Ezekiel 2

1 He said to me, "Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak to you." 2 As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.


3 He said: "Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their fathers have been in revolt against me to this very day. 4 The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says.' 5 And whether they listen or fail to listen—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them. 6 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 terrified by them, though they are a rebellious house. 7 You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious. 8 But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you."


9 Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll, 10 which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.


This spoke to me this morning.  When it talks about "Son of man" that tells me it's talking about us.  We are Son of man.  The Spirit can speak to us whether on our feet or kneeling or sitting and so on.  The Spirit does send us into the world to speak to those who are unbelievers.  The world is obstinate, stubborn, and rebellious.  We are to talk to them about our Lord and Savior.  They may listen and they may not but we do live among them.

We should not be afraid but Satan likes to take hold of that and he's the reason why we don't speak out.  We think the world will hate us and in actuality they hate Jesus Christ because they fear what He stands for.  They don't want to change and Satan keeps hold of them that way.  They will be thorns and briers but remember what all Jesus Christ went through for us.  Our scroll is the Holy Word, the Bible.  We are to use that when we speak to the world.

Thank you Lord for coming and saving me from this world.  Thank you my Lord and precious Savior.
