Son, when sin is not confronted by My righteous people it will become bold and arrogant. Your leaders will unite with troublemakers and begin to mock My children. They will become an object of scorn and ridicule. They will be thought of and treated as a joke. Their walls of protection will be broken down, and they will have their freedom stolen from them.

Lord, look down from heaven and help us. Strengthen the people You love. Let Your compassion meet our needs, for we are on the brink of despair.

Son, what are My people waiting for; they need to confront sin and tell everyone about Me. They need to be strong and full of courage telling everyone, “I am the only one who can wash away sins, and I am coming back soon!”

Young men are seen with a future, old men with a history. It is very important for old men to tell young men of their failures and victories. But, old men need challenges to stay young at heart. No man wants to be known as a man with no future, no matter how old he is.

An old man with a valued history and a valued future – is a very powerful man. Old men start to die when their history is not valued and they see no valued future. What is worse is a young man who just exists; who simply lives for the day.

Son, tell the next generation about My glorious deeds, about My power and My mighty wonders.  Every generation must set its hope on Me because if they don’t put their hope in Me then they will do whatever seems right in their own eyes. They will never know what I have done for them. They will become stubborn – testing Me, even speaking against Me. They will not believe or trust that I can care for them. Their lives will end in failure and terror. They will never know My power and how I can rescue them.

So guard yourself and My people; never stop telling them what they need to hear about Me. Remember, that your life is worth nothing unless you finish the task assigned to you. My grace will build you up and will give you an inheritance along with all those that have set their hope in Me.

Lord, I will not hide these truths from my children and grandchildren. Sometimes You led me through some rough seas, and I cried out to You. All night long I prayed, overwhelmed with fear longing for Your help. I thought You had rejected me, and left me? Then I remembered all the wonderful things You had done for me. How You demonstrated Your awesome power throughout my life. You led me down Your pathway, a pathway I never knew was there!  Thank You Lord that You still lead me and watch over me.

Lord, in my old age don’t set me aside. Though I am not skilled with words, I will proclaim Your saving power. I will tell this new generation of Your mighty miracles. I will tell them about Your righteousness, and how You alone are just; that they need to stay away from worthless things and turn to You.

Son, stop worrying about things in this life. Unless your faith in My words are firm, I cannot make you stand. Tell everyone that I want people to seek after My heart, and do everything I ask them to do. Encourage My people to continue in their faith, and remind them that there will be many hardships in this life. Let them know that I will rescue them when they cry to Me. I always help those who call to Me, for their lives are precious to Me.

Son, there are people who seek guidance from the dead! Shouldn’t they ask ME for guidance? These people are completely in the dark. Wherever they look they will see trouble, anguish and despair. They have rejected Me and they never stop perverting My ways; therefore, they are unworthy of eternal life with Me.

Son, I am getting ready to do something; something no one would believe even if someone told them about it. I have given My children power to do miraculous signs and wonders. They must not think like everyone else does. They must preserve the teaching of My word, and instruct those who follow Me to put all their hope in Me. 

Lord, You are my protection and strength, and I will praise You more and more, for You are with me!

Son, those who drag their sins behind them with ropes made of lies, will have many sorrows. Those  who say that evil is good and good is evil; who are wise in their own eyes, will have many sorrows. Those who take bribes and let the wicked go free, but punish the innocent, will have many sorrows.

I expected to find justice, but instead I found oppression. I expected to find righteousness, but instead I hear cries of violence. These people never think about Me or notice what I am doing.

These people have rejected My word and despise Me. Therefore, I will no longer rescue them!

Lord, my sins cannot be hidden from you, for I am a sinful man, and I live among sinful people. I am exhausted from confessing my sin; my throat is parched. My eyes are swollen from weeping, waiting for Your help. I keep praying to you, hoping this time You will forgive me.

Son, do not call something unclean if I have made it clean. Your sins are removed and forgiven. The evidence of your sins being forgiven is in My blessings, and I have filled you with the joy of My Holy Spirit. I will challenge you by My word and My Holy Spirit to stay true to Me. Remember that My holiness will be displayed by My righteousness.

Son, I hear the cries of the needy; so who should I send as My messenger to these people? Who will go for Me?

Lord, I was poor and needy, and You came to my aid. You are my helper and my Savior. Therefore, who am I to stand in Your way. Here I am, send me.

