One of the best ways to lose friends and be rejected, is to walk according to the will of God. Be serious about spiritual matters, leaving all your idols, become the Lord with all your heart, take your eyes off the things of the world ... And suddenly you have become a religious fanatic and you stand before the ultimate rejection by the rest of your life!
When you were warm, having a form of godliness without power, when you were too sinful or too holy ... You had no problems with anybody, not even with the devil. Things were quiet, were accepted. You were just another of the many believers indifferent.
"Her priests have violated My law and have profaned mine holy among the holy and the profane did not dispute or distinguish between the unclean and clean" Ezekiel 22:26 to But you have changed. You were hungry for God. You became of your sins and could not participate and most of the games of the church. I repented and you turned to the Lord with all my heart. Idols collapsed. You start searching the Word of God. You stopped going after material things and came to be obsessed with Jesus. You came into a new realm of insight and began to see things in the church, which before you not interested. Hear things from the pulpit that break your heart. See other congregants committed to the world, just as you were once. That hurts. You have been awakened, changed, broken and contrite in spirit. And you're now a burden for the church given by God.
But instead of your friends rejoice or understand, they think you're going crazy, calling fanatic.
"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he can not understand, because they are spiritually discerned." 1st Corinthians 2:14 madness = (Gr died) foolishness, folly, folly, nonsense, nonsense Moses was played beautifully by the hand of God and raised on the slavery of the people of God " He came into his heart to visit his brothers, but he thought that his brothers understood that God would give them their freedom by hand, but they had not understood well .. (See Acts 7:23-25 \u200b\u200b
) Moses was a meek man of the world was consumed by God and by Him He moved prophetically that his brothers wanted to hear and see what God would do. Instead, they rejected, saying, "Who made you ruler and judge over us? (See Acts 7:27
) Who you think you are? One day would include, but not now.
When the Holy Spirit woke me years ago when I began to see their call to holiness, and really convinced me to walk in truth and the word came to be alive, and when I began to see things never seen before, I wanted to share with everyone. I wanted and I called the preachers on the phone and shared what God was saying. With many who came to my office, I cried and got out my Bible and I noted the glorious truths of a total surrender and purity of heart. I thought they would see it too. I thought I would love the Word and would drop me to pray for a new touch of God. Instead, most just looked at me saying things like: Are you sure that you are not breaking a little? or, "It's a little heavy for me." The more you seek God, unless I saw it. It was like ice water who threw in my face. They would not listen.
All these pastors and friends did not want to hear the word of God, Christian wanted to follow in their comfortable, turned a deaf ear to the words of Almighty God and hardened their hearts,
"Because the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have closed, lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and turn, and I should heal. " Acts 28:27 If this has been going on since God woke you up, you're not alone. I want to show and warn you according to the Word of God, which is what awaits you if you've decided to walk according to God's will. You must wait three reactions: 1. You will be rejected 2. Be cast 3. You will be stoned.
1 .- SERAS REJECTED Jesus warned:
"If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you "John 15:19 . Show me a believer who has come to love both the Word as a doer of the truth, and I'll show you one that will be rejected and persecuted by all the lukewarm church. Leave this world and they let you go. Jesus had many followers, until the word He preached was received "too hard, too demanding. The crowd loved his miracles and heard their statements left him, saying: Too hard! Who can receive? Jesus turned to the twelve and asked,
"Are you perhaps you also go away?" or, "my word is too hard for you too? Peter answered,
"Whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. " John 6:67-68 No, Peter and the twelve would not go because most people said it was too hard, too demanding, because he loved her producing them eternal values. They remain in the truth, no matter the price.
This is the situation that every Christian must face in recent times: Are you going to remove the word makes you, really points out your sin really remove, edit, and ruins your idols? Is not calling you to take your eyes off the things of this world, yourself and materialism? Or are you going to set aside to hear a soft tingle, peaceful of the unadulterated truth? Will you allow the Holy Spirit try? Do you expose?
The truth sets you free: free to preach dead, dead pastors free, free from traditions dead, free from doctrines of demons free partnerships that will deviate from the truth because it is "too embarrassing", as they call them. Truth makers want to come to the light, let each made no secret is revealed, Jesus said:
"Everyone who does evil hates the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, it is apparent that his works are done in God. " John 3:20-21 .
That which is truly genuine, reveals every secret thing. When Jesus began to expose the hidden sins, religious Jews sought to kill him. Jesus said:
"I know that you are descendants of Abraham, but seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. But now ye seek to kill me, man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham. Which is of God hears God's words, therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God "John 8:37,40,47 .
The Word of God says:
"And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceit of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they received not the love of the truth to be saved. For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they believe the lie, so that all may be condemned who believed not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. " 2nd. Thessalonians 2:8-12. There are many Christians today who do not love the truth. God says this is because of his secret sin - "They delight in their wickedness" -. These are pleasure-loving committed a horrible deception. Like the Jews of Jesus' time, are convinced they see. They believe they are children of God and fiercely reject every word revealing their deepest secrets and lusts. What they have in their hearts is something different from the truth. They are embracing the truth as a pearl of great price. Instead, pat some hidden pleasure, an idol, a favorite sin.
write it down. Those who reject you and leave because of the truth, do so because they see you as a threat to what they believe. Your life away is a rebuke to his acting and warmth.
