From yesterday (3/2/08):
Word
Can two walk together unless they be agreed? I have come to bring division that those who have hearkened unto Me and have received My words would walk in strength and power, proclaiming liberty and truth to all who will hear. Do not think it strange when those who ought to be your brothers and sisters turn against you. For the time has come where judgment must begin at the house of God. And those who have fallen short, those who have loved the traditions of men more than the liberty of My Spirit will be given over to their own lusts. Can a man serve two masters? Can any be set free if they do not accept the truth that those whom the Son has made free are free indeed? I have come to fulfill the law but I tell you those who love Me have allowed Me to write My words, My doctrine, upon their hearts. Those who do not hold fast to My words, who do not let liberty come unto them by My Spirit, will be blown about by winds of doctrines. For though they praise Me with their lips, their heart's desire is to please men. They have their reward for they chose to love the approval of men more than My approval. I say, open your eyes and see who has the seal of My Spirit. Who desires nothing more than for My Spirit to come that liberty may be unto the captives and that the weak may be made strong? Only those who seek the wisdom that is from above will prosper for I desire that you prosper as your soul prospers. I tell you hold fast to every word that proceeds out of My mouth and guard it, that no man takes it from you. Many have come to deceive and to take captive My people, but I have raised you up in truth, I have anointed you and do send you that they may be set free and that My will is done in their midst. Do not think yourself small, for you are mighty by My Spirit. Do all that I ask you and hold not back concerning the words I give you, for they are life to all who will hear and be obedient to My voice.
Acts 13:1-12 (C0nfirmation)
1Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. 4So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. 5And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister. 6And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus: 7Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. 8But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. 9Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him. 10And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? 11And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. 12Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
With love in Him,

Amen Ryan,
The time that we are in is surely the end of last day before the time of trying. Now is the acceptable day. Anything short of a heart towards God, complete truth and being full of the Holy Spirit ensures wailing and gnashing of teeth at the least.
To those who are marginal; if God, in Spirit and in truth, is not more important than everything else in your life you do not have understanding, you will suffer much. To those who love God but do not truly walk in His Spirit, yours end will be the most bitter as you had opportunity to know God in Spirit and truth.

Amen. Seeing "those who have fallen short...being given over to their own lusts" is terrible. Truly there is no good thing in the flesh, murderers, rapists, drunkards, vain women and men, "intellectuals" (not wise in the ways of the Lord, but wise in their own eyes), etc., they are all disgusting!
I pray the Lord be pleased in me, and give me a heart after His own heart. If any of you who read this are undecided please let this be a day of decision and don't look back.
Grace and peace through Christ Jesus,
Rachel
