MAY 7, 2023

In early 2020 after the plague of COVID-19 started to move across the world, our ministry was given the word, "Separation and Preparation." This word is still an absolute necessity if we are to hear from God.

What the Word did not mean is separate themselves from the body of Christ. Laws were passed that forced many to "distance" themselves from others. This caused people to separate from loved ones and others, even in some churches. Many are still wearing masks, believing it will protect them even though that mandate to wear masks will be rescinded this May.

This kind of separation is unhealthy spiritually and is not the kind of separation that God was speaking of. He wants us to separate ourselves from the things of the world and draw closer to him.

Then there is the word preparation that God also gave us. This can have more than one meaning. Preparing our hearts to walk in integrity and ridding ourselves of sin is the most important preparation, but preparing in the natural for what is soon to come on the earth is essential. Many think things are going to get better, but they are not. Things will begin to spiral downwards faster than ever. Many will be caught off guard because they will not have food or essentials to get by because they didn't prepare.

Many will not be prepared when they suffer for righteousness sake. Many will not be prepared when they face death because of the conditions of the world.

Separation and Preparation? Yes, they are still what God is saying, and we pray that you are doing that. It can be a matter of life or death. Choose life. Be separated unto God, and prepared for what is to come.

God bless you,
