Lord, violence is everywhere! Wherever I look, I see destruction and violence. The law has become paralyzed, and there is no justice in our courts. The wicked far outnumber the righteous, so that justice has become perverted.

Son, don’t worry about evil people who prosper, or fret about their wicked plans. Do you think I will let them get away with this forever? Look at how proud they have become. They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked. They are never satisfied, and they think their wealth will buy them security, and place them beyond the reach of danger. Remember that I just laugh at their foolishness for I know their day of judgment is coming.

I am going to do something in your day, something you wouldn’t believe even if someone told you about it. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. It might seem slow in coming, but wait patiently – for it will surely take place. The earth will be filled with an awareness of My glory.

Son, study My word continually, meditating on it day and night, then you will know what I require of you. Do not deviate from what I tell you by turning either to the right or to the left. Trust Me, and be delighted in the fact that I know you. Commit everything to Me, then be still and wait patiently for Me to act. I will be with you; I will not fail you or abandon you, and you will prosper and succeed in all you do.

Tell My church to wake up and look around, the fields are already ripe for harvest. They need to tell everyone that unless they are born again, they cannot see My kingdom. There will be no judgment against anyone who believes in Me. But anyone who does not believe in me is already judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son. This judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions are evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. Anyone who believes in Me has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t believe in Me will never experience eternal life but remain under My Father’s angry judgment.

Lord, You are the Savior of this world!!

Son, in the beginning I existed with God, and I am God. I created everything, and nothing was created except by Me. I gave life to everything that was created, and My life brought light to everyone. This light of Mine shines in the darkness of this world, and that darkness can never extinguish it. I became human so that I can take away the sins of the world, but not everyone will recognize or accept this. But those who do recognize Me, by believing and accepting Me, I will give them the right to be My children.

Son, I know there will be a lot of people who will not recognize or accept that I can save them. I do not need anyone to tell Me what mankind is really like. I know that they listen to the whispers of sin deep within their hearts, and they have no fear of Me at all. In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are. They need to remember that I am slow to get angry, but My power is great, and I never let the guilty go unpunished.

Lord, Your unfailing love is as vast as the heavens, and I can find shelter in the shadow of Your wings. You are the fountain of life, and the light by which I see. Your love for me is obvious to all, because I am in Your hands. What a great honor to be saved by You.

Son, I will be your refuge when trouble comes, and I will remove the bondage of this world from you. Remember that My everlasting arms are under you, and I will pour My unfailing love on you. I am close to those who trust in Me, so be encouraged for I am coming soon!

Son, there is no other god but Me! I am the One who gave you life, and I am the One who heals. I merely spoke and the heavens were created. I breathed the word and all the stars were born. So  take to heart My words that I have given you. Pass them on to your children so they will know and obey every word. My instructions are not empty words-they are your life! By obeying them you will enjoy a long life, and you can trust everything I do.

My eyes will watch over you because I know you, and My ears are open to your cries for help. When you face troubles I will rescue you each time. When you pray to Me I will answer you, and free you from your fears. Remember, that I am watching over you because you are relying on My unfailing love.

Son, ask your countrymen what have I done to make them tired of Me? Don’t they remember anything? Therefore, I will hide My face from them on account of all the evil they do and the worshiping of other gods. They have raised up a twisted generation; children without integrity. I will abandon them; then lets see what becomes of them.

What do I want? For your countrymen to do what is right according to My word. To seek My mercy, and to walk humbly before Me. They should fear Me if they are wise! My voice calls to everyone who will listen.

Lord, though I fall-You will help me up again. Though I sit in darkness-You are my light; for You delight in showing Your unfailing love to me, and to those who will listen and follow Your word.

Lord, in this time of trouble I am coming to You for help.  In panic I cried out, and You heard and answered my call for help. I come to You, for You will do what is right for me. You see all my troubles, and You care about the anguish of my soul.  I am trusting in You because You are my God! My future is in Your hands, and someday I will know how great Your goodness is that You have stored up for me. 

Son, I protect those who are loyal to Me. There is great joy in heaven when a person’s rebellion is forgiven, and their sin is put out of My sight! I will guide them along the best pathway for their life, and I will advise them and watch over them. My unfailing love will surround those who trust in Me. So rejoice and be glad!

Lord, when I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long. Finally, I confessed all my sins to You and stopped trying to hide my guilt. You forgave me, and all my guilt is gone!! Therefore, You are my hiding place, and You protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of Your grace.

Son, do not let your hearts be dulled by the worries of this life. Pray that you will be strong enough to go through the coming events, and know that I pleaded for you in the garden, that your faith will not fail.

Lord, I will follow You forever and ever, and know that You love Your children!

Son, any nation that lives by My commands will be set high above all the nations of the world. Wherever they go and whatever they do, they will be blessed. I will guarantee a blessing on everything they do. Their land will be called a blessed land. I will establish them as My holy people, and all the nations of the world will stand in awe of them. I will make them the head, not the tail.

When a new generation comes up that refuses to follow My commands, pay close attention! Let all the people of the land and all surrounding nations listen! Let the whole earth hear. For I will bring accusations against them, and I am coming!

Because this new generation has refused to listen, all these things will come and overwhelm them. They will become an object of horror, ridicule, and mockery. Foreigners living among them will become stronger and stronger, while they become weaker and weaker. They will live in bondage to others until they are destroyed. Their hearts will tremble, and their souls will be in despair. Their lives will be constantly unbalanced because of fear. They will be unsure, and no longer walk around proudly; for it will be a terrible time.

