Son, in the coming days My children will be troubled by what they see and hear. It is at this time My children must not be afraid but take courage; for I am here. They must not doubt My promises!

A man has arrived, and has begun his quest to be in power. He is a despicable man, and will take control by flattery and intrigue. He will make deceitful promises, and make various alliances. He will become strong despite having only a handful of followers. He will distribute the wealth of others by saying, “It isn’t fair.” He will flatter and win over the wicked, and then encourage them to  continue in their wickedness, and none will understand what is really happening.

But, My children must be wise and strong to resist him. I will raise up wise leaders and give them My instruction, but some of these leaders will be jailed or killed. During these persecutions, little help will arrive, and many who join My children will not be sincere. When My children fall victim to persecution, their bodies may lie dead and buried, but they will rise up to My everlasting life. So My children, take courage for these trails will purify, cleanse, and refine you. The Day I promised; that My children will rise again to receive the inheritance set aside for them – it will come! It will not be late or too soon. It will be exactly like I said. So, REJOICE ALWAYS, and be faithful to the end.

Lord, I am sick at heart by what I see and hear today, so please listen to my cry for help, for I pray to no one but You. Every morning I bring my requests to You and wait expectantly. Because of Your unfailing love, I can enter Your presence, so lead me by making Your way plain for me to follow.

I know that You protect Your children by surrounding them with Your shield of love. But Lord, America has sinned and done wrong. It continues to rebel against You and Your Word. America refuses to listen to Your prophets. Because our leaders have not followed Your instructions, judgments will be poured down on us. Every judgment written down in Your Word about any rebellious nation – will come true.

Son, listen to what My prophets are saying and you will be greatly encouraged. Take My yoke for your life, and remember that My yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your soul.

My name is the only hope for America and for all the world. Anyone and any nation that isn’t with Me – opposes Me, and all those that don’t work with Me are actually working against Me. They will reap the consequence of dishonoring Me and ignoring My servants that I send with warning and instruction.  

Son, you must protect your heart; for whatever is in your heart determines what you say, and your words will either acquit you or condemn you.

Remember that My Kingdom is forcefully advancing, and there are violent people attacking it. But they cannot stop the Kingdom of God from coming, and neither will they enter it. My Kingdom is coming whether they believe it or not.

Son, I cannot help those who think they are righteous, but I will help those who know they are sinners. I will show them My compassion. I see their confusion and helplessness; they are like sheep without a shepherd. Today the harvest is great, but so few are willing to do what I ask of them. So pray for more workers who will listen to Me. Then they can go in the strength they have, because I am sending them with everything they need. They don’t need to be afraid; for they will know that I am going to help them, and everything will happen just like I said!

I will send My obedient children out as sheep among wolves, and they must be shrewd but harmless. Some of My children will be handed over to the courts because they are My followers. But this will be their opportunity to testify of Me. So if they are arrested, they don’t need to worry about how to respond or what to say. I will give them the right words at the right time. It will not be them speaking, but it will be My Spirit speaking through them.

Soon all nations will hate you because you are My children.  So don’t be afraid of those who threaten you by saying they can kill you; for they cannot touch your soul. I am the only One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. In the coming days don’t be surprised that some of My enemies are in your own household! My children must remember that if they love their family more than Me, they are not Mine. If My children refuse to stand for Me and obey what I ask of them, they are not worthy of Me. If they cling to their life, they will lose it, but if they give up their life for Me – they will find true life.

A man of intrigue has begun to wage war against My children and he will defeat them until I judge in favor of My children. This master of intrigue has begun to rise in power, because sin is rampant everywhere. He is becoming very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause a shocking amount of destruction and succeed in everything he does. He will destroy powerful leaders and devastate My children. He will be a master of deception and will become more arrogant than any before him. He will destroy many without warning, but he will be broken, though not by human power.

Lord, I thank You that soon You will be given authority, honor, and sovereignty over all the nations of the world, so that every race and nation and language will obey You. You rule is eternal, it will never end. Your kingdom will never be destroyed, and Your children will rule with You forever and ever. Therefore, I can pray to You and You will answer me. Because You are watching over me I can have peace today and every day. I know You hold my future.

Son, there is another generation in America that does not acknowledge Me or remember the things I have done.  They have abandoned Me by going after other gods, serving and worshiping them. They refuse to give up their evil practices. How quickly America has turned away from the path of their ancestors, who had walked in obedience to Me. Each generation is behaving worse than those who lived before them. They have become so arrogant by saying that there are many roads to Me.

My children must realize that they do not need to defend themselves against this generation, because I am able to save them. For I will bless and care for those who realize their need for Me; hose whose hearts are pure, and are persecuted for doing what is right. So My children, be happy that you do not fit in with the world! Be very glad about it; for a great reward awaits you in heaven! Remember that I know exactly what you need even before you ask Me!

Lord, since I cannot understand all of Your activities, let me rejoice every day that you have given me to live. May Your Name be kept holy in my life, and may Your Kingdom come soon. Forgive me of my sins, and rescue me from the evil one. Help me not to worry about the things I have no control over, and to live righteously with the help of Your Spirit in me. 

