False Hope.
Have you ever been disappointed by someone who has given you false hope or made you think that they were your friend only to disappoint you by saying things behind your back that you didn’t think would get repeated? It’s called false hope. Sure you’ve heard of it. I’ve been exposed to it and know what it feels like and not too good. There is scripture related to false hope’s.
Jeremiah 23:16
This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD.
One thing that really caught my attention was that
“they speak visions from their own
minds, not from the mouth of the Lord”
That is a key element right there! They have their own adgenda and for whatever reason they are doing these things, whether it’s to gain insight into your life for false hope, to try and gain control over you, to try and intimidate you, make you feel inferior. Whatever reason. There are people out there like that unfortunately. It’s like a person claiming to be a Christian but when they leave church they do a 180 degree turn and forget everything they were taught and what they learned about and immediately go back to the way that they behaved before. It’s like church is just some place to sit and “soak up the sun” and not soak in the word. Church is not all about entertainment it’s about enriching your life of the blessings of God! And being a light to others who need that light they need that hope that you have.
2 Samuel 22:29
You are my lamp, O LORD; the LORD turns my darkness into light.
Some people don’t like to see that light. They are confused and can’t understand it. That’s because they are not in that light themselves and continue to ignore it. If people would only inquire about what is it that makes you so different from everyone else? What is it about you? It’s the light that you are seeing. That’s what it is.
Exodus 14:20
coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.
