Prophetic Words For Today's Discerning Christian

One in Spirit and in Truth
(Divine or Devilish, The Holy Spirit or Tares and Apostasy)

This is what the Sovereign Lord says,

“The Spirit gives life, the flesh counts for nothing (John 6:63). The arm of the flesh is long and far-reaching, and if not crucified, can, and will make a reproduction of the true Church. Satan and his demonic hordes are always on the lookout for those they can work through to counterfeit the real thing. Many are ordained of men to do the work of God, but what is required in this hour is men and women ordained of God to do His will.

“If the Bride is not truly besotted by the Groom, it is only a matter of time before she could become bewitched by another. In every generation, there are those who have Divine appointments with the Holy Spirit, only later to be deceived by a devilish appointment and another spirit, which lures them away from the truth. They become confused and can become willing receptacles of the deceiver, the father of lies. Instead of becoming one in spirit and in truth with the Holy Spirit, they become of two minds, two opinions, double-minded and unstable in all they do.

“The Body of Christ (the Church) is made up of individuals who should all be of one Spirit and one Truth. There should be unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace; one Body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all. Different gifts, but one Spirit, different kinds of service, but one Lord, different ministries, but one God.

“If you abide in Me, you shall remain a part of the Vine; those who choose not to abide cannot remain. If you do not abide or remain, you will not be able to discern My voice. If you are not truly a part of the Vine, you will be like a branch that is thrown away, outside My hedge of protection. Those who say they are My friends yet refuse to do what I command are deceived. If you are unwilling to love others as I have loved you, then you remain a servant, not a friend and cannot know My business.

“Those who are half-hearted will be thrown into the fire, but those who remain and are pruned become clean and fruitful. As they continue to abide in Me they shall be ignited, set ablaze by My Spirit and on fire for Me and My glory. When My Church is truly on fire, the world will turn up to see it burn. As the breath of My Spirit blows on the glowing embers, so shall tongues of fire come upon others, who in turn will become firebrands who will awaken those who are asleep without hope. If the body of man is dead without his spirit then it follows that a church without My Spirit is also dead. Consider these things carefully in light of My Word, for apostasy has taken root in the Church, be warned repent or perish.”
