The Sword of Truth is Heavy

I won't ever just post sweet words on here. I will tell you the Truth no matter how hard it is to hear. I will do my best to encourage you but also correct you and I sincerely pray that if I am ever out of line with my faith that you as well, will correct me and not just sugarcoat things.

Sweet words, though they can be pleasing to the Flesh are not always beneficial to the Spirit.

And my intention is to benefit your spirit. Help awaken something in you that may have kept you away from God. Shine a light on what has been hidden in the dark. Why? Because it is what God asks of me, as well as all of us. We are to be iron sharpening iron to our Christian brothers and sisters and to the unsaved who know nothing of God, we are to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Also, we are to Love.

And not generic stereotypical love that supports anything and everything anyone does no matter how wrong it is. No, I'm talking about the other kind of Love.... Real Love that convicts, and corrects. Unconditional Love that doesn't hold against you your sins but also doesn't support them either. Love means being honest, despite how unpopular or politically incorrect it may be. It's caring less about people liking you and more about people loving God. It's a willingness to say what needs to be said rather than to say what you think people want to hear.

It's like this, as Christians, God says we are either hot or cold, but He will spew out the lukewarm. (Revelations 3:16)

Being a Christian isn't an easy undertaking nor does it make you the most loved person in the world. Unless of course.... you only ever say sweet words and never discuss the heavy issues facing the world, you're quite loved when you only do that. But when you speak up and out for God and stand against what He is firmly against and stay true to what His word says, (The Word that came before the world) when you start talking about that; there will be some push back. But that's alright. I'll keep pushing, because I'm not here to make friends, I'm here on this earth to fight for Jesus, (now that I personally know Him), in order to get people back on the path of righteousness. The devil is fighting awfully hard these last days to keep them on the path to hell, so the least I can do is deal with how heavy it can sometimes be to carry this sword of Truth and give it every ounce of spiritual strength I have to keep on swinging it.

If Jesus can die for me, I can definitely stand for Him. I don't think that's asking too much.
