Separation

( * This is a blog i wrote back in February of 2011 that i was led by the Holy Spirit's prompting to re-post. i pray that whoever this is meant to speak and minister to will accomplish what He wants to do in your heart as you seek Abba Father's will for your life.)


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 legalistic nature 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 Father'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 Yahweh has tailored 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 Jesus on that Narrow path. That's 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.


Matthew 10:22
And ye shall be hated of all men for My Name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.


It is by Abba Father'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 God.

As the familiar saying goes, "Where the rubber meets the road." This is the moment of Truth I heard the Holy Spirit 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 the Lord of Hosts. 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 the Spirit'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. But for those true believers in Christ 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.

Lev 15:31 Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.

Mat 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

Luk 6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
2Co 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Keeping it Real

I want to give some of you who read this blog more clarification for this separation Abba is bringing me into. As I have said in that recent post, I am being called away from the social networking as Spirit is weening me more and more from the net itself. That does not mean that anyone has offended me which has caused this direction to recently take place in my life. But it has to do with what I am hearing and aligning my own life with personally to KEEP to the road. A deeper focus in prayer, fasting intercession, fellowship time with Abba, homeschooling, spending more time with my family, reading, and yielding more of my LOUSY sinful flesh and nature in death to the cross by the power of His Spirit.

There have been some very strenuous and difficult stuff going on recently in our community that is too grieve-some to get into. So I have taken a break from receiving any comments, etc on my blogger to de-stress. Abba has called me to scale down to what I can keep now until further notice. My blogger, Reverbnation and my e-mail address I have had for over 10 years. Everything else had to go! This also included the two e-mails I had from my first facebook account and the gmail I was using for my second facebook account. You will also notice I cleaned up my blogger to put up some videos, website links, etc, that are near and dear to my heart. Sites that deal with my personal walk and spiritual journey. Classic saints who have influenced my life greatly in my early days of following Jesus that encouraged a deeper desire to walk the narrow road. A returning back to my first love where I have personally strayed, as I work out my salvation with fear and trembling.

We each have to (personally) be accountable to how, to what and to where Abba is leading us in our spiritual Journey here. WHEREVER that may take us! Sometimes He has us stand alongside a group, (ministry, tribe or whatever you want to call it) a few scattered here and there, maybe one or two, and ultimately when things converge as we are seeing happening before our very eyes, ALONE! I have been hearing this loud and clear with what Spirit has been saying to very few who are being led the same Way. This has stirred up some intense seeking and talking to Abba about returning to more simplicity and pulling out from the mind control and trappings of the net. Since Abba called me to a 10 day fast (and some recent fasts)and being more diligent in prayer that began a few months ago, I have gotten more clarity and a sharper sense of hearing along with the energy I was lacking for over two years.

 I am not doing the chat and forum networking I have done in the past.  I love you all, I REALLY DO! I pray each and every one of you who read these blogs and His Body will do Abba's will, HEAR and LISTEN to His voice. It is CRUCIAL for this hour we all are in. It's now time for me to seek Him one on one without all the distractions of the net and where others are going at this time. 

There is so much more I can say, but I believe it is not necessary to so indulge what Spirit doesn't want communicated.  It is my desire to remain open and transparent with where Spirit is leading me as He wills. There is a time to be open and a time to pull back and keep silent.

I couldn't write this earlier than now, because I was in too much pain from all the stress I was dealing with.

Keep your eyes, heart, mind, soul and spirit on JESUS! The author and perfecter of our faith. Love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength! Do likewise and love your neighbor as yourself. Forgive as Abba forgives you your MANY trespasses.
