Come Away
Listen
Transcript:
Good morning & Greetings in Jesus name. The Lord is promising new things for His bride. New abilities, strength, understanding, anointing, wisdom for His bride. The bride of Jesus that is the church will always have temptation to become like the world, to become defiled, to become one among the many, to not be exclusive to Jesus. And the Lord is calling us out of those temptations. The Lord wants us to be set apart. It is only in being set apart that we will see the answers, the freedom, the deliverance, the dominion that the Lord has promised for you and me.
Rev 18:4, “Then I heard another voice calling from heaven, Come away from her my people. Do not take part in her sins, or you will be punished with her.”
This is the Lord speaking to the church in the world during the tribulation period. God is speaking to the church that is seeing and witnessing all kinds of immorality around them. The Lord is asking the church to come away from the false entity Babylon. This Babylon is a bride of Satan. Lord is calling the church to separate from Babylon. Babylon represents pride, power, corruption, everything that the world represents. And the Lord is asking us, His bride to come out and away from Babylon.
The Lord says to His bride, “You are my people, my possession, my special one”; so come away from her, disconnect and disengage from her desire; the more we are in connection with them there will be a heart to heart transfer and we eventually start behaving like them.
The Lord wants us to be a light for those who don’t have the light; the Lord wants us to be answers and solutions to people in a way that will show God’s love. At the same time we cannot get so engaged with the world that our hearts begin to enjoy what they enjoy, our hearts begin to crave what they crave.
Jesus walked, lived, ate with sinners and yet sin did not enter Him, it did not affect His heart. I’m sure that if we will imitate Jesus, He will give us the grace by the power of the Holy Spirit to be in the world and yet not let the world inside of us.
Today the Lord is asking you, will you stay away from her sins? If you can continually stay in a place of purity then you can be in a place of deep, personal communion with my presence. The church is powerful only to the proportion of the presence of God in us. The church that doesn’t have the presence of God is an empty church.
There is coming a day of great judgement, a day when the accounts will be called in, we will have to give an account on that day. My prayer is that we will be found as a set-apart people.