Paul wrote to Timothy:
"I left all those in Asia" (See
2nd. Timothy 1:15). Paul had delivered the whole to the same people, declaring the whole counsel of God. He was blameless before them holy and blameless. Was rejected by the churches of Asia and their own spiritual children avoided him. Why?
Paul was now in prison. Was suffering. I was in deep distress; bound by chains:
"A prisoner of the Lord" . But a new teacher had become very popular, a teacher who brought a message of prosperity whispering.
"Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his deeds" 2nd. Timothy 4:14
Alejandro name means "man of pleasure." Alexander and Hymen were teaching a false gospel that provided for meat.
Hymen was named after "the god of marriage." This is a gospel of love, of celebration, of human pleasures, without holiness. Paul gave them over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh to learn not to blaspheme (See
1st. Timothy 1:20) The was handed over to Satan for the destruction of their bodies, but the carnal doctrine. It was a learning experience, to learn not to blaspheme: How could learn if they were dead? These doctrines deny all suffering any penalty. Paul said
they spotted the truth of faith, excusing sin, had no pure consciousness. Changed the true faith by the teachings of pleasures. Paul rejected because they were unwilling to endure hardship. Their afflictions they saw as a lack of faith. For them it was the devil who was a prisoner. If Paul is so holy, if he preaches that God is Almighty, why this suffering? They were ashamed of their chains. And today there are Christians who reject you, be ashamed of you, to find yourself in some sort of trial or tribulation or disease.
2 .- I'll miss you Jesus warned:
"I out of the synagogues, and the time is coming when whoever kills you will think that he doeth God service "John 16:2 . Jesus said these things I say, not to be sad ... do not be surprised when the throw warm churches:
"Why do not known the Father or me" John 16:3 
Jesus healed a man born blind. It was brought to the church for questioning by the religious Pharisees. His eyes were open, I could see! And he said
"One thing I know, that I was blind, now I see" John 9:25 . Did they rejoiced because this man had his sight? No!
"They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sin, And teach us? And they cast him out "John 9:34
This blind man is the holy remnant, those whose eyes have been opened to God's holiness. Go ahead; testify as he did before he was blind and now I see! They will cast them saying "Who has become our master? If you intend to walk according to the will of Christ, be prepared to bear their shame!
"Because for thy sake I have suffered shame, confusion has covered my face. Strange I've been to my brothers, and unknown to the sons of my mother (my brothers and sisters). Because I ate the zeal of thine house, and the reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me "Psalm 69:7-9 . This speaks primarily of the sufferings of Christ But as he was in this world, so are we! If they persecuted and reviled, will do the same with those who killed themselves. Who reviled Christ? Who heaped shame on his head and threw his name as a filth? The crowd of man-centered church! Browse
holy believers, is The biggest favor the man-centered church, could give them! I hear Christians say: My church is dead I do not like what is happening, but God put me here! Remain and try to change things. This can be dangerous and unbiblical. We must leave everything that is in Babylon Also, may be the tradition that's stopping you. It might not be ready to walk according to God's will as you thought. Your old friends will stop.
Paul entered the synagogue on each party that went, "as usual" (The practice) (see
Acts 17:2). He preached to those blind devotees of Isaiah, saying:
"Because I work a work in your days work not believe it, if someone unto you" Acts 13:41. He tried to persuade strong waiting to hear. But eventually Paul heard the prophecy of Isaiah hit him: There is no way they create, but remain with them and I declare! Pay attention to this warning: Do what Paul did and retire! He "against them shaking the dust of his feet" (see Acts 13:51
). Paul said to these religious Jews: "It was necessary that I speak first word of God, but since you reject it ... lo, we turn to the Gentiles (see Acts 13:46
).
If you're in a community or church that has heard the truth, which he rejected: Let! Jump Or your kids can fall away! Forget to say is that my children have friends here! Yes, and they can all believe without conviction of sin, lack of power or the presence of God. You're not going to change anything - in any form! - However, they do can change you. What fellowship has light with darkness? Come out of them to stay separate and clean-THEN YOU WILL RECEIVE. "
3 .- SERAS Stoned! 'll be stoned by the majority!
"And they stoned Stephen, he prayed, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit" Acts 7:59 . There was one man against the crowd!
Here is a man "with his eyes fixed on Jesus" Being hated by his opponents. Listen to the hatred of these men with garments of religious fanatic:
"and cracked their teeth against him. Stopped their ears, and ran at him with " Facts 7:54,57. What did this man just did to infuriate the religious crowd? He preached the truth that broke my heart:
"stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you. You who received the law ... and have not kept " (see Acts 7:51,53
). He had to preach the truth! They had their heart is still tied to the world, bound by their greed. They knew what was the law of God, but refused to obey. They crucified Christ.
