IF YOU SEE HYPOCRISY, FORGIVE IT AND CONFESS IT IN YOURSELVES -- BILL HERNANDEZ

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. 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. 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. 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. What you see forgive. What you hear forgive. 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. If you hear of adultery, forgive it and confess it in yourselves. If you see selfishness, forgive it and confess it in yourselves. 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.
