A STRONG WORD
Shared through Yolanda Ballard
This is probably a word I would not run to share on many of the
popular sites or groups here on Facebook. I don't open myself up for
opposition unless I know for sure God is saying to do it, but on my
wall I have the freedom with the expense of people un-friending me.
This is a strong word but out of obedience I speak it. I have been a
Spirit filled born again believer in Christ Jesus for 42 years and I am
grieved at the state of the church, the deception that has gained
access to it! I've been through all kinds of movements in the Church
and yes, many types of deceptions in these movements! I came out
of a very legalistic church and have prayed the Lord would bring
balance in my life of His grace and truth.
When I first got saved, believers in Christ were repenting for
teaching their children a lie and that was relating to Santa Claus.
Now I see it brought forth over the pulpit. Yes, this is shocking and
we have a choice to join in with the deception by overlooking it or
separating from it because you don't know how deep that deception
is. A little leaven can leaven the whole loaf. It is the little foxes that
spoil the vine!
At times I felt my walk was too hard to bear to be separate from the
multitudes who have the freedom to do things I know God said not
to. I have been with many who felt the Lord told them to not to those
things that are of the traditions of men and then years later returned
to those things they said God told them not to do. Yes, I know we
miss it thinking God says not to do certain things, but those things
that stem out of the occult, from lies and deceptions, from pagan
worship, God said to not touch the unclean thing and come out from
them.
The price is high to pay and your reputation but what is better to
have that place in Him where He can trust you with His glory
because you don't care what people think or to have those things
that only satisfy for a season but opens you up to that which
separates you from His holiness. We all have to test the waters and
know where to step by His leading but these are serious times with
deceptions lurking high with the enemy going about like a roaring
lion seeking who he can devour. These are the times of the Great
Apostasy and it all starts with satisfying the flesh rather than
crucifying it. The Lord said He would turn us over to the spirit of
delusion if we have itching ears looking for those things our flesh
delights in hearing!
My husband said for me to speak out but I said I rather not. They
don't want to hear but I feel I needed to obey my husband since he is
the priest of the house. If we don't speak out and one dies in their
sin, their blood will be upon our hands, so I speak out not a popular
message. I've been accused of being like an old testament prophet
with my messages which will not be allowed in the prophetic schools
raising up the young in the Lord.
Woe to those who deprive God's people of the truth when it comes
strong. Some have said I was a prophet but that is one thing I have
never called myself but I do think about it because of my walk and
what others have said to me where I was not accepted. This goes to
whoever has the ears to hear whoever the Spirit speaks it to in Jesus
name.
