Come Out from Among Them: When God Reveals Your Circle

As believers pressing deeper into Christ—those who are truly walking in the Spirit, not just professing Him with lips but honoring Him with obedience—there comes a sobering reality: God will begin to expose those around you.

You may not have asked for it, but as you mature spiritually, God in His mercy begins to reveal those in your circle who are not walking with Him, even if they appear religious. He shines light into relationships, exposes hidden motives, and removes what doesn’t belong in the life of someone He has sanctified.

Discernment Is Protection

“But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you... and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”
—1 John 2:27 (KJV)

If you're truly led by the Holy Ghost, He will not allow you to remain in darkness. As you draw near to Christ, His Spirit begins to discern and divide—not in cruelty, but in protection. He knows what friendships will pull you back into compromise. He knows what alliances will drain your zeal for righteousness.

Sometimes it is subtle—a word spoken out of season, a carnal mindset, an appetite for the things of this world. To others, it may look like nothing. But to the one walking closely with the Lord, it is a spiritual warning.

The Call to Be Separate

“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.”
—2 Corinthians 6:17 (KJV)

This command is not optional. Those who walk with God must be set apart. This does not mean you walk in pride or isolate yourself in arrogance—but that you heed the call to holiness.

Too many today want one foot in the church and one foot in the culture. But compromise is not consecration. You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils (1 Corinthians 10:21). If someone around you is still flirting with the world, no matter how “Christian” they sound, their spiritual influence will contaminate your walk if you’re not vigilant.

The Tragedy of Lukewarm Faith

“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm... I will spue thee out of my mouth.”
—Revelation 3:15–16 (KJV)

The lukewarm believer poses the most danger—not only to themselves but to others. They claim Christ but deny Him in behavior. They blend in with the world yet speak in spiritual tones. This contradiction is exactly why Jesus says, “I will spew thee out.” It is repulsive to claim allegiance to a holy God while living a life that mirrors the culture.

When God removes such people from your life, do not resist. He sees the full picture. He sees the secret sin, the compromised theology, the subtle rebellion masked as grace. He is sanctifying His Bride.

Modern-Day Application: Prophetic Clarity in Community

We are living in perilous times. The wheat and the tares are growing together, but the time of separation is coming (Matthew 13:30). False brethren abound, deceiving and being deceived. Not everyone who quotes Scripture follows Christ. Not everyone who calls Him "Lord" will enter the Kingdom (Matthew 7:21).

This is not the season for casual Christianity or soft alliances. It is a time to examine your circle. Are those around you drawing you nearer to Jesus—or pulling you back into the world?

A Call to Repentance and Separation

“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
—2 Timothy 3:5 (KJV)

Let the Spirit search your heart. Let Him highlight relationships that need to shift. Let Him expose counterfeit connection masquerading as fellowship. And let Him lead you back to the narrow path.

Repent if you’ve stayed in circles that God called you to leave. Repent if you’ve tolerated sin in the name of false unity. Repent if you've prioritized comfort over consecration.

Come out. Be separate. And walk boldly in the Spirit.

The Gospel Invitation

  1. Confess your sin. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins...” (1 John 1:9)

  2. Believe in Christ. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved...” (Acts 16:31)

  3. Be born again. “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3)

Jesus is not just Savior—He is Lord. And to walk with Him is to walk in holiness.

Conclusion

So ask yourself today: Has God been highlighting people in your life who no longer align with where He’s taking you? Do not ignore the red flags. Trust His leading. Obedience is better than attachment.

Your walk with Christ is worth the separation.

From Fear to Freedom: How Trusting God Leads to Abundant Life

Introduction: Abundance Through Dependence   In a culture that exalts independence and self-reliance, the idea of finding life through dependence on God is foreign—even offensive. But in the Kingdom of God, the way up is down, the way to victory is surrender, and the way to life is death to self.   Jesus said:      “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”     ( John 10:10, KJV )   Yet this abundant life is not achieved by striving or control. It is experienced by learning to live in Him, through Him, and with Him—moment by moment, especially when life gets hard. Tough Times as Training Grounds for Intimacy   Our natural instinct is to avoid discomfort. But Scripture teaches us that trials are often the very means by which we grow in intimacy with God:      “It is good for me that I have been afflicted;     that I might learn thy statutes.”     ( Psalm 119:71, KJV )   Difficult seasons sharpen our spiritual senses.

💰 Digital Chains, Global Power & the Coming Beast System

The Prophetic Implications of AI, Blockchain, and the World Financial Reset 📖 "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark... And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…” — Revelation 13:16–17 (KJV) A global transformation is underway—an economic, political, and technological realignment happening in plain sight. While the world debates left vs. right, East vs. West, and nation vs. nation, Scripture reveals that a singular world system is forming . Its aim? Absolute control of humanity. And the foundation of this control will be economic. The financial system that undergirds the current world order is being dismantled—and what rises in its place aligns with the prophesied Beast system foretold in Revelation 13. 🔁 From Gold Standard to Global Blockchain: The Setup The U.S. economic shift unfolded in the shadow of Nixon’s 1971 removal of the dollar from the gold standard.

Learning to Walk with God in Intimacy, Not Fear

"For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." —Romans 8:15 (KJV) One of the most transformative lessons the Lord teaches His children—especially in seasons of testing—is how to truly see Him. Not merely as a distant judge seated high on a throne, but as a tender, patient, and loving Father. The problem is, many of us, especially in the early stages of our walk, don’t know how to make that shift. We approach Him with hesitation. We hide our weakness. We fall into condemnation. And all the while, the enemy—our accuser—whispers lies that drive us further from intimacy with the One who loves us most. But let me tell you plainly: you will never grow in Christ the way you are meant to unless you learn to relate to God as your Father. The War No One Talks About “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” —2 Timothy 3:12 (KJV) Being a Christian ...
