People outside of the Lord
False Hope
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.
False Security / Taking a man’s livelihood
Deuteronomy 24:6
Do not take a pair of millstones—not even the upper one—as security for a
debt, because that would be taking a man's livelihood as security.

He may let them rest in a feeling of security, but his eyes are on their ways.
False Resting / Rest

And things turned out exactly as he interpreted them to us: I was restored
to my position, and the other man was hanged. "

but if it happens after sunrise, he is guilty of bloodshed. "A thief must certainly
make restitution, but if he has nothing, he must be sold to pay for his theft.
Ways

God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people
on earth had corrupted their ways.

father David, not turning aside to the right or to the left.

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.
