When The Lord Withdraws Himself

Son 5:6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer. 
Who will seek Him? Who? Where are the seekers of truth in this hour?
When God stops giving, it's because we have stopped receiving.
The Truth Is Rejected
When the emails don't come, like they used to. When the Word is not falling like rain on a spring day! When the truth cannot be found or heard. When God sends a famine into the land not for bread and water but for the hearing of His Word. When his people call but their is no answer. When the plain truth is no longer our desire. When the Lord only speaks in parables and dark sayings.  When the truth is hidden and called a mystery. You must understand that God is no pleased. It is a sad hour when God instructs His true ministers to speak to His people in parables. Not only is this grievous to His ministers however it's because God is grieved as well. God will not always strive with the generation of His wrath. As it was in the days of Noah and as it was in the days of Lot shall be the proverb of this generation. What is the fire to the chaff? What is the wind to the chaff? You offer to God an offering and He blows upon it! It is with grief that we cannot pour out the great riches of His vast treasury to a people that do not have ears to hear! We will lift our voice with Him in judgment against this generation. When the tears run down like a river its because somebody has rejected true council. 
Jer 9:1 Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
Isa 66:4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 
Mat 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
I would strongly admonish you to read these Scriptures and seek understanding lest you also be left in the dark.

Mat 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
Mat 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Mat 13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
Mat 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Mat 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
This is the condition we as His ministers are facing at this time. He that can hear it hear it.
Mat 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
His Chosen Few
Mat 13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
Can We Hear This?
Mat 13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

A New Commandment I Give Unto You

John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 

John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

The greatest thing Satan fights against, is the love of God. Why Satan hates God's love is because He knows that he cannot get a foot hold where God's love is being demonstrated. This is why he seeks to cause God's people to live in the carnal. He knows that if he can get God's people to walk after the flesh, that he can cause strife and discord. However when God's love is in action, he cannot work his deceptions. Why? Because God's love is not suspicious. You see suspicion causes a person to not trust others. Not that I am advocating to trust any man, however if we have God's love working in our hearts our total trust is in Him. Because our total 100% trust is in God, their is no room to doubt or question. After all it's not our life we are living anymore. The life we now live in the flesh is supposed to be by the Faith of the Son of God. We are commanded to keep ourselves in the love of God. "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life." Jude 1:21

Remember what Paul the Apostle said, concerning Charity, Charity thinketh no evil. This is not to say Charity is blind. No. By no means. Because, Charity can see clearly, those that live in Charity will have tremendous patience and compassion upon even their enemies. Charity does not think evil of anyone. Because those that live in Charity are innocent they expect others to be the same. Anything else would be self-righteousness at best. If your all the time thinking that someone is out to get you, how can you rest? Thank God, we can rest in this hour! Thank God, We can cease from our own ideas and thoughts. It is high time to live by this NEW commandment. That we love one another, AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. Christ is saying something powerful here. Christ is commanding us to love one another as He loves us! The only way we can love one another as He has loves us, is to HAVE HIS LOVE! We must have the same Love of Christ in our hearts burning for one another. Jesus gave them this new commandment directly after Satan filled the heart of Judas. Judas went out to conspire against the Son of God and directly following, the Lord said to His disciples "A NEW COMMANDMENT I GIVE UNTO YOU." A new fresh command from the Captain of the Lord of Hosts! Let us who are of the Day take heed to this NEW COMMANDMENT and walk in LOVE.

Unfortunately, this is where most of us live at present.

Suspicious - a : the act or an instance of suspecting something wrong without proof or on slight evidence : mistrust b : a state of mental uneasiness and uncertainty :

In Closing:

Those that are suspicious live with a mental uneasiness and uncertainty. They don't have peace, so therefore they cannot live in peace with others that they are suspicious of. The remedy to this is, do not put your trust in anyone. Trust no man. Put all your trust in the Lord. Commit your whole heart to the Lord. Rest in Him. If you won't hear these words of council then you could live with a mental illness and ultimately become paranoid of everything and everyone. When this happens it's just a matter of time before you will loose your mind. Fear hath torment. We will not fear people or anything if we will know the fear of God and walk in His Love for us. Keep ourselves in this love of God and obey His greatest commandment, even a NEW COMMANDMENT. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2Ti 1:7

The Lord is not talking to the Church of Laodiceans as a whole, He is speaking to the individual as One on one. The words that the Lord used here are very important for us to understand.

