Last Days Gathering

Last Days Gathering  -  Ninety six

     There are coming many false teacher and religious leaders who will expound false truth.  This is not something that you have not been warmed about.  Itching ears and comfort are not new.  What will surprise you is how many of these false teachers and religious leaders will come from churches and denominations you never thought this could happen.  The fight for truth among the people of God has been always fierce.  Those who wish to accommodate and those who miss to stand on and for the truth.       

      Sadly the lines between these two camps have grown wider and wider.  There is no dialogue between them.  Battle lines have been drawn, assumptions made and walls of division had been made.  Unforgiveness and suspicion are rampant among my people.  There are not many attempts any more.    Those who make the attempt to heal and minister in love are viewed as heretics, liberal lovers or worst.  Paul taught in Ephesians that we are to make every effort to keep the unity of the faith. 

     The Lord wants those who stand for truth and know the truth to make one more effort to reach out to the lost, the confused and the spiritually deceived.  Reach out in compassion, love and grace.  Do not come across as a person with an agenda or with a judgmental tone.  This will immediately set up the walls.  Also do not use the Word as a hammer or broadsword but a scalpel to cut away with care and love their arguments to stay in darkness.  The Holy Spirit wants them back and it is the churches job to go and find them and if possible bring them back in. 

     Remember they are lost and confused.  Remember the story of the prodigal.  He came to his senses and came back.  Many of those who have gone astray still remember with fondness their relationship with me.  They are afraid to come back because they fear rejection, judgment and misunderstanding.  Be like the Father in the prodigal.  Look for them and love unconditionally.  It is not about how holy or righteous you feel.  It is about a sinner come back to God.  Do not every compromise on your beliefs but be willing to restore with love, acceptance and forgiveness.  Those who sincerely wish to return.  When I see this happen I will bring them back to you.  You do your part and I will do mine.
