Opposer

In the 70s , 80s and 90s I often heard the term "opposer" used in the church, but never thought this term would be applied to me. But now for over 12 years it indeed has been applied to me. I had been a simple, soft, compliant individual in the church for most of my 30 years as a member, until God sovereignly arranged circumstances to show me what was going on inside His House, which was somewhat analogous to the hole in the wall of the temple scene found in EZEKIEL.

"He said to me, "Son of man, now dig into the wall." So I dug into the wall and saw a doorway there. And he brought me to the entrance of the court, and when I looked, behold, there was a hole in the wall Ezekiel (8:8) He said to me, "Go in and see the terrible and detestable things they are committing here." Ezekiel 8:9.

And he said unto me, Hast thou seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark... (Ez. 8:12) "You shall say to the rebellious ones, to the house of Israel, "Thus says the Lord GOD, 'Enough of all your abominations, O house of Israel.’" (Ezekiel 44:6).

When I saw such a “scene”, which "opposers" had been aware of already, I learned that they rightfully had risen up in the church to speak as they ought to speak; and to oppose what they ought to oppose. When I brought attention to what their concerns were in the House of God, I too became labeled by our leaders as an "opposer". Their judgment of me instead of the situation I reported only gave me more understanding of the detestable things still unaccounted for in the church today
