Son, I am your father, and you only need to ask Me, and I will give it to you. For I stand beside you like a great warrior, and I lavish My unfailing love on those who love Me and obey My Word. So stay on the path I have commanded you to follow, and finish the race before you; then you will have a prosperous life.

 

Since I am your LORD, you must not worship any of the gods that are in your country. You must diligently read and obey My Word, meditating on it day and night. Remember that I watch over the path of My children who seek Me. They may be tested by many troubles, and may be poor, but they will be filled with abundant joy, and overflow in rich generosity. They do everything I ask of them on their own free will.

 

Son, there will always be those who say, “Let us break free from God.” I just look at them and laugh. These people think they are so wise, so be warned, and understand that your refusal of My royal Son, means that you will be destroyed. I want the kind of sorrow that leads people away from sin and results in salvation, but worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death, and separation from Me!

 

Lord, because of Your promises, help me not to defile my body or spirit. Let it be my goal to work toward complete holiness. My desire is to know Your Word and live my life by every word that comes from Your mouth. If I say I’ll never mention Your name, or mention Your Word, I CAN’T because it burns in my heart like a fire. It’s like a fire in my bones! I am worn out trying to hold it in! I can’t do it!

Son, when you speak the words I give you – you are My spokesman. You must influence people around you, but do not let them influence you! Your qualification comes from Me, so be very bold, and never shut up My Word! You will have troubles, but trouble will not crush you. You will be perplexed, but you will always have hope. You will get knocked down, but I will help you back up. This is why you must never give up.

 

Your present troubles are small and won’t last very long, and they will produce in you a lasting glory that vastly outweighs them! So don’t become discouraged by the troubles you see now; rather, fix your gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things you see now will soon be gone, but the things you cannot see will last forever. Remember, I have been with you in everything you have done. I have watched your every step taken, and you have lacked nothing.

 

Son, Satan is the god of this world, and he has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. His followers are unable to see the glorious light of My Good News. Their hearts have become hard so they cannot understand the truth. I gave them the free will to choose their own course in life, and they have chosen to refuse My Good News. Therefore, they have no hope. When there lives are based on foolish assumptions, the only conclusions can be wicked madness!

 

Lord, when I read Your word, I devour it. Your Word is my joy and my hope. Your Word is my strength and my refuge in the day of trouble! When Your Word rules my life – I am free!

Unity is Strength!

 

Once there was a Bedouin sheikh who had ten sons.  They were always quarreling and thus making the family very vulnerable to attack by enemies.  The sheikh called together his ten sons and held up a bundle of sticks saying, “This is a test of strength.  Which one of you can snap this bundle in two.”  One by one the brothers came forward and tried, but not one of them could break the bundle, however he tried.

 

“Untie the bundle!” ordered the father. Then, handing one stick to each son, he said, “Now break the sticks!”  Each son broke his stick with ease.  “You see,” said the father, “each of these sticks represents one of you, my sons.  When you are bound together in love and harmony no enemy can break you. When you are quarreling, you are easily overcome by the enemy. Strength lies in unity.”

 

So where is the unity of the church today? Satan knows the power of unity mentioned in the Bible and he has divided the church into segments that have little strength, if any at all. Matthew 18:19-20  “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, My Father in heaven will do it for you. For where two or three gather together as My followers, I am there among them.”

 

So I would like to ask the following questions of the church. 

 

1.        If we have the same Spirit and the same Lord then why can’t we agree on the direction of America?

 

2.        What stops us from agreeing?

 

3.        What is it that we can agree on according to the will of God?

 

4.        What would America be like if we did agree?

 

Son, My children must not act like people who do not know Me, because these people are without any real solutions and terrified. When people no longer seek My wisdom, they will fail completely. When people abandon My Word, they will not stand up for the truth, and things will go from bad to worse.  

 

LORD, there is no one like You! For You are great, and Your Name is full of power. You made the earth by Your power, and You preserve it by Your wisdom and word. So correct me if I have brought disunity to Your church. Please open the eyes of Your pastors and teachers that the church in America would come into agreement of Your Spirit and Word.  

Relationships – Chapter 25

Posted by & filed under Franks Blog.

Proverbs 29:11 “A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control.”

 

In dealing with anger the question that comes up is: How do we handle anger?

