Does Christ truly live in you? In the days ahead this will be tested, and if He does live in you this will give you assurance in the coming days. So what will you do when war, disaster, and disease come? What will you do when you are given a choice to either deny Christ or die, or watch your children die?

Then who is Christ? He is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and His supremacy reigns over all creation. He created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see. He holds all creation together. Not only this, but He has paid a full ransom for His children when He canceled the record of charges against them by nailing it to the cross. Everything He does reveals His glory and majesty, and His righteousness never fails. His word is trustworthy. What a holy, awe-inspiring Name He has!

So let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth, and you will overflow with thankfulness. You will not fear bad news, because you confidently trust Him to care for you and your family. You will become confident and fearless and can face your foes triumphantly. You will have influence and honor.

The wicked will see this and be infuriated. They will grind their teeth in anger because their hope that you could and would deny Christ – is thwarted.

Therefore, praise the LORD GOD forever, and remember that His arm has not lost its power to care for you and your family in the days ahead.

For the last 5 years the Lord has givien me the same message for California, America and His children therein, and I have passed His messages on. Each time the message has been the same: “Turn from the evil road you are traveling and from the evil things you are doing.” But no one listens, and now the Lord says, “Because they will not listen to Me or My word, and they refuse to listen to My prophets that I have sent to them over and over to warn them, they will drink from My cup of anger, and they have no other choice but to drink from it.”

So whatever happens in the coming days – His children should rejoice in Him. They must stay focused by forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead. They must press on to the end of the race, and not have their view on the wrong finish line; one too short.

Therefore, stay true to the Lord, and let everyone see that you are following Him only; He and His every word. Since the Lord is coming soon, don’t fear or worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell Him what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience His perfect peace, which exceeds anything you can understand. His peace will guard your heart and mind as you live for Him.

So fix your thoughts on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Be content with whatever you have, and remember that you can do everything through Christ who gives you all the strength you will need. For, we are on our way to the place the Lord promised us! Soon He will take these weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like His!

Because You are my Saviour I can come boldly with confidence into the presence of God. Because of You and Your mighty power within me I am able to accomplish infinitely more with my life than I think I can. By Your unlimited resources I am empowered with inner strength, so that I can understand how wide, how long, how high, and how deep Your love is for me, and all Your children. Therefore, I must lead a life worthy of the calling You gave me.

Because of Your love for me, I can be humble, gentle and patient with others; making allowance for their faults. I must make every effort to be united with Your children in the Spirit. I must do all that I can to build up Your body Lord, so that we won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. I must expose those who will try and trick Your children with lies so clever that they sound like the truth. I must speak the truth in love, so that Your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.

I must not live my life as the world does, for they are hopelessly confused. Their minds are full of darkness, and have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against truth. They have no sense of shame, and live for lustful pleasure; eager to practice every kind of impurity. Because they have forsaken the truth the land has become a land of wickedness. They have filled the land with the blood of innocent children, making it a monument to their stupidity. When people stubbornly refuse to listen to the truth – there will be despair.

Lord, let all that I am praise You, and may I never forget the good things You have done for me and my family. Your word of truth has always renewed me day by day. Because Your word burns in my heart like a fire – I cannot hold it in! You have graciously ginen me the privilege of telling those who will listen about the endless treasures available to them in You.

Son, let Me tell you a truth “Any nation who refuses to obey Me will be destroyed.” So why would any nation want to go back and become slaves once more to useless principles of this wicked world? How did I become their enemy? I became their enemy when they rejected this truth! When people refuse to listen to Me they will actually enjoy doing evil. The become good for nothing. Therefore, I will send on them war, famine, and disease. I will break their proud spirit, demoralize them, and confuse them. They will find no satisfaction anywhere.

I will knockdown their false places of worship where people come in and think they are worshipping Me, but have not repented of the immoral things they do. The leaders of these churches speak foolishness. People can not have My peace and live this way. They teach the people that they must be politically correct, and to believe that the Bible is not all true for you today.  I will punish them for their rebellion to My word, and they will have no peace.

To those true children of Mine, remember righteousness and justice are the foundation of My throne. I protect the lives of My obedient children, and I will rescue them from the power of the wicked.

God’s children must always stand for the truth. If they refuse to stand up for the truth, things will only go from bad to worse. Progressive thinkers will take over and begin to take everything you have. They will tell you what you can eat, what you can say, what you can do in your home, how to raise your children, and what is acceptable life styles. They will re-define everything in life, so that no one will know what is truth. Then when you question them they will say how foolish of you to ask why.

Soon when Jesus comes to rule the earth, His rule will be founded on justice and only those know the truth can live in it.

Do any of our leaders in California even talk about righteousness any more? No! They have chosen wicked paths and said, “We do not need God.” They are clever enough at doing wrong, but they have no idea how to do right! These leaders have polluted the land with their progessive thinking, that is why the rains have stopped, and everything we have worked for will be squandered on a delusion.

