“NO WARNING!”

“NO WARNING!” Ezekiel 3:17-19 (ESV) “17 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from MY mouth, you shall give them warning from ME. 18 If I say to the wicked, 'You shall surely die,' and you give him “NO WARNING”, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, IN ORDER TO SAVE HIS LIFE, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at YOUR hand. 19 But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul.” Sharing is a joy and a privilege when it is something that isn’t opposed by the elements of “this world”. There are social media memes that say if you agree with the message, the invitation is to LIKE it and SHARE it with others. The choices that the prophet Ezekiel was given of whether or not to relay the message given to him by GOD ALMIGHTY were plainly spoken. He could be quiet and keep GOD’s Judgement to himself (and pay the price!), or he could SHARE with others what GOD had said HE would do if they refused to listen (and leave the Judgement up to GOD!). His options were very clear! Today, GOD called pastors have the same options. They can elect to tickle the ears (2 Timothy 4:1-5) of the people that listen to them, or they can opt for the TRUTH and let GOD’s Message have “free course” (2 Thessalonians 3:1) to accomplish all that HE has planned! Surely we all would rather not experience the WRATH of GOD ALMIGHTY, so why don’t the Messengers deliver what GOD has said? HE is the ONE that will deliver Judgement, not the preachers!?! SHARING memes isn’t performed by many because we have no concern about worldly issues. Many “preachers” don’t love their flocks as much as they love their salaries, or the message would be totally different! Ezekiel had a choice, and he chose wisely. But I am not a Messenger from GOD! Or am I? Everybody has a means of SHARING HIS Word, whether it be verbally, written, and especially by the lives we live! It is IMPERATIVE that we send a message that they are speeding recklessly to a certain end that IS coming, as sure as their last breath! After reading this Message, you can never say you had “NO WARNING”!
