Spiritual Division

The God we serve is a God of Division. I know that doesn't sound spiritual, particularly given that at the same time, the God we serve is a God of Unity (Ephesians 4). However, there comes a time when for the sake of Judgment and Divine Distinction, God creates Division and Separation. This Divine Division is for the Manifestation of who Belongs to Him and who does not, and what is Of Him and what is not. As the Season of Judgment, Divine Judgment, swiftly approaches, you want to make sure that you're on the right side of the Spiritual Division.

The first aspect of Spiritual Division that needs to be recognized is Spiritual Circumcision. God has called us as His children to circumcise our hearts (Romans 2). When we do this under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, a Spiritual Division takes place within the inner chambers of hearts and souls. Let me say on the front end that the circumcision process is a painful one because you're cutting something off that is generally dear and close to you. For this reason, more than a few believers in Christ choose to by-pass this spiritual discipline. The only problem is, there's a price to pay for that. You forfeit the Blessing of God because there's no recognizable distinction in your heart between that which is of God and that which is not. Even though the eternal status of your soul may be covered by the Blood of Jesus Christ, your heart is not conditioned for the witness of Spiritual Division. Therefore, you are judged accordingly. Remember, God is no respecter of persons (Romans 2).

Then there's the aspect of Spiritual Division in regards to relationships and association. There are some people that, if we're going to be all that God has called us to be, we can no longer associate with or be in relationship with. The first thing that Jehovah told Abraham (Abram at the time) when He called him to possess the Land of Canaan, was to separate from his father and his family (Genesis 12). This was the call to Spiritual Division. God says in 2Corinthians 6, "come out from among them and be ye separate". Spiritual Division. Even Jesus, when told that his mother and siblings wanted to see Him, His response was, "who is My mother, who are my brethren?...for whosoever shall do the will of My Father which is in Heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother" (Matthew 12). Spiritual Division.

Lastly saints, we need to be cognizant of Spiritual Division in regards to choosing what Spiritual Realm we're going to operate in. We're coming upon a day when there's going to be a marked Spiritual Distinction between the Realm of the World and the Realm of Heaven. The Realm of the Natural and the Realm of the Supernatural. Let me say very quickly that just because you're saved, just because you confess Jesus Christ as your Personal Lord and Savior, doesn't mean you qualify to operate in the Heavenly Realm. There will be a new Dimension of Reality that certain believers will be called to, that will manifest the operation and dynamics of The Kingdom of God. You will no longer, as a Christian, be able to have "one foot in the world and one foot in the church". Either you're in The Kingdom of God or you're not. Your walk and your witness will testify to which Realm you've chosen to be subject to and your submission and adherence to Spiritual Division.
