Lord, while reading about the kings of Israel and Judah a thought came to me. What would You write about Your children today who live in this land of America?

Son, I would say that most of My children compare themselves with each other using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!  When people commend themselves, it doesn’t count for much. The important thing is for them to ask is, “What does God think of me. Does God commend us?” I told your forefathers that if they obey Me and do whatever I command, then I will be with your nation; I will be your God. So tell My children to remember the covenant I made with their forefathers, and do everything I require, and I will record – that they followed Me with their whole heart.

As it stands right now, this is what I have to say, “What right do these people have, who say they are My children, to come to Me for anything – when they do so many immoral things? The only thing I will hear from them is a sincere and humble confession unto repentance! They actually rejoice in doing evil. These people listen to their leaders who tell them how important they are! Therefore, I am going to bring calamity upon this land, and these people will not escape. Though they beg for mercy, I will not listen to their cries.

Lord, then why do You let these wicked people prosper; why are they allowed to keep doing what they do? They have produced greater wickedness in this land and it grieves and oppresses Your children. Your Name is only on their lips as a curse, and they have no idea what the truth is. How long must this land mourn? For these people boldly say that You have no part in our future and that You cannot see or control what’s ahead for us!

Son, My children must use My mighty word of truth to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy these false arguments. Do not trust these arrogant leaders no matter how pleasant they speak about themselves. They never confess wrong doing, and are great at blaming others. Remember, My children must shout this to anyone who will listen, “Any nation who refuses to obey The Lord God will be uprooted and destroyed!”

Son, if My children are tired now in defending the truth against men – how will they fare when they have to stand against what is coming? If they stumble and fall on open ground, what will they do in the thickets of deciet?

Lord, our only hope is to go to Your altar and pray for Your help. We need You to raise up leaders who will lead us back to You. Leaders who make You their only source of joy. Leaders who will praise You. Only by Your power can we push back this enemy who is bent on destroying this nation and removing Your truth from the land. Only in Your Name can we trample these false leaders. Only with Your help can we know who You have provided to rescue us.

Lord, my hope is in You, and I will praise You – my Savior and my God!

Lord, I have to confess that it is easy to become discouraged. Look at what is taking place; people refuse to stand up for the truth. They go from bad to worse, and refuse to acknowledge You.

Son, this has happened because some of My shepherds have lost their senses and left the way in which to shepherd My sheep. They no longer seek My wisdom. Therefore, their flocks are scattered. Because of these shepherds some of My children have abandoned My word, and have refused to obey what it says. What will I do – but test them with the fire. Therefore, a time is coming when I will punish all those who refuse to acknowledge Me and My word.

My children should cleanse themselves from everything that can defile their body or spirit. They should work toward complete holiness, and fear Me. When My children begin to live their lives this way it will lead them away from sin, and they will never regret it. But when My children live worldly – they will not see the importance of repentance, and this will result in their spiritual death.  In the coming days My children will be tested by many troubles, then what will they do?

Son, why are you discouraged? Why is your heart so sad? You need to put your hope in Me! Here is my advice for you: finish what you started! Let the eagerness you showed in the beginning be matched now by how you finish your life. Give in proportion to what you have, and I will accept it if you give it eagerly. Do not promise to give what you do not have. Remember, I told you how to overcome discouragement! It starts with the words, “I will.”

Lord, I will praise You. I will remember You each day. You have poured Your unfailing love upon me. I will put my hope in You! I will praise You again and again because there is no one like You! You are great, and Your Name is full of power. You are the only true God. You are the living God; the everlasting King!

Lord, I am tired of telling everyone who will listen that judgment is coming. I want to be quiet like so many, and the rest who seem to have their lives in order. But as I stood there in silence – not saying anything – Your words became hot within me.

You have made for me an eternal body; a body for my spirit. This was not made by human will or human hands. While I live in this earthly body, my spirit groans and sighs. It is not that I want to die and get rid of this body. Rather, I want to put on my new body. But only those who receive Your Sprit can have this hope. Anyone who belongs to You has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

Lord, You gave Your life, a sinless life, as the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through You. Therefore, we have been given spiritual riches, even though poor in every way. We own nothing, and yet we have everything.

