Turning our backs on Babylon.
Posted by appolus on August 23, 2022
Isa 52:3 For thus saith the LORD, you have sold yourselves for nothing; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
So many of the saints today have given themselves over to the world. They were not taken or bought, but freely they have given themselves to the things of this world. Remember saints, we were bought with a price, if you give something away, your giving away what was not yours in the first place. The price was already paid for you, you were purchased by something far more valuable than gold or silver, you were bought by the precious Blood of the Lamb. The coming captivity of the saints will be the refining fire that brings them back to where they belong. As the things of this world are slowly stripped away from a whole generation who call themselves after His name, then the treasure that lies within them shall come forth. The dross shall surely be burned up, but when the smoke of the refining fire clears then only gold shall remain.
Shake yourself from the dust and arise!…..Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck O captive daughter of Zion. ( Isa 52:2) Depart! Depart! Go out from there, touch no unclean thing. Go out from the midst of her. Be clean, you who bear the vessels of the Lord ( Isa 52:11) The Lord is calling His people out of Babylon and He will purify any traces of Babylon from your heart. As we take our rightful place as a Royal Priesthood, and remember that we are a chosen people and God’s special possession, then we shall indeed declare the praises of Him who has called us out of darkness and into His marvelous light. He is calling out to us brothers and sisters. We are to shake of the dust and arise! We are being called to throw of all the influences of “Babylon.” And as we do, and as the dust is falling to the ground and our footsteps take us ever further from Babylon, then we shall break forth into great joy and sing together, for the Lord has comforted His people.
The Lord will make bare His holy arm as we Arise! In the eyes of all the nations it shall be seen, when the Lord restores His people without cost. The watchmen shall lift up their voices, with their voices they shall sing together as they leave Babylon behind and head down the narrow path towards Zion. For the saints shall walk in the unity that Jesus prophesied in John 17. They shall see the glory of their God and they shall see eye to eye as they walk in lockstep in the midst of the refining fire. We shall not go out with haste but with great deliberation, for we shall be a people who have counted the cost and tuned our back on Babylon forever. And we shall be a people who will overcome the enemy by the Blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony. And this last part shall be our greatest defining attribute, we shall love not our lives unto death. Though death may rage all around us, the life of Christ in us overcomes deaths power. It has no hold over us.
A Call To The Remnant

When you said, “For the saints shall walk in the unity that Jesus prophesied in John 17,” that grabbed me. I can’t wait until that day when all the denominational lines and sects are erased and done away with, and there is no more divisions or strife or conflicts or dissentions and quarrels and arguments. When the saints finally love one another again in earnest, the way the Lord Jesus commanded us. What a glorious day that will be. And I know His heart will be exceeding glad also. God bless you, brother Frank, and all the saints.

I believe only the refining fire can bring this about sister. It will burn down the walls and only His own will step over the debri of what is left, they shall walk on in unity, shaking of the dust as they leave Babylon behind. No longer chained and shackled by dreams and ambitions of making it in this world, now, walking in lockstep towards home, our true home……..bro Frank.
