The Daily Jot: Are you demonized by society?

Daily reporting and analysis of current events from a biblical and prophetic perspective.

NOTE: When writing about God and Jesus, The Daily Jot means YHVH as God and Yeshua Ha Mashiach as Jesus--the actual original names and the true nature and character of them.

It's not right that someone gets assassinated just because of their skin color. It's further not right that a guy supposedly elected by all to represent them in the highest office of the land, finds that some people getting killed for their skin color are less than others. It's not right that our borders are not secure and that our leadership is allowing a re-colonization of America with illegal aliens, who are responsible for over 30% of arrests for violent crimes (this according to the US government). It's not right that Planned Parenthood is even allowed to exist, let alone receive funds from our hard earned labors. It's not right that an oligarchy redefined marriage. Islam is not a religion of peace. But who cares?

I will tell you who cares. There are two types. The ones who have some semblance of Biblical mores and understand righteousness and want to live by it. And those who hate righteousness and believe anyone else is a hater. So if you hold those aforementioned views, you are labeled a hater, a racist, uneducated, homophobe, Islamaphobe, or whatever other kind of "phobe" label they can conjure up. Its all over the place. Television, radio, magazines, the internet--society has become so hyped up on the things that are against the precepts of God, that no one can escape them. Those of you who would choose to live apart from these things, or not "of" these things, you are likely demonized by society.

If so, you are a prophetic person. Jesus said in John 15:18-20, "If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you.If you were of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me." Surely we see this in society. Even from people who say they are Christians, but believe the humanist way. What of them?

So take heart. If you are demonized by society for disagreeing with unrighteousness, then so be it. As Christ says in Matthew 5:10-13, "Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you. You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost its savor, how shall it be salted? it is thereafter good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men." A little different message than the self-improvement stuff many churches are teaching as gospel. Hey, rejoice. You are doing God's work. Don't lose your salt.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
