Tories
The Lord spoke to me concerning His children...the ones that follow Him and only Him. He said “Tories”.
Tories is the plural of the word “Tory” which originated in Ireland. It was used to describe the Irish rebels that opposed the English occupation of their country. The English aimed to occupy and impose rule over the Irish. The Tories would lie in wait for the English Army to move through and attack them. The Tories were not the Irish military as we understand organized military forces. They were Irish citizens that would not be oppressed or subdued any longer. They were viewed as outlaws, and they would not allow foreign invasion of their land. They opposed foreign occupation enough to take action based on what they believed.
The word Tory means “outlaw or pursued man/person”.
True followers of Christ are being called to and are standing up and taking action because of what they believe. They rely on the Lord as the only Source of Truth and refuse to follow any other (media, world, friends, family, fellow believers, etc.). They will be ridiculed, ostracized, excommunicated by strangers, friends and family for their beliefs and actions. They will be seen as outlaws (a person who refuses to be governed by the established rules or practices of any group; non-conformist). They will be “pursued people” for their beliefs and actions. Many will target and oppose them, attempt to discredit their character, and accuse them of ignorance and selfishness.
YET, these few Tories will be made a “pursued people” for a different reason. They will have been trained in this season to stand on Truth alone when all else falls away. They will learn to trust Him in spite of all else. And for this, they will be pursued by those that do not have the Truth. They will be pursued by those that have lived in fear and question how it is possible to have peace as times get tougher. They will be pursued for the One they have within them. The One that is unshakable. The One that is the Author of Truth and giver of unbelievable Peace. They will be pursued by those that once ridiculed them. For now, they will realize these Tories have something they desperately need.
For those Tories that are rising and standing, continue to stand. You are being trained. You are being tested. And you will be strengthened in the knowledge of Him as your only need and source. You are in training and the battle is yet to come. Do not look right or left, look only to Him. The Lord Himself is preparing you.
