Do not allow the evil one to use the device of separation to cause retaliation upon the brethren.  For I am calling you to unity, to pay the price of dying out to the flesh to preserve the life of those that I gave My life for.  The enemy will cause many to go into the spirit of opposition trying to preserve their own lives which is only the pride of life.  For this is the day and the hour where I am calling My people to a severe heart searching.  
 
Are you willing to give your life for your brother or are you about looking to save your own?  For I am calling you to a life of love and sacrifice, to have a willingness to love your neighbor as they were your own family.  Do not fear that you will not have your own needs met if you look out for others for that is a lie of the evil one.  For when you pour out of your heart compassion and service and mercy, I will pour back in abundant grace for your own needs.
 
My ways are not the ways of the world for they are so much higher and not always easily understood,  but you will learn that you will reap an abundant harvest of fruit by your obedience to Me.  For the world will know My own by their love, their humility and servitude, not the hostility that many will manifest in trying to protect and defend themselves.  Ask yourself this question?  Am I willing to die in order to live the abundant life?  Am I willing to sacrifice for others to see My saving grace flow through you?  And am I willing to die in order to see others live eternally?
 
Are you willing to truly pay the cost to be My disciples?  For I am preparing you to go through a season of training that will either make you or break you.  I am about to see who are truly My men and those who just say that they are.  For I am about to take you into battle where the enemy will come in like a flood, but those who have yielded to My preparation will be able to stand.  They will not fall into the snares of compromise and deception, because their hearts will be pure vessels that I can truly flow through.
 
I said in the very beginning to you to love Me with all your heart, soul and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself.  In itself this commandment has great strength to preserve you from all harm.  No evil can overtake you when you obey My command to love.  So search your heart this day and see if you are willing to pay the price to change from glory to glory into My image.  If you truly want to win and succeed in My caling you in this great end time battle, then you need to be willing to die out, for in dying you reap My resurrection power that will crush the enemy under your feet.
 
Cast off the lies of the evil one.  Beware of all forms of deception for it is important to walk in truth, honesty, and integrity.  For I am looking for virtue in My warriors not those who have put on a mask and have learned to say the right things.  For the enemy knows who are My true warriors for they carry a brightness about them that cannot be hidden, and they have true joy and a peace that cannot be quenched.  But most of all you can tell them by My love.
