No Worries if they will not Listen!!!! Just Keep Going Anyway

Jeremiah was commanded by God to preach even though He knew they would not listen.

Noah preached 120 years when no one would listen in all those years, he continued to built the ark God commanded. Many of those people who drown in the flood after God closed the door of the ark were Noah's relatives.

We are commanded to speak truth in these last days even if no one will listen, even if they hate us and even if we do not see one convert. The time is at a close there will be few converts compared to the population of the world.

American has grown cold to the Word of God, loving its pleasure more than God.

Their Rage is on Them Alone

The sense that I am responsible to make others listen left me many years ago.

There are those who will attempt to guilt you into believing you didn't say something the right way because the response to truth was rage.

The truth is that the rage came out of a heart that is rebellious not because of any way we delivered the message.

Narcissists will accuse us of being mean no matter how we say something. Their favored tactic is to make us think we did something wrong because they raged. The truth is that we did something right in telling the truth and the rage they feel is completely on them.

Rage only happens when there is anger already in the heart. Someone who is not angry in their heart does not rage at others no matter what is said to us.

Those who rage are proving their angry heart while blaming others for their own responses.

Detached from the World Connected to Christ

I am becoming more detached from this world these days because I know I can't change anyone or anything.

I can only speak the truth and leave all the results to God while glorying in what is coming for the born again believers.

At the same time I am growing closer to authentic believers who love Christ as much as I do.

Titus 2:13
"13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;"

Hallelujah!!!

Imprecatory Psalms

Psalm 23:5-6 "5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.…"

Imprecatory Psalms,: contained within the Book of Psalms of the Hebrew Bible (תנ"ך), are those that invoke judgment, calamity, or curses, upon one's enemies or those perceived as the enemies of God. ... As a sample, Psalm 69:24 states toward God, "Pour out Your indignation on them, and let Your burning anger overtake them." Wikipedia

Imprecatory prayers are not revenge on our part, they are asking God to avenge us, there is no sin in praying this way.
Psalm 109 is another prayer of this sort.

Romans 12:18 If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.”…

We are to bless our enemies so they have nothing to hold against us, we are clean then, however we can ask God to avenge us with those who are wicked and will not stop.

It is dangerous for anyone to unjustly comes against a born again believer. God loves those who love Him and will not turn a blind eye to those who harm them. God really does have our backs.

Our first desire is for unsaved people to repent and become born again, but if they will not then we should not grieve over those who hate our God. Our grief is that they don't love Him, not in what happens to them if they refuse.

We must live in peace as much as possible doing our part, however those who hate us and Christ will not be at peace with us even if we have been at peace with them.

Christ died for the whole world, our compassion for the lost is great but never greater than our love for Christ.
