It’s a pretty foolish thing for a soldier to march forward continuously looking neither to the left or right. There may be some enemy “sabors” coming right up behind him. During our early battles with the English, the English always marched in unison and in perfect form. They were picked off like sitting ducks.
When we translate this to the Christian Soldier we find that when we follow the Lord He leads us up hill and dale, over mountianous territory, through the floods and fire. The enemy can be anywhere and everywhere. If we want to be His soldier we need to be like Gideon’s 400, slurping up the water, cupped into our hands and cautiously looking around all the while.
As to “advancing gossip” and “giving false reports” Ardith can stand up with the best of them. She lies and gives false reports of her own brethren to keep control over others. She slanders people and leads others to shun them, pretending that she isn’t “advancing gossip.”
She tells her poor little subjects that “It is not your job to deal with those who would distract” ,but takes other believers to court because she is offended. She disobeys the law of God to maintain power and control. She does this rather than sit down and communicate with people who have loved and served her for years. There is something dreadfully wrong with her kind of leadership.
A wise person would get out of her regiment quickly, before the Lord shuts the door. She has you so busy you can’t see the woods for all the trees. Ask the Lord to give you sight! Jesus Christ said, “I gave her time to repent, but she has no desire to repent of her immorality (idolatry) Take note, I will throw her on a bed of anguish ,and those who commit adultery with her I will bring down to pressing distress and severe affliction, unless they turn away their minds from conduct such as hers and repent of their doings.” Revelation 2:21-22
The Bible tells us there is a Jezebel spirit who invades the church. It is a controlling spirit lusting for power. A person who prides themself as being wise, knowledgable, well able to resist the enemy can be his prime target ,and he will use them to destroy a whole church. People will obey them and bow to their commands committing idolatry, instead of hearing the Truth and listening to God. (they lead His people astray)
My sincere prayer is that the Anchor leaders would repent ,and the Church would be healed. I pray daily for God’s best for them all. Their abuse of God’s people is disgraceful and shameful. I was caught in the web of lies for many years myself even helping them abuse people. Praise God, I’m free! It is His “job to deal with” these situations but He tells us as His people to “sound the warning.” This is what we do.
