Beloved - do not accept the ministry of men who quench who you are called to be in Christ.  Do not accept who men say you are - but rather accept who you really are in Christ.  Yes, you are to accept the love and care of godly leadership  - but if they are godly - they will have your best interests at heart,  (not their own) and they will not call you to extinguish your ministry,  gifts and calling so theirs can shine brighter - If they desire to be the only light in the room, and they demand that you  dim or extinguish yours - in their presence  - avoid them!

Oh God I'm sick of men who teach your saints that to focus on their gifts and calling is selfish! Of a truth - we need everyone's gifts and anointing  - flowing together,  under the tutelage and guidance of the giver of all good gifts - our loving Father, which art in Heaven,  yet who is also here on earth among us and in us, by His wonderfully generous Spirit - who never instructs a channel through whom he may flow, to stop flowing  - only men with ego's the size of Texas, or Satan, do that.

Much of what Satan teaches sounds like "wisdom" to the unlearned or unrefined soul. To the immature (not false) his wisdom can seem like manna from heaven  - but it's fruit, the end result of soulish wisdom,  is death - death to the dreams and desires our Father placed in you long ago, when you first met him, and your heart took flight and you soared - your soul flew - you experienced true freedom,  for the first time in your life - then men wiser than you (they said) told you to sit at their feet and learn how not to be a Christian by following them and not Christ.

Oh beloved  - come away with ME says The Lord  - not with another who seeks to quench what we have together; out of jealousy and envy... Rise up MY love, MY fair one, and come away! Flourish in the garden of your loved one - who plants you as the seed of His desire,  in the fertile soil of His will for you - who waters you daily with the words that refresh you and lead you to the still waters besides green pastures - the pastures of your youth. Do not despise the day of small beginnings, saith The Lord,  for did you not begin as a sperm from your father's desire for his bride? And if you began as one so small - to become so great, how can you quench and despise the smallness of others? How can you, oh man, who purports to be of Me, how can you belittle the gifts and callings I've placed in My Body, when they are in their infancy? How can you despise that which I died to give? You do not have My best interests at heart - but your own - you wish to sound holy and pious and wise in your own eyes and in the eyes of the people yet to Me you are as wind driven chattel - chaff I will blow upon to remove far from My beloved Bride - who will serve you no longer, saith The Lord. 

Beloved - you don't lose your identity when you go to a church  - you find it. You are not to submit in the fleshly, carnal way they desire  - where your identity is swallowed by theirs - no, you are to submit to Me - where your identity is shaped and formed - and in Me you become who I desire you to be - not who men desire you to be. My fruit is found in soil I have full access to, for I plant nothing but good crops. When you fellowship with Me - the desire of your heart - your identity is found, not lost, formed, not broken - you become living tissue in My Body - not cancerous growth I need to cut away -    So many want to devour your identity in Me - to consume it upon their own lusts, all in My name - which they use for their own gain - not Mine. Do not submit to them any longer - though they call you "rebellious" and "adulterer", it is they who have prostrated themselves before Baal. Their true identity shall be known by all in the Day of My Visitation saith The Lord  - what is hidden shall be revealed,  what is revealed shall be hidden,  never to be seen again and all eyes will be fixed on Me; some to be blinded, others to be opened, some to let in My light, others to remain in darkness.  I shall judge the quick and the dead, and many shall be found wanting on the Day of My Visitation, saith The Lord.  Do not kick against the pricks any longer. Do not resist Me, for to fulfill the desires of the flesh  - lay down on the Cross I've prepared for you - lay down, I say - cease from your own strength,  from your own labors, and you shall live  - Yes and Amen! In Me, death is life. Apart from me, life is death.  Selah.
