Let us hear the words of the Father:

"If one of My children fails to enter in by the narrow path THEN they shall "allow" themselves to be guided and influenced by the forces of darkness - ending up in a place wherein "self" is still on the throne of their heart. Thus, they are "devoid" of any true spiritual knowledge, and their motivations and goals are not of Me, and the "kingdom" they seek to establish is one wherein they themselves are exalted. I do not say that these ones are "conscious" of their folly; indeed, they have "allowed" themselves to be deluded, and thus they can do nothing other than abuse the "authority" they have been given as a child of Mine. They do not seek to establish "My" Kingdom in love, but rather they seek to establish themselves in a "position" wherein they are continually esteemed by flesh and blood - without any "true" regard for the Truth.

Truly I say to you, these "unholy ones", these sons and daughters of disobedience, are a short time from stepping out beyond the "covenants of promise" which protect continually all those who truly love Me - those who are willing to exercise faith and walk in love at all cost to themselves; and though it grieves My heart to see any of My children turn their back on My Word, nevertheless, the "fullness of time" has arrived for the "absoluteness" of My Judgment upon My house to be manifested. For as I look upon the congregations of My people I see much fear and much sin, and thus much evidence of the deadly effects of the "law of sin and death"! And now you shall begin to see clearly, those in My Church who have truly loved Me and those who have not! For Satan and his forces shall "claw" and "maul" all those of My children who have "wandered" out into his territory (the world) through their own pride and rebellion! All those of My children who have sought Me from a pure heart are able to discern the things I speak of. The ones who shall be "trapped" by the Evil One are the very ones who have a "false revelation" of My grace and My mercy. This counterfeit revelation (darkness) continually "assures" them that they can do just as they please. They have become deluded into believing that there is always forgiveness for their "willful actions" (rebellion). But truly I say to you, there is no such thing as forgiveness for an "unrepentant" heart! For the unrepentant heart seeks not its forgiveness with a view to a perfect obedience in the carrying out of My will, but so that it may continue on in its evil ways in peace and comfort!

Is it not written that I am not mocked, and that what a man sows, that he will also reap? Hold fast My beloved ones, for the time for Me to "exalt" all those of My "chosen ones" - all those who have sought only to carry out My will - has come. Indeed, all those of My children who are seeking after righteousness shall "know" in their hearts and "see" with their eyes a great "void" in the leadership of My church, and in one accord they shall cry out to Me for the advent of the last wave of My five-fold ministry, and I shall send forth My holy apostles and prophets to "lift up" (elevate) My children to the plane of holiness and righteousness which exists FAR ABOVE the "principalities and powers" and all of the hosts of darkness. And THEN shall the earth (world) see My true Church in all Her Glory, and the world in all its darkness shall be "turned upside down" and the multitudes shall begin to "flow towards the one true Light!"

There are many of My children who have settled themselves squarely into a place of "comfort", that is, they have sought a place wherein their "warfare" is not "too hard" and where they "deem" the "loss of the benefits" of perfect obedience as not being "too costly" to their "well-being". But truly I say to you, if a thorough repentance is not forthcoming, then the attacks that the Evil One has planned for them shall lay them to waste, and all the "security" that they thought would hold them in good stead shall be as ashes in the wind!

When I call My children to "calculate the cost", the cost they are calculating is the choice between abundant life and the death and darkness which comes from "any" alignment with the Evil One and his lies. If one truly seeks to "calculate the cost" then they shall not be long in coming to a clear revelation that My will, at anytime, is the best course for them. When one of My children continually calculates the cost, and thus continually chooses life over death, then in due time their "struggle" will lessen and they shall no longer make any provision for the flesh. The call to "calculate the cost" was never meant by Me to be a "hard thing", but rather it is a "necessary point in time" where My children must choose their "allegiance". For it is in this choosing that they fix themselves "wholly" upon the thing which they have chosen, and if they have chosen My provision then they shall continue on from faith to faith and glory to glory, to fulfill the ministry that I have called them to".
