing your heart to be "re-created" and cleaned. Don't risk the "look back" - upon the pleasures of being in the "vibe" of the humming world machine. The result will be the loss of the "homing device" of God's directional Voice, and the absence of the Holy Presence of the fullness of God's Spirit. 

Whisper this prayer and verse with me, into the ear of God. 

"Create, form in me a new, clean heart, O God, 

filled with clean thoughts and right desires. 

Don’t toss me aside, banished forever from your presence. 

Please! Don’t remove your Holy Spirit from me. 

Restore to me again the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. 

AMEN

"NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS"

By Mary Lindow 

through the Holy Spirit

TO LISTEN TO THIS MESSAGE AS AN AUDIO PODCAST

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO THE AUDIO PLAYER

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.

THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS SAYING,

"Be very careful whom you share your treasures with. How many pearls have you cast before piggish souls in the past, only to have them ground to powder?

The servant Paul the apostle was more than a new herald in the order of the day. He stirred up old systems and disturbed demonic religious strongholds. You must be ready to "power up" for years of opposition and hoards of religious factions and fracture s of truth!

The past years of agony have been hard soldierly-like boot camp. Elite forces training. It will not go away. 

You must simply learn that it is My duty to do the fighting for you. Just be certain that you are only speaking, ONLY SPEAKING, what I have told you to.  Nothing more. Nothing less."

THIS IS A TIME IN THE KINGDOM  WHERE WE ALL MUST SOBERLY COUNT THE COST OF WHAT WE ARE ABOUT TO STEP INTO ON EVERY LEVEL.

If there is not the peace of the Holy Spirit resting on those who you are involved with don't move into anything until the peace comes. Gatherings and movements can feel real exciting and purposeful until conflict, control, and competition show up.

The apostolic and prophetic saints in Acts, fasted, ministered to the Lord, and then the Holy Spirit spoke. We have all learned many a painful lesson in the past from experiences of over planning, programming, and hurrying to help God out.

TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON A TIME.

Until you have a full green light don't move. It will keep you from having to backtrack and it trains in humility.

ACQUAINTANCE OR RELATIONSHIP?

Ask yourself the following question. 

"Are you simply an acquaintance or are you working in relationship with others and those whom you feel are to move into a more Kingdom minded level of Spiritual intimacy with?"

Before I finish with what the Spirit of God would have me share in a final prophetic word, I am impressed to share with you the difference between the two words.

Acquaintance and Relationship

Acquaintance 

1.Somebody who is known slightly rather than intimately. 

2.Knowledge, usually slight, of somebody or something.

Relationship 

1.The connection between two or more people or groups and their involvement with each other, especially as regards how they behave and feel toward each other and communicate or cooperate. 

2.An emotionally close friendship,

IF YOU SHARE WHAT IS PASSIONATELY BURNING IN YOUR SPIRIT WITH THOSE WHO ONLY "RELATE" ON A CASUAL SPIRITUAL LEVEL THEMSELVES YOU WILL BE CONTINUALLY DEVASTATED.

Spiritual intimacy can only be as deep as those who spend the time in spiritually intimate worship, waiting, and self-examining dialog with the Father and in relating to others of a likeminded heart. Not easy for busy human life!

Philippians 2: 1-3 1 

If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ,

if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, 

if any tenderness and compassion,

2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, 

having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.

3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, 

but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

A PROPHETIC WORD CONCLUSION:

" Hear Me!... Cries the Spirit of Holy Grace and Mercy! I desire to move upon, in, and through each of you. Not one of you alone can endure the onslaughts of evil by standing aloof and silent. Nor can the most vocal of gifts among you clearly communicate all that I long to express.

Until each one is willing to step into the Holy place of pure relationship with Me and with one another, waiting, crying out, Yes - even waiting until I come and refresh, then the generation waiting in the wings will not fully come forward.

Until it is branded into your spirits that this era in time is for the saving of the lost, the redeeming of the wasted, and the release of the power of My glory, you will be so very very frustrated by the heaviness that doggedly harasses your soul.

What I ordain, I cover. 

What I command, I give direction to. 

Be certain that you have heard what I am saying. I am fully aware of the weariness and fatigue you have been experiencing. Heavier than anything you can recall from the past.

Do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, 

as though something strange were happening to you! 1 Peter 4:12

There are many many others globally who are also still wrestling out of the cocoon in new birth and are suffering also. PRAY FOR THEM!

Hellish warfare will be a normal activity in the days ahead. Unless you harness the power of consistent prayer and train yourselves in regular gatherings of passion in prayer and worship together, you will shrink back into serious doubt, anxiety, and dread when the trauma of warfare attacks!!

GIVE VOICE TO MY SPIRIT!

Awaken your mute tongue and give voice to My name, My power and My Kingdom Solutions! No weapon formed against you will ultimately prosper! My Spirit longs to declare wonders, to decree Justice, and to destroy darkness with your lips proclaiming from the spirit.

"So is my word that goes out from my mouth: 

It will not return to me empty, 

but will accomplish what I desire 

and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." 

Isaiah 55:11

Speak out in truth and in praise and I will step into your midst with the peace you have been craving and groping for. Quickly! Enter in before you reflect and exchange ideas. After I am given My rightful place of honor and adoration, then I will speak and give you clear vision and direction."

"In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning

I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. "

Psalm 5:3

"The Event of Deception and Its Uncovering"

by Mary Lindow

In this time of re-positioning and adjustment in the Body of Christ on earth, the Lord is shaking everything He can and chooses to expose anything that we might be hiding or trying to avoid correction over.

It doesn't matter if you are educated, polished, intelligent or stunning in delivery or in appearance.

