Easy For Some, Difficult for Others

It can be said a hundred million gazillion times, and still the majority will miss it.  God is real. Heaven is real. Hell is real.  And our actions, or lack thereof, will dictate where we spend eternity.

We are born into this world with gifts and callings from the Most High God.  And yet, so many know not what they are called to do, gifted to be, nor do they know nor understand their purpose in the earth.

But for those of us who do know our giftings and callings; because we know and understand our purpose in the earth, it is that much more difficult and greater the task to fulfill our purpose. We labor not only in our vineyard, but we labor in the vineyards of so many others because the commission from on High is to win souls by feeding His sheep.

Seems easy enough, but there is so much more to winning souls than handing out a track, or inviting someone to church, or praying for someone. All of these actions are a “one and done” type way believed to win souls.  And most likely, the track you handed out ended up as liter on the ground; you extended an invitation to a church that Holy Spirit isn’t in – its just all religion and flesh; and you said you would pray with or for someone, and your prayers aren’t even reaching heaven! You don’t know The Lord!

So here is where the labor is greater for the true believers, those of us who are spiritual, that is our spirit is akin to The Lord; we are filled with and governed by the Spirit of God :

Galatians 6:1 New King James Version

Bear and Share Burdens

6 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

It is not easy to convince others, without offending them, that they are living a life that is not pleasing to the Lord.  I have found, more often than not, especially in this gifting, that those who are not spiritual don’t believe what you are telling them.  Especially if they are a train wreck just waiting to happen, and you try to warn them to change the course of their life, they not only reject the word of the Lord, but they pull away from you, thinking out of sight – out of mind. And yet, it is a loving and faithful God, that is trying to save you from yourself and give you a more abundant life here on earth.  

John 10:10 New King James Version

10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Not to mention, securing your salvation, because while you are nowhere close to thinking about what happens to you after you die, He is and He sends His servants to labor in your vineyard (seek to save the lost souls).   

You see, your adversary, the thief, has come to steal your very life from you. Whatever you want, he will give it to you, as long as you agree (get into a covenant and you didn’t even realize you just entered into a contractual agreement - often verbal ) with him.  You want wealth? You want attention? You want acceptance and approval from man instead of from God? He will influence you to go after it by any means necessary, because the way you get it is probably contrary to His Word in the scriptures, illegal, dangerous, or destroys others; and now he has gotten a (“2 for”…or bogo by one get one - your deeds and actions affected more than just you) and

Isaiah 5:14 New Century Version

14 So the place of the dead wants more and more people,
    and it opens wide its mouth.
Jerusalem’s important people and common people will go down into it,
    with their happy and noisy ones.

Hell just gets larger and larger because so many end up there.  And those that are there, are begging and pleading that their loved ones listen to the prophets and the pastors and get saved while on earth, and live right so that they don’t end up there. And yet to little or no avail. Just as they didn’t listen, thinking Hell couldn’t happen to them, so is the case for so many here on earth living in sin, thinking it is “living their best life” enjoying “living the dream”. Make no mistake sin is enticing. It looks good and it feels good. It is all a deception.

A great part of my calling is souls.  I am to cry loud and spare not. I have a tremendous burden for souls.  And it is frustrating because most people think they are ok.  “I’m not a bad person” or “I give to the poor and the needy” or “I can’t imagine if God is loving that He would send me to Hell”; I hear it all the time.  And if you knew the scriptures you would know, it is not always commission of sin but also omission that makes it a sin.  In other words, yes there are sins that are committed that keep you from eternal life, but there is also disobedience that will cause you not to enter into Heaven and have eternal life. 

For example, if I were not doing these blog posts, releasing a word as His prophetess, and teaching and preaching His word, praying for souls all day every day, I would be guilty of sin by omission.  I didn’t do what He told me to do.

And you know my confession: “I ain’t going to Hell for nobody…”, I mean that! Listen, keep your money He told you to sow, reject the Word of His servant, lie and destroy mine or anyone’s character (He heard you); commit or omit sin, but rest assured I am not joining you; I am not contending with you, and I am doing anything more than what I am called, gifted, and purposed to do.  And I do it willingly, with joy and gladness.

