Family, Real Family

For those who have not already sorted through this, we are about to discover the difference between legal, biological, and spiritual family.  In these last days, it will be our spiritual family that we will count on and will need to be able to count on us.  I'm truly hoping to be able to assist many people through this coming time of difficulty, but when choices must be made, it will be spiritual family first.  I'm being honest about my stand before the difficulties begin.  I'll also add this.  I pray that those to whom we are related in the natural will see the truth.

The simple fact of the matter is, the line in the sand is widening . . . to the point of a chasm in some issues, and natural families are divided on the issues.  Actually, the spiritual family is still pretty divided on a number of issues as well, but that will change.  As the persecution intensifies, the common enemy will more than likely cause us to need to unite.  The minor differences will pale in comparison to the all out persecution we will be facing.   Sadly, Messiah stated natural families will actually become enemies toward the remnant.  This is where some of us have had to seriously evaluate life.

Not all of our natural family are enemies, but biological and/or legal relationships are simply not always connected spiritually.  "If you're not for us you're against us" feeds the "enemy" mentality, and sadly that is the place to which our society has arrived and defined to be "proper."  In my case, if anyone is willing to choose a political candidate and seek mainstream medical advice, we are not on the "same page;" which is usually interpreted to be opposing.  Some folks are confrontational about it, while with others; we simply agree to disagree and hopefully focus on other matters.

I would do anything I could for my physical family, except . . . compromise my call of service to YHWH.  There are three reasons for that.  One, I don't want to lose my salvation . . . Two, if I lose the blessing of the covenant, I have nothing to offer anyone, anyway . . . and Three, I already tried it once, hoping to come to an understanding.  Here is the understanding to which I have now arrived.  When someone comes here demanding compromise, that really means concession on my part, so NO, the answer is simply, I shall not be moved.  I do not have the ability or capability to provide salvation for anyone, only to introduce them to the One Who saves.  YHWH does not have friends of friends, in-laws, or grandchildren.  He has children . . .  We must each have our own relationship with our Creator through His Son.

As these end of days continue to unfold, obedient Bible believers will be called extremists.  With a global economy on the rise and Agenda 2030 being rolled out, life is likely to become quite difficult on the remnant.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. . . And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.  words of Messiah in John 17:9, 11
