"Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends;"
Luke 21:14-16
I have come to the understanding that the previous verses are a part of my life now as I choose to follow the Holy Spirit. "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)
This dividing of the soul and spirit will, and has, driven many people away. For it is a hard thing to be faced with the mirror of ourselves; the word of God. Many will flee from the light; for being exposed is not comfortable.
I hold no great bitterness at this prospect; only compassion. Because I choose to seek a close relationship with Jesus, I am set apart; as is anyone who diligently seeks after Him.
I can no longer rest in the promise of heaven alone. I must pursue the release of God's kingdom here on this earth so that others may come to know our Lord and Savior.
