There Is A Pharisee In Everyone

Oh Jesus I have been a hot mess you have exposed in me my self-rightness, my pride, and truly the pharisee in me. Lord, please forgive me I pray you would give me the grace to truly be meek and humble of heart. I ask for the intercession of Blessed Mother and patriarch Moses to help with this.
Family, I had a fall in pride and self-righteousness, I could feel it. A family member and I were discussing a situation, and I was so passionate about my stance with them. I looked down upon them because of the way they had handled a few situations, and I realized I had resentment in my heart towards them and really didn't show them the utmost respect I should have. When I came into the room, I could feel the pride rising in me. I was warned by Blessed Mother just days before, through a rhema warning me to be leery of pride and that I am insignificant despite the gifts God has given me. And here I fell. The Lord also allowed me to fall in my discernment because of my pride. So many consequences happen because of pride.
The rhema I pulled said,
“So don’t let yourself be discouraged. This is all part of the humility you asked for. Every bit of this serves a purpose to bring you closer to your goal. Please don’t cry anymore. Just take up the standard of righteousness and walk in My courage and victory.
Jesus was much too kind. The fall in my discernment really stung something deep because it was such a contradiction. Now, I realize I had failed in discernment so I humbly accepted it. Then my Lord’s Supper readings were all about self-righteousness and so was a song Jesus played reminding me of the idol of self-roughness and judgment that I needed to get rid of…ouch. Okay Lord I am all ears.
Jesus, what on your heart?
Jesus began,
“Oh, My beloved, your sins are forgiven. There is a pharisee in everyone believe it or not. It comes out in different forms, through bigotry, through self-righteousness, through pride, and quick rash judgments so many of My people and even My brides have. However, you are all a work of progress, a beautiful masterpiece that is being refined going from glory to glory through every trial and even through every fall. So do not be discouraged by this when I show you more of yourself, more of your fleshly nature that needs to be conquered. Rather thank Me for it and make a strong resolve to do better the next time situations arise or present themselves.
Lord, how do we conquer this?
“Well, first by embracing your misery. When you see yourself or who you truly are, how then can you raise a judgment at your brother, or even draw attention to the spec in their eye when there is a log in yours? (Matthew 7:3-5). Before you are quick to judge, condemn or make a strong argument against someone or a situation stop, take some time, and first assess yourself. Have you done something like this before? If you were in their shoes, would you understand the decision they made or their thinking? ‘How many times has God forgiven me, shown me mercy? And He knows truly who I am.’ Then I want you to respond the way I respond to you.
“I want to address what you had pondered a few days ago and the advice you gave that beloved soul.”
As an aside family, one of the sisters in the community posted two videos in our Heartdwellers group about women wearing makeup and nail polish would go to hell, and another one about women wearing cargo pants would go to hell as well. It started much confusion in the group as some sincerely felt fear of going to hell because of wearing their hair in braids, another sister mentioned she would throw her makeup in the trash right away and others felt condemned by that. I had to come in to give sound advice concerning what Jesus has taught us and how many have made a doctrine out of some scriptures and then generalized them to condemn others who don’t have the same conviction. I had a heart-to-heart with the sister who posted it and shed some light on the heart of Jesus and the heart behind each Scripture and how posting things like that causes confusion to so many others, especially when Jesus has not taught us in that way. She was greatly encouraged and left with a better understanding of things.
Jesus continued
“Look how quickly you fell afterward. That is why I say there is a pharisee in all of you, that needs to be routed out, brought to the surface for you to see so you can have My heart, My mind for My church and My people. Concerning the outerwear of people, whether they wear pants, skirts, or sweaters, they cover their heads or not. Whether they cut their hair or leave it long. Whether they eat pork and all manner of food or rather abstain from certain foods because they still feel a conviction about the law. Leave them, My beloved bride. There is a doctrine of demons being sent forth concerning legalism that is putting fear in the hearts of My brides about who is going to hell and who is not. Let us first go into scripture. I made it clear in scripture alone who will not enter the kingdom of Heaven”.
So, guys, I felt by the Holy Spirit to pull up all these Scriptures about the Kingdom of Heaven and who will not enter.
Revelation 22:15
15 Outside are ‘the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral, and mur─ derers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
1 Corinthians 6:9–10
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous1 will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God
Galatians 5:19–21
19 Now bthe works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy,1 drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do2 such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Ephesians 5:5
5 For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
Timothy 1:9
9 understanding this, that the slaw is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers,
Hebrews 12:14
14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.
“Is there anywhere in these scriptures that I mention those who wear pants are going to hell? Those who wear braids and adornment are going to hell?”
And, as an aside, Jesus is mentioning these two scriptures:
1 Peter 3:1-5
Wives, in the same way, submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves.
Deuteronomy 22:5
5 “A woman must not put on men’s clothing, and a man must not wear women’s clothing. Anyone who does this is detestable in the sight of the Lord your God.
