Son, I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Everything I do reveals My glory and majesty. My righteousness will never fail. Everything I do is just and good, and My Word is altogether trustworthy. People of the world need to know that I paid a full ransom for them.
When My children live their lives by My Word and obey it – their homes and families will be protected and successful. My faithful children will be generous and compassionate able to help those in need. They will be righteous and just and their wisdom will be seen in their children. They will not fear bad news because they confidently trust Me to care for them. They will be fearless when facing their foes and hardships. They will have influence with honor for My favor rests upon them, and the wicked will see this and be infuriated because they can’t do anything about it.
Son, tell your elected leaders that refuse to listen to Me, “Come back to the Lord and you will live! Your dark hearts twist justice when you treat righteousness like a crime. You hate honest judges and despise people who tell the truth! You love evil and hate all that is right and good. You deprive the poor of justice in the courts and you will face a day in My High Court, and you will not have a ray of defense, hope or everlasting joy; for I will condemn you as you have condemned My children.”
In these evil days My children need to be clever and shrewd, knowing when to be quiet with confidence in Me and when to shout out about injustice; when to expose evil and when to remain still with Me. My children need to be known for doing what is good and when to turn from evil. They need to hate what evil people do, but at the same time to show My love for them so that they can be saved. Don’t make a show of what you do for people, or make pretense of being holy. Remember that I love obedience better than your pious religious assemblies with all your noisy singing and empty praises! Without obedience I will not listen to your music, or listen to your prayers. I want to see from My children a mighty flood of right thinking and behavior, and justice based on the Word of My truth.
Suddenly, all the victory parties of the wicked will end, and then they will know how foolish they have been. For, they have pushed away every one of My prophets that told them to repent and of the coming disasters. They think they can drink away their problems as they sink deeper and deeper into darkness. They care nothing about the ruin of their nation, and to their own shame they refuse to listen to anyone that mentions My Name and how they can be saved from My wrath!
Lord, what a holy awe-inspiring Name You have! To know You and to obey Your Word is the foundation of true wisdom. I will praise You forever! You are with me always, even to the end of the age.
