As born-again believers, we are living in a world that is asleep while we are awake and aware. It's why we become so weary at times.
The hearts of people have grown dull and lifeless in these last days, while ours is growing more full of the life of Christ. The chasm between the unsaved and us is growing wider as we walk alone.
God wants us to see and understand what others don't. God wants us to intercede for others and warn those who may not understand.
Matthew 13:12-14 "…12 Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’ 14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.…"
As we grow in Christ, our discernment will be hyper-sensitivity to the things of God and the mentalities of people. It protects us from falsehoods but will bring more trials because most people do not want wisdom; they only want the appearance of spirituality, without substance.
This is why God isolates those who follow hard after him. The wicked person wants to isolate us to control us, diminish our witness as they gossip, but God wants to isolate us to come closer to Him as we grow in wisdom without the noise of the continual blathering of foolish people who hate God and hate wisdom.
Those who isolate you do it to harm you, but God meant it for our good. God will not allow us to cling to what will hold us back from following hard after Him.
God knows who will hold you back or who will encourage you to keep chasing Christ. There are few left in this world who care about Spiritual growth; they only care about their own pleasures.
God is leading us out of the traditions we were raised with to help us grow Spiritually!!!! When our soul has awakened from illusions of religiosity to become a companion with Christ, then we are truly free and blessed!
Hallelujah!!!!
