Are you HOT or cold?




 

  **Please forgive me if this post is a bit passionate, I was greatly upset by the following events and felt I needed to speak on them.**

 

My husband and I were at the store tonight and we took note of the current condition of things.  We live in a world where evil and immoral things and behavior are widely accepted.  It is upsetting to see young girls no older than perhaps 12 dressing like ladies of the night to put it nicely. To see how many corrupt souls there are in the world and to be able to imagine (or in my husband’s case actually feel) their intentions is heart breaking and sickening.  We were standing in the checkout line and took notice of the magazines that are at the ends of them. You know the ones that are just filled with a ton of garbage celebrity gossip? The second row of magazines from the floor, right at a child’s eye level, is a magazine that says “SEX tape” in huge yellow letters right on the front.  

 

We all know that this was done on purpose to catch attention and the placement is not an accident. I know from experience as a previous Walgreens employee that they get their product display layout directly from their corporate office.  The publishers of the magazine deliberately chose large yellow bold text for the words “SEX tape” on the cover because they knew that the first thing that will catch your attention on the magazine are these two words out of the long title (the rest of the words are only legible if you actually pick the smut up and read it.  I do not know about you, but as a hwhy/YaHUaH fearing woman I do Not want our daughter to see this junk.  It is poison for the innocent minds.  It makes me not even want to go to the store anymore because it is filled with so much corruption. How are we supposed to protect our daughter from these things when the media so deliberately throws it right up in your face.  

 

It does not end there, as we are proceeding through the line,  bright red bold letters catch my eye where they have all the other magazines and readers digest and the like (the mini magazines). The words that catch my eye are “HAVE SEX”. My immediate reaction was a silent inward “do WHAT?” I pointed it out to my husband.  When you look closer at the title it has smaller lettered words that read “one couple wants to” that you can hardly read. Then the two large all caps red words, and then small again under that “before they die.”

 

Subliminal messaging! That cover was designed so that even if you do not read the magazine, it is telling all of our young unwed persons to have sex.  WHY is this acceptable?! I remember when I was a child, you would never even hear a 3 letter curse word on television, now we can hear every curse word there is, sex and other immoral things are thrown around very liberally.  hwhy/YaHUaH said this would happen.

 

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! 

Isaiah 5:20

 

As we are leaving the store a young girl, no older than 10 or 11 perhaps comes around a corner mouthing the words to a song and dancing very provocatively.  This is a result of the modern TV shows that children are allowed to watch. The music that is a result of these shows and pop culture. 

 

All of our values have been flipped on their head.  These are the days spoken of. Everything that is evil is widely accepted by those who wear the Name of our Messiah [cwhy/Yahusha and call themselves His Followers. I believe that THIS is what a Lukewarm believer/Follower is.  It is showing tolerance for evil, for sin, for everything that our Father hwhy/YaHUaH despises.  Or even worse, partaking in it! And then proceeding to attend church and say, "I am saved." 

 

hwhy/YaHUaH said to live a set apart life.

 

“And do not imitate this world, but be transformed by the renovation of your minds, and you shall distinguish what is the good, acceptable and perfect will of hwhy/YaHUaH.”  

Romans 12:2

 

Our Father does not want us to conform to this world. He does not want us to accept, tolerate or even participate in the vile ways of this world. They are the ways of SATAN!  

A Follower of hwhy/YaHUaH's Son, [cwhy/Yahusha, should NEVER find any sort of pleasure in perverted, hateful, immoral things.  If they find pleasure in any of these things of the world then they are not true Disciples of [cwhy/Yahusha.  They are those that only want to wear the name of our Messiah (And 'Jesus' IS NOT EVEN HIS NAME!) but they will live their own lifestyles and completely disregard what hwhy/YaHUaH loves and hates. 

 

“And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by your name, to take away our reproach.”

Isaiah 4:1

 

 Just because they call themselves Followers of [cwhy/Yahusha does not mean that they are saved.  Do they live a set apart life? One that is not conformed to the world? Does the world love them or hate them? [cwhy/Yahusha told us that the world would hate us for His Name sake. 

 

 “And you will be hated by everyone because of my name, but whoever will endure until the end, he will be saved.”  

Matthew 10:22 

(also see  Proverbs 29:27, Matthew 24:9, Mark 13:13, Luke 21:17, John 15:21)

 

Following [cwhy/Yahusha should not be a cake walk. If we meet no resistance at all, then perhaps we should reexamine our walk with Yahusha.  

In short, hwhy/YaHUaH wants us to either be On Fire for Him, with an ever-burning desire to be closer to Him and purify ourselves for His Glory; or we should be Stone Cold, with no desire for Him. That means do not even use His Set Apart and Righteous name to justify your sins. Our world, this country especially, is filled with Lukewarms…. It is devastating and sad.  They make friends with the world because they don't want to be hated. 

 

(Readers please know that when I use the terms “you, yours, etc” I am not referring directly to you, but putting it in a universal means so that it can apply to you or the person next door.  However, we should never be afraid to look deep within ourselves for things to improve upon. )

 

The [cwhy/Yahusha's Love,
