Beware of
Fragmentation
following THE
CALL

Over the weekend and
throughout the day,
I have seen a
fragmentation of the
Body taking place.
It is an offensive
put forth by the
evil one to offset
the work of THE CALL
and the power
released on 7-7-07.
I have seen, and I
have heard from many
in the Body of the
after-effects of
this splintering. DO
NOT BELIEVE IT! It
is a lying spirit
sent forth to
deceive!
I have seen it at
work in families,
the work environment
and in church and
ministry groups. Be
aware of the wiles
of the enemy. He
disguises himself so
that you do not
recognize what is
really at work.
Whether or not you
attended THE CALL,
the enemy has
intended to
splinter, fragment
and dis-unify the
Body of Christ
following the 7-7-07
exploits of God. The
evil one hates it
when we come
together to pray. He
hates it anytime we
come together. He
hates it even more
when we pray.
Many will not
recognize this as a
ploy of the enemy.
Because it will be
so well-disguised
and so familiar,
many will fall for
the lie hook, line
and sinker. I am
here to warn you
against it.
Set a guard around
about your heart.
Seek the scriptures.
Stay in prayer and
supplication.
Maintain an attitude
of praise. For these
are the weapons of
our warfare.
Don't entertain evil
thoughts about your
neighbor. Refuse to
believe the lies
about yourself and
your own call. Don't
believe that nothing
happened and that
you haven't made a
difference, that you
can't make a
difference. Don't
sow seeds of
discontent toward
fellow Christians
and leadership
either. Give thanks
for what has been
accomplished, and
give honor where
honor is due. Touch
not God's anointed.
In Matthew chapter
13 and in Mark
chapter 4, the Lord
told us the parable
of the sower who
sowed the seed. Some
of it fell on the
wayside and was
eaten by birds. Some
of it took root, but
the roots were so
shallow that it
could not survive.
Some of the seed
began to grow but
was choked out by
the weeds and the
thorns. However,
some of the seed
fell in good soil
and grew into a
harvest.
By this, we know
that some of the
seed that was sown
will be stolen. We
also know that some
of the seed will not
be able to go long,
because the roots
are not deep enough.
We also can see that
some of the seed
will eventually be
choked out by the
cares of this world.
Do not be surprised
by these things.
HOWEVER, SOME OF THE
SEED WILL GROW INTO
A HARVEST! It will
grow! It will become
a harvest! And that
harvest will be
enough to make up
for all the seed
that was lost or
didn't make it.
Guard your seed!
Guard your heart
with all diligence
for out of it flow
the issues of life
(Proverbs 4:23).
Do not let the seed
be stolen from you!
That's the first
thing the enemy is
going to try to do.
Refuse to believe
the lie. Instead,
trust in the Lord
with all your heart,
and lean not on your
own understanding
(Proverbs 3:5).
Don't trust your
feelings! The enemy
will exploit past
hurts and unhealed
areas of our lives
in order to separate
us from our
neighbor, family
member, and
ultimately our Lord.
I have seen the
enemy release a
weapon that
fragments,
splinters, and
divides the Body,
particularly the
prayer movement.
Please don't let it
succeed! Don't let
it stop you!
Ask the Lord to
cleanse your
thoughts and
emotions. Ask Him to
touch you with a
coal from His fire
to refine the very
things you think and
feel.
This is a time we
must band together
as the Body of
Christ like no other
time. Refuse to be
parted from your
commission, from
your friends, or
from your CALLing.
Press on! March! In
line -- one with
another. Not out of
step, but together.
Let the enemy's
tricks backfire on
him.
Sound the alarm!
It's time to pray
together!
Keep the seed alive!
