We are accountable for every word we speak, and every word we don't speak

[ZNP]

I have to b honest , I'm not very good at talking to non believers about my faith . By nature , I'm a deeply private person , only happy to give out information about myself when I feel like it and that's not very often . I'm quite open on here because , it's not in person , it's just in text . I'm also a person who has very deep emotions , which I hate to share and , my faith is a very emotional subject to me .
I can't preach to some one , anyone , without becoming emotional and I hate becoming emotional in front of other people , all except my husband . I wish I could b cool and calm and remember the exact Bible verse I need etc when I talk to people about the Truth , but I can't . When I have tried to talk about it , I feel as if I'm exposing my very soul to a complete stranger and it just overwhelms me emotionally .
My usual response , if and when some one asks me about my faith is , to offer to help them read through the Bible , that's where I point people , to the Bible , probably because that's where I started on my journey . I never asked a person about their faith or about God or Jesus , I just went straight to the Bible . I don't trust anyone's word for anything , but I trust the Bible because that's God's Word . Maybe that's why I'm no good talking about it , me and my faith . I can talk about the Bible but not what my faith means to me or , how and why I believe , nothing like that . It's just so deeply personal to me that I find it extremely difficult to articulate without becoming emotional and , I hate people seeing me b emotional .
So , if u want to talk about the Bible , I'm happy for that but if u want to know about my faith on a personal level , I just find it to b very personal and too emotional to b able to articulate in any way that would b at all helpful to anyone else .

I remember when I first tried to share my testimony the elders called me into a private conference after the meeting and were concerned about me because no one understood a word I had said and I am not referring to my pronunciation. The way I look at it, we speak from the abundance of our heart and if you haven't ever spoken before it is reasonable to expect the first things coming out of your mouth is the mud and other stuff in the pipes. But the more you speak the more it is like the water flowing through those pipes cleans it out.

However, I have never regretted focusing on my faith being experiential, rather than theoretical.

I know a brother and have known several brothers like this before, they speak to people about the Lord every single day. I find that hard to do, not my personality. But I do post every single day on the internet. Also I am a Gideon and once a month I go out with two or three other brothers and speak the gospel to about 500 people and distribute New Testaments. It is a lot easier to talk to someone when you are offering them a free New Testament. Jesus said His burden is light and His yoke is easy, I don't think he forces us to be something we aren't, rather I think because we are different we reach people in a variety of different places. It is like plants, some grow in some places and others grow in different places.

There is a brother in the Gideons camp I am in. His health has been very poor this year, hard for him to leave his house. But he calls many people every week and as a result he is one of the most fruitful members of our camp even though he is homebound. While he can call people all day long, I hate to use the telephone.

Luke 12:1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

"The meantime" is the time prior to the judgment and woes on the hypocritical rulers being carried out. The Leaven is a word used for bread, but "the leaven of the Pharisees" refers to their teaching. The word of God is the flour, and the Holy Spirit is the oil. The Pharisees add something to this word of God to make it easier to eat and that is their teaching and it is called "leaven" and Jesus says their "leaven" is "hypocrisy". For example, the Lord said He had no place to lay His head when calling others to follow Him. But Christianity has teachers that teach "the prosperity gospel" equating "blessing" to money. Then you have other verses which say that we need to be holy as He is holy, and yet some preachers preach "once saved always saved" as meaning that you can live in sin as long as many years ago you prayed to be saved.

2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

Think of the rapture event as a huge "revealing" event in which all those who are pleasant to the Lord are revealed because they are taken. The flip side of that revealing is that all those who are left behind have also been revealed that they are not pleasing to the Lord. This verse is a promise and a fact. So pray accordingly. For example, suppose there was an election and even though you have looked into it carefully you can't figure out how one candidate won. Whatever they did is "hidden" it is a mystery. OK, pray "Lord, You said there is nothing covered or hid that shall not be revealed and made known. That is Your will and I am praying that Your will would be made known. I am praying according to Your word that this "hidden mystery" would be made known. Amen."