 

Many people today in our culture handle anger in a negative way. What I mean is that they handle it by denying it. They deny that they are angry and pretend to be at peace. Here in the Western world we live in a culture saturated with denial. I am not an alcoholic; I am not a drug addict, I am not abusive to my wife, I am not angry with you, etc., even when the evidence is completely the opposite.

 

Another way a person handles anger in a negative way is to attack something or someone else. Our culture teaches us to pass the blame. I was reading an article where an FBI agent was fired because he embezzled $2,000.00 to pay for his gambling debt. He went to court and successfully argued that his gambling problem was due to something else in his life. He was excused and had to be reinstated back into the FBI.

 

However, this is the way that many people handle anger. They attack someone else by blaming others, like their wife, children, parents, colleagues or their circumstances. We find that most people do not take the blame for their own actions.

 

Another negative way of dealing with anger is to turn in upon ourselves. This leads to self-criticism and sometimes suicide. I used to have a little talking doll in my office with the saddest and most pathetic face and when I said something it would respond through sentences that were stored up inside of the doll, like: “I am a disease. I make myself sick…” This is one way we learn to be angry with ourselves to the point of hurting ourselves or ending our life.

 

Withdrawal is another negative way to respond to anger. This is probably the way a person who has the tendency to implode responds to anger: he withdraws.

 

What we need to do with anger is to respond to it in a positive way. This means that we will attack the problem and not the person; that we will see the circumstance as an opportunity; etc. Remember that anger is sinful when it is directed towards others in order to hurt them. When anger comes up we need to see what the problem is and identify what is really making us angry or fearful.

 

Along with that we must also learn to control our anger. Proverbs gives us some good advice. Proverbs 16:32 “Better a patient man than a warrior; a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city.” Proverbs 25:28 “Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.” Patience and self-control are fruits of the Spirit and they are powerful.

 

In our relationships we must always be moving towards reconciliation. When reconciliation is done in a biblical way this is the right solution to the problem. Reconciliation comes when we see what the real problem is.Working through the problem with another person makes us slow to get angry.

 

Jay Adams said: “90% of counseling has its roots in anger. Along with the sad and the bad we should look out for the mad.”

Son, soon people will begin to ask, “Why is all this happening to us?” It is because they have forgotten Me, and My Word. When people feel it is safe to do wrong, all that is wrong for people to do – fills the land. When people refuse to listen to Me, they become good for nothing. My children are treated as though they were wicked, and wicked people are treated as though they were good. This is so meaningless to think like this.

 

Now let Me tell you why I am holding back the needed rain in California. You’ve heard it said, “As California goes – so goes the nation of America.” Therefore America, pay attention to what is happening and going to happen in California because the leaders have turned away from Me and My Word; they do not see the need to restrain themselves from all sexual sins. Therefore, I will remember all their wickedness and will punish them for their sins. I will judge them with continual disturbances, drought and disease.

 

People need to accept the way I do things, for the only certainty in this life is in what I say. When the false prophets, pastors, and teachers tell the people, “All is well. We will overcome conflict, water shortage and disease. We know how to resolve these issues.” They are lying! I did not give them this message, nor did I send them or tell them to speak this way to the people. They are fools that only no how to speak of foolishness that is made up in their own lying hearts.

 

Lord, can Your children avoid what is going to happen? If so, how?

 

Son, I am merciful and forgiving I am the source of all peace and comfort. I will comfort My faithful children in all their troubles. So when My children are troubled, and crushed beyond their ability to endure, I will be there to help them live through it – if they will stop relying on themselves and learn to rely only on Me. I placed the Holy Spirit in their hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything I have promised.

 

The lives of My children are a like fragrance rising up to Me. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are saved and those who are perishing. To those who are perishing, My children are a dreadful smell of death and doom to them.

 

Lord, only You can give me hope; so I will look to You and wait for You to fulfill Your Word to me.

Same-Sex Marriage Rights

Posted by & filed under Carols Blog.

These 5 justices are now on God’s hit list because of their voting to support same-sex marriage rights. Pray and watch what happens to them now, especially the one justice (swing vote) that was obviously ‘bought’ or ‘threatened’ so that he voted along with the wicked.  

 

Just because same-sex marriage rights have now become the law for all states, doesn’t mean that we have to shut up and play dead. Our calling and gifts are irrevocable!

 

This is going to cost Christian parents more, and in many ways. I wonder how many will see it this way, and make the necessary adjustments and sacrifices it will take to “train up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord?”  

