DIVISION
THUS SAITH THE LORD:
“THINK NOT THAT I AM COME TO SEND PEACE ON EARTH: I CAME NOT NOT TO SEND PEACE, BUT A SWORD. (“machomai”, meaning, a knife, slaughter-knife, a sword for cutting, the sword of justice in relation to the executioner, to bear the sword, meaning to have the power of life and death, the sword as standing for war, as opposed to peace: Zodhiates) FOR I AM COME TO SET A MAN AT VARIANCE (“dichazo”, meaning, to divide in two, to set at variance, to excite one against another) AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND THE DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND THE DAUGHTER IN LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER IN LAW.
AND A MAN`S FOES (“echthros”, meaning, hatred,
enmity, hostile, inimical, an enemy, adversary, a person hated or rejected as
an enemy: Zodhiates) SHALL BE THEY OF HIS OWN HOUSEHOLD.” MATH. 10/34-36
“IF ANY MAN COME TO ME, AND HATE (“miseo”, meaning, to
hate, to detest, abhor, it is equivalent to not loving, loveless, to slight:
Zodhiates) NOT HIS FATHER, AND MOTHER, AND WIFE, AND CHILDREN, AND BRETHREN,
AND SISTERS, YEA AND HIS OWN LIFE ALSO, HE CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE. AND WHOSOEVER
DOTH NOT BEAR HIS CROSS, AND COME AFTER ME, CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE.” LUKE
14/26-27.
“SO LIKEWISE, WHOSOEVER HE BE OF YOU THAT FORSAKETH
NOT ALL THAT HE HATH, HE CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE.” LUKE 14/33.
AND AGAIN, “SUPPOSE YE THAT I AM COME TO GIVE PEACE ON
EARTH? I TELL YOU, NAY; BUT RATHER DIVISION: (“diamerismos”, meaning, to divide
up, division, apportionment, portion, dissension) FOR FROM HENCEFORTH THERE
SHALL BE FIVE IN ONE HOUSE DIVIDED, THREE AGAINST TWO AND TWO AGAINST THREE.
THE FATHER SHALL BE DIVIDED AGAINST THE SON, AND THE SON AGAINST THE FATHER;
THE MOTHER AGAINST THE DAUGHTER, AND THE DAUGHTER AGAINST THE MOTHER; THE
MOTHER IN LAW AGAINST HER DAUGHTER IN LAW, AND THE DAUGHTER IN LAW AGAINST HER
MOTHER IN LAW.” LUKE 12/51-53.
The other day we received a phone call from the Jezebel wife of one who has purposed, determined to “follow Him” no matter what the cost. The said woman complaining about her husband, (prisoner), seemingly doing nothing but speaking scripture and talking about the content of Straight Talk Ministries around the household. She, complaining, that all he ever talks about is scripture, the Bible, “The Word of the Lord”.
This female, this puppet of the devil, (WHO BY THE WAY, IS ONE OF THE MOB WHO LIKE TO HAVE THEIR EARS TICKLED WITH THE FEATHERY CHAFF OF PENTACOSTAL DIATRIBE, A TRUE RELIGIOUS HYPOCRITE), remonstrating to me vehemently over the phone, “I want you out of my house, (huh, how ridiculous was this statement, I have never even been to their house) I have given such and such notice, either he stops communicating and speaking what Straight Talk Ministries is saying, or he gets out. I have given him twelve months to do so”. Then she slammed the phone down in my ear.
This warfare, by the way, is the norm, especially when one “speaks the truth in love” to “those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,” (Heb. 6/4-5) seeing as how they have become “children of disobedience”, in rebellion rejecting truth and “stumbling” at “The Word of Truth” which Loving Father`s obedient servants put them in remembrance of: 1 Pet. 2/6-8.

DO YOU CONTEND, FIGHT, STAND, WAR AGAINST EVIL NO MATTER WHO IT IS, AND WHAT IT MIGHT COST YOU IN RELATIONSHIPS, FAMILY, FRIENDS ETC.?

