There are some of the Remnant who will not be permitted to continue on the narrow path and the door will be closed to them. Isaiah brings the issue to light:
Isaiah 28:5 In that day the LORD of hosts will be
For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty
To the remnant of His people,
6 For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
7 But they also have erred through wine,
And through intoxicating drink are out of the way;
The priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink,
They are swallowed up by wine,
They are out of the way through intoxicating drink;
They err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
Wine or intoxicating drink dulls the sensitivity to us hearing FATHER’S Voice. In the coming days and weeks it will be increasingly important to maintain such sensitivity. FATHER gave Aaron a specific mandate concerning this requirement In Leviticus chapter 10:
8 Then the LORD spoke to Aaron, saying:
9 “Do not drink wine or intoxicating drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the tabernacle of meeting, lest you die. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations,
10 that you may distinguish between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean,
11 and that you may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD has spoken to them by the hand of Moses.”
We must be able to discern between the holy and unholy no matter how subtle it is when the situation presents itself and who is set before us. We cannot assume anything going forward. Each and every man or woman must ascend to this level of sensitivity for you will not be able to ride the coattails of another when judgment comes.
People have become addicted to drugs, drink, sports, and anything else that constantly draws their attention from fellowshipping with FATHER. The addiction promises an escape from reality but always departs leaving an emptiness deeper than before the high occurred. As the commercial promoting the new movie “Concussion” states: “Sunday was once owned by the church but now the NFL owns it!”.
Men are thirsting for violence and look forward to their team removing star players from the other team during the game. Where is FATHER’S Love in all this? Each of us will make a decision of whether we get on and stay on the narrow path or allow the foreign gods to draw us away and entice us with intoxicating drink. It’s time to sober up and not allow the trappings of the world to exercise authority over your future. Align yourself with FATHER and HE will direct your path. Right now it is not too late but I wouldn’t delay. Once the door has shut, it will not reopen.