 

What really grieves Mike and I is to see so many Christian (?) young adults agreeing with same-sex marriage rights, going along with winds of teaching of various kinds because they do not know the truth or the will of God as they should.

 

What good are we to God if we cower down? What else can our God do if His Church won’t agree with Him about sin and rebellion, or if we ARE convinced/convicted, but don’t know how to fight, or know what to fight for? What are we afraid of? Persecution? Loss of the things we have? Death? Are we afraid that if we step out with real faith in God, that He will let us down? 

 

I see three different types of Christians (in America) today: one that believes it’s God’s will that we take America back from unbelievers before America gets any worse; one that believes America is too far gone and that God’s people need to prepare for persecution both physically and spiritually; one that believes the best about our government and trusts in the leadership.

 

What type are you, or are you all of the above?

 

Dr. Dobson states about the new law:

 

I grieve most for what it will do to our children, our grandchildren and future generations. They will be taught that right is wrong and wrong is right, and that the teachings of Scripture are unreliable and inaccurate. How outrageous it is that boys and girls barely out of babyhood are already being introduced in some schools to perverse adult behavior.

 

Soon, public school textbooks throughout the country will be re-written and re-illustrated to conform to today’s ruling. It matters not that these revisions will contradict the beliefs and convictions of their parents. It will soon become the law of the land.

 

Many more vulnerable kids will grow up in homes with same-sex parents, obviously lacking either masculine or feminine role models. They are the real victims of the Court’s ruling.
Adults will suffer, too. I believe a barrage of court cases has already been planned against those who hold to politically incorrect views of marriage. Many of us will be dragged into court to be prosecuted or subjected to civil judgments. Some will lose their jobs, while others forfeit their businesses. Some will be persecuted and ridiculed and fined. Some may go to prison as the years unfold. Since same-sex marriage has now been determined to be a universal human right by the highest court in the land, it will trump religious liberty, churches, seminaries, Christian schools, businesses and a host of individual liberties. I also fear that judgment will befall this once great nation.

Here’s another report by WND:

 

“We the undersigned have joined together to present our unified message and plea to the justices of the United States Supreme Court regarding the matter of marriage.

 

“We are Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox Christian pastors, clergy, lay leaders and Jewish leaders, who collectively represent millions of people in our specific churches, parishes, denominations, synagogues and media ministry outreaches.”

 

They described anything other than biblical marriage as “an unjust law, as Martin Luther King Jr. described such laws in his letter from the Birmingham jail.”

 

They said they will choose the Bible.

 

“On this choice, we must pledge obedience to our Creator. While there are many things we can endure, any attempt to redefine marriage is a line we cannot and will not cross.”

 

They refer to DefendMarriage.org, where tens of thousands of Americans already have signed a related pledge.

 

The signers include: Matt C. Abbott of Renew America, Kirby Anderson of Point of View Talk Radio, Archbishop Foley Beach of the Anglican Church in North America, David and Jason Benham, Pastor Paul Blair of Fairview Baptist Church in Edmond, Oklahoma, Dean Broyles of the National Center for Law and Policy, Kevin Burke of Priests for Life, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, David Crow of Restore America, Steve Deace of USA Radio Network, former Rep. Tom DeLay, Elaine Donnelly of Center for Military Readiness, Deacon Keith Fournier of Catholic Online, Pastor Jim Garlow of Pastors Rapid Response Team, Pastor John Hagee of Cornerstone Church, Fr. Mousa Hadaa of St. Mary Antiochian Orthodox Church, Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel, Bishop E.W. Jackson, Bishop Harry Jackson Jr., Penny Nance of Concerned Women for America and Pastor Rick Scarborough of Vision America The “Marriage Pledge” being signed by Americans states: “We will view any decision by the Supreme Court or any court the same way history views the Dred Scott and Buck v. Bell decisions. Our highest respect for the rule of law requires that we not respect an unjust law that directly conflicts with higher law. A decision purporting to redefine marriage flies in the face of the Constitution and is contrary to the natural created order.”

 

It continues: “Experience and history have shown us that if the government redefines marriage to grant a legal equivalency to same-sex couples that same government will then enforce such an action with the police power of the state. This will bring about an inevitable collision with religious freedom and conscience rights. The precedent established will leave no room for any limitation on what can constitute such a redefined notion of marriage or human sexuality. We cannot and will not allow this to occur on our watch.”

