These days it appears people will not ask the tough questions, point out errors, and simply watch people slide into hells firey mouth in order to, “go along to get along” to “be liked”….i learned back in 2016 forward not every one is going to like you let alone love you.
I cannot comprehend how those who bear Christ’s Holy Name can stay silent or worse yet like what others are doing that God condemns.
But I suppose my way of thinking and not caring about being accepted comes from being the midde child. The middle girl even, the one no one remembers or ever got to truly know. The one that is called by the wrong name and when I tell them my name they say, “oh I dont remember you”. 😆 😂 🤣
Of course not I was not the first born nor am I one of the twins, I was given to my Grandma to take care of at the age of 10, married at 17 not really welcomed by any aunts or uncles except Ray, Ishmael and Wally. I was what some would call a piece of the scenery, the background. When I was born again and filled with the Holy Ghost, no one ever took notice until I backslid for a season and was completely emersed in the cesspool of filth and dauchaery.
I used to be the person that would go along to get along. I would do anything to be liked and loved.
Serving God with all of my heart now has taught me, my enemies will be those of my own household. Friends are fleeting at times of trouble. Family will lie, back bite, and gossip about you to look good themselves. But throughout it all Jesus Christ is there and will always be there, He will never leave nor forsake me. So when He prompts me to speak, ask an awkward question, point out error who am I to refuse? I will obey out of love. I love Him more than life, more than anyone on earth, He is my all in all.
I know what it like to be a compromiser, I know what it looks like to see someone slowly embrace sin as their heart is turning away from God. I know because I did it.
Once I was given a dream, in my dream I was standing watching tv that was sitting on my, then husband’s safe. As I was standing there watching tv my eyes began to grow dimmer and dimmer until I could not longer see. At the time of this dream I had been preaching for a long time, I was the youth pastor and I preached at 2 other churches besides my home church. My husband started watching “reality shows” this was a new thing back then and I got caught up in it. I began to look forward to Wednesday nights just to watch it. It was full of adultery, drinking, fornication, back biting, complaining, practically it was hedonistic and I became addicted to it. God was warning me in that dream the longer I watched the more blind to truth and righteousness I was becoming.
I will never forget that time in my life and I remember it still as a warning to me. Everything they were doing on the tv I began to do in my life. You are what you eat they say, you become what you feed the most…your flesh with the lusts or your spirit with the faith.
What are you feeding? What are you compromising?
