Do not be afraid them, You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen

Ezekiel 2:1-7

He said to me, “Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak to you.” As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.

He said: “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have been in revolt against me to this very day. The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’ And whether they listen or fail to listen—for they are a rebellious people—they will know that a prophet has been among them. And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or be terrified by them, though they are a rebellious people. You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.

Why?
Three times the Lord said to Ezekiel do not be afraid of what they say or terrified by them, you must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen.

I have to confess that I am sometimes afraid people refuse me, so I am afraid to say the word of God to others. May the Lord give me the wisdom to deliver good news to my college and others.

Most people are rebellions, but our mission is to deliver the word of the Lord to this dark world.

看到異象後必帶來使命、差派,神不會無緣無故顯現在人面前給人家看。事奉看來是人在做,但是動力來自神!事奉的人是背逆之家。我們不能挑服事地方,神要我們去那裏就要去。

荊棘和蒺藜在你那裡,你又住在蠍子中間,蠍子還會攻擊人。我們去傳去講,使人信的是主,不是我們會講,不是我們的能力。

可能我們就是悖逆之家,我們是否只希望聽我們想要的,神已給我們答案。我們會以為我們是以西結,是摩西!

只管忠心的傳講神的話,人聽或是不聽都要說。這就是以西結的任務。

不僅以西結的話,更以他的生命來見證神,堅持他的事奉,即使人的冷嘲熱諷,仍然以生命來,聖靈使以西結站起來!願神讓我們心裏的力量剛強。 我們只管繼續傳講,人是否信主是神的責任。

How?

Do I obey the command of the Lord? Yes, I do, but not so completely. Dear Lord, forgive us and give me strength to obey your command and honor your Holy Name.
