Son, I am able to save and help you. I live forever to intercede with God on your behalf. I am holy and blameless, and unstained by sin. There is no one like Me. Who can challenge Me? What ruler can oppose My will? Every word of Mine proves true. Therefore, I will be your shield when you come to Me for protection.

Son, if the innocent must suffer in this life, how much more must the guilty suffer! They will not go unpunished. They will drink My cup of judgment! They trust in their wealth, and think no one could ever harm them. They have been deceived, and their day of reckoning has arrived. Remember, when the wicked are in authority sin flourishes, and these wicked people will despise anything or anyone who represents Me. So My children must be like the ants, and begin to store up provision for what is coming.

Lord, You alone have all power, therefore I put my confidence in You.

Son, some people think they are always right, but I examine the heart. So choose a good reputation over great riches; be honest and trustworthy. Being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold. Remember, good planning and hard work always lead to success, but unplanned shortcuts always lead to failure.

Wisdom is to know when to keep your mouth shut, so that you do not cause unnecessary trouble. Be cautious about the people who are around you. If you associate with angry, hot-tempered people, you will learn to be like them. Instead, let your life be pleasing to Me. You will grow in knowledge of Me when you have people in your life that love My word and live by My word.

Son, people who are greedy for more of anything – are never satisfied with what they have. When they shut their ears to the cries of the poor, I will ignore them when they cry out to Me in their time of need. These people ask Me to show them what to do and where to go. But, if it is not what they want to hear they will refuse to obey whatever I tell them!

Lord, no human wisdom, or understanding, or plan can stand against You. Because You are with me, I can be sure that You will rescue me. Help me to understand and experience all the good things I have in You.

Son, people ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then they get angry at Me. To them nothing is pure, their minds and consciences have become corrupt. They claim to know Me, but they deny Me by the way they live. They are foolish, disobedient people who have been misled and have become slaves to their lusts and pleasures. Their lives are full of evil, envy, and hate.

Teach them to know My truth, and that My truth will show them how to live godly lives. This truth will give them confidence that they have eternal life with Me. Show them My truth in your life by being an example to them through your obedience. Let your life reflect the integrity and seriousness of knowing the truth. What is this truth? I gave My life to free people from every kind of sin, to cleanse them, and to make them My very own people, totally committed to being obedient.

Lord, help me to teach the truth. Help me to keep my heart pure so that I can encourage others with Your truth. Help me to keep my eyes open to all Your opportunities that you bring my way. Help me not to get even when people have wronged me. Help me to allow Your penetrating light to expose every hidden motive in my life. I don’t want You to say of me at the end of my life: “He did well in following My instructions, but did not obey Me with all his heart.”

Son, you are living in the last days. The conditions today are what I said they would be two thousand years ago. The last days will be very difficult, people will love themselves and their money. People will be boastful, proud, oppose the truth and mock Me. They will be disobedient to their parents and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good, and love pleasure rather than Me. They will act religious, but will reject the power that could make them Godly. They no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching, but follow their own desires and look for teachers who will tell them what they want to hear.

Son, people are morally corrupt and have established a counterfeit faith. They won’t get away with this for long; soon they will be recognized for the fools they are. These people continue to say, “That couldn’t happen. This is not right. This is the day of good news.” They think that wealth is a strong defense against the hard times that are coming. They spout off before listening to the facts, because they only want to air their own opinions. They have no interest in trying to understand why, and lash out at common sense.

Son, be prepared and don’t be afraid. Share with everyone I send to you. I will restore everything that you give. Remember that everyone who wants to live a Godly life will suffer persecution. I test your heart, and when My Love prospers – faults are forgiven.

Lord, Your word will teach me what is true and make me realize what is wrong in my life. It corrects me and teaches me to do what is right. It helps me to be prepared for what is coming. Your word tells me that if I eagerly look forward to Your return, I will be given a crown of righteousness. So, I must tell others about the power of Your word and that everything will happen just as You said it would!

Son, never be ashamed to tell anyone about Me, but tell them about the future life I have promised to all who would believe. Be known as one who correctly handles My words of truth, for My words cannot be chained. Guard this truth that I have entrusted to you. Teach it to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass it on to others. Endure suffering as a good soldier and remember that soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life. If you die for Me, you will live with Me. If you endure hardship for Me, you will reign with Me. If you deny Me, I will deny you. If you are unfaithful, I will remain faithful.

So go in the strength I have given you and be ready to suffer for the sake of My truth. Use the power of My Holy Spirit who lives within you. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on Me with pure hearts, and be patient with difficult people. Gentle words are a tree of life, so think carefully before speaking. Commit your plans to Me and your plans will succeed. Those who listen to My instruction will prosper; those who trust Me will be joyful.

Son, I have spoken to your leaders again and again, and they refuse to listen to Me. I told them to turn from their wicked ways, and start doing what is right; to stop worshiping the gods of this world so that your country might have peace. But, they would not listen to Me and they show no signs of fear or repentance. Therefore, I will refuse to listen or answer when they call to Me; for I will send upon Your country all the disasters I have said.

Lord, I am not ashamed of You or Your book of truth. For I know You and trust You, and I am sure that You are able to guard me and my family until the day You return. Help me to never have these types of attitudes towards You, “I thought You should have done this.” “I expected You to do this for me.” “Why should I wait for You any longer?” I will simply go and do what You have told me to do. Thank You, that You know me, and that Your unfailing love and faithfulness made atonement for all my sins.

Son, some of My children have put their trust in Me, and soon people of this world will see the peace and prosperity I will give them. These children will use this prosperity for good, and will be generous to those in need and always ready to share with others. This will cause them to build on a good foundation, and they will experience what true life is.

