Episode 57 breaks down family & friends. When righteous men and women of The Most High begin their walk with The Most High, all aspects of life change. From how you manage your time and energy, to your hobbies, your interests, and down to who you spend quality time with. All of these aspects factor into your change in life because in order to walk on the narrow path of the righteous, you must change up quite a lot in your life in order to be genuine and to be able to maintain your walk. Family and friends may become quite confused regarding all of the changes in your life. Especially depending on how quickly you implement these life changes. Psalm 1: [1].
Family and friends of ours begin to view us in certain ways and in certain light from familiarity. When a righteous man or woman begins to change and walk with The Most High, your family and friends will notice the changes almost immediately depending on how major these changes are. Many people are afraid of change. Many people are terrified of accountability. Many people are worried about losing family and friends if they decide to do something that goes against the grain. These are all aspects that we fight the older we get. You either conform to the majority, or you start to become a free thinker and venture outside of the herd mentality. Family and friends can oftentimes become frightened by the major changes in the lives of someone striving to live a righteous life. Regardless of whether you are dealing with a family member or a friend, people will notice the major changes in you and will either accept and encourage them or will deny and discourage them. Proverbs 20: [6].
Righteous men and women of The Most High are focused on preparing for what’s ahead and we acknowledge, recognize, and understand that it is our duty to warn our family and friends of what’s ahead. We are to remember to not look down on our family or friends for not deciding to walk with The Most High because it isn’t up to us to wake up or save anyone. The Most High is in full control of waking up your family or friends and not us. Our main duty is to remain righteous so that we can set a righteous example for our family and friends. We are to share wisdom, knowledge, and understanding with our family and friends so that we can help give them a gentle nudge to prioritize their relationship with The Most High. Righteous men and women of The Most High recognize that oftentimes, those around us only wake up when they go through something traumatic or when they hit rock bottom. Righteous men and women do not want to see anyone go through any unnecessary trauma or hit rock bottom but we begin to realize that this is oftentimes the route that people need to take to get closer to The Most High. Ecclesiastes 1: [18].
It's up to righteous saints of The Most High's to warn those around them about the evil, wickedness, and idolatry of the world. It’s up to the saints of The Most High to share the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of The Most High - Ezekiel 33: [8-9]. Without the Laws, Statutes, and Commandments of The Most High, we'll only continue to be given calamity throughout our lives.
All praises to The Most High.
