Shut it Down!

Get the folk out your ear who agree with you when your actions are dead wrong.

Most of the turmoil, delusion, cultism, and idolatry prevalent right now started from the pulpit and should’ve been shut down a long time ago when it first manifested. There WILL come a time of accountability for God does NOT like His people being messed with/deceived.
If someone around you is encouraging you to believe and support lies for the greater good, shut it down.
If someone is saying sin is okay if it’s done for a good cause, shut it down.
If someone in your circle is praising, overlooking and/or supporting unscriptural and unscrupulous behavior, shut…it…down.
If they’re enabling or winking at hate and wrongdoing, shut it down!
If you’re asked to pray that deceit and unrighteousness are victorious, that’s NOT biblical. Period. Shut it down!
Frankly, I don’t care what title or position that person is wearing, the size of their religious organization, how deep they claim to be, or how rich you’ve made them. Shut…it…down.
Why do we need to shut it down? What we hear and see, impacts our soul. The more we feed off that stuff—allow them access to our ear and eye gates, the more it saturates our soul and we soon become a mini-me and parrot of the person feeding us.
Think about it. Here’s an example: Preachers have been seen in the media spouting obvious lies and hate, then the congregation responds with enthusiastic praise. What…are…they…doing?! Oh, but the day of accountability is coming.
The sad thing is once you’ve reached that state, it’s hard to recognize who you’ve become...
Shut that stuff down!

The Confessions of Mae B. Yew I've Got a Man! June 03, 2010 The last time we spoke I was sportin’ a goose egg on my forehead (compliments of Momma). If you missed my last confession, you can find it at Momma and the Goose Egg . Shortly after I lost my mind and blew up at Momma, I apologized because I was wrong. I don’t know how ya’ll were raised, but I was taught to never ever disrespect my momma. Do you know what she did? Momma kissed my goose egg and said, “Baby, I’m sorry I put this thing on your beautiful face.” She hugged me real tight, and her gardenia perfume drifted over me in a loving, fragrant cloud. That was sweet wasn’t it? Wait. There’s more. Then she said, “But if you ever speak to me like that again, I’ll knock you into tomorrow, then love on ya just like this when you come to.” What can I say? That’s my momma. Enough about Momma and my goose egg. Ya’ll, I’ve got a man! When I became a Christian, I’m not sure what happened. Men of substance stopped coming near me, an...