What if our generation is the generation that sees the return of the Lord with His millennial reign on earth? What did Jesus say to watch for? Why are we to watch for these things taking place on the earth?  What did He tell us to be doing until He comes? Every Christian, man, woman and child of age – is to know the answers to these questions, unto obedience.

 

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us. Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every authority instituted among me: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by Him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.” 1 Peter 2:9-17

 

Some things come out to me here:

 

We, the Church of Jesus Christ, are a holy nation belonging to God and under His Higher Law; a nation without boundaries, divisions and corruption, abstaining from sinful desires, unlike any nation of the earth.  We do not submit to laws that oppose God’s laws of nature and societal order. Jesus told us that we should have no other debts to pay, but that of love, an outstanding debt.  

 

We are not fighting for America, but rather for Christ’s Kingdom, and as Jesus Himself claimed: it is strong and forceful men that will advance His kingdom. (Matthew 12:10)  We better not get this confused. If we fight and sacrifice for anything, let it be for the Kingdom of God. Every nation has the same offer from God; that if they humble themselves before Christ, and obey His Word in righteousness and justice – God will exalt them as a nation.  We are not to fight for an unholy cause, but for the message of God reconciling man to Himself through Jesus Christ – to go forth into every nation until every group of peoples has had the same opportunity to hear the truth and receive the free impartial gift of God.  What good is it to go fight for another nation that rejects the living God?  We fight in the biblical way – for the individual, group or tribe that God puts in our heart to pray for, give to, speak to and sacrifice for, especially our own children, first and foremost.

 

In America, most states have submitted to this new law, but Alabama (for one) has made a stand against it in support of the true definition of marriage and family, God’s definition.  We need to first agree with the Bible, God’s Word to us, and then pray for those in authority: “that the disobedient would turn to the wisdom of the righteous.” (Luke 1:18)  And, so that “they turn” we must NOT shut up and play dead. We must prove who has the true wisdom by the way we live and conduct ourselves, by the way we work together and trust in the Word of God. “Wisdom is proved by her actions and children.”

 

The Kingdom of God comes into us when we first trust in the love and work of Jesus Christ on the cross, and is why Peter urges us to abstain from sinful desires, which WAR AGAINST OUR SOULS. This is where our battle is mostly, day to day; one that we do not have to lose – given what we have been invested with from our heavenly Father. Because we belong to Christ, all things belong to us! Greater is He who is within us, than he that is in the world. Our bodies became the temple of the Holy Spirit when we first trusted in the salvation of Jesus Christ; unto godliness, guaranteeing (by the deposit of His Spirit in us) that which is ‘to come.’ Every promise of God is “YES” to us, and we are the “AMEN!”  Sealed of God by the blood and word of His own Son.

 

The Lord taught Abraham, and Jesus taught His apostles, to live as aliens and strangers in this wicked world; not to get comfortable here, enslaved here, dependent here. That message still rings true in our day. For Christ will return with His new world order; the order we are to be living in right now, personally and collectively as His free-moving body.

 

That which is of the world, is not our longing or our fight; we are not required to sacrifice a thing for this wicked world; not to surrender one thing of God’s to the world, or to the nation we live in that has turned their back on the One we love and will die for if necessary.  Jesus said, “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, but give to God what belongs to God.” Do we know the difference?!

 

Peter also states that God’s will is for us to do good, to live godly lives before the pagan world (of all nations), that in so doing they will see our good deeds (acts of righteousness) and glorify God on the day He visits.  What are these “good deeds,” or “acts of righteousness,” which New Jerusalem (Christ’s Bride) wears on that future Day?  The Bible tells us what they are. Jesus did them all, the first church did them all with His Spirit, and we can do them all like-wise.

 

We are not of this world, not as it is that is; for we will return with our King for God’s one thousand years of the earth and world’s make-over. (Rev. 19) He will give us the nations, if we have asked for a nation.  Every nation will honor the Lord when He reigns from Jerusalem’s throne; for He will strike down the nations with His Sword: the word of His mouth.  (Rev. 19)  For now we pray, make the necessary ‘personal’ adjustments and sacrifices to bring the light of Christ’s Gospel to those God sees waiting for the right to become His children, in any nation.

 

The Day is coming when we will work with the Lord to make all things new that God first called “good.” But as long as we are in this dying world, we have a responsibility to shine with the “light of Christ,” and as the “salt” that people get to “taste” the goodness of the Lord through. We are His wonderful fragrance to those being saved, but to those that are perishing (refusing to trust in Him), we are the stench of death – a continual reminder of what awaits their rebellion in the end.   

