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.

The grassy knoll between the Broad and Narrow Road

On Sunday when I was alone at home, I had some time to take a hot Epsom salt de-stress bath. Whenever I get the opportunity, I find it is a GOOD time to pray and get more personal with Abba without any distractions. While praying, Spirit gave me a revelation of that place most " Christians"  are straddling between. I envisioned as He was showing me a grassy strip like ditch that paralleled in-between the broad road on the left and the narrow road on the right. It is that place of compromise. Having the one hand, foot and mouth that is near Him on the narrow road, and their other hand, foot and heart that is far from Him on the broad road (the world ie the flesh) leading to destruction. 

He also showed me that the middle ground is the mixture of both hot and cold. What did Yahweh call that, beloved? LUKEWARM! Those walking on this path (grassy knoll) are the very ones Abba said He will SPIT (like a rolled up bolus) out of His mouth! What do you do when you taste something you think would taste good only to find it tastes BAD? You SPIT IT OUT WITH SUCH FORCE to get every bit of it's awful taste from out of your mouth!

What Spirit revealed about those who draw followers by putting themselves up in a position of teaching, deliverance, evangelism, the prophetic or any other self proclaimed ministries, (who are walking along that middle ground) are doing a number of things which makes what they do rather complex, confusing, dangerous and subtle in their attempt to GROOM and disciple their followers who become twice the sons and daughters of hell as they themselves are. 


There is that spiritual part in them reaching out for the narrow road with their right hand, and yet with their left they CANNOT let go of their flesh. They have justified their being entertained by the world and all the things that come with it which ABBA hates and tells us to separate ourselves from, and as they have been sore deceived and convinced it's ok to enjoy, while reaching for the narrow road. 

This is why you find so much flesh battles going on. This is our adversaries main arsenal. To use these ones to either pull those walking the narrow road into the middle where they are and/or pull those from the broad road to their counterfeit Christianity of compromise that mixes light with darkness, hot with cold. The gray is not pleasant at all to look at, but rather depressing. Nor is that mixture of warm and cold something you want to drink to quench your thirst on a very hot humid day or a hot cup of tea, hot chocolate and coffee that warms up your insides. These self proclaimed grassy knoll dwellers who SAY they have been called into  "  the ministry,"  (Take your pick) are themselves very unteachable, unbroken, PROUD, BOASTFUL, INSOLENT, Angry (which they justify by calling such hateful angry actions, righteous indignation.)STIRRING UP STRIFE and Discord among the brethren, gossipers, finger pointers, persecutors who malign, slander, LIE, GANG STALK, game and attack those who have counted the cost of walking the narrow road FEW find leading to Life.

They go after the weak and innocent lambs in hopes to take them under their wing to disciple them into their sinister compromised path leading to hell and eternal separation from Abba Father. They WIN souls from the broad road to this same hellish path they themselves are on. Does it mean those who are on that path cannot repent and go on the narrow road? NO, but they need to REPENT! This strong Word given by Spirit is an exhortation that begs examining my own heart as well as those being caught up in the DRAMA of these middle of the roadsters.

Spirit unveiled something to me a few days ago when He said, PICK YOUR BATTLES! I mused over that and in Spirit during this dialog it was revealed that MOST of the battles we engage in with our brothers and sisters we are called to stand along side of are nothing short of FLESHLY battles. Whether it be with just one or two we talk about who may be misleading, deceiving and so on, or out in the open like (twofacedbook / fakebook) and other socialistic networks where these kind of fleshly battles of for and against RAGE ON!

What He has personally called me to do is PRAY in secret. To go to Abba in that place where I go to get personal with Him about those who are causing such strife, confusion and discord. Not to engage or character assassinate those who we rightfully feel they deserve to be who are hurting and causing those weak in the faith to stumble. By getting caught up in it myself is a big distraction,it becomes very wearisome, a soap opera of the endless ongoing drama that robs me of my Peace I am thus called to seek. Seek peace and pursue it; Let peace rule in your heart; Abba is the author of peace and not confusion; If at possible be at peace with all men..... 

It doesn't mean you agree with these game playing stalkers either. For me it means to take it to ABBA and not one another to flesh it out. When Spirit reveals to me personally who these consistent game players are, especially those who have been given years and many opportunities to repent who come back and do more damage? Then I follow Spirit and stay away from these soulless ones by not getting caught up in their deception. I will obey Spirit over man. I cannot save them, only Spirit can.
