I know a lot of my issue is, is my pride. I cannot stand my pride and wish it would totally disappear. Am I the only one who struggles with their pride in issues like this?
ask the father to reveal through HIS WORD, how many times yahshua or anyone he sent went and spoke
to someone, and they were and are to speak only what he gives to speak without any concern nor even a thought
about what the response will be (as far as delivering the MESSAGE / HIS WORD directly, accurately, simply).
when we (i, me, myself, et al) think of how others will feel or what they will think, that is a trap - a deception to
try
to get us to "please" others instead of pleasing GOD HIMSELF.
when we speak boldly and simply what GOD'S WORD says to speak/ alive, living, abiding in him speaking what he speaks daily,
others will often misinterpret us, accost us, jail us, beat us, and put us to death, as well as shame us or try to silence us;
and GOD simply says "whatever I speak, you speak" "whatever I do, you do", without any thought of self,....
without any thought of what others will say or think or what they might do to us.
i.e. GOD and HIS messengers, his vessels, are not "socially correct", not "polite" , not "politically correct"
and in
so many ways NOT what all of society and its schools and its churches and it religions say to be....
unique in all the world (GOD DWELLS WITH MEN).
finally for now -- the PEACE of YAHSHUA HAMASHIACH will (GOD'S PROMISE! HIS WORD) keep our hearts and minds safe and secure and guarded in HIM and by HIS WORKING IN US ---
"let the peace of CHRIST RULE (guide direct and keep your actions and thoughts) in your hearts and lives" as it IS WRITTEN.