 

The Lord uses the words thy,thou,thine,I,him and he, which are words that indicate a person or individual. Then He says very frankly "If any man hear My voice." The Church as a Body will not take heed to the council (advise) of the Lord. The Lord is not counseling the Church as a whole, he is counseling the individual person that will listen and take heed within the Church Body. "If any man hear My voice and opens the door." The message is a personal one. Very personal. God is looking for a true relationship with those that have separated themselves from sin, the world, the flesh, the devil. Those that are willing to come out of the Lukewarm condition in the Church. He is dealing with each one as One on one. That we might become leaders and lead others to become ONE. If The Lord has our hearts He has US. I mean He has ME. However if He has ME then He can use ME to reach others which becomes US. Those that are listening and applying Truth to their hearts are learning how to overcome every weakness of the flesh and sin and they are coming out more and more every day! Leaving the lukewarm behind them and going on with the Lord. These are they that follow the Lamb withersoever He went they are not defiled with the women (Church) they are virgins and without fault before the Throne of God. These are the ones that will sit with Him in His throne and rule with a rod of iron in His Kingdom. They have overcome even as He overcame. They followed Him by faith in the Scriptures. While others were following man these are the ones that had an ear to hear what the Spirit was saying. While others were listening to the opinions of men these ones were listening to Jesus through the Holy Ghost in the Holy Scriptures. These are the ones that have responded to the knocking of his voice on their hearts and opened their hearts to the Truth and are supping with Him in holy communion.

 

Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

 

Notice he did not say to the church of Laodicea. He said to the church of Laodicean(s) plural. Speaking to the indivuals.

 

Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

 

Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

 

Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Rev 3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Delight Thyself In The Lord

Psa 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

The Children of Israel lusted in the wilderness and God gave them their desire.  However God judged them with leanness in their soul.  Our wants and our desires will never please God.  Scripture teaches us that God will give us the desires of our heart when we delight ourselves in the Lord.  But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. Psa 106:14   And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. Psa 106:15

Delight - aw-nag'   be soft or pliable, that is, (figuratively) effeminate or luxurious: - delicate (-ness), (have) delight (self), sport self.

Desires - mish-aw-law'   a request: - desire, petition, that which is required.

This is someone that has desires that are the same as His. She longs to be all that He wants her to be. The innermost cry of her heart will be granted as she stays in her place. She must remain humble, pliable, soft, delicate towards Him. If we will be His He will be ours.

Luxurious - 1. Extremely comfortable, elegant, or enjoyable, esp. in a way that involves great expense:

The Courtship

The Lord desires a wife who enjoys luxurious things. Only the luxurious things His wife like are not the things of the carnal nature. Her riches are His riches. It is now the time during the courtship where He is getting to know her and she is getting to know Him. What he desires and what she desires. Do we desire the things that will please Him? Are the desires of your heart pleasing in His sight? Does He love what is in your heart? Do you love what He loves? Are you riches the same as His?

Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

What is your treasure? Answer this for yourself. If you don't know, this will take some time in prayer and In His Word. While you meditate on the Lord and His Words in quiet time alone with Him, you will see and learn much about yourself and about Him.

The Riches of His Kingdom - These are Scriptures to read and for deep meditation. Deep meditation. Let His Word work mightily in you!

Psa 104:24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
Pro 14:24 The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.
Pro 22:4 By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.
Isa 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. Rom 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
Rom 9:23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
Rom 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Eph 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Eph 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
Eph 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
1Ti 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
Heb 11:26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
Rev 5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

The Coming War In Heaven

Rev 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

Satan Manifesting As The Dragon

We are no longer dealing with a little serpent people. We are now up against the Dragon. Satan can manifest himself in many different forms. In the garden with Adam and Eve he manifested himself through a subtle and charming serpent. God allowed him to speak in the garden of Eden and tempt Adam and Eve. Up till now God has allowed the devil to manifest as a serpent but in these last days he is going to allow him to manifest himself in all his power against God's own people. He stands before, not against the Church. His focus is on what the Church (Women) is producing. The man-child is the Dragons greatest prize since the man-child is God's greatest work.

The War In Heaven

The Dragon's anger is not against the Church, at this time. His anger is against those in the Church, that are the greatest threat to him and his kingdom. The Dragon and his angels will try to stop the man-child from gaining access to the Throne of God to take their lawful positions. Their will be all out war in the Heavenlies against the Man-child. Michael and his angels will assist the overcomer, man-child company in accessing the Throne. Once the man-child is caught up to God and to His throne, the Church which is the Women that produced and gave birth to the man-child, will flee into the wilderness where she has a place prepared of God and be protected from the face of the serpent.

Satan The Dragon Is Defeated and Cast Down

At this time Satan is going to manifest himself in all his deception and wrath once the man-child has overcome him! Up till now Satan has only used deception however once he is cast down he will not only be manifesting as the subtle serpent through charm and flattery, he will also be manifesting as the Great Dragon with great wrath against those that are of the seed of Christ. We need to understand that Satan is not human. He is a spirit. He is diabolical in nature. He does not shew any mercy. He is just the opposite of God. God manifests His Love and Anger where as Satan only is evil and hateful. We see a foretaste of Satan manifesting himself as the Dragon during the holocaust when millions of Jews were savagely and brutally murdered under the influence and direction of the Dragon. Remember this was just a foretaste of what would come in these last days! Are we living in the last days?

