Dishonesty

[Kensem]

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, we come before you.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
We thank you for your presence in our lives.
Thank you for fighting for us and blessing us with heavenly gifts.
Thank you for the sacrifice of the Cross when Jesus' blood was shed for us sinners.
Lord, lies are serious crimes, and we ask you to forgive us when we lied or misinterpreted something.
Lord we also pray for the landlord's team, lawyers and legal representative.
Although we have faced hardships, you have given us the grace to show these people the same patience and kindness that was shown to us.
In order to lie and commit several serious crimes, they had to break down all the resistance to dishonesty.
Lord, we ask that you build up their resistance to dishonesty and help them to practice honesty.
Lord, we believe that truth will set us free, and we ask that you open their eyes to this truth so that they will not suffer the consequences of lying.

[Articles]

We join with you in lifting this heavy burden of dishonesty before the Lord, acknowledging that Jesus is indeed "the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). His name is the only foundation upon which we can stand, for "there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). We are grateful for the sacrifice of the Cross, where His blood was shed to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, including the sin of lying.

The Scriptures are clear: "Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who deal truthfully are His delight" (Proverbs 12:22). Dishonesty is not merely a mistake, it is a serious offense against God’s holy nature. We must first examine our own hearts, for the Lord commands, "Let each of you speak truth with his neighbor" (Ephesians 4:25). If there has been any deception in our own lives, we repent and ask for the Holy Spirit’s help to walk in integrity.

We also lift up the landlord’s team, lawyers, and legal representatives who have engaged in dishonesty. While it is difficult to extend grace to those who have wronged us, we are called to pray for them, for "bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you" (Luke 6:28). Their actions reveal a hardened heart, and we ask the Lord to soften it. May He convict them of their sin and lead them to repentance, for "the Lord does not delay His promise, as some count delay, but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9).

We declare that the truth will prevail, for "you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free" (John 8:32). We ask the Lord to expose every lie and bring justice in His perfect timing. May these individuals see the destruction their dishonesty brings, not only to others but to their own souls, and turn from their wicked ways.

Father, we surrender this situation into Your hands. Strengthen us to walk in patience and kindness, even when wronged, for "love suffers long and is kind" (1 Corinthians 13:4). Guard our hearts from bitterness, and help us to trust in Your justice. We dedicate our lives to You, asking that Your will be done in this matter. May Your name be glorified, and may Your truth triumph.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We’re moved by the generous spirit in your prayer, while facing real hardship, you’re still choosing to extend the same patience and kindness that was first shown to you. That’s not easy, especially when dishonesty has serious consequences, and we thank God for the grace you’re walking in.

One of the quietest, most powerful ways to keep that grace alive is to continue praying for the landlord's team and legal representatives by name if you know them, not just asking God to change their behavior but genuinely desiring their good, that they would come to know the freedom and security that comes from living in truth. When we pray like that, even when our own emotions haven’t fully caught up, it helps loosen the grip of any resentment and anchors our hearts in the kind of forgiving love God has shown us.

As you continue to surrender your will and the outcomes to the Lord, remember that forgiveness doesn’t demand you pretend the wrong didn’t happen or stop seeking justice through proper channels. It simply frees you from carrying the weight of the other person’s debts. We’ll join you in praying that their resistance to honesty is rebuilt, and that you both experience the relief of being fully forgiven and walking in the light.

Lord Jesus, thank you that you are the truth that sets us free. We lift up our friend who is standing firm in grace while dealing with dishonesty. Please forgive every way they have fallen short and grant them a clean heart. For the team and lawyers on the other side, we ask that you gently dismantle every wall of dishonesty and give them a genuine love for what is right. Protect our friend from discouragement and help them keep their eyes on you, the one who judges justly. In your name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Dishonesty is indeed a grievous crime, for it is a direct assault upon Him who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. You have done well to bring this before the throne, confessing your own slips and pleading for those who have entangled themselves in a web of lies. The tears that fall for sin, whether your own misrepresentations or theirs, are not wasted; they are caught in the Lord’s bottle, and the day comes when He shall wipe them all away. But oh, let that sorrow work a deeper repentance, and let it drive you to the blood that cleanses from all sin, for there is no other fountain.

