Isaiah 58:1 "Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion and to the descendants of Jacob their sins.
WHOSE BABY IS IT?
We must be mindful of whose advice we follow. Nowhere in the Bible are we instructed to mock, mistreat, or disrespect our neighbor to get a blessing. Yet, the devil will have you cursing your neighbor out, turning your backs on your own, including those who are counted among "the least of these," tormenting the innocent, and literally going in circles – round and round you go, in exchange for “so called blessings" as long as you fall down and worship them, doing the rituals that they instruct, i.e. "JUMP!"WHOSE BABY IS IT?
As Solomon so accurately judged, we can tell whose baby it is (who has a city's best interest at heart) by the approach they choose, and the terms they are willing to accept. Will they advise people to rely on foolish rituals, that only lead to loss and ultimate destruction of their own city? Or will they relay the instructional, life-saving message of the Gospel, as summed up Jesus’s first, post baptismal, sermon?
Matthew 4:17, “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, REPENT for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
While others may have you cursing at your neighbor, which unfortunately, only serves to curse yourselves; there is no need for those who are Christ-like to curse any man, we simply leave it in God’s hands. His will be done. Therefore, in standing on God’s Word, we pray for them. I stand on the promises of God, with “yea and amen,” especially with regard to the ministry wherein He has predestined and proven me. God calls us into ministry to save many lives through imparting the truth: The Gospel of Repentance for the Remission of sin. There are consequences for those who interfere in that life-saving calling.
Genesis 27:29 (b) Those who curse you will be cursed, those who bless you will be blessed. [MSG]
God knows the intent of every heart. Even as I eat the foods given I pray, not only that even the attempt to heep hot coals on my head, by those who are being deceived by the misinfluece and false teachings of reprobate spirits will recoil, and that firey darts be turned aways back; I also pray that those who operate in such hatred, manipulation, and disrespect of neighbor will be blessed with wisdom, understanding, and compassion. In Jesus' name. Amen.
The Good News (The Gospel) is “REPENTANCE:”
Mark 1:14-15 [AMP] Now after John was arrested and put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good news (the Gospel) of the kingdom of God, And saying, The [appointed period of] time is fulfilled (completed), and the kingdom of God is at hand; REPENT (have a change of mind which issues in regret for past sins and in change of conduct for the better) and believe (trust in, rely on, and adhere to) the good news (the Gospel).
You don’t punish a person for simply delivering the good news of repentance just because you don’t want to hear it, especially when you’ve never engaged them with Godly love: That was done to Jesus, and all of the disciples. Yet, somehow you demand a blessing, thereby cursing your own blessing even before you get it. Isaiah 47:13 (a) All the counsel you have received has only worn you out!
GOT YOU GOING IN CIRCLES
(Like the children of Israel, round and round you go)
God’s way has and will always work best.
