Dear Mary,Thank you for your encouragement to all of us to witness in these Last days ...
"whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear" (will not listen or pay heed).
As you said, we are not to be:"afraid of them,neither be afraid of their words,nor be dismayed at their looks"....
"open thy mouth,and eat what I give thee."Ezekiel 2: 5--8 and 3:11.
Jeremiah 1:8"Be not afraid of their faces,for I AM with thee to deliver thee," thus saith the LORD.
Ezekiel 3:27..."He that heareth, let him hear;and he that forbeareth,let him forbear."
As Pastor Adrian Rogers always said," Reject the rejection".(Song by Anne Murray).
"We have not suffered unto blood "Hebrews 12:4....(just teeth marks.)
1. If we realized how short the remaining time is;
2. and if we realized the terrible consequence of missing out,
then we would be on fire to save the lost and to share the end- time messages.
The antidote for rejection is prayer..."pray without ceasing"1 Thessalonians 5:17
"God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you."1 Samuel 12: 23.
Intersesory prayer reaches the heart.
Again, thank you for sharing.Angela
