The devil is working hard to isolate family members who love the Lord, hoping to make them discouraged for lack of companionship, disabling their tenacity in sharing the truth.
I am all over bondage to anyone, I thank the Lord that I can let anyone go, if it means compromising my Christianity to keep them. When Christ was rejected, He didn't fight to convince, He simply walked away.
We are never alone when Christ lives in us! May those who have experienced this separation keep in mind that the devil thinks he is ruining believers through this isolation, when in fact he is only bringing peace and freedom from drama.
May the believers ask the Lord what His love is, our concept of love in this culture is not the love of the Bible, it is false emotional love that has little value for reconciling and maintaining relationships.
This worlds love is based on how others can make us feel or enhance our own life. God's love is far deeper than that and completely sacrificial. By sacrificial I mean a willingness to give up something we desire for the sake of another as well as being willing to be rejected to hold out for the greater good for ourselves and others.
Love is not always happy feelings, sometimes it is hard and lonely, until we can see how God is going to work, we must be committed to His principles of Love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
1 Corinthians 16:14
Let all that you do be done in love.

Matthew 22:36-40
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

We devalue a human life by not requiring the death penalty for one who has taken a life, making the life of the murderer more important than the life of the victim.
When we do not punish evil doers, we validate their evil and devalue their victims.
Avoid those who would attempt to goad us into anger and conflict, they bring nothing to the relationship. These people want to cause us to do something fleshly in anger, to discredit Christ.
Romans 16:17-18 "17 Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them. 18 For such as these are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.…"
Indifference is a cousin to hate! To be indifferent, uncaring and unconcerned, we are saying we don't care. It is hateful to be "careless."
1 John 5:2-4 "…2 By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome, 4 because everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.…"
How do we love our brethren? We do it by obeying Christ. If we obey Christ we will care deeply about the welfare of our brothers and sisters, more than we care about their response to us. We will be concerned with their walk with Christ.
Jude 1:22-23 "…22 And indeed, have mercy on those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them from the fire; and to still others, show mercy tempered with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh."
Please listen to the very important message at the end.
There is no such thing as a born again "Catholic", who remains in the Catholic church. Participating in the paganism that is continual and rampant throughout the rituals of the Catholic church would only serve to annoy and frustrate a true born again believer, they could not stay to endure it.
Even if a Catholic doesn't know all the decrees of the hierarchy of that system, the Holy Spirit within them would continually stir in anguish about the Mass, and it's abominations.
If someone calls themselves a "born again Catholic" while remaining in the church is either in serious disobedience or never became born again. In most cases those who refuse to leave after declaring that they are a "born again Catholic", have never been born again, they merely adopted the language of the Evangelicals, the heart has not been changed, only the lingo.
Sadly, there are many Christians today who think that if a Catholic declares he is born again, then the Catholic church is nothing more than another Christian denomination.
This is the end times deception! The melding together of all religions into one, has been the goal of the Vatican. Those who believe a practicing Catholic can be born again and remain Catholic have been deceived, falling into the trap of the devil.
We need to be witnessing truth to the Catholic community and encouraging anyone who says they are born again to get out of that wicked system.
Please don't anyone come to me and try to convince me that they know of a Catholic who is a good person and uses all the right Evangelical verbiage, that this person is a born again believer. It ought to grieve us to see this, we ought to warn them that if they have been born again they must leave that evil system.
It has been the practice of the Catholic church to add to their church the elements of other religions to draw in those who have never been Catholic. Using language that sounds good while acting righteously, does not save anyone, it is merely a craftiness of the devil to mock and demean Christ.
If you know someone who claims to be a "born again Catholic", do not jump up and down with excitement, praising them up and down while calling them your brother. WARN THEM!