OR ARE TRYING TO BUILD A REPUTATION AROUND TOWN, ESTABLISH YOURSELF AS A TOP BLOKE, A GOOD MINISTER, BECOME POPULAR, WIN
THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE MASSES:
BECOMING A,……………DELUDED, DECEIVED, PEOPLE PLEASING, JEZEBEL CONTROLLED, LUKEWARM, INSIPID RELIGIOUS HYPOCRITE THAT IS UNTHREATENING, UNCHALLENGING, UNCONVINCING IN YOUR DISCOURSE TO THE MASSES?
TRULY A MOULDED,………… MAN PLEASING PROSELYTE:…………………..
AND NOT A,……………………………..GOD PLEASER:……………………………
If you and your ministry is on song, in obedience to Loving Father Son and Holy Ghost, the above warfare should be part of your daily walk with Christ. When “The Word”, “Ho Logos”, “The Christ”, “The Son of God” shows up, THERE WILL BE DIVISION, DISSENSION, PAIN, DISCOMFORT. THE SPIRITUAL REALITY OF THE MATTER WILL BE EVIDENT, WHETHER ONE IS WILLING TO FORSAKE ALL TO FOLLOW HIM OR,…………. WHETHER ONE IS NOT WILLING TO CONFORM TO THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH, RECEIVE AND ACCEPT HOLY DIVINE WRIT:
WHETHER ONE IS A TRUE SON OF LOVING FATHER AND WELCOMES THE “SWORD” TO EXECUTE, SLAY, PUT TO DEATH THE FLESH, THE LIES AND CHAFF OF MEN AND THE DEVIL OR,…….. SQUEALS LIKE A STUCK PIG WHEN THE SWORD DIVIDES SOUL AND SPIRIT, REACTS, FIGHTS, CONTENDS, QUARRELS, ARGUES, REBELS AGAINST THE TRUTH, DEMONSTRATING AN UNWILLINGNESS TO SUBMIT TO BEING CHASTENED, CANNOT TRULY FORSAKE ALL, TAKE UP THE CROSS AND DENY SELF, LOVING NOT YOUR OWN LIFE UNTO DEATH:
SO,……….WHAT`S YOUR RESPONSE GOING TO BE NEXT TIME YOU ENCOUNTER THE ABOVE DIVISION BY THE SON OF GOD THAT HAPPENS TO EVERY FAMILY WHEN A HUNGRY SOUL REACHES OUT AND BECOMES BLESSED OF THE FATHER, RECEIVES THE TRUTH, STARTS TO SPEAK THE TRUTH, LIVE ACCORDING TO “THE WORD OF THE LORD”, STARTS TO EXPOSE THE REALITY OF THE SINFUL CONDITION OF THOSE CLOSE TO THEM AND THEIR NEED FOR SALVATION?
ARE YOU GOING TO POUR WATER ON THE FIRE, INTERFERE?...OR ARE YOU GOING TO GET YOUR HANDS OFF, STAND BACK AND ALLOW THE SON OF GOD TO SAVE, DIVIDE, SEPARATE WHEAT FROM CHAFF, WHEAT FROM TARES, TRUTH FROM FICTION, WEILD THE SWORD, WARNING THOSE WHO ARE IN SIN OF THEIR DEMISE IF THEY DO NOT REPENT, AND ALLOW THEM THE COURTESY OF DEMONSTRATING THEIR FREE WILL BY EITHER ACCEPTING OR REJECTING:
AND,………….PRAY FOR, COUNSEL, WISE UP, ENLIGHTEN, MINISTER THE TRUTH OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BELONG TO CHRIST, AND ENCOURAGE AND STAND BY THOSE WHO ENCOUNTER THIS WARFARE:
SO,………..ARE YOU A TRUE SOLDIER OF THE CROSS?
ONE WHO STANDS STOICK, STOUT AND RESOLUTE IN DEFENSE OF THE GOSPEL, PROVING, ILLUSTRATING YOUR LOVE AND OBEDIENCE FOR LOVING FATHER SON AND HOLY GHOST?
