Marching Order - 12

Undivided

It is by far better to die then to accept the mark of the beast

or to worship him in any way.

John 17: 20-21 - "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me."

Very soon the Holy Spirit of Power will be here on earth and He will be passed from Believer to Believer until He reaches all who call on the name of Christ. Once we've received the Spirit we are united. There will be no more us verses them, and no more time for squabbling over points of faith and practice in the Family of God. A Baptist with the Spirit is now the same as a Catholic with the Spirit. An Evangelical with the Spirit is the same as a Lutheran with the Spirit. A Methodist with the Spirit is the same as an Adventist with the Spirit; and everyone else who will receive the Holy Spirit of Power is then united with us all. Sure right now we think that the other guy is wrong about a whole bunch of things, and God will lead us all in the Truth, but if we all have the same Spirit of God surging in our hearts then we are all approved by God, and we must all rally to the standard of Christ as one, and labor and fight side by side against the enemy as one. (AS ONE) There is no more time for building or defending our own little individual spiritual kingdoms because most all of us, in a very short time, will either die and be on our way to the Banquet of the Lord, be hiding from the antichrist, or we will be going through the Refiner's Fire of captivity to the antichrist.

Furthermore, there will be no room for divides along the lines of race, class, citizenship, or national origin. We are all equal in Christ as souls that He loves, so there is no place for the pride of thinking that you are any better then your brother for any reason. Instead we are going to need to count on everyone as a team to assure the victory. The Lord has many things that He wants to accomplish in the coming harvest and one of them is to bring the His Children into perfect unity under one throne, the throne that will be established with the return of the Lamb as described in Revelation 19. Do not be surprised if the mightiest warrior is that funny looking hard to relate to guy with the heart of gold.

Our enemy will not be able to overcome us if we can keep his lies out of our heads and truly love our Brothers and Sisters in Christ no matter who they are, or what tradition they come from. We must never allow ourselves to be divided and thus defeated. Rally to Jesus and fight side by side as His Body, undivided.

Revelation 13 : 10 - "If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with sword, with the sword he will be killed. This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints."

Revelation 14 : 9 - 13 - "........ "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name." This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God's commandments and remain faithful to Jesus. Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.""
