Genesis 24:52-26:16, Matthew 8:18-34, Psalms 10:1-15, Proverbs 3:7-8
What God said to me – You live in a society where people rarely celebrate a victory or triumph or good news that doesn’t personally affect them. I did a great work in the country of the Gadarenes that saved and transformed the lives of two demon possessed men and yet the people of the city asked Me to leave. Why? Because My saving of these men only magnified their own sin, and they didn’t want to change. Their livelihood was based on raising swine even though as Jews they couldn’t eat them, so rather than turn to Me and change, they asked Me to leave. Don’t be surprised when people react negatively or are not happy to hear about how I have transformed your life. It is convicting to them and for the most part, they don’t want to change. However, don’t let anyone’s negative reaction deter you from sharing what I have done in your life. My Spirit convicts of sin and righteousness and judgment, and your testimony may be the very thing He uses to reach them when the time is right.