The two-edged sword of truth had started deep in their hearts. But it was his testimony, he saw heaven opened, attracting the wrath on him.
"But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked at the sky and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at God's right hand and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man on the right hand of God. Then they, with loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with. And cast him out of the city, and stoned "Acts 7:55-58 . Esteban
brought to light the mixture, the divided heart!:
"Then made a calf, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and the works of his hands were glad. And God turned, and gave them to worship the host of heaven, as written in the book of the prophets: Did I sacrifice for sacrifices in the wilderness for forty years, O house of Israel? Rather took up the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship. I will carry, therefore, beyond Babylon " Acts 7:41-43. In this age of grace, if you look at a woman with lust, you've committed adultery in the eyes of God. If you hate, you are a murderer. And if words ruines are released to you by walking according to the will of God, you are being stoned!
"fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth of a beating ... The words of gossip are like choice morsels, and penetrate into the bowels "Proverbs 18:6,8 . "To sharpen his tongue like a sword, which released his arrow, bitter words" Psalm 64:3 . Jesus taught a parable of the farmer who owned a vineyard and sent by the fruits of the harvest time. He sent his servants.
"And the husbandmen took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another" Matthew 21:35 . That's today! God sent his holy watchmen to reap the fruits of his vineyard. But instead, there are verbal beatings, hate kills, pelted with hurtful words. Today we have a "company of Stephen" who can say, I've seen the open sky! This is a clear vision of Jesus-that sharp word of truth, which incurs the wrath of those uncircumcised in heart! -
The Israelis tried to learn to Joshua and Caleb for his call to walk according to God's will. Ten spies discouraged the people of God, saying: We can not go. There are too huge! Too high walls!
"And Caleb said ... then go up and take possession of it, for we are well able they " (see Numbers 13:30
). But they said
"a captain, and return to Egypt" (see Numbers 14:4
)
"Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh were those who had spied out the land, rent their clothes, and spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed to it, is an exceeding good land. If the Lord delight in us, He will bring us to this land and give it to us land flowing with milk and honey. Therefore, do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of this land, because we are bread, their defense is departed from them, and Lord is with us, not fear them. But all the congregation bade stone. But the glory of the Lord appeared in the tent of meeting all the children of Israel " Números14: 6-10
My interest in this story is not for Joshua and Caleb, but by God, who was with them. My interest is for the people of God who were gnashing their teeth and picking up rocks! Why a call to obedience caused them such a reaction? See the call! I am convinced that once the heart is captured by an idol or greed, possession disbelief. The indifference and unbelief go hand in hand. For this reason, all preaching against sin to be indifferent to the grind and end up fighting against God, while blindly are confessing his name.
ADVISORY How should I react to a fair when rejected, wasted, stoned? Jesus responded, like a lamb "and did not open his mouth." Do not ask to come down fire from heaven on those who abuse you.
"Why why do ye not rather take wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? " 1st. Corinthians 6:7 "We
reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure" 1st. Corinthians 4:12 "Pray for those who ruthlessly aggravate you."
I have no time for arrogant, self-called prophets who fight, threaten or cast curses. When Shimei stood on a hill throwing stones at David while he was pulling out of Jerusalem and of Absalom, the army captain said
"Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? " David said:" Let him who curses ... Perhaps the Lord will look upon my affliction and the Lord will give me good for his cursing this day " (see the 2nd
Samuel 16:9,11,12).
Moses went to the morning, shut in with God -
"His face shone." And even if everyone else could see it, so he had to wear a veil over his face, he was "not aware that his face shone." Was not yet realized that the reflection of the holiness of God was upon him. Like Stephen, Moses did not hold the touch of God. They do not were given the air of a prophet. No threatened, not to speak of having
"new" or "special" revelations. Do not put a mask or false piety said. Humility is the sign of a soul totally dependent on Christ. In this there is absolutely no spiritual pride or exclusiveness.
THE REWARD OF WALKING ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD What is the reward? Having Christ with you! There are many other rewards by walking according to God's will, but I mention only because it is all we need. Paul was imprisoned in a fortress in Jerusalem while the whole religious system sought to kill him. The church was shocked. He was accused of
"desecrate the holy place, to preach a false doctrine." Even the soldiers "feared that Paul was shattered" so I grabbed him from among them and seized him in a castle.
"The next night was presented with the Lord and said: Take courage, Paul, for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must bear witness also at Rome" Acts 23:11 The Lord Himself spoke to Paul - not an angel! - And the word: Animate! THERE'S MORE TO COME! But you can face any circumstance or to any person if you know that:
THE LORD IS WITH YOU! God Bless
People used to think 'be better' is about a world of difference between past and present. Much money in the bank, many friends enviable health, family relationships 'no problems', stable job, etc, etc, etc.
