Friends
There are so many wolves in sheep clothing that we have to be alert and sober minded to detect. We must lay aside feelings, solidarity, and thoughts that originate from our emotions to see the “TRUTH” of anything and remain strong in our FAITH, even against those who are in the faith.
Back in September, I posted a video that showed my neighbor allowing his dog to relieve himself in my yard, not the "CURB" to intentionally cause conflict. I received an expected mix reaction from my community, but the vulgarity from women were most appalling. There were so many attacks coming in all designed to remove us from our home, but no one saw that but us. Even the people that understood my position, could not see the wicked scheme at work.
What did surprise me was a woman who stated this: "I honestly never comment on these types of post and I probably shouldn’t start now. I hope this doesn’t come across as judgmental because that’s certainly not my intent. I see that you’re a Christian. I am a Christian as well."
She had a lot of lovely things to say about the LORD and his love, kindness, mercy, and to love my neighbor. She asked that I remove the video for my sake and my neighbors and pointed out that I would not want someone to point out my bad side. But what she was missing was discernment, because had she had it, she would’ve been standing in agreement with me to fend off the attacks of the enemy.
I did not capture a bad moment, or a bad day. I captured a liar, a slanderer, and a scoundrel doing the devil’s work against me who had time to think about his actions, but came back the very next day to escalate it.
Friends,
In this season, follow the voice and instructions of the LORD in all things. Don’t let a babe or a feeble in Christ talk you out of your assignment or call, because they have not graduated to warfare.
