My people, you are living in sobering times. This doesn’t mean you should be afraid. Quite the opposite, you are My children and I’m calling you to set the pace, change the atmosphere, and bring Kingdom culture. To this end, however, I’m requiring you to step up into a higher tier.
As you go about your everyday life, take heed to what and who is around you. Ask Me to enhance your discernment. Remember that My Word says:
They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
John 17:16 (AMP)
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a [special] people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
1 Peter 2:9 (AMP)
for you have been born again [that is, reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose] not of seed which is perishable but [from that which is] imperishable and immortal, that is, through the living and everlasting word of God.
1 Peter 1:23 (AMP)
Therefore don’t allow sin to soil you, whatever that may look like.
Be attuned to the melody of My spirit in order to recognise immediately what is off-key. I am sending you like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes (Matthew 10:16) and read the enemy’s ambush to gain ground.
A Hard Road before Them
“Listen carefully: I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be wise as serpents, and innocent as doves [have no self-serving agenda].
Matthew 10:16 (AMP)
Activation:
Read Matthew 13:24-30.
Weeds among Wheat
24 Jesus gave them another parable [to consider], saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed [a]weeds [resembling wheat] among the wheat, and went away.
26 So when the plants sprouted and formed grain, the weeds appeared also.
27 The servants of the owner came to him and said, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then how does it have weeds in it?’
28 He replied to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants asked him, ‘Then do you want us to go and pull them out?’
29 But he said, ‘No; because as you pull out the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them.
30 Let them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First gather the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
Matthew 13:24-30 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Matthew 13:25 Lit tares.
Then ponder on the following verses:
v.25: What could the tares that have been sown in your field without you realising it look like? Ask the Lord to search your heart and reveal any bitter root that might attempt to corrupt its purity.
v.26-29: Scripture describes God’s children as “good seed”. Life happens however, and you inevitably come across “bad seeds”. Enquire of the Holy Spirit what is a tailor-made strategy to live with them without being affected by them.
v.30: We should all have a heart for lost souls. Pray to be stirred in the spirit and be active in soul harvesting for the Kingdom. Receive any blueprint of what your type of evangelisation may look like in this upcoming season.
