Cast Off Your Formal Attire

 

With a bold display of pageantry My troops have marched out onto the field; dressed in formal attire they have strutted about as if proud peacocks displaying their plumage. For though these soldiers regularly boast of My army’s strength and might, when I issued the latest ‘call to arms’, the overwhelming response was slight, with most under My command unwilling to give up their extravagant events and weekly displays of showmanship to instead don their battle fatigues and step into the trenches of warfare.

 

So, as if ordered by some heavenly edict to line up in “parade formation” each week, the bulk of My army gathers, pacing the cadence of their carefully orchestrated processions to fill a specific allotment of time, where each movement is choreographed from beginning to end so that the whole assembly is kept to a spiritually restrictive plan.

 

But when did I ask My troops to gather in this fashion? Who told them that this rote formation of meeting weekly was per My design? While some believe there to be a higher spiritual significance to these customary gatherings, in actuality, this tradition of assembling was established by man.

 

Yet since, for centuries, the practice of Sunday worship has been widely accepted, not only within the Church, but also society at large, shaking this mindset from within My Body shall prove challenging for most, because this generation of believers, as with those in the past, won’t be easily persuaded to let go of their religious practices: those days, dates, times, and customs they’ve determined as being more sacred than others.

 

Although the pandemic lockdowns where given as an opportunity to break away from this religious bondage, because the majority of My troops misunderstood the freedom I was offering in those moments, the assumption was made that this change to their routine was an enemy attack, and so, they fought until their meeting halls were once again opened.

 

Sadly, in this nation, the overall view of believers has been extremely shortsighted, for like King Hezekiah, who was only concerned with peace in his days (though trouble was predicted for those who came after him), they too just want to be left in peace so that their weekly assemblies can go on as before; unconcerned that holding on to these religious practices will have a negative impact on the Church as a whole.

 

Then a shift in perspective must come upon My children, where those shallow thoughts are exchanged for the broader vision of My Kingdom, so that those who now line My ranks have their focus set beyond the length of their own days, and thereby desire to partner with My greater advancement plan, thus making it much easier for the implementation of this divine strategy to be carried into each successive generation of believers.

 

So in the coming days, when your usual gatherings are again challenged, don’t become incensed and assemble in protest. Understand that this outside pressure is meant to dislodge My troops from their old traditions and structures so that a much stronger and more unified army can be built.

 

Therefore, cast off your formal attire now, and clothe yourselves in battle fatigues; for it is time to prepare for the fight just ahead, as the enemy is set to launch an all-out assault against the Church. Stop longing to maintain a sense of normalcy, for surely in this season, “change” shall abound, as it is during these days that I have come to usher a new paradigm into the Church: one that resembles an ancient model and flows in sync with My eternal purposes.

 

“Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the Lord: The time will surely come when everything in your palace, and all that your predecessors have stored up until this day, will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the Lord. And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood who will be born to you, will be taken away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.” “The word of the Lord you have spoken is good,” Hezekiah replied. For he thought, “Will there not be peace and security in my lifetime?” -2 Kings 20:16-19

Severe All Ties!

Then to those who claim to be My own, and yet are still tethered to the LGBTQ+ ideology do I say, “Severe all ties! For that perverse ideology runs contrary to the standards of holiness I have established for My Kingdom. Then do not confuse the tolerance of perversity as an act of Christ-like love, for My Son never compromised with evil, but always challenged those He encountered to turn away from their sin and, instead, follow Him wholeheartedly, where their entire life did they surrender to Him.”

You Have Indeed Been Called To Fish!

Therefore do I say to this generation of believers, “Get up out of your seats, and gather your nets, for the fish are biting and you too have been called to fish, for the Great Commission applies to all of My children. So then don’t think yourself unqualified to fish or that the task of fishing belongs to another, for that is simply not true.” Thus do I say, “Stop making excuses as to why you aren’t able to fish. Instead, get up out of your seats and gather your nets.” For I say to you now, “You have indeed been called to fish!”

The Admonition Of The Lord, Who Will Receive It?

The admonition of the Lord, who will receive it? Who will take to heart My words of correction and then amend their ways? Very few, it would appear! Even still do I make My Will known so that none can claim to be ignorant of it. Sadly then are My words of admonition often treated as false or even called demonic by those who refuse to change their ways.

An Abrupt End!

An abrupt end; Marked by failure; Thus shall Trump’s last term in office be remembered. For though he promised much, little of those promises did he actually fulfill regardless of what he claims. Misleading, his words; Deliberately so; For surely did he say one thing while meaning another. Yet did the American people take him at his word, for they thought him to have their best interests at heart.
