Make a Chain

“Make a Chain”

Ezek 7:23

23 Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.

There has been a whisper of caution in my heart of the coming transition. I feel the events of the next two years will allow chaos and disruption in the heavens. When brethren dwell in unity, the cosmos reacts to the harmony. And when the shuffling of dissention begins, the atmosphere is open for vile forces to enter the unprotected places.

We have been warned.

As a family is in grave danger when the husband mistreats the wife, angels having been given charge to protect the weaker vessel, they also have heard the words of the Lord of Hosts concerning how we treat our brothers.

Matt 5:22-25

22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

The loose, unbridled tongue is a fire of offence. Yet, in the diversity of brethren, and the dissolving of ancient landmarks, many who are honestly searching for the beacon of direction, have often been swallowed up within the geographical grouping of others, in which they may or may not agree.

It is these that at times sway beneath the voices of comrades and the voice of sound, heavenly wisdom. They often choose to go with those who make logical sense, rather than those who through a moments anger have returned a volley of venom from yesterday’s argument directed at them.

When we are angry without a cause, by a perceived offence, when the perpetrator may have been echoing a voice that had logically explained the view, the angels flee from their appointed edict.

Recently, having spent some time with friends and realizing the work of the enemy to sow discord over some minor “immature” discrepancy, I realized that the time is now to begin to make a chain against the coming spiritual onslaught that will be a direct action because of loose statements and flared tempers.

These divisions will not occur without scathing accusations, vociferous posturing, and animated gesturing, all of these an offense to the integrity and ego of humanity.

I feel a burden to make a chain of those close to me; one at a time to carefully inspect the weakness and strengths for the coming tension. We will all suffer spiritual attacks weather we’re involved or not.

I sense in my spirit that these next two years will be a division that will bring a greater blessing. But now we need to work on our personal relationships to strengthen the remnant of brethren of like precious faith.

The Apostolic Compass is a timely endeavor that is going to bring strength and vision to many. I am deeply thankful for the efforts of these brethren. But I feel the need to begin now, making a chain of fellowship that will embrace every brother who wants to experience revival with God consciousness. When the dust is settled, and the splits have been made, and we sit licking our wounds from the spiritual onslaught because of the absence of the peacemakers guard, we need to have re-established the new covenant within our world.

“A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”

A very sobering and encouraging thought, Bro. Perry.

I wonder if the great "falling away" is an ongoing process, comprised of those who didn't make a chain and hold on to become what is called "the remnant"?

I think the tribulation will go a long way towards sorting out some of these issues. Persecution has a way of drawing true believers together around the things that really matter.