Son, people are being oppressed every day. Young people insult their elders. Vulgar people sneer at the honorable. People display their sin and don’t even try to hide it. They utter threats at My Children. Therefore, they have brought destruction upon themselves. They are doomed, and will get exactly what they deserve.

Tell My children, that all will be well, because I will provide for them. They will enjoy the rich reward they have earned! Their prayers and gifts to the poor have been received by Me as an offering! Let them know that when they accepted My Son and received My Spirit, that I gave them My peace. So listen to what My people are saying, and you will be greatly encouraged. Soon I will give you treasure from the very people who rebelled against Me. 

Warn My children not to boast about their own strength, because it will became a trap for them and their families. They need to remember all the good I have done for them. I am the One who gives them their power and strength. Now get up and start moving, and I will tell you what you must do.

Lord, may Your ways be known throughout the earth, and Your saving power among people everywhere. For Your Name is the “Lord,” and I will rejoice in Your presence!

Son, the land is full of idols, and people worship things they have made with their own hands. People don’t recognize My care for them. They are a stubborn people, and are heathen at heart and deaf to the truth. Must they resist My Holy Spirit forever? Do they really think that I can be bought! They parade around with religious ceremonies, thinking this is how to approach Me. Stop!! I do not want your meaningless gifts; for they disgust Me! Soon, I will have a day of reckoning. I will punish the proud and mighty and bring down everything that is exalted by humans.

Come let’s settle this! Though your sins are like scarlet; I will make them as white as snow. Those who repent and believe in Me will be renewed by My righteousness. Give up your evil ways, and learn to do good. Seek justice by helping the oppressed. Provide for the orphans and help the widows. Never put your trust in mere humans.

Son, go with the strength you have, for I am sending you, and I will rescue you from all your troubles. I have given you My favor and My wisdom. Tell all who will listen to My life-giving words, “I am the only hope of everyone on earth!” Tell the world how glorious I am. How awesome are My deeds, and that I watch every thing people do.

Lord, when I was overwhelmed by my sins, I confessed them and You forgave them all. My life is in Your hands, and You will keep me from stumbling. I will tell everyone what You have done for me because You listened and heard my prayer.

Son, the human heart and mind are cunning, so listen very carefully to what the leaders of your country are saying, “What’s the use of serving God? What have you gained by obeying his commands and trying to show that you are sorry for your sins?” These leaders have devised a plan, and that is to dilute My word and destroy the family; so that children will be taught that it is okay not to follow My commands.

In My presence, is a scroll of remembrance with the names of those who fear Me and always think about the honor of My name. They will be My children and My special treasure. I will pour out My blessing on them, and I will provide for them.

The day of judgment is coming, and on that day the arrogant and the wicked will be burned up like straw. They will be consumed-roots, branches, and all. But My children will rejoice on this day and find shelter in Me. So be prepared and remember that I am marching ahead of you, and I will teach and strengthen you on how to survive.

Lord, help me to rejoice in that You counted me worthy to suffer for You. For You are my God, and I earnestly search for You. Your unfailing love is better than life itself. Help me to cling to You, and remember that Your strong right hand holds me securely.

Son, this generation does not acknowledge Me or remember the mighty things I have done. They abandoned Me, when they started to worship the gods of the people around them. They refuse to give up their evil practices and stubborn ways. They show contempt for My name and say, “It’s too hard to serve the Lord.” They make their living by extortion, and put their hope in taking what does not belong to them.

So tell them that I am bringing curses down against them. I will curse even the blessings they received in the past because they have not taken My warning to heart. Since they have dishonored My name by their actions, they will live their lives in great distress. Their country will be known as “The Land of Wickedness.”

What do I want? GODLY CHILDREN!! So guard your heart; remain loyal to the wife of your youth. If your wealth increases, don’t make it the center of your life. Make up your minds to honor My name. Pass on My truth you have received from Me to your children. Do not lie or cheat; but show your children that you walk with Me. Live such good and righteous lives that your children will see how blessed you are; that you have turned away from the sins of this generation.

Lord, my victory and honor come from You alone. I must listen carefully to everything You tell me. My prayer is that people will know that I am just an ordinary man with no special training in Your Word, but that I have been with You.
