Has the Christ, the Pearl of great price, that you discovered caused you to be shunned?
Are you subtly rejected by the Christian crowd?
Do you not quite fit in, like an awkward puzzle piece and its painfully puzzling?
Has your sold out surrender to Jesus been the greatest thing in your life yet quite discouraging because of being despised and alone?
When other 'holy ' saints tell off color jokes, does your skin crawl?
When they are praising another crap filled Hellywood movie, do you become nauseous?
When leaders are lining their pockets with the money of the widows and poor, are you sick at heart?
When leaders are living high on the hog and the poor can barely afford bacon, does this depress you?
Are you afraid to speak forth on these matters for you are intimidated to silence, you dont want to get bashed like on this forum or in the local 'church'?
Have you asked yourself over and over 'what's wrong with me, what's wrong with me'?
Well guess what....nothing wrong with you. Something wrong with them. We are living in the days of the Laodecian and Sardis 'church'! Babylon dances with relish!
This is due to shallow surrenders and the 'lovers of selves' spirit. The exaltation of man and the dethroning of Christ in the assembly.
Instead of taking on the humble reproach of Christ, they take on the glory of arrogance. Instead of being servants washing feet, they place others under their feet.
So you are indeed a misfit puzzle piece, but it's really not so puzzling after all. The NT is loaded with tons of scripture speaking on this very thing.
Jesus said the goats and sheep will one day be separated. The spiritual separation is all ready fixed and you, my dear friend,cannot undo it. It is of God. He separates the true sheep unto Himself in jealousy and great care and concern. You are His witness, as the alone prophet of old. You stand out like a sore thumb without uttering nary a word. It is by His design and workings that 'they separate you from their company lest you affect them'!
Darkness cannot stand the true light! So if you are of a broken spirit and a contrite heart before your Savior, they'll hate you and despise you. They may never say it, but their cold actions speak loud and clear.
So take heart my kind and gentle friend. There is a true fellowship in His sufferings. There is a remnant that cries out in the land. You are not alone. There are many who refuse to bow the knee to Baal/satan!
And for those of you who don't get a lick of this, you are the problem! Repent while there is still opportunity!
