The Father says today that I am drawing attention to and highlighting worthless associations that pollute the dynamics of My kingdom in your life. You have found yourself surrounded by what you thought were spiritual children, but they are actually willful religious pygmies. Do you know the difference between a religious pygmy and a spiritual baby? Religious pygmies refuse to grow and refuse to take responsibility for their own walk with God. I am calling you to sever your communion with these recalcitrants of the Kingdom. They have defecated on the soil of your faith and vision long enough. Love them, speak well of them, and pray for them, but do not associate with them as though they were your peers. 

Prophet Russ - "The Lord empowers me to identify and remove all hindrances, and I walk in His anointing to fulfill my high calling in Christ, today!" - Today!

Your higher calling requires acute discernment in your heart regarding relationships in your life. These associations have been a spiritual hindrance that you need to recognize and address. You are called to higher things. This is a serious time for you. You have felt that there was a hindrance you couldn’t put your finger on. Look around you. Look in the spirit at what you have been stepping in. Every time you try to rise up and take the mountain, a religious pygmy was there to suggest in their wisdom why it was better simply to "march in place" till Jesus comes. I haven’t called you to be a paper tiger or a tin soldier. I have armed you for the fight and commissioned you for the battle. Rise up and take your land! This is not a time for hesitation or compromise. Your divine assignment awaits, and you are fully equipped for it.
