Hindering Love

I have personally heard of at least six cases of appendicitis or suspected appendicitis among believers in my network of facebook friends in the last week. I'm praying for all these families and their loved ones, and resisting the attack of the enemy against bodies... but I think there is something more...bigger picture for the church...to this...

I asked the Lord if this is highlighting anything, and I feel like he is saying something to the church as a whole through this...to be clear, this is not a message of warning to the people suffering with appendix issues, but rather I believe it is a sign on the earth of a spiritual reality unfolding. Like the moon turning red...God has no problem with the moon, but allows it to become red as a sign to the people that see it.

The etymology of the word "appendix" indicates the root of the word is Latin for "hang upon." The use or function of the appendix is unknown, and it becomes inflamed for unknown reasons and can rupture, infect the rest of the body, and create severe pain. Removing causes no problems.

Right now, I feel the Lord is warning the church to cut ties with whatever it is that hinders burning love...all in wholehearted love for Jesus...and anything that causes lukewarmness. He is about to touch the seven churches.... Specifically Ephesus and Laodicea and inflame the worthless. Materialism, gossip, slander, passivity, coarse and even dark entertainment, hedonism, drunkenness, reviling....these are about to rupture and cause severe pain. Cut them out now, while there is time.

From WebMD:

"The function of the appendix is unknown. One theory is that the appendix acts as a storehouse for good bacteria, “rebooting” the digestive system after diarrheal illnesses. Other experts believe the appendix is just a useless remnant from our evolutionary past. Surgical removal of the appendix causes no observable health problems.

Appendix Conditions

Appendicitis: For unclear reasons, the appendix often becomes inflamed, infected, and can rupture. This causes severe pain in the right lower part of the belly, along with nausea and vomiting."

Revelation 2:5“Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.

Revelation 3:15“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.

16“So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

17“Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—

18“I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

19“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

Many who refuse to repent will be cast out by offense...the very thing you hang onto can carry you out as Jesus purges every unclean thing from what will be a pure and spotless Bride.

2 Thessalonians 2:1Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,

2not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.

3Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,

The falling away is going to increase exponentially this summer. Get ready now. Don't wait until the offense and disappointment begins rupturing in the body.

Matthew 24:8“All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.

10“And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.

11“Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.

12“And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.

13“But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
