The Danger of Backsliding

I am in the book of Jeremiah right now and God is speaking into my spirit. Everyone has been talking about the Grammy Awards and how demonically ritualistic they have become.
So, I watched a YouTube video about the collaboration of a Christian group with a secular artist.

The creator made a valid point that we must be careful of our lack of mercy because we don't see the full picture of God's intervention. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55: 9, KJV).

But I want to add what the Spirit is showing me. He will confirm His Word. So let me give you a synopsis.
Led by the Spirit I began to realize that there is a fine line in the flesh between accepting God or Satan, good and evil, and right or wrong.

Everything is Permissible for Me, But Not All Things Are Beneficial

1) You don't have to accept everything that the world and the devil offer you. Just say no when you are of God and see the evil intent behind a gift. Why would you feel honored to accept a Grammy or any abomination, knowing what it represents?

"Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the LORD, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you," (2 Corinthians 6: 17, KJV).

2) Now remember that God loves mercy, but we are not to compromise. "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the LORD]" (Matthew 6: 24, AMP).

3) God may very well send you into the "lion's den". But remember your direction and focus. Do what is commanded of you then leave. When the prophets had a message, they rarely stayed longer than to say "Thus saith the LORD".

Can Two Walk Together Lest They Agree?

"Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners" (1 Corinthians 15: 33, KJV).

And again, "Do not be unequally bound together with unbelievers [do not make mismatched alliances with them, inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

"What harmony can there be between Christ and Belial (Satan)? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?" (2 Corinthians 6: 14-15, AMP).

Let's take it further to confirm this affiliation. The perceived warning. And the disturbing of our spiritual walk. Polluting our very souls.

Can A Man Take Fire in His Bossom and Not Be Burned?

"Now what are you doing by going to Egypt [in search of an ally], to drink the muddy waters of the Nile? Or what are you doing by going to Assyria [in search of an ally], to drink the muddy waters of the Euphrates?" (Jeremiah 2: 18, AMP).

(Now here it is...) "Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the LORD GOD of hosts" (Jeremiah 2: 19, KJV).

4) This does not mean that we shun them. But we must show them a better way.

Be Holy for God is Holy

"Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; and walk continually in love [that is, value one another--practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance" (Ephesians 5: 1-2, AMP).

5) Let me close with this. "You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, (pay attention...) and it gives light to all who are in the house" (Matthew 5: 14-15, AMP).

Whoever Denies Me Before Men, I Will Deny Before My Father in Heaven

Let God's glory, the light of His anointing, and the power of the Holy Spirit consume you. Worldly people look the same. There is no distinction.

But we are a peculiar people. A royal priesthood. Be thankful that you are set apart. Remember that the true light of God cannot be hidden. It is impossible. This is how we honor Him without shame.
6) Don't blur the lines. "Listen carefully: I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be wise as serpents, and innocent as doves (and here it is again...) [having no self-serving agenda]" (Matthew 10: 16, AMP).

Always coming from a place of love!!!

When the LORD Goes Before You!!!

 When the LORD Goes Before You!!! “Know [without any doubt], that the LORD your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked (stubborn, obstinate) people. Remember [with remorse] and do not forget how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness; from the day you left the land of Egypt until you arrived at this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD. And at Horeb (Sinai) you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was so angry with you that He would have destroyed you” (Deuteronomy 9: 4-8, AMP). Many of us focus on Moses' fasting for forty days and forty nights. But he had to go back up for a second time, for forty more days and nights, hewing two tablets of stone himself, as he fasted and prayed for the lives of the Israelites, including his brother Aaron. In God’s mercy they spent forty years in the wilderness, and He was not wrong if He would have condemned them to eighty years. Before we procee...

Sanctify Your Vessel in Holiness!!!

  Sanctify Your Vessel in Holiness!!! People say that they love their family and friends and believe that it gives them the right to overlook evil. That they should hold themselves higher than God Himself by saying, “I absolve you of your sin”. Who would ignore the Holy Scriptures because they feel sorry for them and because they themselves are full of transgression. So that while they overlook wrongdoing in others, the same should be done unto them. I spoke to my daughter, that my children will say, I love my brothers and sisters, but you don’t love each other enough to warn them of impending judgment. A judgment that has two outcomes. Darkness and torment in a lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels, where the worm dieth not. Where you have been given a new body that will withstand torment that only God can inflict, that will never be utterly destroyed. A horror that lasts forever. Or the reassurance given by God Himself. “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor e...

A Little Leaven Leavens the Whole Lump!!!

  A Little Leaven Leavens the Whole Lump!!! As I listened to one of the latest prophecies of The Master’s Voice Prophecy Blog with Celestial titled, “08192025 Underwater Volcano Cascadia” she came to a point where she admonished those of us who were consumed with worry and praying for our loved ones to the point where we were starting to lack faith in our own personal relationships with Jesus. I began to hear from the Spirit, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” Matthew 6: 33, KJV). But here is a quote from this episode that speaks volumes, “Do you not know that the work of salvation is so personal that you can never compel the soul of another person to love God”. Ouch! Here is the supporting scripture that she gave, which I am referencing. Don’t miss the premise. “And the LORD said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man…”(Genesis 6:3a, KJV). “Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which...
