Ezekiel 2:7 You shall speak My words to them whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious.
What is the duty of the messenger of truth?.....Shall he conclude that the truth ought not to be presented, since often its only effect is to arouse me to evade or resist its claims? Yes or no?
What are some thoughts on this?
We can give directions to salvation, we can tell others that something is wrong with what they say or do, but they will only feel convicted, and ask you where your authority is to do such a thing!!!
If you are telling them the truth, that they did not want to hear, they could attack you...
Your sanity will be questioned, and you will annoy them etc... they may threaten to disown you, or avoid you if you stop.
But you no longer care about pleasing men, and realise that the truth must be told even if it is not welcomed.
You must remember others right to freewill, often you will know when to back off.......
But you will still continue witnessing, because even if only one out of a million listens, you have done something, and not lost your saltiness
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
If the most High is for you, who can be against you?
Boast of the Almighty Yahweh, glory to the most loving, most merciful God Yahweh, who sent Yeshua our Saviour to redeem us through his blood.
Yeshua son of Almighty Yahweh our God, how blessed we are to be loved by them.
