You Lie when you say, “I don’t care what people think”
You Lie when you say, “I don’t care what people think….” No one in their right mind and especially kingdom people can say this truthfully.
To make a statement like this is utter nonsense. Would you care if people thought you were a sex offender, or a pedophile? Would you care if they thought your were a serial killer or a rapist? Heaven cares what earth thinks, that’s why from the time I started My ministry, until I returned to glory, I told people to change their thinking! REPENT! If I did not care what people thought, then I would not have allowed them to crucify Me, so they could have a new mind to think with.
Almost everything you do has to do with how you want people to think. You bathe, and brush your teeth, to not be offensive. You where better clothes when meeting new people, ladies wear make up, tidy up your house, wash your clothes, and your car. You talk, walk, and act differently in public, mostly because down deep everybody cares what others think.
If you do not care what people think, then you have no love in you, because what they think determines hell or heaven for them. “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he,” Proverbs 23:7.
If they are turned off to the gospel, thinking you are a phony, because of your lukewarm lifestyle, you could be the cause of their eternal death. However, “If you have your conversation honest among the unbelievers: even though they speak against you as evildoers, they will see your good works, which will change what they think of you, and they will glorify God in the day of their visitation” 1 Peter 2:12.
If you abide in Me and My word abides in you, you will care what everyone thinks, and set the example for them to follow you into My kingdom!

Matthew 12:33-37 (NKJV)
A Tree Known by Its Fruit
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. 34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
