“6 And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions. Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house. 7 And you shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house.” ~ Ezekiel 2:6-7
Fear will try to shut you up. It will try to silence you and keep you from sharing the good news, but God says, don’t be afraid. Not of the people. Not of their words or their appearance, go preach. Go tell them the Truth. Go tell them the Good News of Jesus, for they are a rebellious people. In other words, they’re currently on the road to Hell; go tell them what I have to say so that they may change their ways and repent. Even if they don’t listen, it doesn’t matter; allow them to turn from living in sin.
Even if we will never listen, God still gives us the opportunity. God still sends us a warning. God still cares. So, don’t be discouraged, and don’t be afraid because where God sends you, He will go with you. Whatever He has you do, He will help you. God won’t abandon you. You won’t have to preach alone. You won’t have to witness alone. Put your faith and trust into God, seek Him, and you will never have to fear. Because when you seek God, He reveals Himself and His nature to you. You build a strong relationship with Him, and fear can no longer intimidate you because you truly know and understand who God is: your Father, Brother, Protector, Guide in The Darkness, your Everything.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Silence Fear.
