Note from Steve Shultz:
This word was first posted on the ELIJAH LIST in Feb of 1997 and then again in
1999. This morning, the Lord woke me up and I could not rest until I
re-posted this word. Probably 95% of those on this list have never seen this
word, since you have come onto the ELIJAH LIST since 1999.
At some points, this word might be considered even
a little harsh, but if you read it carefully and prayerfully, you will discover
that it is firm, yet very Scriptural! And in fact, it is chock FULL of
love-- if you read it with the right spirit. Â
I don't know, by the way, if Bill Hernandez' email address is even correct any
longer since it's been so long, but I've posted it, just in case.
May the challenge of this word go
straight to all of our hearts.

IF YOU SEE HYPOCRISY, FORGIVE IT AND
CONFESS IT IN YOURSELVES -- BILL HERNANDEZ
2-15-97 Prophetic word given by Pastor Bill Hernandez (billh@pacbell.net)
Vineyard Christian Fellowship of San Francisco, California, USA
I am aware of the suffering and groaning within My church for wherever you go,
it truly is the same. There is quarreling and competition and jealousy and
envy. There are many vile things as it has always been. No matter how blessed
and glorious a church is, my children walk impure and immature. No place on
earth is as holy as My heaven and My kingdom. The whole earth falls
short and even the best of the best of My servants are plagued by unholy
things. Therefore, I say to you all to forgive because none of you is clean
and it's in walking in forgiveness and love that judgment is forestalled
indefinitely.
Are there great prophets and teachers and pastors among you? They are as
unclean as the rest.
Â
Are there servants of compassion and mercy among
you? They too are unclean. I do not regard the great works of man. I regard
obedience in love and turning from hellish, selfish ambition.
Â
If you do not obey, My discipline will resist you
and undo your powers and abilities until humbled, you obey My greatest
commands - "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with
all your soul, and with all your mind. This the first and great commandment.
And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
Â
Your greatest achievements will be to walk in
these. If you prophesy and heal the sick. If you teach wisdom to the naive. If
you haul in the unsaved and if you stand against the gates of hell. You are
no more a people than your ability to obey a simple command of respect and
love.
A great wind is coming that will expose where love does not dwell.
Even more so, evil will be clearer and more apparent. Terrible things will
emerge that have always been.
Â
What you see, forgive!
Â
What you hear, forgive!
Â
For what you see and hear will be the mirror of
your heart. If you forgive, then in forgiveness of your sins you will walk
and your Father who is in heaven will cleanse your personal soul of the things
you see and hear. To the degree you can walk in these things, to that degree
you will be made holy by the cleansing and regeneration of My blood. If you
pray for expansion of My kingdom on earth, then focus your prayer on this -
that obedience to My commandment of love be spread abroad in every heart.
If you see hypocrisy, forgive it and confess it in yourselves.
Â
If you hear of adultery, forgive it and confess
it in yourselves.
Â
If you see selfishness, forgive it and confess it
in yourselves.
Â
If you see or hear of wrong doing, forgive it and
confess it in yourselves for you are all the same and what you see is you.
Acknowledge your sins and I will acknowledge forgiveness. Forget your sins by
pointing the finger and I will forget I even knew you.
Scripture: Mat 7:1-27, Mat 18:21-35, Mat 22:37-40, 2Pet 1:5-11
