Son, it has begun, and do you remember what I told you, “A slave is not greater than his master. Since they persecuted Me, naturally they will persecute you.” They will do this to you because they have rejected Me. I am telling you and all My children these things so that you won’t abandon your faith. They will expel you from places they call “churches,” and when they kill My children they will think they are doing a holy service for God.
My children must remember that this world hates them because they hated Me first. This world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but My children are not part of the world. I chose My children to come out of the world; therefore, the world hates them. Since My children do not belong to this world, they need to pray that all My children be one, just like My Father and I are one. Then the world will know that they belong to Me and that I love them.
When I was in the garden of prayer, I prayed for My children to be safe from the evil one. I sent My Spirit of truth to guide My children into all truth. My Spirit will not speak on His own but will tell My children what He has heard about the future. All who love the truth will recognize that what He says is true.
I have given My children a strong warning not to think like everyone else does. They must make Me holy in their lives. I am the One My children should fear. I am the One who should make My children tremble. Therefore, preserve My word because My Word will convict the world of its sin, and let them know of the coming judgment.
Son, unless My children’s faith is firm, they will not be able to stand in this time of testing. My children must come to truth that this world hates them because they do not belong to the world any more than I did. They must remember that there is a path before them that seems right, but it ends in destruction. Only simpletons believe everything they’re told! Test everything you hear. Compare it to My words. The prudent carefully consider their steps; they are wise to the traps and snares of the enemy. Therefore, commit your actions to Me, and your plans will succeed.
Son, Godliness makes a nation great, but the sin of America is a disgrace. The people act like they are pure, but I examine their motives. I expected a crop of justice, but instead I find oppression. I expected to find righteousness, but instead I hear cries of violence. The leaders have misled the people and have led them down the path of destruction. These leaders have grand parties, but they never invite Me, they don’t want to hear from Me or notice what I am doing. They drag their sins behind them with heavy ropes made of lies. They mock Me and My children by saying, “Hurry up and do something! We want to see what you can do. Let God carry out His plan, for we do not think it will happen.” What sorrow and suffering awaits those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter; those who are wise in their own eyes and think themselves so clever. Therefore, wherever they look – there will be trouble and despair. Soon they will be thrown out into everlasting darkness.
Lord, I put my hope in You, and not in our leaders. I look to Your word for instruction and guidance. I look to Your hand of provision. I look to Your promise of protection. People who reject Your word are completely in the dark. So, let Your Light in me shine, that some will come to You – the Light of my life.
