TAKE HEED:
The satanic agenda of the enemy in this hour is to deceive the light, to remove the light.
To those the Father has called to open their mouths to speak TRUTH IN LOVE with the leading of His Holy Spirit, DO NOT BACK DOWN. The light of Jesus Christ shines through you, and you must let it shine in the darkest of times no matter who listens, receives it, like you, or not (Matthew 5:14). If you allow the enemy to deceive you by speaking lies to you into keeping quiet when you should be sounding the alarm, the blood of those people, cities, nations will be on your hands.
"When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand." Ezekiel 3:18
TAKE HEED:
When the light is removed, darkness prevail. Jesus said He was building a church that the gates of hell will not prevail against (Matthew 16:18). If the gates of hell is prevailing in our cities, homes, churches we must then ask ourselves where is the light? Where is the church? Where is the Ecclesia? Where are the ones who walk in their God-given authority?
Ephesians 6:12 says, "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
In Luke 10:19 Jesus GIVES HIS DISCIPLES AUTHORITY to trample on snakes and scorpions and to OVERCOME THE POWER OF THE ENEMY. In Matthew 10:1 He calls them to Himself and GIVES THEM AUTHORITY TO CAST OUT UNCLEAN SPIRITS and to heal ALL sickness and diseases.
WE MUST ASK OURSELVES ARE WE DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST? His disciples are the ones with authority. The Word did not say He gave authority to those who believed that He is real or even profess that they are Christian. James 2:19 says that the demons believe and that they shuttered.
Disciples are learners, pupils, or FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST who SUBMITS TO HIS TEACHING, IMITATES HIS LIFE, and CARRIES ON HIS MISSION per Google from multiple sources. (Emphasis mines)
2 Corinthians 6:14, says "DO NOT be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For WHAT FELLOWSHIP HAS RIGHTEOUSNESS WITH LAWLESSNESS? And WHAT COMMUNION HAS LIGHT WITH DARKNESS?
What happens when those profess to be Christian sound like, look like, and act like those in the world with no knowledge or revelation on who Jesus really is? It weakens them. How can you be the light and walk in your God given authority when you yourself are overtaken by darkness? People need Jesus, because He has the power to change the trajectory of tragedies. He has the power to set people free.
Can you go into darkness to be the light and not be overcome by it?
TAKE HEED:
Are God's people being EQUIPPED PROPERLY? Do they have what they need when darkness increase in anyway to battle against demonic forces with strategy from heaven? I understand we should study the word to show ourselves approved, but God appoints the five-fold ministry to help EQUIP the saints. In any organization that calls themselves the church should have the five-fold ministry in place to help equip God's people properly. (Ephesians 4:11-13)
There is a ceiling in most churches. What I mean by that is you will only grow so far. There is a limit on how much they allow the Father to have His way in their churches leaving many that go there thirsty for more, because there is more.
TAKE HEED:
There are Christians in ankle and waist deep water who are allowing the enemy to use them to speak against others who are fulfilling the commission of Jesus Christ (Unfortunately, many are leading at some capacity). Why? When you are a person of FAITH, a person who hears and chooses to obey the Father despite the consequences, your obedience shines the light on their lack of faith and their unwillingness to completely surrender to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Luke 18:8 says, I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, WILL HE REALLY FIND FAITH ON THE EARTH?” Hebrews 11:6 says, "But without faith it is impossible to please Him...".
We are in the END TIMES with NO TIME to play church, but actually be the church. WHAT ARE WE DOING? LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE!
Matthew 5:14-16, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."
