A Letter To The Exiles
Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Sep 22, 2023 (message contributor)
Summary: Some of you are in exile from people who were, at one time, your friends. And some of you are in exile from your spouse. I have a word from God that will bring you hope in your time in exile from whatever it is you are in exile for.
And finally, abortion: Proverbs 6:16-19, "These six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren." Now that last part takes me back to listening to people who are wolves in sheep's clothing. God hates people who sow discords discord among the church! That would mean someone who causes the church to turn on each other, cause married couples to turn on each other and divorce, and cause people to leave the church because they started believing the lies these people told them.
But God is telling His people today, "It doesn't matter what this person said, or that person says. It's not about you having it your way!" God's plan is not the menu at "Burger King"! You're not always gonna get YOUR way! Which is more important to you? Getting your OWN way, or having GOD's way? You may think you have it all figured out, but in the long run, what will any of it accomplish you if you don't have Jesus at the helm guiding your every step? Amen?
I pray this word has encouraged you if you're in a season of exile. I hope it has gotten you to think about things in a whole new light. But most of all, I hope you have heard God's voice today. Will you pray this prayer with me?
"Heavenly Father, as we come to a close today, let every heart be touched by Your amazing grace, Lord. Let every person here feel the hand of God Himself on them right now. And Father, if there is anyone here who is in a season of exile, or who has exiled someone from their life, I pray that You would bridge that gap and bring them together according to Your Word, oh God. let them find peace and let them find reconciliation today. In Jesus Name, we pray. Amen and Amen!
