I believe everything started with us humans as infants, where the first facial change came with our first introduction to pain that caused the facial change – and most of us know that it wasn’t beautiful.  All newborn babies deal with making the ugly face, and the first quote that comes from most fathers in the world is, “that child is ugly” quietly to themselves. But that’s not what the mothers say. Even to this day as teens and adults we make some of the same faces from when we were kids. But even today there are 6 main faces that have never changed, and those faces are:

1. Happiness
2. Anger
3. Deceit
4. Love
5. Lying
6. Sadness

Those faces are an inward emotion with an outward display. So, our outward expression reveals to others our excitement or our disdain concerning an issue. The Lord Yeshua looks down on his creation in Psalm 33:13-15:          

¹³  “The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. ¹⁴ From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. ¹⁵ He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.”

And in John 4:23-24:

²³ But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. ²⁴ God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

Even when we communicate with each other, we really can’t hide our mental motive from Yeshua, and we can’t conceal the intent from Yeshua. Now, as we live a life after being baptized in Yeshua’s name, we have to be mindful that we can live no more a worldly form of Christendom, where you put on the outward appearance but there’s no true commitment.

The Bible reads in 2 Timothy 3:1-9:           

 ¹“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. ² For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, ³ Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, ⁴ Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; ⁵ Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. ⁶ For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ⁷ Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. ⁸ Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. ⁹ But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their’s also was.”

We all who are calling ourselves true Christians have to put away all of the fake worldly Christendom, and denounce it before Yeshua in order to become a true child of God.

In my conclusion, change from the worldly Christians to the real Christians, and seek Yeshua while he may be found. Let this world go and it will be the best thing you will ever have done in your life.

And it is so!