It is pleasant to see My promises come true, but it is foolish to think that you alone can attain them. People who think like this become corrupt, and have turned their backs to the truth. They think godliness is just a way to become wealthy. They long to be rich, and therefore have opened themselves up to temptation and many foolish and harmful desires that will lead to destruction. Remember, the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, and some of My people who crave money have wandered from the truth and pierced themselves with many sorrows. So pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance and gentleness. Do not trust in money, which is so unreliable.

Lord, waiting for what You promised is hard for me, for I long for Your promise to us to be fulfilled. I know there is a path before me that seems right, but I need to carefully consider all my steps and ask You which path to take.

BE ENCOURAGED!!

Son, be encouraged in your faith. Be encouraged in your troubles, because you will always have troubles in this life, but your love for Me, and one another will grow and overflow. By living this way, it pleases Me, and it encourages others to do so.

Keep this on your mind for it will encourage you. Soon I will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel and the trumpet call of God. Those Christians who have died will rise from their graves, and then those who are still alive will be caught up in the clouds to meet Me in the air. Then you will be with Me forever. So encourage each other with these words, and keep it in your mind that this day will come unexpectedly. So be on your guard, stay alert and be clearheaded; for soon you will live with Me forever! So encourage each other and build each other up with this promise.

Be encouraged at what awaits the leaders of your country; for they have destroyed and scattered the very ones they were expected to care for. All they do is evil and abuse what power they have. They do not listen to My prophets, and My heart is broken. They fill people with futile hopes, and they make up everything they do, and then say, “Don’t worry! No harm will come your way!”  They should be asking each other, “How would I answer this problem? What is My view about this issue.” Because they speak of false hopes and try to get My people to forget Me, I am against these smooth-tongued politicians and My judgment is coming.

Son, test everything that is said by these politicians, but trust Me with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding, but seek My will in all you do. I will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear Me and turn away from evil. Honor Me with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Remember, that I correct those I love, just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights. Do not lose sight of common sense and discernment, but hang on to them. I will keep your foot from being caught in a trap. I bless the home of the upright.

Son, pay attention to what I say by listening very carefully to My words. Don’t lose sight of them, but let them penetrate deep into your heart, and you will BE ENCOURAGED!!

Son, what a horrible thing to stand before Me and have My Father say, “Let the record show that this man is a failure.” So follow the steps of good men who have gone ahead of you and stay on the path of the righteous. Look at the path of My servant David, who obeyed My commands and followed Me with all his heart and always did whatever I commanded. When you walk My path for your life you will understand what is right, just and fair; you will know the right way to go. When you speak, tell those who will listen how you are looking forward to My coming. Remember I love you and have chosen you to be with Me forever. I am the One who will rescue you from the terrors of the coming judgment.

I shield anyone who walks with integrity, but fools despise My wisdom and discipline. These fools rush to commit evil, not knowing that greed and their love of money will rob them of life. Remember that to fear Me is the foundation of true knowledge. So listen to what I say, and treasure My commands. Then you will understand what it means to fear Me, and you will gain knowledge of My Father.

I called to these foolish people who love this world more than Me, but they wouldn’t come. I reached out to them, but they paid no attention. It has made Me furious! Therefore, they must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way.

Son, keep being faithful at your work, keep on doing My loving deeds, and never give up the enduring hope you have, because I am with you. Your purpose is to please Me, not people. I alone examine the motives of your heart. Therefore, live your life in a way that My Father would consider worthy. For He is the One who gives you hope and joy, and will reward you with a crown as you stand before Him!

Son, remember I am coming soon, so don’t worry about anything. Instead, pray about everything. Tell Me what you need, and thank Me for all I have done. Then you will experience My peace, which exceeds anything you can understand. My peace will guard your heart and mind as you live on this earth.  So fix your thoughts on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Forget the past and look forward to what lies ahead. I will take your weak mortal body and change it into a glorious body like Mine; so stay true to Me.

Lord, I can see what You have done for me and my family. I have no confidence in my own flesh. Everything is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing You. For I want to know and experience You. Help me to learn how to be content with what I have, and learn the secret of living victoriously in every situation. You told me that I can do everything through You. You promised to take care of me and my family, and supply all of our needs. When I discover Your words, I devour them. They are my joy and my heart’s delight.

Son, soon people of this world will ask you to plead on their behalf because of the trouble and distress that is coming. Whatever happens, rejoice in Me; for you are My spokesman. Speak My words with confidence, then you will be an influence, but if you do not speak My words then they will influence you!

Son, tell your nation that their leaders have abandoned Me and have turned their back on Me. Therefore, I will raise My fist to destroy them. I am tired of giving them another chance; for sin runs rampant in your nation. I have removed My protection and peace from them. I have taken away My unfailing love and My mercy. They will ask you, “Why have I said such terrible things against them? What have we done to deserve such treatment? What is our sin?” Then you must tell them that it is because they are unfaithful to Me. They worship other gods and serve them, and have abandoned Me and My word. They stubbornly follow their own evil desires and refuse to listen to Me. Now I will show them My power; now I will show them My might, and at last they will know and understand that I am the Lord.”

Lord, You are my strength and fortress, my refuge in the day of trouble! You always keep Your promises. You help the fallen and lift those bent beneath their loads. You are close to all who call on You, and You hear our cries for help and rescue us. There is no God like You in all of heaven above or on the earth below. You show unfailing love to all who walk in wholehearted devotion. Give me the desire to do Your will in everything and to obey all Your commands. Thank You for Your faithfulness!