Conclusion:

Even as God is pulling out all stops so the Devil is pulling out all stops. What does this mean to us and the world? This is War! This is not a game. This means War people. This is a War between two Seeds. Christ's Seed and the Serpent's Seed. All and I mean ALL those that are not born again of the incorruptible Seed of Christ who is the Word are the seed of Satan which is the Serpent and the Dragon. Jesus called them children of the Devil. This is war, Light against Darkness! Good against Evil! Love against Hate! Holy against Unclean, filthy and detestable. If we believe, we know who wins! If we don't believe God's Word then we are in trouble.

 

The Door Is Locked!

Wake up and unlock the door!

 

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! OPEN TO ME MY LOVE! DO YOU SENSE YOUR HEART POUNDING INSIDE YOUR CHEST? DO YOU SENSE HIS PASSION FOR YOU? OPEN TO ME! MY LOVE! I LOVE YOU!

 

Jesus will not remove the lock that He gave us for our own protection. Our will is our choice. We must remove the lock that is on the inside of the door of our heart. Our will must be removed, if He is going to come in and take us!

 

THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE IN THE SCRIPTURE WHERE THIS WORD "LOCK" IS FOUND. IT MEANS A "BOLT" OR SHOULD I SAY A "DEAD BOLT" If we don't surrender our will we will die. Remember the One that is on the otherside of the door is our LIFE! Christ is our Life! He is on the otherside of the "DEAD BOLT".

 

DO YOU TRULY LOVE HIM?

 

The word Knock here is not a love tap. This is not just a casual knock. This is the word for RAPPING! He is RAPPING ON THE DOOR! HIS VOICE IS RAPPING! HE IS SAYING OPEN THE DOOR! OPEN THE DOOR! LET ME IN! OPEN TO ME MY LOVE! IT'S ME! IT'S ME YOUR HEAVENLY BRIDEGROOM! I AM COME TO GET YOU! I AM COME TO TAKE YOU! WAKE UP! HE HAS BEEN OUT THERE ALL NIGHT LONG AND NOW THE SUN IS GONG TO BE COMING UP! JUST BEFORE THE SUN COMES UP, HE WITHDRAWS HIMSELF. IT's Almost The DAY of the LORD! JOY COMES IN THE MORNING! THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUNESS IS GOING ARISE WITH HEALING IN HIS WINGS! HE WITHDREW HIMSELF SO SHE WOULD WAKE UP AND RUN AFTER HIM! She is saying WAIT! WAIT LORD! WAIT FOR ME! DON'T GO! SHE CAN HEAR HIS VOICE, HER SOUL FAILS WHEN SHE HEARS HIS VOICE. HE DOES NOT GIVE HER AN ANSWER! WHY? BECAUSE HE IS THE ANSWER! FIND HIM AND YOU HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER TO ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. The thousands of questions that you thought you needed answers to are no longer an issue. He is all we need! HE IS ALL I NEED! HE IS MY ANSWER! HE IS THE ANSWER TO ALL OF LIFES QUESTIONS! HE IS THE ANSWER TO THE TEST! CHOOSE HIM AND YOU WILL PASS THE TEST WITH FLYING COLORS! DONT JUST CHOOSE 30% of HIM or 60% of HIM CHOOSE 100% of HIM! HE IS OUR ALL IN ALL! OUR ONE AND ONLY! OUR HEARTS ARE LOVE SICK FOR HIM! WE ARE SICK IN LOVE WITH HIM! WE ARE SICK UNTO DEATH IF WE CAN'T HAVE HIM! WE WILL DIE WITHOUT HIM!

Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

 

Son 5:5 I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.

Luke 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

If we are going to prevail and overcome we must loose our own will. We must overcome EVEN as He overcame.

Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

 

Surrendering Our Stubburn Wills

Song 5:5 I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.

Two words I would like to deal with here.

Handles - The handles is connected to the dead bolt lock. The handles is a very strong and stubborn bar.

Lock (Dead Bolt) - The lock is connected to the handles. The handles must be lifted and removed for the lock or dead bolt to be removed. Spiritually speaking the our STUBBORN WILLS must be removed before the door can be open to our hearts. Due to the fallen nature our wills have become STUBBORN. GOD is not going to violate our wills. We must humble ourselves and surrender our wills willingly. This is something we do. It's our choice. It does not matter if God choices an individual, this individual must be willing to obey. Example Saul of Tarsus. It was not enough that God chose Saul to be a chosen vessel to bear His Name before he Gentiles, Paul still had to agree with God. Same with anyone else. God has done everything He is going to do. Now it's up to us to surrender to His will for our life.

