Seeing encouraging and uplifting comments is a blessings for those who make them and for those who receive them, however for those who feel compelled to make invalid negative commentary and post them on social media must not understand essential biblical foundations for truth. They also do not seem to understand the grave consequences of how every idle word you speak shall be eventually be dealt with.
All the things you think, say, do and write means you shall one day give an account before the Lord Jesus/Yeshua for them. You shall certainly regret on this day for speaking foolishness and ignorantly against your brothers and sisters that Christ calls his friends. For we read in John15:15,”Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.”
Seriously do you want to insult the Lord Jesus/Yeshua’s friends?
Psalm 105:15,” Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.”
If you have anything against someone consider the instructions we are given in places like Mathew 18. Go to them first in privacy and try to sort your grievance out. In social media you can send a message in privacy, hint, hint, nudge, nudge.
There are a number of steps needed to be taken before you blurt out your thoughts before the entire world and both invisible Kingdoms. I ask that you prayerfully consider this before writing on social media how you personally don’t care for the ways someone sounds, look, speaks, acts or has accomplished, especially when they are dedicated to honouring the Lord Jesus/Yeshua with all their gifts and talents.
Unless you are actually just a programmed bot, as today more than half of all web traffic is made up of bots which analyses and files information from web servers at many times the speed of any human is able to accomplish. Regardless someone programmed that and will be held accountable.
We read in Matthew 12:36,”But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”
I remind you also it is written in Proverbs 21:23,”Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.” You may avoid much troubles in your life if you would only think and recognise where your thoughts come from before acting on any of them. Keeping in mind not every thought you have is your own. Someone or something must first think a thought before it can merge with your own thinking.
For all the self appointed critics of the watchmen, researchers, pastors, prophets, teachers, evangelist, apostles and those in the Christian arts, who is it who gave you the standard to come against those serving the Lord?
For example who was it who decided music for Christians today is suppose to be soft and played on acoustic instruments? After all we are instructed in places like Psalm 33:3,” Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.” Who decided what constitutes what sort of artistic expressions are acceptable today for the church and which to reject?
If the self appointed critics actually used the same methods on themselves how would they judge themselves? (see 1 Corinthians 11:31)
Would they use these same standards they come against others with for such things used for common clothing so we can all tell real Christians from those in the world? If such reasoning’s were actually logical wouldn’t all Christians drive the same model motorcars and all live in similar looking homes whilst all dressing, speaking and acting exactly alike? Or better yet all walk or ride donkey’s or horses when travelling anywhere as they did 2000 years ago? Is playing skilfully new songs before the Lord also include playing solos at virtuosity level or are we only allowed to keep recycling the same old three chord progressions? At what point having a biblical perspective are we to accept or reject creative ideas that push us out of our comfort zone if we are to play new songs and play skilfully?
It wasn’t that many years ago when only pipe organs were deemed acceptable for church music. Then you had an element in churches, probably manifesting the same unclean spirits as today who complained the organist played too loud or too soft each week. Along with those who were programmed to believe how you can’t honour the Lord in worship using a pipe organ, a guitar or any other instruments that social engineers came against over the years.
Yes whether it is a traditional or contemporary service there shall be people with hearing problems or hearing sensitivities showing up. Some of them try and dictate for everyone gathered together by complaining about how the worship is simply too painful for them to endure, so it must be for you too. Others may not like the style or have any sound reasoning’s except they say “I don’t like it.” Missing the heart of worship and the blessings that would ensue for them if they only got their spiritual eyes off themselves and onto the Lord Jesus/Yeshua. (Think of Peter walking on water here.)
How many people have written on prayer cards or offering envelopes disguising their complaint about volume as a prayer request: “Please pray for the organist who feels it’s his or her job to make us all deaf”
Let’s face the facts here and understand you can’t hardly get three people to agree on what to eat for lunch and where to eat it. However, the Lord inspired 40 authors who wrote the Holy Bible over a period of 1,500 years to be in complete agreement with each other, as it is divinely written.
If we were listening more and obeying the Holy Spirit in all things would any of us actually be willing writing hurtful comments about our brothers and sisters, many of whom we know very little about?
After all we read in 1 Corinthians 12:25,” That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.”
If the Lord Jesus/Yeshua and the original disciples appeared in the flesh today, how many self appointed critics would tell them to go get haircut’s and put on some modern attire?
Why do certain people who say they love Jesus/Yeshua feel so compelled to complain on the worlds social media trying to tear others down?
If you don’t care for someone’s research, insight or artistic expressions why must you voice your negativity for all to witness your ignorance and arrogance? How does that help anyone draw closer to Christ?
Is it simply because they do not recognise the critical spirits in themselves manifesting such negative perspectives and emotions? Are they simply so insensitive and damaged that they are totally unaware how their words offend and effect so many others? Are they unable to process social clues because they have succumb to the pharmaceutical medications that impair their mental abilities? Keeping in mind hurt people hurt other people, which grieves the Holy Spirit whilst it must delight the Kingdom of darkness.
Seems to me when approaching anything, we find ourselves experiencing it, observing it, seeing or hearing it etc, and how it makes us feel inside.
Generally speaking, we tend to either like something or not like it. From this perspective, it is really quite subjective and that includes stimulating many past thoughts and memories you have acquired along the way. Being subjective we tend to base new ideas in how we have been influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions. This of course almost completely dominates our way of experiencing life.
From a biblical perspective it seems especially important we consider if this honours the Lord or not? Could we also come to develop an informed or objective opinion rather than just an instinctual reaction this way?
We read in Hosea 4:6,”My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”
I dare say, keeping an open objective view would be keeping within the frame work of seeing things from a heavenly perspective. How shall you deal with Quantum physics and Transhumism approaching all of us in the near future if you can’t handle the basics of reality?
We read in 1 Corinthians 2:16,” For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.”
Could we then apply this to focus our thinking in more healthy ways emotionally, spiritually and intellectually?
Life is rather complex, and there is great satisfaction from learning and practising looking at things with the mind of Christ. Studying to show ourselves approved, exploring the Word of God, appropriating it in our life and finding continual profound meaning, whilst not shying away from those in the family of God simply because we may not understand them yet.
We read in 1 John 4:20,“If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?”
A Troll was once defined as a mythical being, often depicted as a giant (Nephilim) or a dwarf (Grey’s), typically having a grotesque appearance and speaking and acting in very ugly ways.
Today the internet appears to have a new version of Troll’s as someone manifesting ugly to new degrees as they are used of the kingdom of darkness to sow seeds of discord. They desire to start arguments, and provoke, basically wanting to upset who they are able to with their posting inflammatory, and extraneous commentary. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The new internet Trolls now live under an internet bridge and love to hunt for innocent netizens. Pray they make their peace with the Lord Jesus/Yeshua before it is too late.
We read in Leviticus 19:16,”Thou shalt not go up and down [as] a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I [am] the LORD.”
The Lord Jesus/Yeshua said in John 10:27,” My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:” Fight back overcomers, trust Papa God for every detail and stay in faith! Jesus said in Luke 21:15, “For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.’ I say hallelujah! Because “All”, things are possible with God! I pray the Lord’s supernatural peace, healing, provision and protection cover you always with oceans of agape love in the almighty name of Jesus/Yeshua!
