This weekend my sister is getting married, she's my only sibling.
She's about five years older than I am. She asked several months ago if my daughter
Mary, Could be one of the flower girls in the wedding,
And that was fine with me and that was fine with my wife.
But when we got the invitaion to the wedding a couple months ago,
Immediately the Lord let me know not to attend the reception.
He also let my wife know that individually. But tonight as we get ready to be prepared
for the wedding, And make arrangements for my daughter to be
at the rehearsal; The Lord took me to the gospel of Luke and
I was reading chapter 12, And towards the end of the chapter, I'm not
going to quote it... But it says, the Lord Jesus was speaking,
He said, I did not come to bring peace but a sword;
HE came to bring division. A family of five, three will be against two
and two against three. He came to set a mother against her daughter,
a son against his father. A father-in-law against son-in-law.
A mother-in-law against a daughter-in-law. My friends, if you are truly following Jesus,
And you are listening to the Holy Spirit, and you're letting Him lead and guide you.
Then there is going to be some major divisions in the family.
You're going to be laughed at, you're going to be ridiculed...
You're going to have to make some very hard decisions,
That are not going to be popular. You're not going to be pleasing very many
people in your family. Because the LORD will tell you to do things,
That the world does not like. The LORD will tell you do to things,
That people that love this world, and the things of this world will think you
are crazy. They will see well "WHY?" well..."That's stupid."
You know, but if you are truly following Jesus, you will not compromise.
When the Lord says to do something you will do it.
You will be set apart for the Kings service. You will be walking in holiness and righteousness,
Because you're focused on the Lord and pleasing Him alone.
And you will know His voice because you know Him,
Because you spend time with Him. So please... The reason I'm making this video is because
I want to ask you; If you're truly following Jesus,
Are you still trying to fit in with your old friends or even family?
Are you still trying to be popular? Are you still trying to please other people,
More than you are trying to be pleasing to Jesus?
Don't lie to yourself, are you? Are you still eating and drinking with the
drunkards? Or are you set apart for the service of our
KING? May Jesus bless you.
