“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof”
Proverbs 18:21
The officer now asks you to imagine what would happen if Jesus came back today and asked you what you did with the life He died for?
Do you consider the dishonor it would do to the Holy One to hear you admit that you have been killing his children for a long time but only got caught a few times?
There is death and life in the power of the tongue. Friend, why not choose life?
Why not intercede a lie with God’s truth on behalf of others?
I mean imagine what seeds that alone could sow in your field of life. Imagine the blessings that would follow when God readily fulfills his promises to you because you adhere to his Word wholly and in truth.
You know, one of the most powerful social media platforms in the world right now is Facebook. Facebook is worth $1.5B dollars! Did you know that your attention to a platform is worth that much? Did you know that the flames you fan in terms of an opinion or support to a situation or idea via Facebook is worth a billion dollars?!
Can you imagine using that influence that we all have to perpetuate hate and evil, to rather encourage forgiveness, love, and righteousness?
I am not saying that standing on some public forum and proclaiming God’s love is the only way to go. Nevertheless, our little acts of forgiveness, encouragement, and interceding with prayer, are all ways that can stand in place with the Messiah’s truth and defend it to those who do not see, hear, and feel Him on the realm we do.
Let’s not forget that it wasn’t for grace…
Yes. It can be hard to be the voice of descent in a world that often appears to be going in one direction – chaos and indifference, for it often seems that a lack of humanity and compassion has become the norm.
But could it be that the enemy is only making it appear to be so?
Why not make the devil out to be a liar and stand by God’s truth no matter the opposition? God’s truth already won. What do you have to lose by defending that truth?! Friend, victory is already ours.
A now remorseful and wiser you, stares apologetically at the officer of Law as he proceeds to let you know the options you have for the crimes committed.
