A VALUABLE LESSON: BEWARE OF LIARS

A VALUABLE LESSON:  LIARS 

Have you ever stared a liar in the face when you knew that he/she was lying to you?  

What a life lesson for all to learn.

Here's the lesson, never let a liar know that you know he/she is a liar.
You're only going to frustrate yourself by doing so. 

Simply watch, recognize, listen and pray for the liar.

Watch the liar because you know that he/she cannot be trusted.

Don't entrust anything of value with a liar.

Don't trust your friendship, your well-being, your possessions or your morals and values with a liar.

Just watch them in order to learn how they operate and manipulate.

You will see that their body language and facial expressions reveal who they are.

Don't be fooled by their smiles and gestures that seem like an act of kindness.

Recognize the lie and the liar - not publicly.  God will handle that.

Know the liars for who they really are - not who you want to think they are.

You don't have to defend a lie.

The truth will overpower the lie.

Maybe not in your timing; but in due time, the truth will overshadow the lie.

Listen to liars- but don't believe them; 

In listening, you will hear the scheme of his/her lies.

...and you will learn about the character of the liar.

Don't try to figure them out or understand them.

You won't; unless you're of the same character..

Liars want you to believe that they are on your side when they really are not.

Liars are masters of deception.  Snakes.  Self-seeking.

Pray for the liar.  Pray for their repentance.

Forgive the liars.  

Yes, forgive them because God will cover you 

with His hedge of protection against the wiles of liars and their schemes.

Pray and ask God for the gift of spiritual discernment.

Allow the Holy Spirit to abide in you as your protector and your guide.

Liars and lying are destructive, divisive and unproductive.

Be a truth-bearer.

Be of the truth even when the truth isn't popular or embraced.

I would rather embrace the truth even if the truth hurts; 

than to embrace a lie that will not stand on solid ground.

Proverbs 12:22 ESV

Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.

Revelation 21:8 ESV

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
