"Strong Warning Not to Think Like Everyone Else Does"

"The Lord has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does.  He said, 'Don't call everything a conspiracy, like they do, and don't live in dread of what frightens them.  Make the Lord of Heaven's Armies holy in your life.  He is the one you should fear.  He is the one who should make you tremble.  He will keep you safe.'" (Isaiah 8:11-14a, NLT)

I have referred to this passage several times before.  There is no Scripture which speaks more prophetically to the Church in this generation than this.  The exhortation is very clear.  God warns You and me as Followers of Jesus Christ to, "not think like everyone else does." 

This is not the case in so much of the modern church; details are not necessary, just suffice it to say that The Word of God, Jesus Christ, says things, "to the Churches," which He cannot say to others.  Their ears, minds, and hearts are clogged with what Paul told Timothy to avoid, "the profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called" (KJV).  Too many in churches have more of an ear to "science" than to the, "the Words of God."  Most who call themselves Christian today have been conquered by Darwinism, Oprahism, and trendy philosophies.  As a result, they, "live in dread of what frightens," the "scientific" world, the political pundits, false prophets, and fellow workers around the water cooler.

I am absolutely committed to the, "Words of God," because it was the, "Words of God," not, "science falsely so-called" (the words of man), which saved my life 40 years ago after the passing of our son.  "Empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called 'knowledge,'" could do nothing for me.  But then came the, "Words of God," and power and deliverance and sustenance------ to this very day.

Try this for a New Year's Resolution-- "Make the Lord of Heaven's Armies holy in your life.  He is the one you should fear.  He is the one who should make you tremble.  He [is the ONLY One Who] will keep you safe."

Father, in Jesus' Name, You know the battle and struggle with walking in the text.  I pray, Holy Spirit, keep it before me.  Amen.