I love Your Word because when I read Your word it takes away the fear and worry about tomorrow. Your word promises me that You will give me everything I need. You will rescue me by Your supreme power. But even if You do not rescue me, I want to make it clear to all that I will serve only You, and I am willing to die rather than serve or worship any false god; for You alone  are the One True God.

Son, when you come to the end of your life, you will be empty-handed just like the day you were born. So learn to enjoy your work and do what I ask of you. Remember it is gift from Me to receive wealth, and to have good health to enjoy it. I will keep you so busy enjoying life that you will have no time to think about the past.

People who find no satisfaction in life are unhappy people, and are never content. They do not know how to enjoy what they have, because they always desire more. They think that wealth brings true happiness!

So live your life knowing that I am coming soon, and you will be blessed. When you read My words of prophecy that are in My book, you will see that I am coming soon. When I come I will bring rewards and crowns with me to give to My children. My home will be with My children, and I will live with them forever! Nothing evil will be allowed to enter My home; only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

When I come I will judge everyone: the living and the dead, the great and the common, the free and the slave; everyone who has lived will stand before My throne. I will open My history books and all those not found in My Book of Life will be judged according to what they have done with what I gave them for eternal life. Anyone whose name was not found recorded in My Book of Life will be thrown into the eternal lake of fire.

To those who are thirsty for the truth, I give it freely. So come and drink in the pure water of life while there is still time; before I say that – it is finished, and the door is shut!

This morning I read about two great men who lived on this earth. One is called the wisest person who ever lived, and the other was born into poverty. Both had a great impact on others and both are still remembered today. They gave us a perspective about life and it is our choice in which one we choose to follow.

The wisest person said:

“What do people get for all their hard work? No matter how much they see – people are never satisfied. No matter how much they hear, they are not content. People don’t remember what happened in the past, and in future generations, no one will remember what they are doing now. Everything that people do is meaningless-like chasing the wind.

Some people say life is about having the good things in life. They seek pleasures, and cheer themselves with wine. Some say I will seek great knowledge and become wise in this world. Others will seek to find the meaning of their life by building huge homes, and planting beautiful vineyards. Some will collect great sums of silver and gold, and having everything a man could desire!”

But listen to what he says, for the wisest man had everything listed above. “Anything I wanted, I would take. I denied myself no pleasure. I even found great pleasure in hard work, but as I looked at everything that I had worked so hard to accomplish, l realized that everyone will die. The wise will not be remembered any longer than the fool. For who can eat or enjoy anything apart from the One who gives it to us, and allows us to enjoy it? God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy to those who please him.”

The poor man says:

“Be truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose. Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble; think of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others too.”

Who was this poor man? Jesus! He gave up His divine privilege, and took the humble position of a slave, by being born as a human being. He appeared in human form, He humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross – so that we could have His Holy Spirit dwell in us and produce good fruit with our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Those who belong to Him have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to His cross and crucified them there.

Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Then you will find the meaning of your life on earth!

The Bible says that a wise person will see the danger that is coming and be prepared. But the fool goes blindly on and will suffer the consequences of not being ready.

Son, very soon there will be war against My children like never before, and some will be conquered. Some of My children who are destined for prison will be taken to prison. Some who are destined to die by the sword will die by the sword. So My children, endure this persecution patiently and remain faithful. Remember that fearing people is a trap you don’t want to fall in to, but by trusting Me you will be secured in My purpose.

When the wicked are in authority, sin flourishes, and people will not accept My guidance. People will run wild and despise any word or form of godliness. These wicked world leaders will usher in the deceiver who will begin his short term rule. He will deceive all the people who belong to this world. He will require everyone, no matter who they are or what they have, to have a mark on the right hand or forehead, so that no one can buy or sell without this mark.

So My children, how shall you prepare for this day that is already upon you? Some of you are under the impression that you will be gone; therefore it has no meaning to you. Will My children not be on the earth during this time? If so, why aren’t you preparing now to help them? I hear pastors, teachers, and prophets talk. I’m listening to what is being said, and no one is talking about how to prepare for these children of Mine during this time. Why? Could it be that the pastors, teachers and prophets have their eyes on the wrong finishing line?

For the time is almost here when I will judge those people that tortured My children, and they will drink the wine of My anger. They will be forever tormented with fire and burning sulfur. The smoke of their torment will rise forever and they will have no relief day or night; for they worshiped the great deceiver and have accepted his mark in them.

My children you must endure persecution patiently, obeying My commands and maintaining your faith in Me. For, I am coming very soon!

Revelation 12:11-12 “They did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die. Therefore, rejoice, O heavens! And you who live in the heavens, rejoice!”

Why were they not afraid? What gave them so much confidence? To them the promises of God that are made in the Bible are real, not just great words. They knew that life on earth, as they knew it, was not all there was. They were confident of the life after death that Jesus spoke of.

Soon, we all will be faced with death, but how will you face it? You’ll die and then what?  If I am confident of where I will spend eternity; that is with my Lord, then I will do great exploits for God and not be afraid of what it costs me, even my physical life.

“What can man do to me? Man can kill my flesh but cannot touch my soul or my spirit, and soon My God will give me a new body!”

Look at the joyful response in heaven when someone lives their life like this! Do you think they will be welcomed into the Lord’s kingdom with honor?
