Every time we are given the opportunity to gather together in the Lord's name, He is faithful to give us all that we need. I am thankful for all of the opportunities that have been provided for us to share what the Lord has given us and for all of you at the church who continue to be obedient to all that He gives you.
During church this past Sunday, during a time of worship, the Lord gave me this:
Ecclesiastes 3:1 - 1To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
When praying, the Lord reminded me of a vision that He gave me some time ago. There was a tree before me with much fruit (apples) on it. As I came closer to the tree, I saw that much of the fruit on the tree was rotting. Some even had worms. However, on the tree there still remained some fruit that was in perfect condition, without rot or worms. As I looked at the fruit, the ground beneath the tree began to shake. Then, the tree itself shook along with everything on it. As it shook, the rotting apples, and those with worms, fell to the ground and they were eaten by the beasts of the field. The Lord then spoke this to me: I tell you My people, keep yourself unspotted from the world.
Later, the Lord also spoke this (understandings in parentheses):
All here have heard. All here have been warned of the judgment that is soon to come upon the nations. I ask, who will work out their own salvation with fear and trembling? There is much that I would have you to do, but all must draw close to My side that I may speak in your ear daily regarding that which I would have you to do. Let faith arise in you that you would eat these words and seek Me for your daily bread. Of a truth I tell you, many have desired to hear what you hear and see what you see but could not because of unbelief. The days of doubt and fear must cease for you, My people. For I tell you that those who choose not to believe all that I have spoken, even doubt the very words I have spoken in their midst, strong delusion will overtake them because they loved not the truth more than their confusion. I am not the author of confusion therefore I will have no part with those who choose confusion over deliverance. They will die in their ignorance (they are willfully ignorant).
Who will choose to put Me first in their lives and seek Me more than the cares of this life? I tell you outside of Me and My Spirit there is no life. Let those who are wise cease from their own labors and enter in to all that I have put before you to do. Have faith and believe these things I speak, for to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
God, give us all ears to hear, and put within us a heart that seeks after Your own.
God bless,
Ryan

Amen to that, brother. This word really spoke to me, because it is so important. No soldier engaged in warfare entangles himself in civillian affairs...

Good truth Ryan.
If people would humble themselves and believe God, learn how to listen to the Holy Spirit and not lean to their own understanding or being wise in their own eyes, the fruit of the Spirit could blossom.
James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
