For the last week, the Lord was speaking to me regarding this season. In conversation, He reminded me of what He spoke at the beginning of the year; that this would be a season where bad shepherds would be exposed, and then a separation of the sheep from the sheep would take place (Video: Prophecy Update 2024 - A Year of Distress).
This was a year of refinement; where the Lord had the sheep to pass under the rod of correction, with instructions given, to see who would obey (although He knew who would and wouldn't). The Spirit of the Lord spoke and He saw who harkened unto His voice, and who hardened their hearts.
As a watchman and prophet, this has been a very difficult season; as I've watched souls get trapped in [earthly] filters because they're anchored to a life that's passing away. I've watched people compromise truth just to save face, because they would crumble under the idea of not having their family, friends, ministry, or platform. I've watched many be deceived by familiar spirits, divinations, and false hope.
All the while, I myself, had to pass under that rod [of correction] and had to keep my heart before the cross and the throne, praying each day that the Spirit of Truth will continuously dwell in me. I learned that those who claimed to be brethren where quick to close the door once I spoke truth. Nevertheless, I had to walk in forgiveness, fight NOT to defend myself, and stay a student in the classroom of the Most High.
The Lord spoke to me on Wednesday and said, "The time of persecution is at hand. The persecution will not only come from the external, but tell my children it will come from within. For not everyone who says 'Lord, Lord' is of My Kingdom. This is the season of the separation of the sheep from the sheep. You will stand alone, but know that you are not alone, for I AM with you. And as I anointed Stephen to speak before the Sanhedrin, I will also anoint my chosen to speak before their enemies in this hour. Be faithful, even unto death, and I will clothe you with a robe of righteousness and give you a crown of life. Behold, I come quickly."
I want to encourage the remnant. I want to remind you that we are once again the "called out ones." We are being called out of a tainted religious system that has gone apostate. A system that is full of pride, greed, compromise, divination, and perversion. A system that serves mammon and man and not the Spirit of Truth. A system that knocks down the poor and raises the rich. A system bent on [false] prophecy [accurate divination] while producing rotten fruit.
Paul warned that they will call "peace and safety" and then sudden destruction will fall upon them.
Yet, even with what I have shared, I compel each of you to take this to prayer. Hear Him For Yourself! Know the voice of The King, The Good Shepherd, and the Spirit of Truth that will NOT lead you astray, nor is the author of confusion.
I'll leave you with these scriptures given:
And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write, These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. -Revelation 2:8-10
Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. -Matthew 24:21-22
And many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow wax cold. -Matthew 24:10-12
The day of your watchman and your punishment comes; now shall be their perplexity. Do not trust in a friend; do not put your confidence in a companion; guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom. For son dishonors father, daughter rises against her mother, daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own household. Therefore I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me. -Micah 7:4-7