OR,………..ONE WHO COMPROMISES, BACKS DOWN WHEN THE HEAT IS ON, WILTS IN COWARDLY JELLIED KNEED FEAR OF REPRISAL WHEN THE ENEMY ATTACKS WITH INTIMIDATION AND DISCOURAGEMENT:
AN INSIPID, LUKEWARM, VACILLATING, RELIGIOUS HYPOCRITE AND HERETIC, A FAKE, A PRETENDER,……………………………A LIAR:…………….
The above ultimatum by the way, was given by this Jezebel to her husband when he was discharged from intensive care after having a heart attack. How about that from a woman who thinks she is saved, a disciple of Christ, how considerate and loving was that of her: I had another phone call also the other day from a true lover of the Son of God telling me he has been kicked out of his place of residence (that is owned by his sister) for witnessing, preaching, “SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE” TO HIS EARTHLY RELATIVES. He, now making his abode in a rented room in Sunnybank.
Oh,…….and I would be reticent in my communication if I did not testify to yours truly experiencing the same warfare, and, forsaking a wife, five children, businesses, the big house in one of Brisbane`s crustier suburbs and 76 acres outside of Toowoomba Qld., in an obedient demonstration of my love and commitment to The Son of God, for “His Sake, and the Gospels”.
THIS IS THE
REALITY OF IT GENTS, THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING IF YOU ARE TRULY CHRIST`S
MINISTERS.
THUS SAITH THE LORD CHRIST:
“HE THAT LOVETH FATHER OR MOTHER MORE THAN ME IS NOT
WORTHY OF ME: AND HE THAT LOVETH SON OR DAUGHTER MORE THAN ME IS NOT WORTHY OF
ME. AND HE THAT TAKETH NOT HIS CROSS, AND FOLLOWETH AFTER ME, IS NOT WORTHY OF
ME.” MATH. 10 37-38.
“VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT YE WHICH HAVE FOLLOWED
ME, IN THE REGENERATION WHEN THE SON OF MAN SHALL SIT IN THE THRONE OF HIS
GLORY, YE ALSO SHALL SIT UPON TWELVE THRONES, JUDGING THE TWELVE TRIBES OF
AND AGAIN, “VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THERE IS NO MAN
THAT HATH LEFT HOUSE, OR BRETHREN, OR SISTERS, OR FATHER, OR MOTHER, OR WIFE,
OR CHILDREN, OR LANDS, FOR MY SAKE, AND THE GOSPEL`S, BUT HE SHALL RECEIVE AN
HUNDREDFOLD NOW IN THIS TIME, HOUSES, AND BRETHREN, AND SISTERS, AND MOTHERS,
AND CHILDREN, AND LANDS, WITH PERSECUTIONS; AND IN THE WORLD TO COME ETERNAL
LIFE.” MK. 10/29-30.
“WHO IS MY MOTHER? AND WHO ARE MY BRETHREN? BEHOLD MY
MOTHER AND MY BRETHREN? FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL DO THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHICH IS
IN HEAVEN, THE SAME IS MY BROTHER, AND SISTER, AND MOTHER.” MATH. 12/48-50. AND
AGAIN, MK. 3/33-35. LUKE 8/21.
“AND FEAR NOT THEM WHICH KILL THE BODY, BUT ARE NOT
ABLE TO KILL THE SOUL: BUT RATHER FEAR HIM WHICH IS ABLE TO DESTROY BOTH SOUL
AND BODY IN HELL”. MATH. 10/28.
“BE NOT AFRAID OF THEM THAT KILL THE BODY, AND AFTER
THAT HAVE NO MORE THAT THEY CAN DO. BUT I WILL FOREWARN YOU WHOM YE SHALL FEAR:
FEAR HIM, WHICH AFTER HE HATH KILLED HATH POWER TO CAST INTO HELL; YEA, I SAY
UNTO YOU, FEAR HIM”. LUKE 12/5.
