FATHER, send me Holy alliances and friendships with good honest people of every race, ethnicity, or geographical place of origin. I do not want any more enemies in my life, pretending to be friend. God, be my defender who protects me day and night (Psalm 121:5-8).
There comes a time in life, we realize why separation needed to occur between us and certain situations and/or people. Some of the people were pretending to be family, friend, or trusted associate. Evoke (Revelation 18:6), give double penalty for all her evil deeds. She brewed a many cup of woe for others, she deserves at least twice as much.
In (2 Kings 2:9) Elijah speaks to Elisha, and told him to ask for something before he is taken away, Elisha requests a double portion of Elijah’s spirit. A double portion is needed today, based on your works, be given double for what you have done.
Do not pretend being something you’re not, no matter who you happen to be, or think you are.
The Bible reminds us of Paul, (2 Corinthians 10:10), many knew Paul’s letters were weighty and forceful, however they judged him by his weak physical appearance, and what they considered his worthless speeches.
Paul was both an Apostle; the word Apostle is another word for messenger, and those considered Disciples, shares with others understanding of what it feels like being a student or mathetes, who lives in the day of his teacher. If you have both titles, you are considered wise, and never have to pretend to be anyone else, no matter your appearance or manner of speech.
Do not touch God’s anointed!
And don’t assume them to be weak, their wisdom, strength, and authority is from God. They are chosen, and do not pretend to be anything other than what they were destined to be.
