The Spirit Of Diotrephes Lives On

 

Those who would presume to judge My prophets are a foolhardy lot, for they have forgotten that it is I who establishes one as such. Yet, again and again, this behavior occurs, for willful ignorance and self-exaltation still dwell within the Church; and so the spirit of Diotrephes lives on.

 

So even now My “mouthpieces” are bullied into silence, for their fellow brethren, those who desire a prominent position amongst the assemblies, seek to discredit others that speak with a higher authority, as their hearts yearn to be seated above the rest. With fleshly tools their platforms are erected, as it is their own hands that have built these lofty towers. Then with an air of superiority do these self-appointed leaders assert their dominance, using maligning words to cut the legs out from under their brethren, especially those who walk in My authority.

 

So beware, dear ones, for the spirit of Diotrephes is a relentless foe who will not easily give up once he is allowed in amongst you; and will look for every opportunity to place himself as top dog within your assemblies, thus pressuring all to yield control to him. Heed, then, these words of caution: for though much change is coming upon the Church in this season, those demonic forces roaming the earth remain the same, and, as such, will seek to exploit any fleshly weakness found in My children. Remember, none who are Mine are called to take a backseat to anyone but were created to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with their fellow brethren.

 

So place a guard over your own hearts and keep a vigilant eye upon My households, lest the spirit of Diotrephes is given permission to enter. For his destructive nature will quickly hamper My building efforts by creating breaches of division along newly formed lines.

 

“I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who want to and puts them out of the church.” 3 John 1:9-10

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.
