Friends this is what i discovered trying to know the things God hate and this what found out.
I know that your life will be
changed as it was mine as you gain understanding of what God meant when
He had Solomon write, “Six things the Lord hates; in fact, seven are
detestable to him.” —Proverbs 6:16-19
Keep your heart clean from these and follow the Ten Commandments and the commandments He has given us.
Six things the Lord hates; in fact, seven are detestable to Him:
-
(4) Arrogant Eyes
-
(5) A Lying Tongue
-
(6) Hands That Shed Innocent Blood
-
(7) A Heart That Plots Wicked Schemes
-
(1) Feet Eager to Run to Evil
-
(2) A Lying Witness Who Gives False Testimony
-
(3) One Who Stirs Up Trouble Among Brothers
NOTE: The numbers in brackets “( )” are the order in which the Lord gave them.
Arrogant Eyes: Don’t look at others and hold
yourself higher because you know more truths then they do, or because
you have a gift that another does not. They could look at you the same
way. We are not all the same.
If you feel the need for arrogance,
or to be arrogant, look at what about that person makes you feel
arrogant, and turn to your heart and ask, “Why does this bother ME?”
Then fix it and the arrogance will be gone. If you don’t fix it, you
will struggle as you try to, or choose to walk without arrogance.
John responded, “Master, we saw
someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him
because he does not follow us.” “Don’t stop him,” Jesus told him,
“because whoever is not against you is for you.” — Luke 9:49-50
A Lying Tongue: We aren’t to
be saying things as truths in order to get ahead; or, to be seen as
better than you are; or, to cover something shameful. We also don’t want
to speak untruths purposely to appear smarter or more holy.
But that is not how you learned
about the Messiah, assuming you heard Him and were taught by Him,
because the truth is in Jesus: You took off your former way of life, the
old man that is corrupted by deceitful desires; Since you put away
lying, speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, because we are members
of one another. — Ephesians 4:20-21, 25
Hands That Shed Innocent Blood:
Destroying innocent or blameless people by killing their will, their
dignity, their gift given by God. By putting people down in these areas
as harmless as this one may seem, it allows for worse things to come in.
(This led to Saul’s desire to kill David. It started out emotionally and then physically.)
Saul was furious and resented this
song. “They credited tens of thousands to David,” he complained, “but
they only credited me with thousands. What more can he have but the
kingdom?” So Saul watched David jealousy from that day forward. The next
day an evil spirit from God took control of Saul, and he began to rave
inside the palace. — 1Samual 18:8-10
A Heart That Plots Wicked Schemes:
Speaking, thinking, wishing, spiteful, hurtful—by doing any of these
only feeds the flesh. We need to train our hearts to purposely practice
kindness, gentleness, etc. (Galatians 5:22-23). Otherwise we move
nowhere.
Though they intend to harm you and devise a wicked plan, they will not prevail. —Psalms 21:11
Feet Eagar to Run to Evil:
Going to places you know God isn’t in the middle of: TV, books, friends,
parties, drugs, booze. Instead of running to Him you run to something
“evil” for comfort. Take time to go to God and get right and then seek
out what made you run, or want to run.
Finally be strengthened by the Lord
and by His vast strength. Put on the armor of God so that you can stand
against the tactics of the Devil. For our battle is not against flesh
and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the
world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in
the heavens.
— Ephesians 6: 10-13
— Ephesians 6: 10-13
Lying Witness Who Gives False Testimony:
You don’t know or understand the truths from God, but are spreading
around untruths to others and not allowing them the right to grow. Teach
your spouse (understood that ‘spouse’ also meant children and/or
family) what God shows you and the one listening needs to accept it as
truth.
He answered them, “The secret of the
kingdom of God has been granted to you, but to those outside,
everything comes in parables so that they may look and look, yet not
perceive; they may listen and listen, yet not understand; otherwise,
they might turn back—and be forgiven.”
He also said, “Is a lamp brought in
to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn’t it to be put on a
lampstand? For nothing is concealed except to be revealed, and nothing
hidden except to come to light. If anyone has ears to hear, he should
listen! Then He said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear. By the
measure you use, it will be measured and added to you. For to the one
who has, it will be given, and from the one who does not have, even what
he has will be taken away.” —Mark 4:11-12, 21-25
One Who Stirs Up Trouble Among Brothers:
Don’t gossip maliciously! Don’t tell a person that someone is doing
something on purpose for the purpose that you know it will upset, bother
or anger the person you are telling. If you do not know if it will
bother them or not, even if you think it won’t, don’t say it if you
INTEND to get a malicious reaction from the one you are telling. It will
or could cause them to then sin in anger. If the one you are
“gossiping” about is doing wrong – go to them and help them.
For we hear that there are some
among you who walk irresponsibility, not working at all, but interfering
with the work [of others]. Now we command and exhort such people, by
the Lord Jesus Christ, that quietly working, they may eat their own
bread. Brothers, do not grow weary in doing good. And if anyone does not
obey our instruction in this letter, take note of that person; don’t
associate with him, so that he may be ashamed. Yet don’t treat him as an
enemy, but warn him as a brother.—2Thesaloanians 3:11-15
