Are You Wearing a Costume?
Why do people wear costumes?
The costumes for Halloween roll out in stores all across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Japan and many other countries during the month of October. There are costumes for children who go trick-or-treating or to various parties. There are costumes for adults attending costume parties. Often people wear costumes at their work and many other locations.
The custom of wearing costumes around the end of October originated in pre-Christian Europe as a means to disguise oneself from those that came to visit the living from the dead. It was on the last night of October when they believed it was the easiest for the dead and living to make contact. These pagans were fearful that the dead should perhaps take vengeance on or cause mischief to the living. So they would disguise themselves to look like what they imagined the dead to look like whether with a white sheet to look like a ghost or a black costume with a white skeleton painted on it or a hooded figure with an indistinct face to look like a haint or as a corpse of some sort. Yards were also decorated to look like graveyards and the like to further fool the dead from recognizing that they were in the world of the living.
In America this soon expanded to include other dead entities like mummies along with undead figures from eastern European and North American folklore like vampires and zombies. Soon other dreaded creatures from various superstitions and myths were added like werewolves. Then monsters of modern invention like Frankenstein's Creature more commonly known simply as Frankenstein were introduced.
Before long many other costumes appeared besides those associated with death or monsters. This included costumes of many of famous historical people like Benjamin Franklin or Marie Antoinette. There were costumes of famous living people like movie stars or singers. Soon there were costumes of fictional people like Sherlock Holmes or Wonder Woman. Then there were costumes of all types of professions like firemen, cowboys, soldiers and doctors. There have even been costumes of Biblical characters like John the Baptist or Esther. Costumes have ran the gamut from devils to angels.

Of course, there are other occasions when people wear costumes. For example, when I lived in Athens the children would wear costumes frequently during a period of about six weeks before Greek Easter and then on Greek Easter many of the adults would don costumes as well. Many celebrations of Purim by Jews involve the wearing of costumes by children and adults. While many people find it fun to wear costumes for various reasons the real problem is that many people wear a costume all the time.
For them there is a costume party every weekend when they go to congregate with the Children of Truth (those who obey the Father of Truth because they love Him). They put on their Child of Truth costume so that they will fit in with the Children of Truth. They have became really good at looking and acting the part so much that many others may not realize that they are only wearing a costume when they are there.
Once they return home the party is over and the costume comes off. The act that they put on was only an act and there is no need to keep up appearances.
Just in case one of the Children of Truth should visit them they may have their home decorated with quotes from the Book of Truth (The Bible) to look like a home of the Children of Truth to fool their visitors from recognizing that they are really in a house of the dead. These masqueraders have no fear of detection because they can always quickly slip their costume back on when they need it.

The real Children of Truth do not need a costume to look like the Children of Truth anymore than a real doctor needs a costume to look like a doctor. So how can you tell if someone is really one of the Children of Truth or if they are only wearing a costume? You can tell by how they live their lives the rest of the week.
You can tell whether someone is one of the Children of Truth or is only wearing a costume by listening to what they talk about - especially at their workplace. The real Children of Truth will talk about the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) with their co-workers during their lunchtime while those only wearing a costume will talk about anything except the Man of Truth. This shows that he is not really important to them because if he was then they would talk about him (Matthew 12:34). What people talk about shows what is really in their heart (Luke 6:45).
Make no mistake when these masqueraders congregate with the Children of Truth they will talk about how much they love the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) but when they are at work you will never hear a word about Him because money is their real love (Ezekiel 33:31). Every weekend they put on a new performance of their religious play by acting out the part that was scripted for them by the religious professionals but their hearts are far from Him (Isaiah 29:13). The religious professionals that write the scripts they follow are also nothing but play actors (Matthew 15:7-9). [The Greek word "uperkritai" translated as "hypocrites" is literally an actor in a play.]
These play actors will not talk about the Man of Truth to their co-workers because they are concerned with being put out of their workplace (John 12:42). They are more concerned with pleasing their employer than pleasing the Father of Truth (John 12:43).
Those who wear a religious costume on the weekends and then stand in opposition of the Children of Truth speaking the Word of Truth to their co-workers at lunchtime are not living in the House of Truth (John 8:39-40). The Father of Lies is their father (John 8:41-44).

The real Children of Truth are those that do the will of the Father of Truth (Matthew 12:50). They obey the commission of the Man of Truth to go into their world where they work and tell their co-workers about him so that their co-workers can be saved (Mark 16:15-16).
Those whose hearts have been circumcised may not appear to be religious but they are more concerned with pleasing the Father of Truth than pleasing their employer (Romans 2:28-29).

Money is your god if you are more concerned with keeping your job than pleasing the Father of Truth (Luke 16:13). If you are opposing people talking about the Man of Truth with their co-workers during their lunchtime then you are not free and He is not your father (John 8:36-38).
If you know the Father of Truth then you were sent into your job to speak His Word so that your co-workers could be saved (Romans 10:13-15). If you would rather have your co-workers perish than risk being fired then the love of the Father of Truth is not in you (1 John 5:1-3). You are wearing a costume.
If you are wearing a costume then the Man of Truth will vomit you out because you are worse than those that never claimed to belong to His Father (Revelation 3:15-16). If you are wearing a costume then he is warning you to come out of your materialistic dreamworld and start living for him every place you go including your workplace because he loves you (Revelation 3:17-19).
If you will not talk about belonging to the Man of Truth to your co-workers during your lunchtime then the Man of Truth will not talk about you belonging to him to His Father on judgment day (Matthew 10:33). If you continue in wearing a costume then you will have been lying about loving him and all liars will have their place in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 21:8).

You might be afraid to bring up the Man of Truth to your co-workers because you could get fired. You might want someone else to tell your co-workers about the Man of Truth because you know that you will be fired if you say anything (John 9:20-23). The truth is that some people will get fired for talking about the Man of Truth to their co-workers during their lunchtime even though the company will probably not say that this is the reason they were fired (John 16:1-3). All that follow the Man of Truth will suffer persecution of some sort (2 Timothy 3:12).
You need to stop being afraid of people because that is a trap that will keep you in captivity all the days of your life while putting your trust in the Father of Truth will make you safe (Proverbs 29:25). It is far more sensible to fear Him who can do far worse than fire you from a job (Luke 12:4-5).
The Father of Truth will provide for your needs if you should get fired for talking to your co-workers about the Man of Truth during your lunchtime (Philippians 4:19). You may lose some things you have but nothing that you really need (1 Timothy 6:7-9). If you are willing to obey the Man of Truth in taking the Good News about him into your world then he will give you the strength to so (Philippians 4:11-13).
You do not need to worry about what to say to your co-workers because the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) will help you. The Spirit of Truth will give you the right words when you need them even if you are surrounded by those that are hostile towards the Man of Truth (Matthew 10:17-20). The Spirit of Truth will bring back to your memory the Word of Truth so that you may share it with your co-workers (John 14:26). The Spirit of Truth will give the right words so that the Man of Truth is speaking through you (John 16:13).
Are you wearing a costume?
You can only be freed from the fear of persecution by knowing the truth that comes from living in the House of Truth (John 8:30-32). It does not matter how long your family has been putting on this religious show you will not live with the Man of Truth forever unless you come into the House of Truth (John 8:33-35). You need to quit playing church and come into the House of Truth by submitting to the Man of Truth in total surrender because you really believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).
Come into the House of Truth.
