Insulted for Speaking Truth......You Are Blessed!
7 O LORD, you deceived me, and I was deceived; you overpowered me and prevailed. I am ridiculed all day long; everyone mocks me.
8 Whenever I speak, I cry out proclaiming violence and destruction. So the word of the LORD has brought me insult and reproach all day long.
9 But if I say, "I will not mention him or speak any more in his name," his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.
JEREMIAH 20:7-9

Have you ever found yourself feeling the pressure to not mention the Lord? To not preach? Have you noticed how some people only want to hear the good news but not the judgments of the Lord? There are many people who will try to tell you for the sake of "comfort", do not speak about the Lord out of respect for the beliefs of others. However, that is nothing but the enemy trying to shut you up. It is funny when a Christian speaks all of God's truth, they are accused of not walking in love. That is a lie! Jesus said many things to make His non-followers accuse Him of even working for the devil! So do not even buy into that garbage when someone says you aren't walking in love. Part of loving someone is telling them the whole truth, not just the good parts.
Muslims, Atheists, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. are all allowed and accepted to voice their beliefs (even in our children's schools). However, most schools no longer allow prayer or any mention of Jesus. I did not say god, because there are many gods but only One True God, and the true One is the one people try to prevent from being taught. If all of the other religions are allowed and accepted and Christianity is not, that should speak volumes to you. That you're on the Winning Side! Many lose their minds if you dare mention Jesus. Again, that should tell you something. That you're on the Winning side! You may try to shut your mouth and be quiet and not speak on your belief in Jesus as the Only Way to the Father in Heaven, The Truth and Our Only Savior from our sins and the judgment of eternal damnation, but you will not be able to be quiet for long.
God says do not conform to the ways of this world. This means also to not shut your mouth on the things of the Lord just because someone is uncomfortable. Preach it! If you are not received, THEN, move on to the next as Jesus did (we are not to beat it over no ones head), but we are to speak it at least once. The lost walk around speaking abortion is OK, violence is OK, pornography is OK, same sex marriage is OK, fertilization so they can give birth is OK (which it is NOT! If God wants a woman to not be barren and give birth, He will open her womb. Don't believe me? Re-read the story of Abraham and Sarah).
Many of these same people claim to know God and believe in Jesus. They do not! Anyone who supports abortion and gay marriage, porn, etc. does not know God! Period. Jesus said anyone who does the work of His Father knows Him. All the things I listed above are not blessed by God. God is the Creator of LIFE. He clearly shows that life happens when a man and woman lay together. God blessed Adam and Eve and they had their children. He did not bless Adam and Steve or Jane and Jill. You do not find that in the bible. I do not want to hear about folks preaching the lost books either to try to hint at there may be gay info in there. The books we have are the books the Lord wants us to see. In the beginning, it shows all that God created AND all that he said is GOOD and He blessed all that He said is good. He did not bless no mess! He is not of confusion.
So, yes, you will be mocked, ridiculed and taunted and shunned by all those who are against Jesus. But be happy! Why? The Lord said anyone who is mocked or insulted because of His name that person is blessed! Do what God says to do. Say it once. If you are not received, move on to the next (city, state, person, place and thing), but do not shut your mouth for fear of man. Do all things unto God. He holds the keys to your eternity. Man cannot do anything to you. Nothing.
Have a blessed week. And remember, if God is for us, who can be against us? Amen.
