We have two people from whom we are "separated" in our church group.
In one case, I felt God saying to me to wait until she comes to me saying she did such and such because of a scripture.
In the other case, I felt God was showing me to wait until she comes showing repentance over that which she did which caused the separation.

We have two people from whom we are "separated" in our church group.
In one case, I felt God saying to me to wait until she comes to me saying she did such and such because of a scripture.
In the other case, I felt God was showing me to wait until she comes showing repentance over that which she did which caused the separation.
I was reminded of the way Nebuchadnezzar had to be separated until he came to realize God rules.
Daniel 4:25 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever HE will.
So the king Nebuchadnezzar was separated until he came to realize this.
But yesterday "a spirit" tried to get me to call one of these two women who has shown no repentance and to try to "reconcile."
I began praying: God knows I am willing to do this but it just didn't feel right to me and I felt if I did this I would be going the opposite way from that which I thought God showed me to do when this woman caused the separation about two years ago.
I know spirits that are not of God will try to get us to do "good things" to lead us away from the direction God has given us.
Deception is very bad in the end times.
We must be sure the direction we are going is authored by God's spirit.
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Thoughts will come to try to get us to reconcile with an unrepentant relative in a church group. To do that might end up destroying us with them, unless it is God authoring this plan. We must turn to God with such an idea and be certain this is the will of God, for spirits will appear as "angels of light", but they are really ministers of Satan.
II Corinthians 11
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
