AN ABOMINATION

Proverbs 6:6 says, “These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto Him.”

Strong’s concordance defines abomination (8441) as something morally disgusting, an abhorrence. It applies to such things as idols or idolatry.

In verse 19 it describes the 7^th which God called an abomination. It is “he that soweth discord among the brethren,” which is placed at a greater abhorrence than lying, falsely accusing an innocent person, pridefulness, wicked imaginations (plans, plotting), looking for trouble (mischief) or even killing the innocent ones.

Really? Worse than all these? Why?

The first six things mentioned mostly affect one person or perhaps a couple others. However, sowing discord can affect a larger number of people adversely. It can disrupt entire organizations, government, churches, and businesses.

There are any number of ways discord or strife can be stirred up. Rumors are one such way. Coming against leadership is another. Planting seed that can lead to doubt is another.

Jesus taught us to love everybody. He did not teach us to criticize. Paul even told us in Ephesians 4:11-13 that we, the church, are given leaders (vs. 11) for our maturity (perfecting) until (vs. 13) “we all come in unity of the faith…” There is no room for argumentative division. Even if there are differences of opinion, we are to work it out in an amicable manner rather than arguing about it. Arguments cause strife and discord.

Who would have thought that God would abhor (hate) discord more than murdering innocent people?

Folks, we need to work out our disagreements in a civil manner. Criticism or “trash talking” sows discord. If something bothers you so badly that you cannot contain it, then talk to God about it. Let Holy Spirit help you to navigate those troubled waters.

Jesus said in Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.” Even in disagreements, be the peacemaker, not the troublemaker.

BE INSTANT IN SEASON

Timothy was a disciple of the Apostle Paul. He taught him what he needed to know about ministry, how to raise up leaders in the church and what their job would entail. He taught him about end times and more. He discipled Timothy so he was ready to be a soldier for God.

In 2 Timothy 4, Paul charges Timothy with instructions. In 4:2-3 Paul said, “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.”

Paul is warning Timothy to always be ready to preach the word. He was to be instantly ready to reprove, rebuke, and exhort those he preached to. He was to always be ready with a message when Holy Spirit said “Now.”

In 2 Timothy 2:3 Paul told Timothy to “endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” You see, we are in a war between God and Satan. Satan is looking for those he can lure into his kingdom, but we also must be looking for those that need to come into the kingdom of God.

Any good soldier always has his weapon ready to take out the enemy. He has his rifle loaded and ready. He is on the offensive, not the defense always ready for battle. He is an example of being “instant in season.”

We must be like that soldier. We must always be ready to share the good news of Jesus Christ when Holy Spirit leads us. If not, we will see the enemy take out those that God wanted to bring in. A soldier must be vigilant at all times and not go AWOL when things are hard. He knows the price that one pays to be on the battlefield because as Paul said in 2 Timothy 2:3 there would be hardness. A soldier knows he may get wounded, or even lose his life for the “cause.”

This is our example my friends, to also be soldiers in God’s kingdom, “instant in season.”

PROPHETIC WORD

AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS

For this is the hour, this is the hour, saith the Lord for I am opening doors that no man can shut and shutting doors that no man can open. For this is not the hour to be riding the fence. You will see that the doors I am shutting are for your own benefit and good saith the Lord. For I have a plan that is different from the one that you have been on. Oh, you have seen part of it, but I am calling you to me to go with my plan one hundred percent. Do not look to man to unveil what I am about to do for man will fail you. Do not look to your intellect to reason out what I am going to do, for Satan will bombard your mind with many thoughts of deception. Come to me my child and let me remove the hindrances so that you can blossom the way I have intended you to. It has been a dark season, and now I am bringing light into your life so that you will grow more than ever, yet you must allow me to prune those things away that will hold you back. Many have enjoyed this dark time for they have withdrawn into themselves instead of coming to me, the light of their soul, and bringing their very being into the light. Oh, that my children would surrender their will to mine. Oh, that my children would listen to my voice and follow me all the way. Many have gone so far, but I am calling you to total commitment. There will be many dark days ahead, but the light I am shining on your path will keep you safe and secure. There are many things that are coming soon to pass that will bring much fear, but I would say, let me take all fear and doubt away as you come into my presence and spend time to me. Just as a tree must shed its leaves and there is a dormant season, this is the time you have been in and are in. To birth the new leaves, the tree must get rid of the old. Old wineskins would burst when the new wine is put in, so you, also, must be willing to shed the old and let me dress you in the new. This is your hour to go forward and do what I have called you to do. There is no time to contemplate when I call you to myself. There is no time to reason it out. Walk in the spirit, and you will hear my voice. I will show you the way. Come unto me now and be made new. Come unto me now and feel the weight of my glory as it comes upon you. This is so necessary for you, my child. I love you and I am calling to you. Come to me now saith the Lord.

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

2-15-2023

One of the hardest decisions you’ll have to make in life can be; Knowing when to put your hands up in surrender, throw in the towel, quit it all and walk away...OR do you simply bite your tongue, swallow your pride, pray, accept things the way they are, try a harder and just move on with life?