“In these scriptures do I refer to those who practice such things going to hell? No, My beloved brides, the first scripture above is a reference to how a woman should carry herself. What is most important should be her inner beauty, one of a gentle and quiet spirit, a virtuous woman and wife is what I am calling all women to. Not to focus so much on your outward appearance alone for that profits noting not before me and not even in your marriage. However, adorning yourself with these items will not lead you to hell that is condemnation. Making your looks an idol is vanity and that can lead you into ungodliness, ungodliness leads you into unrighteousness, outside of a relationship with Me and all manner of vices and sins which can lead you to hell, but you are not condemned, My brides, for doing these things. What I have always asked and encouraged in my beautiful brides is purity. Purity in your looks, in your motives, in your intentions, and in your actions. That is what matters most. There are many brides who are in the world but not of this world they may adorn themselves in this way, but their hearts are pure before Me and I walk with them. In time they will simplify their lives, and their looks, more and more, but that takes time and a conviction from My spirit alone that I do with each individual just as I have done with your little mother. Do not be worldly my beloved brides but be holy.
“You live in a generation that is bombarded with emphasis on your senses especially the gate of your eyes through social media. Women have lost their way in modesty and in virtue, even some of My ministers. Rather the platforms I have given them have become a fashion show instead. They want to keep both – both their fashion and looks which please their flesh, and to also keep Me. However, they are teaching the youth and young girls after them in misleading ways that raise up more young women who hold on to the flesh rather than dying to the flesh rather than dying to their flesh. Yet I still do not condemn them. Rather, when you see one of these you pray for them, My beloved brides, for that conviction ─ for that desire to not pursue the attention of men but my attention alone. I will anoint a great many of women who will be simple in nature, and look very ordinary but carry My extraordinary anointing. That is undeniable and that is what I am raising up in Heartdwellers. They will look past your veil and habit, they will hear My voice and see My heart in you as you move powerfully by My Spirit. That alone will bring conviction as they will desire to go deeper in surrender to Me and, in turn, will lead them in the path of simplicity and greater purity.
“The second Scripture, My beloved ones, is referenced to the spirit of homosexuality. At that time, My beloved ones, men wore what you call thawb, or long tunic just as I wore when I walked the earth. In your generation now you would call it a dress many Arabs and Muslims still wear it. Some women in different nations wore long tunics with haram pants to cover even their ankles which was such a taboo to be exposed. The ladies wore veils as a covering and also because of the heat. So you see it's not about wearing trousers or not. Not at all, My beloved ones. Those who have that conviction, allow them to keep their conviction. But there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus who live according to the spirit and not the flesh. You will not go to hell for wearing trousers, but it is detestable before Me, for a woman to wear men's clothes as a form of gender identity and a man to wear women’s clothes as a form of gender identity, and a man to wear women’s clothes as a form of gender identity, which is what is going on now rapidly. Those who continue in that sin without repentance unfortunately will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
“So, My beloved brides, it comes down to the heart of the matter. You must read between the lines of Scripture to hear My heart. My word is living and alive, it's not stale, stagnant, something for centuries ago, but for now. Know Me, know My ways, know, My heart, know My character, and know My Words and you will not go wrong. Again it's the Pharisee in many that rises up to condemn another, break off, make doctrines, and throw stones at each other when My word provided guidelines to live in holiness, godliness, and righteousness but the greatest among these is truly love. That is why Paul said, ‘I have become all things to all men.’”
1 Corinthians 9:19-23
19 Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
“You see, to those who were under the law he became like them to win them over. So if you are invited to a church that doesn’t wear pants, or makeup and covers their head then do the same and win them over with your love. If your brother does not eat pork or certain foods because of conviction when you go to his house submit to his conviction sit and eat with him in peace rather than bringing up an argument to state your case and to tear down his conviction. If your brethren prefer to adorn themselves yet you are a more simple and modest do not look at them in judgment, murmur in your heart, or even tell them to change this or that. Leave them, let it be by your loving example they want what you have. By your gentleness, meekness, and charity. Let your virtues spill out upon them that would rather entice them to live a much holier life than by your lecture or comments. The law has enslaved many, and the law was only fulfilled by Me. I do not need any more judges for I am the ultimate judge, and many will be surprised when they enter heaven to find who is there and many more will be surprised when they enter hell and find who is there.
“So be children, My beloved brides, and love, love, love. Ask me to deliver you from spiritual bigotry, self-righteousness, and judgment because it is in each of you one way or the other. Some have it to a greater degree than others. When I show this to. You do not condemn yourself but rather thank Me and ask Me for mercy to forgive you of this sin and give you the grace to see others how I see them and to purify your heart and your thoughts.”
That was the end of Jesus' message.
Wow, what a sobering message. Lord forgive me and give us these graces.
