Avoid Being Sectarian
“Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me," (Mark 9:39 NIV).Prayer Request
Dear Brethren, these past three weeks have been the most challenging for this family, all five of us have been infected by covid-19. As responsible citizens, we have done the best we could as a preventative measure but we could not keep the virus out. O' my dear Lord, what an arduous and painful experience this has been especially to me and my wife as a matter of fact this is the reason why we humbly beseech you all dear brethren to please pray and intercede for my dear wife, this thing has been extremely merciless towards her. As a faithful servant of the Lord, my wife has been praying for this ministry for many years from which each of you has been benefiting spiritually.
As for this week's message, no truly born-again Christian should ever consider any Church, pastor or denomination as the best or the 'only true' movement' (Mark 9:39) such assertions are spiritually dangerous and a person's souls salvation is at stake (1 Corinthians 3:4-9). Instead, we are encouraged to prayerfully judge the content of the message holding on to what is good for our growth in the Lord (1 Thessalonians 5:21).
Producing A Harvest
From our experience, young Christians are often 'ridding' on the faith of their mentor's and they live on the strength and statements of those they follow. It is a fact, they will often quote the statements and sayings of their mentors more than the bible. Now, we are not saying that it is wrong to learn from those who became Christians before us, (2 Timothy 3:14), however, after having learned and reading the Word of God for ourselves we are encouraged to bear fruit and produce a harvest as individual believers (Genesis 1:12; Matthew 13:8). PLEASE TAKE WARNING TO THIS MESSAGE AND AVOID BEING SURPRISED ON THAT DAY, SURELY IT'S COMING VERY SOON!
I recently received a terrifying vision from the Lord regarding a brother in Christ (Terri, not real name). Now, before I share this vision, please allow me to give a background description, this particular servant of the Lord was anointed and was highly used by God and everybody including demons recognized the work of this servant of God. As it was, at the height of being tested by the Lord the brother broke faith with God and partially abandoned his work in the Lord.
I'll allow Brother Terri to explain further, "I had a vision which not only left me worried but terrifying in every respect and I'm not ashamed to share this warning. In the vision, many other believers were also assembled before the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:9-11), when it was my turn to appear before the Lord, I did my best to avoid facing Him and the harder I tried the more tormenting it became as I felt that I did not belong there and I was afraid of what I was about to hear. It further appeared as if I was being held on both arms by two mighty angels and I knew I would not hear the Lord saying to me, 'You faithful servant enter into the rest of your Lord...' (Matthew 25:21) instead I expected to hear, "Throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness..."(Matthew 25:30).
Finally, the vision was taken up, thus taking me out of my misery as Brother Terri continued, it took me years of submission and prayers to the Lord until I was restored again, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and I was allowed to continue with my work in the Lord (Daniel 4:24-37; Luke 22:32). As a scary thought dear brethren, I never thought that it was so difficult to regain my salvation and the Lord's grace" (Hebrews 10:26).
In conclusion, if there is anyone who abandoned the Lord and the work of the Lord, please REPENT whole-heartedly, seek the face of the Lord we surely do not have much time left before the Lord comes. We must also warn, about a month ago the Lord warned through Claudia that there will be the worst civil unrest coming to the whole world and those who continue in their lives of sin and disobedience will not escape the coming evil, we better BE PREPARED!
Blessed Grace
Brother Glenn
