đź“ŚEPHESIANS 5:11-14
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
đź“ŚEZEKIEL 3:17-19
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
I think everyone would agree that a new level of evil has taken hold in this world.
Like in the days of Noah, the current loosing of evil, chaos magik, public spells and rituals intermingled with technology is unparalleled by any other time in history.
DECEPTION IS RAMPANT.
đź“ŚPROVERBS 16:18
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Knowing When It's Time To Move On.
The command to “shake the dust off your feet” appears only four times in the New Testament. In each case the command is spoken by Jesus to His disciples when He sent them out two by two (Matthew 10:14; Luke 9:5).
Shaking the dust off one’s feet conveys the same idea as our modern phrase “I wash my hands of it.” Shaking the dust off the feet is a symbolic indication that one has done all that can be done in a situation and therefore carries no further responsibility for it. In The Scriptural examples, Jesus was telling His disciples that they were to preach The Gospel to everyone. Where they were received with joy, they should stay and teach. But where their message was rejected, they had no further responsibility. They were free to walk away with a clear conscience, knowing they had done all they could do. Shaking the dust off their feet was, in effect, saying that those who rejected God’s truth would not be allowed to hinder the furtherance of The Gospel. Even the dust of those cities that rejected The Lord was an abomination and would not be allowed to cling to the feet of God’s messengers.
Embedded within this symbolic gesture was the implication that God also saw the dust-shaking and would judge people accordingly. There was a spiritual significance to a disciple of Jesus shaking the dust off his feet. It was a statement of finality about people who had been given the truth and who had rejected it.
There are situations in our lives where God calls us to stand firm, proclaim truth, and give patient testimony. Sometimes we need to continue until we see the results of that testimony. Other times God gives us the freedom to move on. We figuratively “shake the dust off our feet” when, under The Holy Spirit’s direction, we surrender those people to The Lord and emotionally let go🙏
