I speak unto you this day and I say that if you will be true disciples, then this is the question that I ask of you: Are you willing to die? It is very important that those who believe in the message of My Son, which comes of Me, must consider this before they sign on as the warriors for righteousness. Those who will be disciples, warriors for My cause, must be willing to die to themselves and carry their cross daily.
It is imperative that those who want to be with Me in My kingdom and walk in the steps of My Son Jesus die out to what they want in order to do what I want of them. I do not want those who are Mine to be under the auspices of the world and to follow blindly along in the ways that demons are directing those who are of the world.
This means in essence that if those who are claiming that they love Me want to remain true to Me, then they must be willing to die out to all that they have imagined they wanted in this life. Essentially, if anyone is willing to die to themselves and take up the cross and follow in the steps of My Son, they will be in subjectivity to the commands and dictates of the Holy Spirit and enabled to follow and go onward in the way that I provide.
Consider that it is very important for those who are serious about their desire to follow Me that they would keep their vision single and their hearts upon My desires for them. My true people are not meant to let themselves go after the vanity, the profanity, and the insanity of these times. Rather, they are to keep themselves clean and clear in the pathway they choose. This is because I do not want the ones who are Mine to be found in the quicksand of sin and idolatry that are so common in these times.
When a person steps in quicksand, they are easily sucked down and cannot extract themselves. However, those who are in obedience to the commands and dictates of My Spirit will be guided in the pathway whereby there are warnings given. If they will pay heed to the warnings that My Spirit gives, they will be directed away from that which would easily suck them under.
My desire is now, and has always been, to have people come forth who want Me and know that they have need of My rule over them. So it was in the Garden. I provided in abundance for Adam and Eve all that they had need of. They were not slaves, nor were they overwhelmed with the cares of life in the endless toil of existence. Yet, because Eve received the serpent’s seed and believed his lies above the truth, transgression entered in. Then Eve, who is the mother of all humanity, went to her husband and persuaded him to join her in the transgression, and inasmuch as both became guilty of choosing deception above the truth, they were banished from the Garden.
So it is even until this day. Those who choose for doubt, fear, unbelief, selfishness and self-indulgence above the truth are not in My presence. Rather, they take up the way of separation from Me because they are by their choices walking in the way that I never intended for them to walk in.
Be aware that those who want to follow after folly will do so to their own demise, and by the same they will find that their lives are tainted and devoured by the demons they choose above My Spirit. They do not realize that by choosing to keep their lives they are proving to be unworthy and are literally losing the life that they could have had in Me.
Such fools as these are often taken prematurely, as the demons who control them blind their eyes and they become extreme in their rebellion and die. Then they end being hurled headlong into hell, partaking of the eternal burning that will never stop. Yet, these same ones thought it too hard to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow in the steps of My Son. They were totally not willing to die to themselves.
Sad to see how many will follow in the folly of Adam and Eve and be banished from My presence for what they are deceived to believe is their own way. The reality is that when anyone chooses against My way, they go in the broad way that inevitably leads them to destruction. The devil has many ways he entices and enchants people to go in the broad way, yet every one of those ways has the same bitter water in the end.
Those who choose My way and listen to the commands of My Spirit will drink freely of the sweet waters of life that I provide. Through My indwelling Holy Spirit, they will know the joy of fellowship with Me, My Son, and My true people. As they are choosing to be willing to die to themselves and their own desires, they will experience the divine fire of love burning in them, and they will want to see others redeemed and brought into My house.
Under My covering there is safety and sanity, and those who are under the same will not be as the fools sinking in the quicksand of sin and crying out for help to the demons who have led them there. There is no help to be given from demons; they give only deception ending in damnation.
Those who are easily enticed and enchanted by the deceiver and his demons will be the ones who go after the sweet deceits and find bitterness in the end. Likewise, those who choose the sobering bread that I give to them will not be found in folly and believing that in the same they are jolly. No, they will be alert, alive, and actively following My Spirit, and able to refuse, rebuke, and refute the liar and his lying forces, for they are choosing life, not death.
