Up to this point in this selected text, it teaches us how to judge between the Good, the Bad and the Ugly Prophets. We are to be aware that there will be wolf like people looking like meek people. There maybe times when the spiritual wolf may not know that they are a wolf because they cannot hear Yahuah's Holy Spirit.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
I stopped here to point out that doing the will of the Father is Spiritual Fruit.
Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, in Your name did we not prophesy, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many miracles?’. And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’. Matthew 7:15-23
This is where it may be confusing for the wolf in sheep's clothing. They thought they were doing the will of the Father using His name. But yet they hear Him say, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness". Here is a list of things we must consider.
1. Not all works in God's name is His calling.
2. Not all Prophecy in God's name is True Prophecy.
3. Practicing Lawlessness looking like God's will is a real thing.
4. There will be people that look like Saints that will be sent to Hell.
5. Evidence like a miracle is not necessarily proof of it being of Yahuah Elohiym.
When Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus Christ was doing His ministry, people always wanted a miracle to prove that he was what He said He was. But yet when He did do a miracle He was charged with breaking Talmud Law. Moses never recorded a Law from Yahuah saying, thou shalt not heal the sick on the Sabbath. We are to keep the Sabbath Holy. In other words, set apart from the other six days to rest. When resting becomes more important than to have compassion on your neighbor, resting on the Sabbath is no longer Holy. Resting is then self-centered, it's the worship of self and also prideful because their religion is more important than compassion. Compassion on your neighbor is what Yahuah Elohiym is all about. Yahuah Elohiym sent a part of Himself to take the hit, to die and enter Hell for us. By spiritual Law, we are pardoned for our sin if He knows us. It's Lawlessness that He doesn't know.
Lawlessness and Pride is wickedness. Lawlessness and Pride are the parents of Hypocrisy. This is where we must consider our own actions and decisions. How are we to know what we are forgiven for and what is being a Hypocrite?
A Hypocrite is the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform. At one point or another everyone hasn't lived up to their own adopted standards. But is that really a Hypocrite if we adopt Yahuah Elohiym's Word and become caught up in our own thoughts in the flesh? Yahuah Elohiym's Grace is sufficient.
A Hypocrite is where you already come to the point of having compassion and then cast them to the wolves. A Hypocrite is when you intentionally use deception for the gain of what you coveted. A Hypocrite is using deception to downgrade your neighbor's reputation so you are chosen instead.
Lawlessness is when Yahuah Elohiym's Law is no longer considered. It is the substitute that replaces the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule given by Yahusha Hamashia. Lawlessness is the celebration of gluttony, lust, greed, anger, sloth, sadness, vainglory and pride.
Pride is bright and shiny on the outside but corrupted on the inside. If you are arrogant, you might be prideful. If you wallow in self-pity you might be prideful. If you are hostile, aggressive, or prejudice, you might be prideful. If you take all the credit and promote self, you might be prideful. If you have self degradation or demoted yourself, you might be prideful.
The answer to your problem is Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus Christ. Take it to Him in Prayer.
