Vision: Two men are standing on a dock. It is a dark and cloudy day, windy and cold. There are many people standing on the shore near the dock. Both men plunge into the cold stormy waters to draw attention to themselves, to foster pity for themselves. The Lord does nothing. I then heard, let them receive the reward of their labor. They sought to deceive, counting on mercy. Let them receive the fruit of their labor, death.
Psalm 11Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Word: Oh people of God, how long will you empower the unrighteous? How long will you deceive, the unbeliever, and not tell him the truth, the reward of their labor. Do not cover deceit, do not have pity on those who try Me, tempt Me. Those who have no faith in me, only faith in their craftiness to deceive. I tell you have nothing to do with them. The second death waits for them. They care not for truth, their every thought is to make servants of fools who cannot tell right from wrong.
Judge a righteous judgment, know truth.

Amen, Dave.
How I wish I could have time back, in what I thought was love, I instead enabled those that I cared for deeply in their stumbling. Yet another reason that we must trust God and be led by His Spirit. When the word says after the second or third admontion to depart from such men, it means it. Yeah Jesus ate with sinners, but who among us would dare to say he did it just for kicks? Or who would judge the hearts of those men?
Let us not love anyone to death.

Amen, Dave. I can see it when I read it.
It is so important to be obedient to the Spirit of God, rather than doing what we feel is right at the time.
Though we think we love those who we see stumbling, if we do not be a brother or sister in Christ and correct them, we only empower them to be who they have become. If we ask God, He will always give us instruction. We need to die to ourselves that we would know always to go to Him first.
God bless,

Amen. I pray God's people receive discernment to know the two men's wickedness that we won't be deceived.

Amen,
We are to be wise as serpents, harmless as doves, and we are to judge all things by the Spirit, so that we are not deceived, especially in the days to come, as wolves in sheep's clothing and antichrists grow in number and craftiness.
God Bless,
Tara