 

What does all this have to do with our nation’s new law supporting same-sex marriage? We need to be wise, with godly wisdom in picking our fights, wise with the plans and goals we make, wise with the words we speak, wise with the actions we take. Jesus called it: shrewd and gentle, as He displayed in His time on the earth. This day calls for wisdom; something the American church, for the most part, lacks.

 

Remember this, if we do the right thing (by God’s approval) the Lord will protect and provide for us; all His promises are YES to those who will live by faith, and not by fear or pride.

When man thinks his knowledge is greater than the knowledge of God, he becomes a fool!

 

Son, I am ready to help America, but no one is asking for My help; no one is even looking for Me. I shout to your leaders, “Here I am, here I am!” but they do not call on Me. All day long I open My arms to them, but they follow their own evil paths, and insult Me.

 

They have become a stench in My nostrils that never goes away. For I can see what they are doing, and I know what they are thinking; it’s all nonsense. Because these people don’t know Me they will never understand the truth. To them truth sounds like foolishness.

 

My children should understand these things, for they have My Word and My Spirit. When they commit themselves to My Word, listening carefully to My words of knowledge, they will become wise and know the right course and actions to take. When My children grow in My truth they  won’t part with it for the world’s acceptance of them. They have good judgment because they are wise and disciplined with My Word. Their homes are filled with love, joy and peace because My truth nourishes their souls. They are convinced that they have a bright future with Me.

 

People who refuse My words of wisdom, are impatient and angry people. The message of the Cross of Redemption is foolishness to them because they stubbornly resist Me time after time when I come to them.  They will have no good future; for I will send them great trouble of all the things they fear. When they call, I will not answer because they deliberately sin before My eyes and choose to do what they know I despise.

 

Son, I still have true servants in America that search for Me daily to grow in My truth and wisdom. Their hard work will not be in vain, and their children will not be doomed to misfortune; for they are the people blessed by Me! I will answer them before they even call to Me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will answer their prayers! I will bless those who have humble hearts, who tremble at My warnings and obey My instructions. I choose those who trust in My Word and rely on the power of My Holy Spirit – to shame those who think they are powerful and greater then Me.

 

Lord, open my eyes to Your truth. Help Me to seek Your guidance in everything I do and not become proud.

Son, what do you get for all your hard work? Understand that there is nothing better in life than to find satisfaction in your work, when you do – this also pleases Me. I will give you wisdom, knowledge and joy in these last days.

 

I do this for all My children, but some of My children have made bad choices and so their lives have become wearisome beyond description. No matter how much they see, they are not satisfied, or content. They have been fooled by those who promise them a great life if they follow them. These teachers say that I will be merciful, but these teachers do not tell My children the complete truth. I will be merciful if they repent and turn from their evil thoughts and deeds; when they start treating each other with justice; when they stop exploiting orphans, and widows; when they stop murdering unborn children; when they stop worshiping the things of this world.

 

Some of My children will not listen to reason or even try to hear Me. They have become stubborn and sinful. Do they really think they can worship what the world worships; to cheat and steal, lie, commit adultery and murder, and then come stand before Me without any shame, as they do?  They actually believe they are safe from all the things that are coming upon the wicked; as they don’t see their own wickedness. If they will repent and begin to obey Me, I will be their God, and they will be My children. If they do everything as I say, all will be well. But, My children must start listening to Me; for if they keep doing whatever they want, following the stubborn desires of their evil hearts, they will go backward into what they were before they first came to Me, but worse, because they have known better.  I plan for My children to go forward, not backward, but each one of them must decide to go with Me. They need to remember what happened in the past generations when My children rebelled against Me and My Word.

 

Son, My grief is beyond healing, and I hurt for My rebellious children. I am overcome with grief with what I have to tell you about their future. I do not expect them to listen. But shout out My warnings anyway, even if the do not respond. These children of Mine who will not obey Me and who refuse to be taught the truth of My Word, I will allow them to go down this self-destructive path! Listen to their conversations and you will not hear a word of truth. Is anyone sorry for doing wrong? Does anyone say, “What a terrible thing I have done!” No! All are running down the path of sin. They claim to be wise with their knowledge of My Word, but their knowledge of My Word has been twisted with lies. These lies give assurances of peace, but no peace will come. They hope for a time of healing, but will find only terror.