People will tell you not to say such things. Such disasters will never come our way!  Don’t talk that way, tell us about the joys of rebellion and indulgence; for that is what we want to hear. Tell them I have no patience with such behavior! If they do what is right, then they will find My words comforting, but they have filled this land with sin and ruined it completely.

I came to seek and save those who are lost. So listen to My voice for it echoes above the sea. My voice is powerful and majestic. By My voice I can make the earth shake, and in My Temple everyone shouts, “Glory!”

Lord thank you that You give Your people strength, and bless them with peace. Thank You that Your anger lasts only a moment, but Your favor lasts a lifetime! Your favor has made me secure, and I will give You thanks forever!

Son, when I return will I find anyone with faith? Faith is just believing that what I said, I will do, and for people to act as though it has happened. Remember the story of the ten lepers, I told them to go to the priest and as they went they were cleansed of their leprosy, but they had to go first.When the blind man cried out to Me to heal him, I told him to stand up and go, but he needed to stand first so that he would be healed. Most people will not understand the significance or grasp what I am talking about. These people want Me to do for them without their being any action on their part, and this is why I ask, “When I return will I find anyone with faith?”

Lord, help me to increase my faith, by acting upon what You have told me. To obey Your words is simply my duty as Your child. What stops me is when I cling to this life of mine. I know that if I let go of my wants and desires, You will give me an abundant life. Help me to keep sight of the fact that I will live in Your house for ever and ever!

Son, never forget this! If you give up your wants and desires for Me; I will repay you many times over in this life, and the life to come, and I will declare that you are My special treasure. Therefore, you must obey all My commands. If you do you will receive praise and honor, and you will be known by Me. So watch yourself, because there will always be the temptation to give in to your desires.

Lord, I know that You are merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. So teach me how to live, and lead me along the right path.

Lord, I give my life to You. I trust You and I know that no one who trusts in You will ever be disgraced. Show me the right way to go, by pointing out Your road to me. Let Your truth teach me, for You are the One who saved me. My eyes are always looking for You, and I know You will free me from the traps set by those who oppose me. Man’s integrity and honesty will not provide any protection, so I put my hope in You. I am always aware of Your unfailing love. So, help me to live according to Your truth, then I will stand on solid ground.

Son, when anyone comes to their senses, and returns to Me, there is great joy in heaven! When they come to Me I am filled with love and compassion, I will run to them, embrace them, and kiss them. I will joyfully carry them on My shoulders. For salvation comes from Me alone.

To those who like to appear righteous, I know their hearts. They will not listen to My prophets, or even someone who has risen from the dead. They love their money, and scoff at those who follow Me. They run in an opposite direction to get away from Me, so that I will not see how wicked they are, but they cannot run away from Me. My word tells them their fate, and My judgments against them.

Son, I called to you from the land of the dead, and you heard Me. So use all your worldly resources to help others come to their senses and find Me. If you are faithful in small things, I will give you greater things. If you can can be trusted with worldly wealth, I will trust you with the true riches in heaven? If you are faithful with people’s things, then I can trust you with things of your own.

Son, you can cry out to Me any time, I will hear and answer you.

Son, soon everyone will acknowledge and bow down before Me. So tell everyone that if they want to follow Me, they must count the cost. It will require them to give Me everything they own. Their love for Me must be greater than their love for father, mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters-yes, even their own life. Otherwise, they cannot be My followers!

Those who follow My ways will have reason to praise Me, and I will give them everlasting joy. I will lead them and they will have all they need. My path will lead them through green meadows, and beside peaceful streams. I will renew their strength as I lead them down the right paths, and their life will bring honor to My Name. Even when they go through very dark times, they will have no fear, because I am walking the path with them. My word will give them great comfort, and I will never ignore or belittle their suffering. I will never turn My back on them, and My ears are always listening for their cries for help.

Lord, everyone should listen and understand that Your ways are perfect.

Son, tell your country to prepare to meet Me, for I am about to bring all the disasters I have announced. For your country has twisted justice. It treats My righteous people like dirt. It hates honest judges and despises people who tell the truth, then deprives the poor of justice in the courts. I hate all their pretense of religious and solemn assemblies. I will not accept their offerings, or their noisy hymns of praise! What do I want? I want your country to come back to Me, to seek justice and righteous living.

I have raised up prophets, and the people must listen to them. I have put My words in their mouths and they will tell the people everything I command them. Remember that if a prophet speaks in My name, and his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that I did not give him that message. That prophet has spoken without My authority and his words will not need to be feared.

If anyone wants to follow Me they must turn from their selfish ways. If they try to hang on to their life they will lose it. But if you give up this life of yours for My sake, you will have a great reward and life with Me. For there is only one thing worth being concerned about and that is to listen to what I say.

You must read My word daily as long as you live. That way you will learn of Me and know My instructions. Regular reading will prevent you from becoming proud and acting as if you are above others. It will also prevent you from turning away from My commands in the smallest way. It will ensure that your family will know me for many generations.

Lord, thank You for listening to my cry for help. I pray to You because I know You will answer. Someday when I awake, I will see You face to face and be satisfied. You are my strength, my rock, my fortress, and my Savior, and You have the power to save me!
