Luke 12:51-53 “Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I have come to divide people against each other! From now on families will be split apart, three in favor of me, and two against – or two in favor and three against. Father will be divided against son and son against father; mother against daughter and daughter against mother; and mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
While this has always been true, it is true now more than ever. You see the divisions that have been brought about by your enemy? You see how easily my children take sides, push each other away, live in fear and hatred of each other? Though that is not how I would have you live, I will take advantage of it. The division that matters is this: who believes in me and who doesn’t. That is the only division that is real and that matters. Your enemy knows this and keeps you all distracted by the noise of race, gender, economics, trust/mistrust in government, trust/mistrust in “science”, trust/mistrust in the medical community and specifically today in the “vaccine” and other COVID issues, political issues, marriage and especially religion/spirituality. Do not be distracted. Bring every decision to me, pray, study my Word and then stand firm in what you believe. Do not allow yourself to be drawn into the anger and warring of the day. Do not allow yourself to be bated into treating others harshly or into using violence to protect your views. Do not allow yourself to be taken off my path – in any way. And do not ever stop speaking of me, teaching about me, guiding others to me, and standing up for and demonstrating my values. Be that light on a hilltop. Do not cover your light in any way. If you feel it dimming, stop right away and seek me. Even I had to go away and be alone to commune with my Father. Even I had to step away from ministering and go into solitary prayer, especially as the time drew near for my death. Do not allow yourself to become so busy in the battle that you sacrifice time with me. This is the crucial element of your success. Pray that the Holy Spirit accompany you in every conversation, every meeting, every time you go out into public. Always be a demonstration of me, not of yourself. In order to do that, you must stay close at all times. (2021)