Luke 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

Son 6:1 Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.

He is waiting for you in the GARDEN! NOT MY WILL BUT THINE BE DONE! Are you willing to give up your will for His will?

Luke 22:44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

TRUTH ALWAYS BRINGS SEPERATION

Did you know that the word division is only found six times in the whole Bible? We will look at a few of these Scriptures below.

First a few questions:

Are you willing to be divided, from those that reject and fall away, from the Truth in this hour? Will you stand for Jesus who is the Truth? John 14:6 Will you follow afar off and warm yourself with the fire of the World in this Hour? The Hour of Temptation is coming upon us! Rev 3:10 Will you stand for Truth or will you compromise the Truth in fear of offending someone? You must understand, that the Truth always, divides and separates the good from the evil. It's not us that does the dividing it's the Truth of God's Word. You will be hated and persecuted for the Truth. Are you ready to stand for Truth with a pure heart? If what you believe brings division from what the majority want then you will be called a troublemaker. Remember Ahab called Elijah a troublemaker. Are you willing to be called worse than a troublemaker? Are you willing to be persecuted for His righteousness sake? Matthew 5:10

Exo 8:23 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.

We know that Antichrist will come and bring a false Peace
Luke 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Luke 12:52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Luke 12:53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
John 7:43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
John 9:16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
John 10:19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

Conclusion of the Matter:

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
I hope your choice is the same as our choice.
but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD

A Falling Away First From Truth

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 
He Gave Them Their Desire
The Falling Away First that we see in Scripture 2Th 2:3, is not referring to those that would stop going to Church, as much as it is speaking concerning, those that would fall away from the Truth of God's Word. Their are many in this hour that think they are going to see many people stop going to Church. However many will still fill the Apostate Churches, they just won't fill the true House of Bread. The Churches that still have life giving bread are churches that hold to the Truth. These are churches that teach separation from the world and sin. Many in this hour are turning their ears away from the Truth, only to have their ears tickled by the Apostate Church of this hour. God is giving them their desire even as he gave Israel their desire. God gave them quail until in was literally coming out of their nostrils. He gave them their desire, however He sent LEANNESS into their souls. As I personally sat in a church service, listening to a minister of the Gospel on Sunday morning, he was preaching concerning the Word of God being our Sword. He went on to say, that we should only use the KJV Bible and that all other translations were not inspired of the Holy Ghost. He told us to lift our Bible over our heads and to repeat after him that our Bibles were are our Sword. He mentioned how that he had just got back from visiting the largest Christian book store in the United States. He said the place was wall to wall books about the Bible however their was only one little tiny section for the Bible itself. When he said that, The Spirit spoke to me and said, "It's just quail." The Lord was telling me, that all these books that men are writing about the Bible, are just going to feed the flesh. Remember God gave them their desire. However He sent leanness into their souls. Psalms 78:26-31 
Charismatic Movement
Many are settling for this Charismatic spirit in this hour. They make all kinds of noise in their meetings, only to leave empty. It's just noise! Joshua heard a noise at the bottom of the Mountain and thought it was the sound of war. Moses the Man of God that was just with God and receiving the Ten Commandments from God, was told by God exactly what was going on down at the bottom of the Mountain. God told Moses, "They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. Ex 32:8  Many today think the sound that is heard in the Charismatic Churches is the Holy Spirit. This spirit that has come to corrupt people in this hour and even God's own people is not the Holy Spirit. The sound that is heard in these Charismatic churches is not the sound of those being moved on by the Holy Ghost. This is the spirit of Antichrist that is masquerading around like it's the real when it is without doubt an unclean spirit. It's a seducing spirit and it's working with devils that are teaching heresies and even teaching people to deny the Lord Jesus Christ. If the message you are hearing in any church is not separation from the World, Sin, Flesh and Satan then it's not the Holy Spirit. The Truth always separates from the False. 
False Unity
The spirit today that is calling all denominations together is not the Holy Spirit. This is the spirit of Antichrist. The only unity that the Scriptures teach is the Unity of the Brethren, The unity of the Spirit and the Unity of the Faith. This true unity is not for true believers to gather themselves together with unbelievers. You have forgotten the Scripture from the Apostle Paul, Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2Co 6:14 
 True Biblical Unity 
I. Unity of The Brethren -  Psa 133:1 A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 
II. Unity of The Spirit - Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 
III. Unity of The Faith - Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 
A Strong Warning!
I strongly warn you as the Lord has given me commandment. Beware of this false unity and come out from among them. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 2Co 6:17
