The Seeds Of Discord

 

Those whose feet are bound to the shoes of peace are not to walk as do the heathen, who are easily provoked and drawn into pointless arguments.

 

Then any who say, “I follow Christ”, should refrain from this behavior, whether it be a face-to-face confrontation or stirring up dissension through the means of social media platforms. For a contentious remark or sharp retort does not promote the love of Christ, to which each of My own was called to exemplify.

 

Yet because, in today’s culture, it is common to voice one’s opinion for all to hear, even when the stated sentiment is knowingly provocative, the launching of a verbal jab at those thought to be opponents has been normalized, even among My children: those who are no longer to pattern themselves after this world. And since this trend has been embraced by many believers, these brethren, instead of proclaiming the gospel of peace, have in mind to set others straight about where to stand on current societal and political issues. Though some may throw in a Scriptural reference or two to support their position, still the underlying motivation is pride, as the real intention is to prove that what they believe is right.

 

So then, this preoccupation with being “heard” must cease, as this is a fleshly compulsion that has yet to be crucified by the power of the Cross, where the “old nature” is exchanged for the “new” found in Christ. However, to be freed from this sinful habit will involve ‘denial’, where its pull is instead answered with self-control, which will thereby deny the working of the flesh. Yet this internal battle shall not be won overnight, but victory will be awarded to those who persevere and are determined to overcome.

 

Then know that continuing to engage in silly arguments is futile, and only serves to bolster your flesh. For how many, if any at all, are won over by your vain ramblings or petty diatribes? Then recognize that each rebuff you received was unnecessary, yet is expected when someone chooses to sow the seeds of discord into the lives of others.

 

Then, to those of you who have knowingly offended, quickly make amends by offering the branch of peace so that you once again dwell in a more harmonious state with strangers and neighbors alike.

 

Remember, dear ones, you are ambassadors of My Kingdom, those who represent to this world what it means to be a child of the Living God. Therefore preach the Good News to anyone who will listen, but let it come from a heart filled with love and compassion, one that longs to see the souls of others resting in My perfect peace. For then they, too, will have traveled the joyous road to salvation.

 

“Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. And the Lord\’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.” -2 Timothy 2:23-26

Severe All Ties!

Then to those who claim to be My own, and yet are still tethered to the LGBTQ+ ideology do I say, “Severe all ties! For that perverse ideology runs contrary to the standards of holiness I have established for My Kingdom. Then do not confuse the tolerance of perversity as an act of Christ-like love, for My Son never compromised with evil, but always challenged those He encountered to turn away from their sin and, instead, follow Him wholeheartedly, where their entire life did they surrender to Him.”

You Have Indeed Been Called To Fish!

Therefore do I say to this generation of believers, “Get up out of your seats, and gather your nets, for the fish are biting and you too have been called to fish, for the Great Commission applies to all of My children. So then don’t think yourself unqualified to fish or that the task of fishing belongs to another, for that is simply not true.” Thus do I say, “Stop making excuses as to why you aren’t able to fish. Instead, get up out of your seats and gather your nets.” For I say to you now, “You have indeed been called to fish!”

The Admonition Of The Lord, Who Will Receive It?

The admonition of the Lord, who will receive it? Who will take to heart My words of correction and then amend their ways? Very few, it would appear! Even still do I make My Will known so that none can claim to be ignorant of it. Sadly then are My words of admonition often treated as false or even called demonic by those who refuse to change their ways.

An Abrupt End!

An abrupt end; Marked by failure; Thus shall Trump’s last term in office be remembered. For though he promised much, little of those promises did he actually fulfill regardless of what he claims. Misleading, his words; Deliberately so; For surely did he say one thing while meaning another. Yet did the American people take him at his word, for they thought him to have their best interests at heart.
