Two Dangers

Some things I received from the Lord:

I am pulling together and disciplining a troop that will not break rank. I have been moving on my shepherds to call with the rams horn for an assembly of intercessors. My shepherds are not yet free of titles and pride. Humbly they will heed My voice within the office to which I have called them. This will happen soon. The call to pray, the call to war. First the church, then the harvest. The call to not break rank is not of human hands. No organization other than the Head of the church will lead such an army. Pray for the time to appear and soon.

Two dangers:
1). To lower the standard, to compromise, to break the principles of revival, give in to the pressures and the god of this age, succumb to the masses of believers who have moved to carnality, leaving the principles of the Word of God.

2). To holds on to former traditions harder than the things of God. To make a Christian untenable.

Joy (#2) is avoided because Jesus was a man of sorrows. Look at Heb 1:9 where Jesus was anointed with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows. Jesus had the extremes of sorrow and joy. Sobriety is a tradition that is mistaken for holiness. We are to have oil in our lamps, not lemon juice.

God bless
