1 Timothy 3 1-7 (NIV)

I have been struggling with a person in my spirit! I've had warnings in dreams, and I've also tried to ignore the feeling of negative vibes. As I begin to gain sight of the issue by God revealing thing to me I begin to handle the issue. As my confirmation of everything I was feeling was in this text.

1 Timothy 3 1-7 (NIV)
1) Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer,[a] he desires a noble task.
2) Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3) not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
4) He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect.
5)(If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?)
6)He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.
7) He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil's trap.

With that being said be careful who you allow in your circle! You may have a wolf in sheep's clothing that has camouflaged themselves as a christian or a friend. The devil will attempt to duplicate something or someone to gain your acceptance and once he is invited in and accepted his true colors will show! So beware of the devils carbon copy of God's work, do not be fooled.

If you are going to do God's work be pure and follow the guidelines above! Don't fake it to you make it, just be honest and let God continue to work with you. Don't lead people when you are not fit to lead! This applies to LIFE not just doing God's work. Stop trying to be seen for something you are NOT! You may have many fooled, however, If you leave this world today God is the one you have to answer to. Why feel the need to please the world when you are not pleasing to God?
