Between the state of the conscious and the subconscious, that place where you are neither awake nor sleeping; I felt anger stirred in my spirit.
I was angry with people who had been taking potshots at me over the years. I have not moved to do anything to harm them.
But this time, I felt the time had come to pull my swords. I had a physical sword and a spiritual sword. I had no intention of using them but only to let them know and see what was in my hands, and that I could have done damage over and beyond.
Yet still in my spirit I remembered these words, “He that lives by the sword, shall die by the sword.” That moment prompted me to turn to God and asked, “What should I do?” I have not hurt any of these people or done anything wrong to them - and yet all of these people were Christian folks.
No sooner had I asked this question, a still voice in my spirit stirred, and this question was posed by way of an answer, “What is baptism without honour?” Immediately, I put my swords down, and felt an overwhelming peace that gave me joy and victory within, because those who attacked poked and took their potshots at me, it was now revealed that, yes, they were Christians, but they had no honour. And yes, I have been showing honour. Written by L.N.C.
Is this state of consciousness that Matthew 7:22,23 states: “Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name? And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me. You who act wickedly (disregarding My commands).”
Galatians 6:10
So then, as opportunity offers, let us practice what is beneficial for every one, but particularly toward the members of the family of faith.
