Sunday, my pastor mentioned a phrase that I have not heard in quite a while; willful ignorance. As you watch the foundational destruction of our society, you may wonder how people could go along with it. I think when people are unable to do without comfort and convenience, they are willing to go along with a lie in hopes the “bully” will back off. Capitulation has become easy, especially if it does not directly affect you yet. This morning as I watched the news, it dawned on me our nations’ primary sin. We allowed the consumption of the vulnerable by false and corrupt promises. Now that those same leaders are coming for the rest of the nation, there is a crisis. Really? The comfortable slowly allowed evil to ravage vast sections of our country. We should be ashamed. We love to point at different groups of people or leaders and pretend that they are the issue. As Christ-followers, we should not only vote our faith; we should be sharing it with others. Here is my thought process when I teach. The listener always has that beautiful free-will gift to choose to believe or reject the message. My job is just to be an obedient voice, and may I add God’s hand and feet. It is God’s job to hold people accountable for how they use the information given. Rise up Church and do your job!
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge,” Hosea 4:6a.
There is life and death in the tongue. In the beginning, God created man to be in authority. Since the fall of man, many now see any so-called authority in our words, as crazy superstition or demonic. By perverting the concept, Satan has us speaking negative words in doubt and unbelief. We are literally cursing our own destinies because we do not understand that from the beginning, words were used to create. Now, evil uses words to destroy with constant negative, complaining, and destructive talk. It is everywhere, and the church is participating. Jesus has taken all authority from Satan and returned it to His children. Being ignorant concerning precisely what the blood of Christ at the cross has restored to us, we are still declaring ourselves destined for illness and great sorry on this earth. Many have confused trials and tribulations as one’s lot in life, so we then do not speak in authority against it because we believe Sovereign God wants us sick and hurting
