Over the years I've had several women approach and befriend me claiming to "love" me and be my "best" friend. I was always hesistant to accept these new titles and words that were thrown at me by these women because its not wise to trust what a stanger says, looking at deeds over time is what will show if someone is true or not.
When I experience people who are not in my life for positive reasons I slowly fade into the background. Now that I am trying to walk in the ways of The Most High I choose who I fellowship with even more carefully. There are many who will come in the name of Messiah but are not truely walking with him. Lets look at what scripture has to say about them. Phil 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.17:Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.18:For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:19:Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) Looking here we see Paul warning us with weeping that there were many who walked the walk not showing a good example of Messiah even back in ancient times. He even tells us that the carnal believers are an enemy of the stake of Messiah! They care more about earthy things than they do about spreading the good news of Messiah, they try to hide it but they cannot as YHWH knows the hearts of all men. Jer 17:10 I The Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. Psalm 44:21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. We must certainly be careful who we befriend as there are many with the spirit of Judas walking amongst us! Judas played both sides, he was walking with Messiah but also walking with "the world". He was double minded! James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
The walk of a called out one can be lonely but we have to remember that we cannot fellowship with everyone. One must choose who they will serve either it be God or man. Exodus 32:26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me. And once one makes a decision they must keep their lamp burning with oil and watch for the return of Messiah remaining unspoiled from this wicked world, this is what our walk is all about. Matt 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. We do not know when Yahoshua Messiah will return, we are to continue to walk in his ways and be obedient to his teachings. Not becoming wrapped up in the things of this world.To fall into the hands of The living God is a fearful thing.