The Lord is saying to His People;

“In order to trust you with a Kingdom Harvest,

I must bring into my Holy light all that is hidden in any dark place of your life!”

For many of us, friends near and dear to us as well as colleagues have chosen to become idle, apathetic, sexually deviant, filled with self-pity, and some, nauseatingly self-promoting.

As these behaviors come to the surface, God allows many hearts to be broken, and stripped of immature ranting, and above all,

a tremendous amount of sobriety is now awakened in our lives.

The following story is very familiar to us but there are a few key points the Lord brought to my attention.

CITIZEN - CAIN AND ABLE - ABEL

Genesis chapter 4

Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.

She said, "With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man."

Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.

Now, Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil.

In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD. But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor.

So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

Then the LORD said to Cain,

"Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?

If you do what is right, will you not be accepted?

But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door;

it desires to have you, but you must master it."

Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field."

And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?"

"I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?"

The LORD said, "What have you done?

Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground. Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground,

which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you.

You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."

Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is more than I can bear.

Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth,

and whoever finds me will kill me."

But the LORD said to him, "Not so if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over."

Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.

So Cain went out from the Lord’s presence and lived in the land of Nod,

east of Eden.

THE FIRST OBSERVATION

CAIN didn't bring the very best of His goods, his talents, or his labor as a sacrifice. Just some of the fruits.

He grabbed just anything, certainly not his best. Not the very first fruits, not thinking God was watching.

Hmmmmm.... Sounds like his parents Adam and Eve. The same iniquity being passed down and re-enacted.

Abel however, brought the very best cuts with fat, to the Lord.

The very best cuts from the 1st born sheep of His flocks.

Both of these brothers knew what pleased God!

This wasn't the first time they had offered sacrifice to the Lord!

This offering was done every year!

They knew what was expected of them!

When God doesn't look with favor on Cain's' offering and instead blesses Abel …Cain is really ticked off! WHY?!

He wanted God to bless his PRESENT mediocrity! AFTER ALL…in the past years he had brought great tokens of devotion.

Cain begins to POUT! "God Just isn't fair!"

(Sounds like the same voice that influenced Adam and EVE!)

Now poor Cain looks sad and misunderstood!

THE SECOND OBSERVATION

Here is a key ingredient to the situation.

Verse 6 & 7

Then the LORD said to Cain,

"Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?

If you do what is right, will you not be accepted?

But if you do not do what is right,

sin is crouching at your door;

it desires to have you, but you must master it."

God came to check the Character of Cain-to judge Him fairly, to see what was accumulating in His heart's storehouse.

You see, Cain had become very lazy in His approach to thanking God and honoring Him. Cain was much more impressed with himself. He loved himself!

In the heat of anger and rage...

(just a side note here- this often manifests when God exposes the hidden agendas in our lives…)

… In the heat of anger and rage, Cain disregards God's voice and takes things into his own hands.

Verse 8 to 15

Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field."

And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?"

"I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?"

The LORD said, "What have you done?

Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground. Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."

Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is more than I can bear. Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me."

But the LORD said to him, "Not so if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over."

Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.

So Cain went out from the LORD'S presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

When a just punishment is handed down from God,

Cain still tries to manipulate and whine his way

out of the consequences.

Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is more than I can bear.

YOU are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence;

I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me."

He is sent to a land called Nod, which means "Wandering.”

Away…from the presence of the Lord.

WE CANNOT STORM THE GATES OF HEAVEN...

...And expect great and powerful results when the sin crouching at the door of our own hearts is yet to be mastered.

The Lord wants to perfect His people through the power of His Holy Spirit flowing through them out into the Harvest field.

But it must come thru holy people who have mastered the sin crouching at the door.

The character and attitudes of our hearts must be examined, dealt with, and Mastered. (Capital M intended!)

SERVANT LEADERS - NOT LEADERS WITH SERVANTS!

The Lord wants us to know that in order to rule as people of authority, we must also be fair and honest with the Lord so we can truly serve His people. He wants Servant Leaders.........NOT LEADERS WITH SERVANTS!

What is it like Cain that you have half heartedly offered to God this last year? Do you Rage at correction from Him or act wounded and downcast to avoid changing? Do you think that your past good deeds and good behavior are enough to obtain a present day blessing? Does Lucifer have a place to invade your heart or home or church?

Is it judging others? Exaggeration of circumstances? Racial distrust? Pride in your title or position? Is it Love of things more than God? Mismanaging Funds? Envy of others talents or Gifts? Self Pity?

The list could go on forever. We all know where the Lord has turned up the heat to smoke out any thing that is hidden

Hearts humbled through worshiping and bowing down before the Lord will bring the very Presence of the Lord into our lives, our families our circumstances. Psalm 101 is what he desires for His people to observe with great sobriety as He again will come and shake the church for another season before the ingathering of souls begins.

When we have mastered the doors of our own hearts, truly then we can approach the Gates of Heaven and Storm them with nothing being held back from the Father.

THE WAR CRY OF THE FAITHFUL SERVANT

I will sing of your love and justice, Lord.

I will praise you with songs.

I will be careful to live a blameless life

When will you come to give support to me?

I will lead a life of integrity in my own home.

I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar.

I hate all who deal crookedly;

I will have nothing to do with them.

I will reject perverse ideas and stay away from every evil.

I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors.

I will not endure conceit and pride.

I will search for faithful people to be my companions.

Only those who are above reproach will be allowed to serve with me.

I will not allow deceivers to serve in the house,

And liars will not stay in my presence.

My daily task will be to force out out the wicked

and release the city of the Lord from their grip.

Psalm 101
