NETTIE-ISM: There is supposed to be a mass exodus from Facebook Saturday. I will not be of the thousands because I am not on Facebook because of political ideology.
MATTHEW 6:9-13 KING JAMES VERSION
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
As always I speak to Christians when I write with the hopes that a non-Believer will take into consideration my words. The reason I am on Facebook is to come into contact with “a person”, every day there is that “one person” who needs to read what I write or share. Facebook is not about sharing my political ideology, it is about me sharing my faith and my walk with YHWH as imperfect as it may be.
This morning, as usual, I awakened and the Spirit of God placed the words: “Thy will be done” in my soul. Personally I am reminded that I must do His will not mine. But, with those using social media it appears that they believe His will is what they have determined it to be the way they have determined it to be. YHWH SAID:
ISAIAH 55:8-9 KING JAMES VERSION
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
I take these words literally. I am not God, neither are those who are on social media. People are free to leave Facebook, I don’t have a problem in that; however, God is not political therefore going to another platform does not guarantee 100 percent agreement among your peers. More important, in my opinion, the problem is not the control of ideology on sites that are owned by liberals the problem is the lack of boldness among the saints.
PHILIPPIANS 1:12-14 KING JAMES VERSION
12 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
I am staying on Facebook because as long as I am there I can boldly proclaim the Truth about my Lord and Savior. I will go to ‘Ninevah’ an speak of the goodness of my Lord and Savior because it is His will that I proclaim His good news.
MATTHEW 28:16-20 KING JAMES VERSION
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
WE are all disciples, students of the Lord, and we are commanded to teach everyone about our GOD who sent His Son to earth so that whoever believes in Him will have everlasting life.
I don’t think it is wrong for people to leave Facebook and I am thankful for those who choose to remain.
