Exclusivity or Elasticity ?

Matt 5:46-48 NKJV For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?
Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your brethren only,
what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?
48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
“Are you able to expand your hearts beloveds to accommodate the harvest I will bring in ?
Will you open your hearts to those who seem repulsive to you, and embrace whom I want you to embrace ? For many of you are full of prejudice of all kinds. Some of you are prejudiced against the poor and weak. Some of you are prejudiced to certain races because of bitterness in your hearts, or inherited attitudes. Some of you have opinions that conflict with My opinions. Some of you are walking in attitudes of heart that have nothing to do with GRACE or humility. Some are prejudiced against the aged, or infirm. There are many who judge anyone who is sick or unhealed as if they are in deep sin when they are not.
Some of you are so exclusive, that no matter how much I try to tug on your heart to help others, you have self protective walls around your heart from past hurts, and you can’t get past them, because you’ve never gotten healing for that thing that happened, way back when. Some of you have prejudice against men or women that is rooted in more than just fear, but anger and hatred. You have made judgments that you need to renounce and lay at the cross, the hurt and pain caused you by a father or mother, or an ex-husband or spouse, but you can’t get beyond the bitter years of pain. Renounce the vows you made of self protection and ask ME what they are if you don’t remember. I’m calling you to MY SIDE that you may get the healing and love you never received. I’m here for you if you will just come and BE with ME. I will fill you up with more of My love and peace, and all that you need.
John 14:27 NKJV Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world
gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Matt 22:39-40 NKJV And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as
yourself.' 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."
Some of you are prejudiced against those who are unlike you. You just don’t like their style, or ways of doing things. That’s ok, as I made you all different, so you can yoke yourself with those who you can get along with, but I don’t want you holding ought against anyone in your heart. I don’t ask you to trust those who you know will hurt you again fully. But I ask you in your heart to love them, and send love spiritually to them. Pray for them as you would pray for a brother or sister, a child. Don’t cut yourself off entirely from the rest of the body in your place. Have relationship with whomever you can relate to ! Do not isolate yourself. Come aside with ME, but do not isolate yourself. Find a small group of others you can relate to
minister to, and be ministered to by. It is important to have unity BY MY SPIRIT in this hour, that you are not alone.
When I sent out My apostles, I sent them two by two. The hour was dangerous, and their lives were at stake. The same is becoming more and more true now. All over the world, persecution is increasing. So I tell you now to not try to go it alone in anything you do. I am creating relationships with others through many means to help yoke together people who will love and support one another in crisis situations and in the needs of daily living. I am EXPANDING My army soon through harvest, through many suddenlies. So I ask you to expand YOUR HEART to be inclusive of who I DRAW TO YOU. Flexibility is SO important to you if you want to survive the coming days. Be willing to BEND to MY WILL, and consider your own flexibility. Are you willing to give up things, to give up places, to give up people that I no longer want you in association with ? It is important to understand MY strategies in this hour. So I ask you to come to ME, spend time waiting on ME, that you can hear the still small voice.
Isa 30:15 NKJV For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel:
"In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence
shall be your strength." But you would not,
Come before ME and ask me where your areas of prejudice are, that I may remove them.
Ask ME to fill your heart with love for those I LOVE, and discernment to know the difference
between the one I’ve called you to help, and the one I don’t want you to touch. The enemy
will send people your way also, to steal and rob your peace and time with ME. The enemy will
even send those you love to do that. Guard your time with ME. Intimacy is the only thing that will keep you safe in this hour on earth. Seek ME while I may be found. Do not take Me for granted the way some of you take each other for granted. Protect your children and watch their associations. The enemy is out to kill them and everyone he can to keep them from ME, and the call on their lives in this hour. You cannot control them once they are grown, so watch over them NOW and teach them to discern. Teach them how to rebuke demons and cast them out. Do not wait. They are not too young to know ME, and the power of My Spirit.”
Prov 8:17 NKJV I love those who love me, And those who seek me
diligently will find me.
John 6:26-27 NKJV Jesus answered them and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, you
seek Me , not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.
27 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting
life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him."
Jer 29:11-14 NKJV For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD,
thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you
will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
