Election season is over. The nation voted and the results are in. We are divided and I'm not just talking about America. Matthew 12:25 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, 'Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.' Our Savior hit the nail on the head! POW! That's us. Church. That's us. We are not standing. I read and heard so MANY Christians call each other out, using the words of Christ against each other in a blame game. 'He who casts the first stone... do not judge.... etc etc' Why? It's simple. We lost the plot. We forgot. We are the sleeping giant. The bride is second guessing her choice. It's so sad. We just shluff off society and have decided to pray that God comes quickly. It doesn't have to be that way! Stop, please stop! Think of who you are talking to. Think of what you are saying. Think why are you saying it. No one likes to be told that we are broken and need to be fixed, but we are. Every human is so broken. The issues shouldn't be issues for us. We should talk to each other with respect and love. Listen to each other with respect and love. We can't name call. If someone's opinion is different we can't 'jump down their throat' and call them judgemental because indeed none of us can cast the first stone. When that case arises we need to ask why and not be offended when our own views are challenged. Maybe, just maybe, God is using that encounter to edify you. Being a Christian is about being free in Christ and trusting him, but it's also about digging up all the gunk inside of you and letting him clean you. Submitting to his will and asking for his assistence. We can't do this on our own and He desires greatly to help.
Now our society is changing rapidly. People are now calling things that are evil in the eyes of God good. Sex before marriage, drunkeness, gambling, homosexuality, greed, dissention, factions etc etc etc. There is no moral compass anymore. God was deemed a story and it's now no holds barred. If you can't see it, then ask God if it is or not, he'll tell you. If you don't think you'll recognize his voice ask him to give you ears to hear it... he will. As His voice in this darkened world we need to first and foremost go inward and allow God to clean us out. Restore the full uncompromising truth so that we can serve Him best. Next we need to get out there and start to shine really shine. People notice. Now I'm not saying get in their faces, i'm saying be an example and pray that God send you to people or people to you in order that they might be given the chance to know him. He'll guide you and your words. We have to save as many as we can. Set the captive masses free. Satan wants our fellow brothers and sisters of the human race to burn with him in hell. Christ wants his beloved children in heavan with him! Greater is He that is in us than He that is in the world! We can do it. Get into your prayer closet and let God sort you out. It will not be pleasant, but we were told that this was not going to be easy. Next get out there and start a revival. We can change people and the world. It starts small, but like the ripples in a pond it grows.
Don't be Silent!!