Son, You must tell everyone everything I say. Tell My children not to be fooled by those who promise safety simply because they are a spiritual leader. If they say that no judgment is coming while My church is still here, do not be fooled into thinking that My children will never suffer. It’s a lie! Do My children really think they can steal, murder, commit adultery and lie without a consequence? I spoke to them about this repeatedly, but they will not listen. I called out to them, but they refused to answer. This is what I told them: “Obey Me, and I will be your God, and you will be My people. Do everything as I say, and all will be well!” Say to them, “This is a nation whose people will not obey Me and who refuse to be taught. Truth has vanished from among them; it is no longer heard on their lips. Therefore, I have rejected and forsaken this generation that has provoked My fury.”

Why do all these people stay on their self-destructive path? Why do they refuse to turn back to Me? They cling tightly to their lies and will not turn around. I listen to their conversations and I cannot hear a word of truth. Is anyone sorry for doing wrong? Does anyone say, “What a terrible thing we have done!”?  No! All are running down the path of sin as swiftly as a horse galloping into battle! How can they say, “We are wise because we have the word of the Lord,” when your teachers have twisted what I say? These lying teachers will fall into the trap of their own foolishness, for they have rejected the word of the Lord. They give assurances of peace when there is no peace. People hope for peace, but no peace will come – until I come!

People have hoped for a time of healing, but found only terror.

Son, My grief is beyond healing and My heart is broken. I will be merciful only if they stop their evil thoughts and deeds, and start teaching and obeying the truth.

Stop murdering your unborn children! Stop harming yourselves by worshiping the things of this world!

Lord, I will wait for You to help me, for You have heard my cry. You will lift me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire of this world. You will set my feet on solid ground and steady me as I walk. You have given me a new song of praise to You. Many will see what You have done and be amazed.  Now that you have made me listen, I finally understand that You don’t require my offerings. You require my obedience. I take joy in doing Your good will, for Your words are written on my heart.

Lord, may those who try to destroy and humiliate me be put to shame. May those who take delight in my trouble be turned back in disgrace. As for me, since I am poor and needy, You are my helper, my Savior, and my God. Do not delay in rescuing me from those that trouble me.

Son, My children are like fragile clay jars, which hold My Spirit, and this makes it clear for all to see that their great power is from Me, not from themselves. When they become pressed on every side by troubles, they will not be crushed. When they are perplexed, they will never be in despair. When they are hunted down, I will never abandon them. When they get knocked down, they will not be destroyed. My children have My light shining in their hearts.

Lord, I looked at my life; my entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, I am just a breath. I am merely a moving shadow, and all of my busyness ends in nothing. I want to busy myself for Your Kingdom.

Son, My children must stop relying on themselves and others, but learn to rely only on Me. I placed My Holy Spirit in their hearts as the first installment that will guarantee everything I have promised them. I have given them an open door of opportunity, so that they can spread the knowledge of Me everywhere. I know that some of My children feel crushed and overwhelmed beyond their ability to endure, and they think that they will not be able to live through it. At these times My children must know that I am the source of all comfort and strength. I will comfort them in all of their troubles so that they can comfort others. Remember that the more you suffer for Me, the more I will shower My comfort on you, and your life will be like a sweet perfume to Me.

Son, I would love to treat all of the people of your country as My children! I wanted nothing more than to bless them in this beautiful land- the finest possession in the world. I looked forward to them calling Me, “Father.” So now the land has become polluted because they have refused to sincerely return to Me, they only pretended to be sorry. They must acknowledge their guilt. They must admit that they have rebelled against Me. They must confess that they have refused to listen to My voice. If they wanted to return to Me, they could.

Lord, the people of my country have chosen crooked paths and have forgotten You. Everything our forefathers have worked for has been squandered on a delusion. We have become stupid children with no understanding. Our leaders are clever enough at doing wrong, and they have no idea how to do right! Sin whispers deep into our leaders. The people have no fear of You at all. In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really have become. They expect You to wave Your hand over this land to bless it and change it.

Son, the people of your land must change their hearts by plowing up the hard ground of their hearts! They must surrender their pride and power, before it is too late. If they do not change, then My anger will burn like an unquenchable fire. Waves of destruction will roll over your land. The people are foolish because they refuse to know Me.

