Pastor Bell's Words To Live By

For the lips of an adulteress drip honey,
       and her speech is smoother than oil;

but in the end she is bitter as gall,
       sharp as a double-edged sword.

Her feet go down to death;
       her steps lead straight to the grave (Proverbs 5:3-5 NIV).

As we develop a spirit of discernment the Lord will bring people into our circle that will enable us to heighten our capacity to discern. Once we understand that there are many people who worship and serve other gods, we can then understand that they will be out to seduce us. And sometimes they are so blatant that it beggars belief. Wisdom teaches us that even though their lips are dripping with honey, that is their speech and use of words are so sweet, there is an underlying sense of mischief in all that they do.

This is how witches work. They try to infiltrate the house of God by performing and getting into positions of trust so that they can manipulate and control what goes so as to subvert what God wants to do.

So wisdom dictates that we look beyond the sweet words and the flapping eyelids and examine the substance behind what the deceiver is saying and doing. Workers of iniquity do so in private and in public they are helpful, polite and always available. Iniquity is defined as gross injustice or disobedience of what God says.

An adulteress is one who lives at home but plays away often. The writer tells us exactly where one will be led if they follow her. To avoid this we must tune in to the word, recognise the voice of deception and shun it for it will lead to death and hell. 

Sweet words are God’s words, listen to them.
