Slavic Christians are slaves

Dear Slavic community,

The same “Christians” who judge people for going to American churches and have bougie lifestyles they can’t afford are the same individuals who have slave mindsets, are afraid of leaving their legalistic churches for fear of getting shamed, and lie about their earnings to receive government handouts. 

I’m reading the book of Ezekiel,and my Slavic community keeps coming to mind.

WE have “rebelled against Go,d and our fathers have been in revolt against Him to this very day. We are an obstinate and stubborn people, and do not listen to God” when He tells us to repent of our ways to be spared from destruction.

Our false prophets speak of prosperity and peace without reverence or of fire and brimstone without grace.

We fear speaking the truth and calling out sin, so we hide behind Louis Vuitton’s, lip fillers, and fancy cars.

My people are lost in the dark and are trying to find their way without Christ as their Light.

They lie about their mental health and say, “I’m fine,” when their bodies and children scream, “Give me love, attention, and help.”

Too many work “under the table” to “report less.” They CHOOSE to stay in poverty.

Their kids wear fancy brands while receiving “low-income” school lunches.

Too many go to church to  and talk about the pastor behind his back.

Too many fear leaving churches because of what “people will say about them,” so they come late and leave early instead.

Too many receive government help, not because they qualify, but because they make $50,000/m and lie about it.

Slavics build their homes with cash and tell the government they live at the poverty level.

This is called “fraud.”

These same parents then “teach” their children to be honest-what hypocrisy.

Too many men don’t work but sit on their couches and smoke, drink, play video games, and impregnate their wives to get food stamps.

The welfare system was supposed to temporarily help us get on our feet when we immigrated to America, not be our source of “income” that we live on generations later.

We, like the Israelites, “asked for a king,” yet we don’t want to live under his leadership, obey his rules, and pay our taxes.

Too bad it was not up to us to decide whether we wanted to obey.

You don’t let your children choose when they want to break the house rules, do you?

This lifestyle is abominable to God.

We are children of a King-why aren’t we living like it?

Why are we living like slaves outside the Kingdom's walls? Let that sink in. In stating that we are living at the poverty level to receive handouts, we let our mindsets also believe the lie and live like we’re poor. We don’t act like our Father, the King, owns cattle on a thousand hills. We doubt His provision and promises and think we must eat pigs' food like the prodigal son did instead of returning to the Father’s House.
