The Seeds Of Discord

 

Those whose feet are bound to the shoes of peace are not to walk as do the heathen, who are easily provoked and drawn into pointless arguments.

 

Then any who say, “I follow Christ”, should refrain from this behavior, whether it be a face-to-face confrontation or stirring up dissension through the means of social media platforms. For a contentious remark or sharp retort does not promote the love of Christ, to which each of My own was called to exemplify.

 

Yet because, in today’s culture, it is common to voice one’s opinion for all to hear, even when the stated sentiment is knowingly provocative, the launching of a verbal jab at those thought to be opponents has been normalized, even among My children: those who are no longer to pattern themselves after this world. And since this trend has been embraced by many believers, these brethren, instead of proclaiming the gospel of peace, have in mind to set others straight about where to stand on current societal and political issues. Though some may throw in a Scriptural reference or two to support their position, still the underlying motivation is pride, as the real intention is to prove that what they believe is right.

 

So then, this preoccupation with being “heard” must cease, as this is a fleshly compulsion that has yet to be crucified by the power of the Cross, where the “old nature” is exchanged for the “new” found in Christ. However, to be freed from this sinful habit will involve ‘denial’, where its pull is instead answered with self-control, which will thereby deny the working of the flesh. Yet this internal battle shall not be won overnight, but victory will be awarded to those who persevere and are determined to overcome.

 

Then know that continuing to engage in silly arguments is futile, and only serves to bolster your flesh. For how many, if any at all, are won over by your vain ramblings or petty diatribes? Then recognize that each rebuff you received was unnecessary, yet is expected when someone chooses to sow the seeds of discord into the lives of others.

 

Then, to those of you who have knowingly offended, quickly make amends by offering the branch of peace so that you once again dwell in a more harmonious state with strangers and neighbors alike.

 

Remember, dear ones, you are ambassadors of My Kingdom, those who represent to this world what it means to be a child of the Living God. Therefore preach the Good News to anyone who will listen, but let it come from a heart filled with love and compassion, one that longs to see the souls of others resting in My perfect peace. For then they, too, will have traveled the joyous road to salvation.

 

“Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. And the Lord\’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.” -2 Timothy 2:23-26

Israel: Ruination Is Indeed Your Lot!

Hear Me, Israel: “…there shall be no avoiding the coming retribution, as surely have you acted out of turn, and took into your hands that which did not belong to you. Then do not think, Israel, that you are off the hook. For surely before Me do you stand guilty as charged, and so shall I repay you, Israel, the due penalty you are owed for the atrocities you are even now committing! “Woe, then do I say to you, Israel, woe. For ruination is indeed your lot!’

Let The Stargazers Appear

Even still shall those stargazers come forth, as they will lead My children back to those ancient paths which have long been forgotten. And so is a renaissance coming; yet is it already here. However, “unexpected” shall this renewal be, for most would not even think that I would point My children back to gazing at the stars. Yet is that precisely My aim, for there is much to uncover down that ancient route. And so do I say now, “Let the stargazers appear!”

More Disruptions Are Coming!

Indeed then, have I come in this hour to disrupt the systems and structures of the Church. Thus am I now speaking, “Disrupt, disrupt, disrupt! For I am not content to leave things as they are and, as such, the status quo must now be disrupted. For far too long has the Church been sitting back and simply resting upon her laurels.” Then let the Church now be forewarned, for more disruptions are coming!
