SEPARATION


Before laying the groundwork of what it means to be separate which is a work the Holy Spirit brings His own into, I need to share a few things first. In the beginning of the week not long after I woke up, I heard Spirit say, " SEPARATION." Whenever I hear Abba's Spirit give me a Word like that or a title of some sort, I know it is either A song getting ready to open up or a Word He wants to deliver and share on my blog. I knew instantly it would be something He wanted me to blog. I was given bits and pieces of what He was showing me as I will now share with you who have ears to hear.


Throughout my spiritual journey I have been called to separation of one kind or another. IN fact it is a process we go through if one is willing and open for this to occur. Like stages or levels of separation. When we are ready for this to happen, it will brings us further and deeper on the Narrow road most avoid and don't want to travel. Why? Because it is a LONELY path, one filled with much suffering, spiritual discipline, persecution, hatred, stalking, DEATH to SELF and SEPARATION from loved ones, friends, church, those who compromise and have gone apostate, etc.

We are called to COME OUT and be separate from the world and apostate Christianity that is INSANELY increasing by the droves ALL around us.



This is the STIGMA to what it means to be separate. On the one hand it would appear to some that to take such a stand you are bordering on legalism. Well, for any of you out there reading this who know ANYTHING about me? You have seen and experienced just how much I HATE and despise legalism and the prevalent religious spirit. True legalism is working out your salvation through your own means and FLESH as a way of keeping to strict laws and a strenuous effort to please God with misguided passion in condemnation to those who do not share in their self righteous enthusiasm. I have found these true to their nature legaslist QUITE OBNOXIOUS!!!

Does that mean we are to abandon living uprightly before the Lord? As Paul would say, " MAY IT NEVER BE!" It is Spirit who works this life of righteous holy living of Abba's perfection in us. IF, we are willing to follow the narrow road. In other words, NOT take the easy way out, even if it HURTS and causes your flesh to say OUCH! Our flesh is at ENMITY (vehemently apposes) God. It needs to DIE DAILY and be NAILED to the cross! The easy way is the broad road to destruction that MANY are either presently on or will soon be traveling when times get SO HARD and humanly UNBEARABLE to endure. Only those who HEED the call to this holy sanctified separation from the world, flesh and apostasy will make it to the end of the road Abba has taylored for each of us individually.



You see the LAW is man's attempt at pleasing God and the sold out follower of Christ is one who picks up his cross, dies to self and follows Yeshua on that Narrow path. That is the only path to take leading to eternal Life. There is NO WAY to get around it, over it or under it! You have to go through it and stay the course to the end. When you reach that end? That is when true Salvation occurs.(For he who endured till the END will be saved) It is by Abba's Spirit that He has given to us as a deposit, a comforter who brings us into ALL Truth and the power to overcome every demonic assault that comes at us from our adversary and his minions in their desperate attempt to get us off this path. His Spirit also gives us the power, strength and endurance to travel this hard road throughout our journey here.

What I find from those who may not understand this call to separation is this. I call it mis-discernment. You have to be careful not to mix the two. Legalism and the narrow road are diametrically opposed to each other and yet many mistake those called on this road a LEGALIST! Once you understand what a true legalist is and what a pure hearted follower of Christ is you cannot make such an assumption or discern wrongly. Now those pseudo carnal Christians out there (APOSTATES!)will be the very ones to slander, revile, persecute and put to death those called to this separation by Abba.

As the familiar saying goes, "Where the rubber meets the road." This is the moment of Truth I heard Abba say to me personally. "I am calling you to a final separation." WOW, that's pretty serious! What does that really mean for me? A LOT! This is what I got from His Word.


Matthew 25:6-10

6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

* This is where I believe this final separation comes in to get ones life in absolute spiritual order and follow closely to ABBA. To walk in Spirit and not in our flesh, To watch and pray, To separate ourselves from those who would cause us to compromise, To LISTEN and walk in obedience to Abba's will and to walk firmly and earnestly on the narrow road that only a few we meet along the Way travel

8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

9But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

* This is the FATE and destiny for those FOOLISH apostates who scorn, laugh and think they can enter into his Kingdom by their ministries, how much scripture they can quote, who they rebuke, call out and chastise, preach another gospel, lie and sow discord and hatred among the brethren. For those who are ready the door will in no wise be shut)


Matt 24:45-47:

"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes will find so doing. Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions."

* NOT IN THIS LIFE, but in heaven where neither moth nor rust will destroy.

"But if that wicked servant says to himself, 'My master is delayed,' and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eats and drinks with the drunken, the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will punish him, and put him with the hypocrites; there men will weep and gnash their teeth."

* Such admonition cannot be taken lightly in this LATE hour we find ourselves in.

  1. My Dear Linda,
    I was so happy and also proud of you for taking this 'stance', as Now__is the time more than ever before. Trying days are ahead, and the only way we will sustain, is by "Walking in the Spirit" and abiding next to the heart of our Master. Coming out and being 'separate' is the key, the only key to resting in His peace, and total care. There is Nothing, I do mean NOTHING, left in this world, that ahould have any 'hold' to the life of a devoted believer. All is so temporary, phoney and ill directed, the 'traps' are everywhere, but none lead to "life". I am ever so happy, thankful, and uplifted myself when I see a another believer go all the way with our Master. Praise Yahweh and Yahshua..That is the only Haven of Rest on this earth, and is the "Rose Garden of Life Eternal" Bless you always for a Beautiful Blog with wonderful Inspiration and TRUTH~~ Love__Ruthann Lange
