Do Not Do What Everyone Else Is Doing

A majority of people may not understand spiritual truth, but that does not make them right. Just because there are big religions filled with people believing what they say does not make them right in their faith. The number of people does not determine spiritual truth. Just because there are a lot of people teaching about Christ, His truths, His Kingdom, His grace, and the new covenant, it does not mean they are all right in what they are teaching. 

If you ever felt alienated in your natural life or felt like something was wrong with you because people around you were on another frequency or living differently, you need to comprehend that you do not live your life according to what most people say, think, or do. You live your life according to what the Holy Spirit leads you to do. 

We see that throughout time, throughout history, most people, in most cases, most of the time, in most things, are wrong!

The multitude that came out of Egypt had a calling to inherit the Promised Land, but most never saw it, understood it, or possessed it. They had the promise of a land of abundance, but most only lived to see a deserted land. They possessed the presence of God, but most of them did not value it. They had the rock to drink from, but most never understood what Paul would later on say in 1 Corinthians 10:4: “the rock was Christ.” They had manna from heaven, and most of them did not appreciate it. 

Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10:5 “Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.” Most of them died in that dry and deserted land, forgotten by history, without having achieved anything. They had no goals and no vision. No future generations remembered their lives, because they ended up buried in a place that no one ever found, in unmarked tombs, no one would ever visit. Most of them died without a trace. 

They left their children behind, but their children were just the same as they were. They saw their parents do the same thing every day. They looked so bored eating the same bread, doing the same rituals, going to the same parties, and telling the same stories, every day. They experienced nights of senseless sleep, and days that were just as senseless, just getting dressed and walking around, bored, doing the same things every day.
