+       It is ALWAYS a good thing in My sight for one to continue to pursue "peace" with all men - at least up to the point where they would have to "compromise" My Will [Word] to maintain what would THEN only amount to a "false peace" [and security] - something that is rampant in the church at large, through idolatry.

"idolatry" - excessive or blind adoration - rooted in the worship of people and things [ideals] above God;

        ...."Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is honest and proper and noble [aiming to be above reproach] in the sight of everyone. [Prov. 20:22.] If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone".... Romans 12:17-18 The Amplified Translation

        ...."The kingdom of God is ..... righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. For he who in this way serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another".... Romans 14:17-19 NASB

+       These are the days wherein those who truly love Me will walk by revelation alone. For, indeed, the day has come when I will judge [expose] all those who follow after "flesh and blood" instead of My Spirit - as well as all those who have "allowed" it [self-adulation] - through their ardent pursuit of "honour'' and self-glory. For to follow after "flesh and blood" before Me is born of a spirit of idolatry - a spirit that must be removed "entirely" from the midst of the congregations if they are to enter into both their individual and corporate destiny, in Christ, in this most glorious hour.

"adulation" - to show excessive admiration or devotion to; flatter or admire servilely;

        ...."let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall. No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry".... 1 Corinthians 10:12-14 NASB