How you may ask, can I stay focused in the midst of all that? Because I am spiritual as mentioned in Galatians 6:1 and I am tasked to restore you who has been taken or caused to sin. I live in the presence of the Almighty God, and I experience His love, His grace, His mercy, and I am surrounded and clothed in His very nature; I hear His voice and obey.  I do His Will, His way - and you should too. And when you live in such a way, His love overtakes you and you want the world to experience Him.  Therefore, read Galatians 6:1 again, but this time read the entire chapter and in the Amplified Bible translation:

Galatians 6 Amplified Bible

Bear One Another’s Burdens

6 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any sin, you who are spiritual [that is, you who are responsive to the guidance of the Spirit] are to restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness [not with a sense of superiority or self-righteousness], keeping a watchful eye on yourself, so that you are not tempted as well. 2 Carry one another’s burdens and in this way you will fulfill the requirements of the law of Christ [that is, the law of Christian love]. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something [special] when [in fact] he is nothing [special except in his own eyes], he deceives himself. 4 But each one must carefully scrutinize his own work [examining his actions, attitudes, and behavior], and then he can have the personal satisfaction and inner joy of doing something commendable without comparing himself to another. 5 For every person will have to bear [with patience] his own burden [of faults and shortcomings for which he alone is responsible].

6 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]. 7 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. 8 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. 9 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. 10 So then, while we [as individual believers] have the opportunity, let us do good to all people [not only being helpful, but also doing that which promotes their spiritual well-being], and especially [be a blessing] to those of the household of faith (born-again believers).

11 See with what] large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. 12 Those who want to make a good impression in public [before the Jews] try to compel you to be circumcised, just so they will escape being persecuted for [faithfulness to] the cross of Christ. 13 For even the circumcised [Jews] themselves do not [really] keep the Law, but they want to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh [that is, in the fact that they convinced you to be circumcised]. 14 But far be it from me to boast [in anything or anyone], except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For neither is circumcision anything [of any importance], nor uncircumcision, but [only] a new creation [which is the result of a new birth—a spiritual transformation—a new nature in Christ Jesus]. 16 Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule [who discipline themselves and conduct their lives by this principle], and upon the [true] Israel of God (Jewish believers).

17 From now on let no one trouble me [by making it necessary for me to justify my authority as an apostle, and the absolute truth of the gospel], for I bear on my body the branding-marks of Jesus [the wounds, scars, and other outward evidence of persecutions—these testify to His ownership of me].

18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, my brothers and sisters. Amen.

The Apostle Paul in his letter (Galatians 6) was exhorting the people who are spiritual to win souls. But to do so in humility, kindness, and meekness. And if you are not spiritual, do not pretend to be spiritual, trying to impress people. I am so tired of those that pretend to be so deep and so spiritual, as if we who are spiritual cannot discern or see the fakeness. Throughout scripture, there are warnings about doing that foolishness. Those of us who are spiritual know that it is nothing to brag about - it is a literal spiritual battle and it is constant, as Apostle Paul goes on to say, we bear the stigma of being lied upon, rejected, and often times humiliated for the sake of the Cross of Christ, and yet we do so with gladness, knowing that our reward is eternal life and we rejoice in that. We bear the burdens of the lost, those that think they are in right standing with the Lord, and yet if they took their last breath today:

Ezekiel 8:18 New King James Version

Therefore I also will act in fury. My eye will not spare nor will I have pity; and though they cry in My ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.”

The Lord is not human and He does not “feel” the way we feel through emotions, which is why Jesus came in the flesh in a body, because He does understand what it is to be human and have human emotions.

Hebrews 4:15 New King James Version

15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

Do not waste, nor spend your life here on earth in sin and not knowing The Lord.  Learn of the scriptures for yourself, or find yourself a true Apostle or a true Prophet and be taught of the Word of Lord and the scriptures.  Make it your resolve today, to do God’s will God’s way.

Hebrews 3:13 New King James Version

13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Don’t wait until tomorrow. Chase your salvation as if your very life depends upon it, because it does!

Peace and Grace and His Mercy be unto you.

In His loving kindness,

Apostle & Prophetess, Wendy Connor