God’s children need to unite and confess that we have failed to be led by His word. We need to change our hard hearts, and surrender our pride. Come back to God, and live by the truth of His eternal word.

Don’t join up with those who say that God’s word is not true for today. How can those who know the truth be a partner with this progressive thinking? How can the light of the word be around their darkness? What common ground can there be between the truth and their lies? Therefore, have nothing to do with them, and remove them from office. Don’t allow their filthy teachings into your homes!

When God’s children become united, and surrender their wills to Him, He will give us leaders after His heart that will guide us with His knowledge and understanding.  So if we truly wanted to return to God, we could.  Then we could say, “God’s power is working for us. Our hearts may ache, but we always have joy because of His promises. We are poor, but we give spiritual riches to others. We own nothing, and yet we have everything.”

Lord, my body is like a fragile clay jar which is being pressed on every side by the troubles of today; pressed but not crushed. I am puzzled by all that we see going on in the world, but I am not hopeless. I get put down by the people of so called progressive thinking, but I go after Your thoughts and I choose to think the way You think.

I will never be abandoned by You. I will tell anyone who will listen, “I believe in Jesus!” That is why I can never give up on doing so. My body is dying but My spirit is renewed every day by Your word. The troubles I face today are small and won’t last very long! When I keep my eyes on You these problems will produce for me a glory that vastly outweighs them all, and that glory will last forever! So I must not look at the troubles I see now; rather, I must fix my gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things I see now will soon be gone, but the things I cannot see will last forever.

Lord, today people’s minds have become hardened to the truth, and that is why they cannot recognize the truth when it is told to them. This veil can only be removed by believing in You and receiving Your Spirit. When I tell the truth about You, all who are honest will know it is the truth. What is the truth? Satan is the god of this world, and he has blinded the minds of those who refuse to believe in the truth. They are unable to see or understand the glorious light of the Good News; the news about Jesus Christ. Wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom!

Son, I knew you before you were formed in your mother’s womb. I set you apart and appointed you as My spokesmen, and you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you.

Tell America I have pronounced judgment on it for all their evil, and for deserting Me. What did they find wrong with Me that led them to stray so far from Me? They worshiped worthless things only to become worthless themselves. They do not ask, “Where is The Lord?” But shout out loud, “At last we are free from God! We don’t need him.” Some of the pastors of America who are responsible to teach My word, even ignore Me, and teach things I never instructed them to teach. America has brought this upon itself when they rebel against Me. Your wickedness will bring your own punishment, and soon you will see what an evil, bitter thing it is to abandon the Lord your God and not fear Him.

Lord, You are so good, so ready to forgive with unfailing love for all who ask for Your help. Teach me Your ways, that I may live according to Your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor You as You deserve.  Your love for me is greater than life!

Everyone dies, and everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life when He comes back. Our earthly bodies will be planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever. These bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength. They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. Remember, first is the natural body, then the spiritual body comes later. These physical bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God because the Kingdom will last forever.

So be strong and immovable, always working enthusiastically for the Lord. Nothing you do for Him is ever useless. Remember the more you suffer for Christ, the more God will shower you with His comfort. In the days ahead some of us will feel crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we might think that we will not live through it, and then ask God, “Why?”  This will help us to stop relying on ourselves and learn to rely only on God. For, He is the one who raises the dead, and He has identified us as His own by placing the Holy Spirit in us. So when these days arrive, when you walk through the Valley of Weeping it will become a place of refreshing for you instead. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. He will bless those who have humble, contrite hearts; those who know Him by His Word.

Today there is a wide-open door for His children – to tell people who Jesus is, but many will oppose the faithful. So be on guard. Stand firm in the faith of Jesus Christ. Be courageous and strong. Tell the people that God has placed around you His unfailing love. Praise Him for all He has done for you. Rejoice in His great goodness, and His awesome deeds. Remember that since the world began no ear has heard and no eye has seen a God like ours who welcomes all who gladly follow His ways.

Today people who say there is no God shout out, “Where is He, who said He would send His Holy Spirit to live in his people? Where is God whose power was displayed in the Bible when Moses lifted up his hand, and divided the sea before Israel? Where is God in all of the suffering going on in the world today? Where is God when my child died? Where is God when people are stricken with diseases that take their lives?”

The Lord says, “I was ready to respond, but no one asked for help. I was ready to be found, but no one was looking for me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am, call on Me!’ All day long I opened My arms to these rebellious people. But they follow their own evil paths and their own crooked schemes. All day long they insult Me to My face. For when I called to them – they did not answer. When I spoke – they did not listen. Therefore, since they have turned away from Me I will let them have what they desire, and that is to live according to their own ideas. For, I can see what they are doing and I know what they are thinking.”

Lord, You must be very angry with us, for we are not godly. We are constant sinners! How can people like us be saved? We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags to You. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind.

Son, when My troubled children cry out to Me, I will save them. I will display My holiness through those who come near Me in spirit and in truth.
