Twitter Silences Focus on the Family for 'Hate,' That Is, Telling the Truth About Biology

At first I use to fear when these things happened, the censorship of God's truth. However I no longer worry.
God's WORD will not return void. The light will go forth, the truth will go forth, God will be glorified.

We will overcome and Jesus will get the victory. More censorship is sure to come (we all know this), but
be encouraged, we will overcome. The body of Christ wins in the end.
 
Remember the world will always be the world, we are called to "come out from among them" not to change them" "But not , to be like them" That is how we let our light shine", Let the world be the world and let us walk like the "Sons of GOD". For Christ has already overcome this world and already obtain Victory. The Battle has been Finish a long time ago. "Yield not to temptation" your way of life is different, now act like it. Walk in the way of Holiness. Are you walking in "fornication" stop it! Are you walking in "slandering" stop it! And you walking in "Gossiping" stop it! and reframe from all the appearance of evil, If it looks bad and deceitful, it is, evil! stop it!

Revelation 3:21
To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
American Standard Version
These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Question my brother in Christ,

I definitely agree with you regarding the call to come out from among them.

Tell me more regarding what you mean by we are not call to change them but called to be the light?
I thought the light shines in the darkness inviting people to the glorious transformation that only Jesus can provide.
I acknowledge that we don't change anyone, only the Holy Spirit can. But what are your thoughts on our call
to be agents used by the Holy Spirit to bring about change?

I look forward to reading your response, God Bless.

Our light shines, when we do not following their ways of life, and they call us into question. Then we will reveal the hope that is in us. And this hope is dull and seems life less to the world, and they wonder. For They are dead in their trespasses and sins. Their have eyes but they cannot see, they have ears but they cannot hear. For GOD the Father have shut their eyes so they cannot see, :pensive:


King James Bible
"They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand."
Isaiah 6:9
And He replied: "Go and tell this people, 'Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.'
Isaiah 6:10
Make the hearts of this people calloused; deafen their ears and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed."

Sometimes GOD Truth is Painful, because sometimes we think, He is just like us. When we think Love, when think the Love the world understands, But GOD's love is nothing like the Love the world knows. To understand GOD's Truth, is a "gift" given to some by GOD. Many will hear our "Proclamation" concerning The Light that has come into the World, and out of that many, only a Few will understand our "proclamation" because only a Few are truly the "sons of GOD" that was establish before the Foundations of The Cosmos, before they ever was a "Heaven, before the "Angels of God " ever existed, before even "Time" it self, we the True "Children of GOD" was so ordain to exist and share into the "Eternal Inheritance" of The Only Begotten "Son of The LIVING GOD" we are a part of the Eternal Gift that The Father will Present to HIS SON in Our "Glorified form" whom He Loves on that "Coronation Day". For we will "Shine Brighter" than the Expanse of the Heavens and like the "STARS" forever and ever. We will be The express "GLORY of GOD" and continue to "Glow" throughout "eternity" and we will be forever Learning about our Father. and Reigning forever and ever with our "Eternal Brother" the only Begotten Son of The Living GOD!

You see the world cannot behold this Truth, for they cannot obtain the "Spirit of The Living GOD' for This Truth is Revealed In "Jesus Christ" the WORD of GOD" for The Bible has declared this, and we are the "recipients" of This Truth, The Chosen Few, the "Elect" of GOD! Chosen and redeem and chosen before the Foundations of the world. And when the "Heralds" of The "Gospel according to Jesus Christ" calls out throughout the Nations. The True "Children of GOD" it seems , awakens from a deep sleep or if it was a "seed", that was planted before anything existed, that was created and that seed was watered by the sound of a distance drummer and it sprouted, just like "Jesus" summons Lazarus from the grave when He called out his name!

The world does not know this "Truth" for it is Hidden in GOD!

"We speak wisdom, however, among them that are fullgrown: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought: but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, even the wisdom that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory: which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory:

"but as it is written, Things which eyes has not seen, and ears have not heard , and what no human mind has conceived", the things God has prepared for them that love him.

But unto us God revealed them through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of God none knoweth, save the Spirit of God. But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that were freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; combining spiritual things with spiritual words .

Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ."

You see now, what attracts the world cannot attract us anymore, the sports, the games, the parties. the trips, the cruises, the fashions of the world, cannot compare with the things God Has show to those who "LOVES" Him. And The world cannot see the things that GOD has revealed to us.

(1 Peter 4)NASB 1977
For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousals, drinking parties and abominable idolatries. And in all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same excess of dissipation, and they malign you; but they shall give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead

When you, do not do, the same things they do, they will notice, there is something different about you. And the fruit that GOD has produce in you, in your time of Obedience, will blossom, like a "city that sits on a hill" and it will give a" Fragrance" to everyone in the room! For the "Alabaster Box" will be open.:pensive: and the aroma cannot be deny.

Shalom, my brother, in Christ Jesus our Lord. who we will enjoy throughout eternity. Shining Brighter than the STARS of Heaven.:pensive:

So it seems like you are saying, in response to my question; that we change them by not being a part of them but by standing apart and bearing witness through our holiness.
I agree with you, thanks for clarifying.

Do you find many Christians try to change the world by being in the world?

One thing that comes to mind is church youth programs. It can be a fine line, but many programs try to "spice it up" and be hip and cool
so that it will appeal to the teenagers. Or sometimes in the music the word of God gets lost and it becomes more about pleasing
the senses.

What are some other ways brother, you find that Christians wrongly go into(adopt the ways of the world) the world in attempts to change it?

Thanks again.

The Holy Spirit is your alarm bell. When it rings, flee! trust your alarm bell. The devil is subtle. and you sure, are not a "Mongoose"! you do not have to debate why you should hang around. "bad company corrupt good morals" "you do not convert them, they convent you" by compromise. If they walk like a devil and talk like a devil, flee! RUN! Because you are no match! You can stand there and say I rebuke you in the name of Jesus if like. you have got away with that yesterday, but today, might be a different "DEMON"! He will sift you like wheat!:eyes: you will crawl up in a hole in the fetal position.
