Be Encouraged! (Post 22 part 1 of 2)
This is for my friends who don't partake in Christmas...
My brothers and sisters, I want to encourage you today to holdfast to what you believe. Walk in His Joy and Comfort and Peace!
It's easy to start feeling dismayed, down or alone when Christians and non-Christians alike attack you for sharing the truth of this day.
Don't forget it's a Spiritual Battle! Some Christians are understanding and just disagree with you kindly, while others get down right mean. And some will claim you must belong to some cult group or make statements such as "you're not a true Believer".
I can empathize with those that struggle with this. I know you deal with many angry family members and frustrated friends as well.
Sometimes I wonder if 'Christians' who support Christmas ever stop and ponder what The Father really thinks about it, or are they just looking to the sight of men here on earth, to be accepted by society, even in the church. As if to get men's approval. May the Father convict their hearts in His time.
If you have been convicted in your spirit to not partake in Christmas, then stand strong and be of good courage! There are many believers out there that are discovering this deception and are slowly starting to have understanding.
The most important thing is the Truth. That is what it all comes down to. Really what separates the 'Believer' from the world, is His TRUTH. The children of The Most High are supposed to be the children of the Truth.
Walking in and speaking Truth….
“Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. Psalm 25:5
"Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth." John 17:17
"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." 3 John 1:4
More wonderful verses on the Truth…
John 8:32 Psalm 86:11John 8:44-47 Zechariah 8:16John 4:23 Psalm 43:3 James 1:18 1 John 3:18 1 John 1:8
Stay true to what you believe. It's what pleases The Father, not man, that matters. Be encouraged!
Much Love to you my friends.