Lord, oppose those who oppose me. Fight those who fight against me. Let me hear You say, “I will give you victory!” They accuse me of things I know nothing about. Don’t let them say, “Look, we got what we wanted!” For You are the fountain of life, the light by which I see. Pour out Your unfailing love on those who love You; give justice to those who have honest hearts. Don’t let these proud leaders trample Your children. Don’t allow the wicked to continue pushing Your children around.

Son, those who do evil will fall! They will be thrown down, never to rise again. Soon they will hear My steps.

Son, I have put my words in you and you must say everything I tell you. For I am watching this land you live in and I have pronounced judgment on it for all their evil, and for deserting Me. What did your leaders find wrong with Me that led them to stray so far from Me? The people are worshiping worthless things, only to become worthless themselves. No one asks, “Where is the Lord?” Some who have taught My word – now ignore Me. Therefore, the people have brought this upon themselves by rebelling against Me. The wickedness in your land will bring its own punishment. By turning from Me this will shame your land. Soon they will see what an evil, bitter thing it is not to fear Me and to be abandoned by Me. These people have turned their backs on Me, so when they cry out to Me in their times of trouble, “Come and save us! We have done nothing wrong. Surely God isn’t angry!”… I will punish them severely.

Son, tell My children that when they stand for My truth; the truth found only in My word, the false leaders and false pastors of your land will fight them, but they will fail. For I am with My children, and I will take care of them. My children must remember that My word holds true, and they can trust everything I say. I breathed the word, and the world began! It all appeared at My command. I watch over everyone who fears Me. Those who rely on My unfailing love – I will keep them in times of famine – believing and satisfied because of My word.

Those who fear Me will have all they need. Those who trust in Me will lack no good thing. My eyes watch over those who do right; My ears are open to their cries for help. I will rescue them from all their troubles. My children will face many troubles in the days ahead, but I will rescue them each time. My children must remember that those whom I have redeemed, and who serve Me – can take refuge in Me. They will never be condemned by Me or My Father.

Son, remember that love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance; it will last forever! So let love be your highest goal, and be innocent as babies when it comes to evil, but be mature in understanding matters of this kind. I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as My prophet. Therefore you must say whatever I tell you because I have reached out to touch your mouth. Tell My children to get out of debt, and to be free from the worldly systems. My children must learn to give to those who are in need so they can eat, and when they give there will be plenty for all and some left over, just like I promised.

Lord, what joy there is ahead for all of Your children because You have chosen us to partake in Your inheritance. Please open the hearts of Your children so that they can understand everything that is coming. Let your unfailing love surround us. For our hope is in You alone. When Your children pray – You will answer us. You will free us from all of our fears, and save us from all of our troubles. You have placed Your angels as guards around us. You will defend us on the great Day when we stand before You.

Son, how much longer will the people of your country waver between two opinions? If I am God then follow Me! But if Satan is your god, then follow him!

It is because of your country’s sins that I have turned away and will not listen to your leaders anymore. No one cares about being fair and honest. The lawsuits in your land are based upon lies. The people are so oppressed by injustice that they don’t know where to find peace, or what it means to be just and good.

The sins of your country are piled up and testify against them. Your courts oppose the righteous, and justice is nowhere to be found. Truth stumbles in the streets, and honesty has been outlawed. Yes, truth is gone, and anyone who renounces evil is attacked. Your leaders and professors in your colleges have mapped out crooked roads, and anyone who follows their advice will never have a moment’s peace. Since there is no justice among your leaders, and since the next generation has bought into the lie taught to them by their professors – no one has any idea on how to solve the problems they face.

Son, My own children say, “I am allowed to do anything.” Tell them that I see the sexual immorality going on among them. I’m not referring to unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin. I mean there are people in My church who are indulging in sexual sin!  My church leaders must judge them and tell them that those who claim to be a believer and yet indulge in sexual sin must be removed. Don’t even eat with such people who live this way.

When My words are followed, the sinful nature will be destroyed and they will be saved on the day when I return. My church must be built on the bread of sincerity and truth that is found in My word and no where else. I cleansed My children and made them holy when they first called on My Name. I made right with Me; therefore, My children must run from sexual sin of all kinds! For no other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. Sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by Me? Therefore, you do not belong to yourself; for I bought you with a high price, and you must honor Me with your body.

