Satan is trying to steal from us our culture of family, loyalty, and respect. We must not allow ourselves to become lukewarm and communicate that lukewarmness to our family.
We must live our lives in humility and understand that yesterday’s revelations may not be applicable today for we live in a broken world. Our mindsets must change as The Holy Spirit enlightens us today.
As I wrote yesterday: When a new move of FATHER occurs, many ministries fail to see and respond to the new direction FATHER has ordained us to walk in. They often read about the move later, after the fact. As you and I stay fully connected to The Holy Spirit, we will make the necessary course corrections and stay in the Spiritual flow. What worked in the past will not necessarily work in the future for many of those ministries. They have become lukewarm and will eventually die off. A perfect example is found in the Book of Revelation:
The Beloved Disciple John wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 2:
Christ’s Letter to Smyrna
8Write the following to the messenger of the congregation in Smyrna. For these are the Words of the One Who is the Beginning and the End, the One Who became a corpse, but came back to life:
9I am aware of all the painful difficulties you have passed through and your financial hardships, even though, in fact, you possess rich treasure. And I am fully aware of the slander that has come against you from those who claim to be Jews but are not, for they are a satanic congregation. 10Do not yield to fear in the face of the suffering to come but be aware of this: the devil is about to have some of you thrown into prison to test your faith. For ten days you will have distress but remain faithful to the day you die, and I will give you the victor’s crown of life. 11The one whose heart is open let him listen carefully to what the Spirit is presently saying to all the churches. The one who conquers will not be harmed by the second death.
There are many threats out there to those who don’t submit to the system’s mandates arising out of the xxxdemic. FATHER will not let them get away with their attempts to control and manipulate Believers. Their current narrative is falling apart and soon the Truth will expose the nefarious intentions of those promoting mass control and manipulation. Let us maintain our focus on The Spiritual and let their narratives die on the vine. We must not lose our focus of walking in Agape Love. Even listening to the failing narrative can incite anger, disgust, and frustrations so don’t let those emotions rise up and move your focus away from the Spiritual. The Highway of Holiness is the path to safety and success in the midst of the world’s turmoil.
Christ’s Letter to Pergamum
12Write the following to the messenger of the congregation in Pergamum. For these are the Words of the One Whose Words pierce the hearts of men:
13I know where you live—where Satan sits enthroned, yet you still cling faithfully to the power of My Name. You did not deny your faith in Me even in the days of My faithful martyr Antipas, who was executed in your city, where Satan lives. 14Nevertheless, I have a few things against you. There are some among you who hold to the teachings of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to eat things that were sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality. 15Furthermore, you have some who hold to the doctrines of the Nicolaitans. 16So repent, then, or I will come quickly to war against them with the Sword of My Mouth. 17But the one whose heart is open, let him listen carefully to what the Spirit is presently saying to all the churches. To everyone who is victorious I will let him feast on the hidden manna and give him a shining white stone. And written upon the white stone is inscribed his new name, known only to the one who receives it.
To entice means: To incite or instigate, by exciting hope or desire; usually in a bad sense; as, to entice one to evil. Hence, to seduce; to lead astray; to induce to sin, by promises or persuasions.
This is what the spirit of deception did and still does. This letter applies to many churches today as they passively accept idol worship and sexual immorality. Many people exalt and worship entertainers which include those in music, television, movies, and sports. Sexual immorality includes those who support or involved in abortion and the lgbtqrstuv… community. Idol worship and sexual immorality promote an identity crisis in those people. Our identity is found in Christ, the old man has passed away. For the most part, churches remain relatively silent on the issues with the exception of abortion.
If the churches operated in Agape Love and unity, the other issues Jesus revealed would not be allowed to flourish in our culture today. Many Christians promote idol worship by financially supporting entertainers through ticket sales. This is true of commercials which have expanded their message by including sexual perversion. If the “church” would cease purchasing the products from those corporations who create such commercials, they would get the message. We must expose the Truth of what Jesus is warning Pergamum and us against what is being perpetuated in the current culture without restraint.