Yet you also pray that their resistance to dishonesty may be built up. Take care how you think of this. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps; by nature, the heart is a factory of falsehood, and all the resistance in the world will not avail unless the Spirit of Truth Himself takes possession. Christ is Truth, and Satan is falsehood, there is no peace between them. The only true resistance is a new birth, a new heart that loves truth because it loves the God of truth. Therefore, let your faith lay hold of Christ’s power for this very case. Do not let an “if” linger in your mind. “If Thou canst do anything” is a poor, dishonoring plea. The question is not what He can do, but what He wills. And has He not shown His will by giving His Son to die for sinners, even liars and cheats? In that precious blood there is more than sufficient reason for your faith. He who subdued the demoniac of Gadara can still cast out the lying spirit and make a man sit clothed and in his right mind.

Continue, then, to set the truth before them, even as Boaz commanded his reapers to drop handfuls on purpose for Ruth. Do not stand aloof and scold; rather, let your own life be such a shining witness of honesty that they see the beauty of the truth you profess. Remember, you are in the battle of life, and there is no truce until the laurel is upon the brow. You must wrestle not only for your own integrity but for the souls of those who oppose you. Put the truth in their way, speak it in love, and above all, pray it down from heaven.

Buy the truth yourself at any cost, and do not pick and choose in it. Let it rule your heart, your tongue, your dealings. Then trust the Lord to do the same for them. He can overcome their resistance, for His eyes are like doves’ eyes, and they have a strange power to conquer. When He looks upon a rebel with love, the rebel often weeps, “What have I to do with idols any more?” So may it be with these. Truth will set them free, and when they see Jesus, who is Truth incarnate, they shall be free indeed. Go on praying, and let your surrender be as complete as Ruth’s when she left Moab for Bethlehem, saying, “Your God shall be my God.” He will not fail you.

[Chrysostom]

You pray for forgiveness for lies and for those who have wronged you to turn to honesty. This is well, but do not imagine that words alone suffice. Dishonesty is no small thing. The one who lies for gain, whether money or any advantage, does not merely stumble but plunges into madness, and when hell is added to the loss of the kingdom, what wailing awaits! For truth is the very air the soul breathes, and an honest heart receives it as a clear eye receives the sun. If the light does not enter, the fault lies not in the light but in the eye’s infirmity. So when lies take root, resistance to honesty is broken down piece by piece, and a soul becomes a house divided, easy prey for every crime. You ask that God build up their resistance again. This is a good prayer, yet know that resistance is built not by miracle alone but by the practice of repentance and the terror of judgment.

I rejoice that you have come to sorrow over your own lies. Godly sorrow produces a repentance that brings no regret, leading to salvation. But let that sorrow not be a passing cloud. The Church is a spiritual bath that washes away not the filth of the body but the stains of the soul. Yet do not treat it lightly, as if there were many baptisms. There is one laver; you cannot be renewed again by it if you fall back willfully. What then? Is repentance shut out? By no means! But the renewing by that bath is once for all. Repent remains, and it is powerful, but it demands continual tears, amendment, and a heart that trembles at the thought of crucifying Christ afresh. Do not postpone this work, for without it, even your prayer for enemies becomes hollow.

As for the landlord and his lawyers, you have shown patience, and this is a grace. But do not flatter yourself that their lies are merely an offense against you. They offend the God of truth, who will not be mocked. Pray, yes, that truth set them free, but freedom comes only when they love truth more than gain. The hope laid up for you is not in winning this earthly dispute but in the noble reception in heaven, where no lie enters. Therefore, while you pray for them, examine yourself first: have you surrendered your will entirely, or is there still a pretense that Christ be proclaimed in your life, whether in sincerity or not? Let your own house be swept clean with honest confession, and then bear witness to the truth with your life. For affliction is no enemy if it brings repentance; it can become an occasion of gladness. So endure, pray, and above all, practice the truth you ask for others.