O Lord, I give my life to You. No one who trusts in You will ever be disgraced. Show me the right path, by pointing out the way that I am to follow. Lead me by Your truth and teach me Your way to live; for you are My God, and You will save me. I put my hope in You; in Your unfailing love. Those who follow You will know the path they should choose. When I live according to Your truth, I stand on solid ground.

Yesterday I received an very upsetting email. In this email this person made an insulting and dishonest offer to settle their project I have been working on. So I got up early this morning and asked God how should I pray for these kind of people.  The Lord told me:

“These people actually destroy people for money, and they rule by fear and intimidation.” 

Lord, please show me how to pray, for I would love to see You destroy everything they own, and make them have to work with their hands, instead of using money this way. Then they would see the other side, the integrity of people who work hard with their hands, and do what they say they will do, even if they lose money keeping their promise.

Lord, listen to my cry for help. I am praying to You because I know You will answer. Protect me from wicked people who are without integrity. Listen to their boasting, Lord, bring them to their knees! By the power of Your hand, destroy them because they look to this world for their reward. They attack people when they are in distress.

Son, everyone must submit to someone, so give them the little respect they deserve – as you work for them. Remember, love does no wrong to others, and this fulfills My requirements. Clothe yourself with My presence, and don’t let yourself think about ways to get even. Don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong. You may believe there’s nothing wrong with what you are doing, but keep it between yourself and Me. So listen to Me, and consider the Rock from which you were cut, the quarry from which you were mined, as My treasured son. Do not be afraid of their scorn, or fear their insults. For I will comfort you and lead you all the way.

Son, why are you upset by these mere humans, who wither like the grass and disappear? I will put My words in your mouth, then they will recognize that I am the One who speaks to them. My way is perfect, and you must remember that all of My promises are true. I will be your shield for you looked to Me for protection.

You can be sure that they will give a personal account to Me. To the faithful – I show Myself faithful; to those with integrity I show My integrity; but to the wicked I will show them My hostility. I will rescue the humble, and I will humiliate the proud. I will strike these proud people down so they will not get up. I will arm you with My strength for the battle ahead, and they will fall under your feet. When they call for My help, I will not come to their rescue. When they cry out to Me for mercy, I will refuse to answer; for it will be too late because they refused Me every time I came to them. I will pay back those who have harmed you by handing them over to their tormentors; those who they fear the most.  Soon they will come to know My power and authority.

Lord, You are my Rock, my Fortress, and my Savior. You have the power to save me. For I called on You and You saved me from my enemies. In my distress You heard me from Your Sanctuary. You heard my plea for justice.

Son, the godly people in the land are My true heroes. I take pleasure in them! I called each of them by name before they were born. These heroes know that My gifts and also their calling in life that I gave them – can never be withdrawn.

To the rest of My children I say, “If you stop trusting in Me – this will be your reward from me: you will soon fall down in great torment, and be in a deep sleep of your faith. Your eyes are shut so you do not see all that I am doing, and your ears are closed so they do not hear what I say through My prophets. You think that the wealth you have is a gift from Me, but it is a trap that makes you think – all is well – when it is not.”

My children need to turn to Me in repentance and pray, “We have sinned, done evil, and acted wickedly.”  Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith I given you. If My children turn to Me with their whole heart and soul then I will hear their prayers and petitions, and uphold their cause. Then people all over the world will know that I alone am God and there is no other. I plead with My children to give their lives to Me because of all I have done for them. If they offer their lives to Me as a living holy sacrifice, that I find acceptable, they will know that My will is good and pleasing.  Don’t copy the world, but let Me transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what My will is for you; My perfect and acceptable will.

Lord, my work seems so useless! It seems as though I have spent my strength for nothing and to no purpose. Yet I leave it in Your hand, and trust You.

Son, there are some of My children in your country who have remained faithful to Me. They have never bowed down to the systems of the world. So be careful not think too highly of yourself, but fear what could happen if you stopped believing. I will discipline My children who disobeyed, but those who desire Me and My word, and continue to trust in My kindness – I will help them, and I will protect them. I will give them My words of wisdom, so that they will know how to comfort the weary.

Lord, thank You for showing me the way of life, and granting me the joy of Your presence and the pleasures of living with You forever.