3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

Consider Anthony Fauci, he has tens of thousands of text messages, things that were spoken in darkness. Pray that they would be heard in the light. Pray that the things that were spoken in the ear in closets will be proclaimed upon the housetops. The day of judgment is coming, prior to that day you can confess, you can repent, you can be cleansed by the blood. Being exposed, being prosecuted and convicted and going to prison is a mercy if it leads you to confessing your sins and repenting of them prior to being sent to hell.

4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

Yes, that is true for those who confess and repent their sins. But this process of the hidden things being revealed and the things spoken in secret being proclaimed on the housetop, these things will cause many to fight back. They will try to silence you. They will try to shame you, blame you, imprison you and kill you to shut you up.

5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

Think about the guy who blew the whistle on the cigarette companies. That is exactly what they tried to do to him. They want you to fear them, fear their slander of you, fear their power to take away your job and your house, etc. But the reality is that the real person you should fear is the Lord. That is the real judgement that men must fear.

6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

There was a woman who was a witness in the JFK assassination. She was afraid to testify saying "if they will kill the President do you think they will think twice about killing me?" Her point was: no one will care one bit about what happens to me, and so no one will care one bit about my testimony. That is not true of God. He knows you, He sees you, and He cares.

7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Women care a lot about the hairs of their head and yet despite how much they care and spend on their hair they haven't counted the hairs. So as much as they care about their hair, it is nothing for how much God cares. Likewise, you think you are a nobody compared to the President, but in reality if you are a whistleblower that exposes the assassins then history will judge you were of great value.

8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

Confessing the truth, blowing the whistle on assassins despite all that they can and will do to you is a testimony. You are confessing that you are more concerned with Jesus and His judgment than you are of them.

9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

Likewise, refusing to blow the whistle, deciding to keep your mouth shut, that is the same thing as denying the Lord before men. Think about it, you know the truth, you know that some key part of the "official narrative" is a lie and yet you keep silent. That is a testimony to the liar. You have denied the Lord before the men who were liars and assassins.

10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

During a trial the prosecutor has the right to try and discredit your testimony by speaking words against the witness. For example, they accused the whistleblower in the cigarette case of fraud and deceit. It wasn't clear what they were referring to but then he figured out it was about a can opener he had ordered online. It didn't work, he complained and cancelled payment. Cancelling payment on a ten dollar can opener that didn't work was the basis for them to accuse him of all kinds of evil. That will be forgiven, they are doing their job and you can respond by explaining what happened. But suppose they slander you for taking a stand for the Lord. That will not be forgiven. If you attack a man's servant for doing what his boss said to do, well then you are attacking the boss. In the same way if they reproach you for obeying the Lord Jesus, they are reproaching the Lord Jesus.

11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: 12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

Everyone will have to answer to the Lord for the things done in this life, that includes magistrates and powers.

They’re WARNING Us About New York​

This is a very simple law, we should all be aware of this, don't think this is some conspiracy theory. For example, think about those legal disclaimers you get. You buy some cheap item and next thing you know there is three pages of legalese in tiny font that you are supposed to read. No one does. But that is the same concept. If they are using your phone to spy on you and sell your data they have to tell you. If you agree then you can't sue them. This is the same concept. We have concepts like "let the buyer beware" and "if a deal is too good to be true, then it is too good to be true". We all know they do this. Think about those great deals you got on printers where the printer was essentially given to you free. Only later do you learn that the toner in the printer costs more per ounce than gold. The Bible says that the Holy Spirit is our defense attorney and that Satan is the prosecuting attorney. The term "accuser of the brethren" is a reference to Satan being a prosecuting attorney. The term paraclete means defense attorney. The spiritual realm is very much a court of law.

So I share this video because it demonstrates that not only are we accountable for every word we speak, but so is Satan, the fallen angels, the demons, the unbelievers, the rulers, the magistrates, etc.
