Little Things



My people are being led astray – off My path for their lives – in subtle ways by the enemy of their souls. He has deceived them into thinking this or that “does not matter” in the overall scheme of things, but did I not say in My Holy Word that it is the little foxes that spoil the vines, My children?

Those little things that you allow to eat at you day after day, and the angry thoughts, the unforgiving heart – these make you unfit for Kingdom use!

These “little things” are not little in My eyes, they are very big, and I desire you would deal with this uncleanness once and for all.

I have given you My love to enjoy and walk in, and I desire you would extend it also to those who do not believe, that they may see more of what I am like, My children.

Those who sin willfully are following after the enemy of their souls. There is no time now for playing or veering off the path. The end of all things is upon you. When the end comes, you will have no time to repent and change direction. You must be ready at all times for what is drawing near.

Stay in My Word.

Stay on the alert.

Pray without ceasing.

Love all those around you.


1 Peter 5:8: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:


1 Thes. 5:17: Pray without ceasing.

1 Cor. 13:1-10 (NLT)



If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;[a] but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages[b] and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! 10 But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.


Song of Solomon 2:15

Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.

  2. The 'little things' would be different for each of us. For instance, for me the little things that have been eating at me has been issues I've had with my son's father. And I think the message to take away from this is to not let these insignificant issues take away our peace or lead us down the path of bitterness. We need to let these 'little things' go and learn to forgive others so that we don't lose our peace or ultimately lose our salvation.

    For you it could be resentment or jealousy or any other thing or 'work of the flesh' that bothers you and keeps you from feeling content and keeps you from practising the 'fruits of the spirit'.


    GALATIONS 5.

    16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law.19 Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit, 21 envy,[b]drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law.

    hope that helps :)
