Sanctification is Coming For the Body of Christ!
The date of receiving this word was 18th January 2023. The day before I received this word I was doing my daily routine of sitting on my couch and reading a passage of Scripture before I turned on my television. As I picked up my Bible I had a vision of a large cockroach crawling out of it. I chuckled and proclaimed out loud, “This will never happen because God knows how afraid I am of bugs and no way He would let them in His sacred Word”.
The next night I settled on the couch and opened my Bible and to my horror out came an actual huge cockroach. I screamed and threw my Bible across the room. My husband and son then spent the next ten minutes looking for the cockroach so they could capture it and release it back outside.
As I was pondering what happened I said to God, “How could you let that happen, You know my deep fears of insects, bees, bugs and spiders and to let it come into Your Holy Word astounds me”. In fact I felt quite offended that God had let this happen. As I was still pondering I heard the Lord speak and this is what I heard, “What is the number one thing that the enemy wants to attack? My Word!”. He then repeated it again. He now had my attention and then told me He wanted me to write an article about this. I sat down with pen and paper waiting on Him and this is what I believe the Lord Jesus spoke to me through His Holy Spirit during this time ~
“The Word of God is under attack. (I felt so much of His grief as I heard these words). The enemy has watered down My Word. He has removed one of the most important things from My Word – the Holiness of God. Being Holy as He is Holy. Many in the Body of Christ believe today it does not matter to compromise My truths, values and morals. The Word of God has not changed. I have not changed – I am the same yesterday, today and forever. If I required My children to be holy by the law why would I not require My children to be holy through Christ? The importance of Holiness has been taken out and replaced with mediocrity. ‘It doesn’t matter anymore’ they say, ‘I am under grace’. It does matter and it matters a great deal. I cannot return for a bride who is blemished, broken and walking in unholiness. Why? Because My Word says so. My Word says that I am coming for a Bride who has no spot, wrinkle or blemish. This is literal and not metaphorical.
I AM CLEANSING MY PEOPLE – What is coming is a season of cleansing. Sanctification – cleaning up the Body of Christ. For too long I have let them have their way – letting them relish in their sins. The body of Christ is broken. They cry out for healing but there is none. If you are not correctly discerning the Lords body you are not eating My flesh. My flesh is My Word and My Word heals. My Word is not healing you because you are not eating My flesh. I am the bread of life and when you partake of the bread if you are not discerning the Lords body (My Word) many will remain sick. Is this not what My Word says? (1 Corinthians 11:24-34, NKJV) And when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes. Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. Why are you not discerning My Body? Why are so many relishing in their sins and saying My Grace is sufficient for you? Only I can tell you when My Grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness. My grace is not for your sins to take advantage. My grace which is My empowering strength and love is there to help you overcome your weakness. It is to show you your weakness so I can give you My strengths. This is to glorify God. In Paul’s case the revelations were too great and pride would have overwhelmed him. Pride comes before a fall. My grace prevented his fall. The thorn in Pauls flesh was to prevent him from falling. What was that thorn? A messenger of satan sent to buffet him.
My laws have been compromised. No longer do you need to keep My laws to be saved but you should still abound in them. Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good (Romans 7:12). When you are born-again you become a slave to My righteousness and your human spirit wants to walk in accordance with My moral laws and statutes. Your flesh which is not yet born-again wants to war against your born-again spirit. I want to cleanse you fully – in spirit, soul and body. The devil came and watered down My Holy Word and is teaching people that it is okay to continue in your unholiness. Sin causes decay and destruction in your flesh. When you walk in the flesh you reap death and destruction. The one who is taught the Word [of God] is to share all good things with his teacher [contributing to his spiritual and material support]. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked [He will not allow Himself to be ridiculed, nor treated with contempt nor allow His precepts to be scornfully set aside]; for whatever a man sows, this and this only is what he will reap. For the one who sows to his flesh [his sinful capacity, his worldliness, his disgraceful impulses] will reap from the flesh ruin and destruction, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in (Galatians 6:6-9, AMP).
My Word heals your flesh. He sent his Word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions (Psalm 107:20, KJV). Many today cannot receive My healing Word because they are not discerning the Lords Body. This means they are not walking in holiness and in accordance with My laws and commandments. I am bringing sanctification back into the Body of Christ – My Church. Time is short – I am coming soon. Time to clean up My Bride!”
