To hear God speak is an honor; it's even better when we adhere to (believe in and follow) the voice of God. The problem with society lies in a practice of "do as I want". With this "want" comes instability, and instability breeds indecision. Many people today have greatly misconstrued the Word of God by implementing fear (which is defined as "an unpleasant feeling of agitation caused by the presence or perception of danger; or anxiety). There is one cult group in particular (Black Hebrew Israelites) that I have watched for a few years now, and they completely strive off of destroying people with fear. The concept they carry is that all persons who are Caucasian (or of European descent) will not inherit the kingdom of God, and therefore, be banished to hell. Can you see how fear and anxiety have driven many into a state of confusion, hence, instability and indecision, and has caused a division that seems irreparable? However, I am so excited about what Jesus said in John 3:5-6, Acts 2:21, and I Corinthians 12:13. We can have salvation through Jesus Christ and not be double-minded.
The reason that so many are led astray from the truth of God's Word is because they are double-minded. I have been double-minded before in many ways so I understand how this way of thinking is dangerous for not only me, but others who are connected to me. We must be born again with a renewed mind in Christ Jesus, as Paul stated in . In James 1:5-8, we are reminded that wisdom from God is a must in this life and a double mind causes instability.
We do not have to live in fear or anxiety of which way to follow. God is our source and He IS stability!
"And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure."
[Isaiah 33:6]
"For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding." [Proverbs 2:6]
"Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee."
[Proverbs 2:11]
33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
[Matthew 6:33-34]
