The Division

     Matthew 13:29-30 (NASB)- "...for while you are gathering up the tares, you may uproot the wheat with them. Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, 'First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn.' "

    Luke 12:51 (NASB)- "Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division." 

    From the title, you're probably thinking, "Well yeah, there's an obvious division amongst the good and the evil," but this is not what I am talking about. There are those in sheep's clothing who are wolves in secret. There are those right under your nose who claim to go the extra mile for Jesus, but not the other ten it takes to succeed. I am talking about the believers of Jesus Christ. Can I call it that really if the actions don't prove to be so? 

    Let me be clear: I have not "made it" so-to-speak, but I am trying to live according to God's Word with truth and integrity. I am, in my own walk with the Lord, practicing "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control" (Galatians 5:22, NASB). On top of this, me and my husband are getting equipped spiritually to fight effectively against the enemy. I just wanted to give a personal viewpoint and testimony so it doesn't seem as if I was pointing fingers or being hypercritical. Moving on...

    I have seen a lot of religious, Pharisaical spirits in my short lifespan, and it just amazes me at the inability to budge when it comes to the spiritual, revelatory side of things. I am not going to mention names, videos, etc. ; I'll tell the truth while at the same time not be petty. God is truly dividing His children, starting right at home within the church's four walls. I have been saying this for a minute, but I will say it again. The enemy is turning up the heat with his shenanigans, but the Lord is turning up the heat as well with His miracles. 

    The spiritual battle that has been happening for awhile is now become even that much more evident to those paying attention. When me and my husband moved here to Jacksonville, Florida, and even right before really, there was an urgency to study, fast, pray, and seek the Lord for His guiding. This urgency has increased in intensity and God is preparing to do something massive, and He has already started. More and more is being revealed on both sides of the fence, and nothing will be left unturned. 

    Those who we thought were "down for the cause" won't be, and those "no-names" will show up (for what it seems like) out of nowhere to show the true heart of God on display via prophecy, signs, and wonders, but most importantly His love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 (NASB)- "But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love." 

***Let's pray!!! 💛 Dear Lord, we thank you for staying present at all times, for you are an omnipresent God. Father, let us be conscientious of the fact that no action goes unnoticed by you, so let us walk with integrity in our relationship with you. For those who have yet to develop that relationship with you Lord, let them come to you with conviction and repentance, seeking your face, for this is what you desire. You desire for your creation to at least make an effort to be in your camp and not that of the devil. We thank you Lord that you will continue to protect us and that no pestilence will come near our tents. You are a faithful Father, and you never run short on your promises. Actually, you give us more than what we could ever ask or think, so we thank you for this in advance. Thank you Lord for blessing us throughout this coming week, and placing a hedge of protection around us. Let our walk with you be magnified throughout the land, evident, and tangible to the lost. Father, we couldn't say thank you enough, but again we say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." In Jesus' Name we pray-Amen.***
