“A Prophet is not Honored in His own Country.” (Matthew 13:57)
Holy Spirit:

In the sentimental religion of your fantasies, sincerity is always rewarded with applause.


Picture
In the sentimental scenario of your fantasies, to be right is always to be victorious.


Picture
In the sentimental world of your fantasies, your own family is the first to accept your prophetic charism.

Examine the life of your model Jesus, and the history of the Church. What do you hear? Applause?
What do you see? Victory?

Picture
What do the records show? Families affirming the path of the countercultural path of the martyrs?

The history is full of paradox: the "Prince of Peace” carries a two-edged sword 
(Hebrews 4:12). 
Some professed followers divide the Church. At some periods saints followed the claims of opposed leaders.


When you are nailed to the cross by rejection, some of you want to flee; others want to scream denunciations.

While you await Our next move, take up the words of your model:

“Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34)

Of course as far as Jesus is concerned, He did no wrong, there was no reason He should not have been accepted. As far as we are concerned, we are all called to be prophets, but I can see why a prophet, especially in my case, would not be accepted.I have lived a miserable life of sex, drugs, lies, lack of loyalty etc. ,etc. . Who in there wright mind who knows me would take me seriously ? This is a deep sorrow for me because my past actions have diminished my authority to speak.Fortunately it's not about me being accepted, it's about the words of the Holy spirit being accepted ,words being planted like seeds in the hearts of those who i meet .So let us keep being prophets only concerned with allowing the Holy Spirits love and words pass through us for the greater glory ofGod