 

Lord, I do not want to tell this to people, but I am compelled by You to do so. I have no choice, for You have given me this sacred trust.

 

Son, everything is written down in My Word to warn and instruct people who live at the end of the age. These things were written as a warning to show them that the temptations in their life is no different from what others experienced. Just like their forefathers I was faithful to them to lead them and protect them, and so I will be for them today.  I will not allow any temptation to be more than they can stand, but I will always show them a way out so that they can endure. But they must repent, choose to listen to Me and obey My Word!

Son, every word of Mine will come true, so do not add to My words, but say everything I tell you.

 

America is at a crossroad! They can choose My way, and find rest for their souls. Elect new leaders who will guide them in truth and honesty; leaders that will speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, ensure justice, and help the poor, defend the helpless. Remember, when leaders seek My counsel – the people rejoice!

 

The leaders in America today will not pay attention to My warnings, because they have rejected My Word. These leaders spout out evil like a fountain. Their ears are closed, and they cannot hear Me. They have only scorn for those who speak out My Word! They refuse to listen to My prophets, and they offer superficial treatments for the people’s wound. They give assurances of peace when there is no peace for them.

 

I posted watchmen over America who said, “Look at our streets, they echo with the sounds of violence. Our leaders are pure in their own eyes, but they are filthy liars. They refused to be corrected, and are determined to go their own way. Because these leaders have rejected God the next generation has turned from Me.”

 

When the wicked are in power, sin flourishes, and people will not accept divine guidance. My children will be despised. Should I not punish America for this? Should I not avenge Myself against such a nation? They have lied about Me when they said, “I won’t bother them! No disasters will come upon us. There will be no wars, droughts, disease or famine because of our choices!”  Have you no respect for Me? Why don’t you tremble before Me as you should with what you see happening in your land? Your wickedness has deprived you of My wonderful blessings, and robbed you of all these good things I had for you. Worse yet, some of My children like it that way! But what will you do when the end comes?

 

Son, I paid a high price for you, so don’t be enslaved by the world again. The time that remains is very short, so use the things of the world, but do not become attached to them. Understand this, knowledge makes you feel important, but it is My love and truth that strengthens My church.

 

I have given you a capable wife that is worth more than rubies. You can trust her, and she will greatly enrich your life. She gets up before dawn and prays for you. She is energetic and strong, a hard worker. She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear at the future. When she speaks, her words are wise, and she will give you instructions with kindness. I will reward her for all she has done.

Son, someday My children will judge the world, and since they are going to judge the world, why are they being deceived by the things going on?

 

Some of My children are happy with their sexual sins. They must understand that their bodies were made for Me, and I not only care about their bodies, but their bodies are to house My Spirit. Don’t they understand how sexual sin affects them and My whole Church Body? Sexual sin is a sin against your own body, and your body is the temple of My Holy Spirit, which lives in you. Therefore, run from sexual sin, for you do not belong to yourself; I bought you with a high price, and you must honor Me with your body.

 

Son, since My children in America have become tolerant about sexual sins, the land has become polluted with wickedness. That is why the land has earthquakes, floods, droughts, and tornados throughout the land. Some of the leaders of America pretend to be sorry about forgetting Me; but they now must watch as everything their forefathers worked for will be squandered on a delusion. These leaders are clever enough at doing wrong, but they have no idea how to do right!

 

When there is moral rot within a nation it topples easily. When people reject the truth they will be praised by the wicked. Those who lead My children along an evil path will fall to their destruction. Remember that when the godly are in control, everyone is glad. When the wicked are in charge, people go into hiding, and will meet disaster.

 

So be wise and understand that wise leaders who know Me – bring stability. Therefore, surrender your pride and change your hearts, or my anger will burn like an unquenchable fire on all your sins. Your own actions have brought this upon you. This punishment is bitter, piercing you to the heart! Waves of destruction are about to roll over the land and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. 

 

Son, understand that the heart reflects the real person, so listen closely and you will know the real person. Tell My children what is about to happen and to take precautions. Those who refuse to listen will suffer the consequences. Understand this that if your leaders wanted to, they could return to Me and acknowledge their guilt. They must plow up the hard ground of their hearts! Admit that they rebelled against Me and confess that they refused to listen to My voice. Then I will give your leaders My own heart and guide them with knowledge and wisdom.
