A vision given by the Holy Spirit on June 14, 2013 — The Civil War v. The Holy Civil War:
"Here is how my church shall be: a glorious church. In these churches iron sharpens iron and they will move in accordance to my word, and in Godly order. Likewise, may will come for refreshing, refining, truth, putting aside all differences, controversies, idols, that would lead you away from me. One church, one spirit. Not many churches. Not many agendas. Not many denominations. But one, in unity, and in one accord, to please, serve and make me first."
"Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. for I have come to 'set man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law' and 'a man's enemies will be those of his household.' He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it. " — Matthew 10: 34-39
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.
— Micah 7: 5-6
I do not wonder that such who have their lot in this life should seek after carnal merriment, fleshly pleasures, and the giddy dance. What have they more? It is not astonishing to see the swine greedy at the trough, pushing one another aside as they struggle to get their wash. But when those who have been redeemed with a strong hand and an outstretched arm sink into worldly conformity, worse, because more deadening, than the slavery of Egypt, then indeed we see the sad havoc sin can work, and mourn because of it. — Charles Spurgeon, April 2, 1891
Is the world crucified to you tonight? Or does it fascinate you? — Leonard Ravenhill
