The prophecy I have to share is kind of harsh. But I would like to temper it by sharing a little story of what went on between my kids and myself today. This is on their level, but I think you will get the point

I was driving today in the rain with my children to go and pick out Father's Day presents for their father, and they were not being little angels. They were arguing over who was the smartest. Both of my two oldest got all "A's" this last marking period, and so I overheard my son telling my daughter, "Yes, but you didn't get all A's in third grade but I did!" Which of course got her all mad and upset back at him. They were screaming back and forth over who was the smartest!

I told them both to quit. "First of all," I said, "The Bible says you are not supposed to compare yourself to others, because you are always going to find someone smarter than you, or someone who is dumber than you. Even Jesus' disciples argued over who were going to sit in the closest thrones next to him, and that didn't make Jesus very happy. He didn't want them to argue and fight. He wanted them to love each other. That is what is the most important. Who is the most loving, not who's the smartest. Who is showing more love is what counts, and right now neither one of you were showing much love at all."

My youngest piped up, "What does it mean to compare yourself to others?"

I told them, "Well, that's when you look around and you see others are smarter than you in math, or better than you in one sport, or whatever and then you feel bad. Or when you start telling everyone how good you are in math or how great you are in one sport and then that makes the other kids feel bad. God doesn't want us to compare; He loves each one of us the way we are."

My nine-year-old still wasn't convinced, so I had to put him in his place. I said, "Right now there are thousands of children your age who are in college; they are taking college classes because God made their brains so smart they are geniuses! But then there are other children who are not as smart as you are; they are not even working on the same grade level, but that doesn't matter. God loves them all." Donnie said, "Like Forrest Gump?" I said, "Yes, and remember even though he wasn't the smartest in class he was the best one at Ping-Pong. But he didn't make anyone feel bad. God doesn't want you to make anyone feel bad either." So they all apologized.

The following prophecy is from God about fighting among our brothers and sisters. It's a warning and I warn you, it's on a "Mom and Daddy level". God didn't pull any punches when He gave this one.
================================================
Do not Touch your Brother's Call!

I have a word for the Body of Christ. I have a warning. There was much infighting among the early disciples as to who would be the greatest in my kingdom, and who would sit at my right hand and my left, and who would do this and who would do that.

Do not touch your brother's or your sister's call in God. Leave them alone. Do not try to take positions that do not belong to you. I have assigned each and every child I place in the Body of Christ. I have assigned; I have ordained leadership in the Body of Christ.

Do not attempt to move into a position that I do not promote you to. Great will be your harm, great will be your downfall, and great will be the rubbing of your backside as you take your licking from God!

Do not attempt to touch a brother or sister's position. And if they need correction, I myself will come and remove them; I myself will come and correct them; you do not need to do it.

Leave those around you alone! And if I am bringing somebody from a far country to sit in your midst and even take your place, what is that to you? Am I not the Lord of the Body of Christ? Do I not determine who ministers when, where, and how and under what circumstances? And don't I hand out the discipline, or have you yourself become God the Father to the Body?

Are you now in charge? Do you now determine how many licks each one gets? And when they're brought in and when they're put out, and when they're raised up and when they're lowered down?

You better be careful. I care not who you think you are, or how big you think you are, or what your name is. I have a Name that is above all names and I will not tolerate interference among my children.

Do not lift a hand against anyone. Do not move against their ministry. Do not spread tales about them behind their back. For I in turn will judge you and remove you quicker than you can blink an eye and you won't even know what hit you! And if you don't believe me you look around in the Body of Christ and see where did he go? Where did he go? Who is he anymore?

I will handle all of the internal problems in the Body. And I will see to it that no one gets away with anything. Don't worry about people when they're not walking right. I have it all under control.

Allow Me to do it. Allow me to discipline. Allow me to place them in place and to take them out. Because if you move without my hand upon you, then you're next!
