DO NOT FEAR THOSE WHO KILL THE BODY, BUT CANNOT KILL NOT THE SOUL
Jesus told His disciples that they would experience persecution for speaking truth. In following His directives to bring His message to the masses, He told them they would encounter hardship, pushback, and even some suffering. Even so, He said…
Â
So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. (Matthew 10:26-29 ESV)
Â
This is a reminder that we live and serve from an unseen Kingdom that will outlive and outlast our current reality. We may get get hit, beat up, pushed around, and misunderstood, but will still come out victorious if we stay faithful and keep going. Even though our spiritual adversary has been trying to silence us, discourage us, and even kill us, remember that we live in temporary bodies that do not determine our eternal significance or value. That which lasts comes from the heart. That which is truly powerful comes from the message we carry within. So, regardless of the disappointments, attacks, and setbacks, guard your heart, keep speaking the truth, and determine to outlast your enemies. The rewards are sure to come.
Wanda,
This blog was so informative and timely.Than you for your faithfulness
in speaking what you believe the Lord is giving you to support and instruct
the body of Christ. We desperately need to become united as Christains.
I grieve how many react rather than seeking the Lord for His insight and heart in
these matters.
Am I the only one that struggles to see how we are being persecuted in the USA? I think Christians in China and the Middle East would very disappointed. Too many overreacting
How is injuring police officers and damaging property a persecution of their faith? Not sure J6 is anywhere close to persecution let alone connected at all with our Christian faith. You may have some political idolatry going on. Gentle reminder…
Be careful to not see or operate out of a spirit of offense. Hear Wanda’s heart..
With many words sin is unavoidable. Make it short and sweet. Im tired of the body believing their ticking ears are true discernment. Grow up folks. Jesus is the only true and spotless prophet. He alone saves. Easy to see both men are prophets and have good standing. Disappointing of moral failure Why oh why does the flesh get them over and over again.
Regarding Rick, after a stroke most people suffer from inability to make the best decisions. I agree he has said too much on a public forum.
In the past Rick has not been the best at dealing with prophets who sinned.
This was so needed and the heart of the Father is to restore. He also wants us to recognize that when one part hurts or suffers than the whole body suffers, so we need to pray for one another and let love lead us as it never fails.
Wanda, I appreciate your discernment. I think you are speaking from your beautiful heart, and I agree with all that you have said. God’s people sometimes are some of the quickest to judge others; testing the spirits is what we need to do, but God’s word tells us that only the Son of God can judge the heart, not man. Praying for our leadership in the Body of Christ is always what we should do. I listen to Good News Network (GNN) 102.7 FM everyday. The program is 24-7 and pastor after pastor speaking, Focus on the Family, and much much more. This station covers much of GA, SC, NC, and AL. Erwin W. Lutzer has many books written, two that I have read that cover this subject today: WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE? Learning to Distinguish Between Truths, Half-Truths, and Lies; and WHEN YOU’VE BEEN WRONGED Moving from Bitterness to Forgiveness.
Dear Abba Father, we need so desperately today to have unity in the Body of Christ. Help us to discern any spirit trying to disrupt this unity. Help us to pray for one another and let You judge, not ourselves, and let us forgive quickly. Help us not to speak from our flesh but from Holy Spirit at all times. In Yeshua’s name we pray, Amen.

That which costs little is usually valued as such
How much is the beaten body and a he’d blood worth

J6’s would disagree with you!

Please come on YouTube more often with messages and current prophesies like these. Thank you so much. Glory and blessings.
