My children, “WAKE UP! WAKE UP!” Why are you enslaved? Sin has taken advantage and deceived you as you’ve slumbered. Therefore, My name is blasphemed all day long because My children falsely hope that there would be peace and security in their land, during their own lifetime. The people of the world say to them, “Don’t let this God in whom you are trusting deceive you with His promises.”

Today is a day of trouble, insults, and disgrace for My children because they have listened to the world and have set My Word aside.

Tell them to consider the Rock from which they were cut. Am I not the same today as I was when I dried up the sea, making a path of escape so that My people could cross over? Am I not the One who will comfort them in their day of distress? Why should they be afraid of mere humans? Could it be that they have forgotten Me? How long will they remain in constant dread of human oppressors? Will they continue to fear the anger and their enemies and never speak up?

I stretched out the sky like a canopy and laid the foundations of the earth, but soon the skies will disappear like smoke, and the earth’s foundation will wear out like a piece of clothing. These people you fear will die like flies, but My salvation lasts forever. My righteous rule will never end! Therefore, do not be afraid of people’s scorn, nor fear their insults and threats.

If My children are to share in My glory, then they must also share in My suffering. Yet, what they suffer now is nothing compared to the glory I will reveal to them later. When My children follow the lead of My Spirit they will be in harmony with My will. Then they can know that I cause everything to work together for the good of those who love Me. They will rejoice and shout, “God is for us! Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ!”

Does it mean I no longer love them if they have trouble or calamity; if they are persecuted so that they go hungry and destitute; if they constantly live with threat of danger, or death? No! They must be convinced that nothing can ever separate them from My love; neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither fears today nor worries about tomorrow; not even the power of the sky above or in the earth below; not even the powers of hell can separate them from My love. I am Creator and nothing in creation can separate My children from Me.

My children, let My words be in your heart and mouth. Don’t be afraid to be passionate about your commitment to Me. I will hide you safely in my hand. Remember that when you are deeply troubled and cry out to Me, I will hear your prayer. I always bend down to listen to My children. So pray and remember that you walk in My presence as you live here on earth.

Lord, there is a war within me; a war over my mind. Because of this I don’t really understand myself, I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate, and when I yield to this power I become its slave. And yet I know that it is YOU who can free me from a life that is dominated by sin. Let Your Spirit control my mind so that sin no longer has power over me. When I read and obey Your Word, I will have the passion and confidence to stand and speak.

Son, I have been with you throughout your life; even now that your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will always care for you. Everything I plan for your life will come to pass. What I have said I would do, I will do it. I will never go back on My Word. My Word is the source of all My righteousness and strength.

Remember, a person with a changed heart seeks praise from Me, not from people.

I have heard you ask, “Why did you call me for this kind of work?” It’s what I have equipped you for. I work in mysterious ways; so you will need to listen carefully. I have been kind and patient with you preparing you for this work, so be encouraged and be patient to move and act according to My word to you.             

Son, I created the heavens and earth and I made the world to be lived in, not to be a place of chaos like you see today.  I would not have told people to seek Me if I could not be found by them. People know the truth about Me because I have made it obvious to them. But, they think up foolish ideas of what I am like, and what I require of them; therefore they do shameful and degrading things instead of those things that are honorable and worthy.

I send good times and bad times. Because people have traded the truth about Me for a lie, their lives have become full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, and malicious behavior. They have become haters of Me, insolent, proud, and boastful, and invent new ways of sinning. They know My justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them as well. So, I will judge them according to what they have done.

Lord, I know that You speak only what is true and declare only what is right and just. I know that You have cared for me since I was born. Yes, You cared for me even before I was born. Only You know what the future holds, and You tell it to those You can trust. Therefore, I will rejoice, give thanks, and praise You to everyone.

Son, have I redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell everyone that I have redeemed you! For there is no other God- there never has been, and there never will be. I have swept away your sins like a cloud. I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist. Remember that no one can snatch you out of My hand. No one can undo what I have done. I alone-will blot out your sins, and will never think of them again.

When you feel that all hope is gone – take courage and believe in Me. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you because you are precious to Me. You are honored by Me and I love you. You have been chosen to know Me, believe in Me – that I alone am God; your God. Therefore, do not be afraid; for I have proclaimed My purpose for you long ago.

When you cry, “LORD, help!” I will save you from your distress, and I will lead you. When My children understand this they will have great joy. Those who are wise will take all this to heart; they will look back and see My faithful love through it all.

Those who refuse My salvation have burdened Me with their sins. Who but a fool would make his own god- that cannot help him one bit? Such stupidity and ignorance! Their eyes are closed, and they cannot see. Their minds are shut, and they cannot think. Oh, that these people would turn to Me, for I have paid the price to set them free.

Lord, my heart is confident in You. All human help is useless. Only with Your help can I persevere and do mighty things.

Son, I heard your president and your politicians speak, now let Me tell you what I think.

They speak with such arrogance. I’d like them to show Me what they can do so that everyone may consider the evidence. Let them tell what the future holds so that everyone can know what’s going to happen. Then everyone will know they have the power they so proudly imagine!

In fact, I’d like to see them do anything-do something that could amaze Me, but they can do nothing at all; the power that they think they have is less than nothing! Those who choose them to lead are polluted by their deceitful lies.

This is what I have to say to them: “You see and know what is right but you refuse to act on it. You hear with your ears, but you don’t really listen. Your legacy will be that you robbed, plundered, enslaved, imprisoned, and trapped your people. So hear the lessons of the past and see the ruin that awaits you in the future?”

I will not give My glory to anyone, nor share My praise. Everything I prophesied has come true, and now I will prophesy again. I will tell you the future before it happens. Since America has refused to turn from their sins, and have forgotten all of My many acts of kindness to them, I will give them what they asked for!

This nation sheds innocent blood by abortion and the land has become polluted with murder. America will now be ruled by those who hate them. I am allowing this so all who see this will understand what America has done, and against whom they have sinned. For they have refused to walk on My path, and therefore I will pour out My fury on them and destroy their pride. Yet! Even as I am destroying them they will refuse to understand.

Son, tell My children that they have followed My instructions, but not with all their heart; not as one. They must all open their eyes and turn from darkness, from the power of Satan. I am their only strength and hope. Then they will be given a place in My kingdom among My holy people, who have been set apart by faith in Me; changed by the good things they do, and speaking boldly for Me. In the coming days My children will be punished in public view to get them to curse My Name; the Name Jesus Christ. They will be pressed to deny Me altogether. But they must not cave in or I can’t help them!

I, the LORD, have called My children to demonstrate My righteousness. I will take them by the hand and guard them. So don’t be afraid or discouraged, for I am with you. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with My victorious right hand. Therefore, let the whole world know what I have done. Tell everyone about My wonderful deeds. Search for Me and for My strength, and continually seek Me. Remember the wonders I have performed, all of My miracles of old. Until the time comes to fulfill My promises I am testing your character.

Son, how will you answer when the people of the world ask you these questions?

“Who are you?” And after you answer them: “What are you trusting in that makes you so confident?” “When men rise up against you to distort the truth; what are you trusting in that makes you so confident that you have the truth?” “When a creditor has come to take what you have, or when someone comes to threaten you; what makes you think that the Lord can rescue you?” 

Son,  when I ask you to give to people so they can eat. What will you trust in to make you confident in giving?

Son, in the days ahead questions will come to My children more and more. Tribulation causes this and so My children must be prepared with answers; be strong and confident in knowing that I am coming soon. You must not shrink back from telling people what they need to hear; which is the Good News about My wonderful grace! I have entrusted this message to My children only, for they understand My grace; it has built them up and will give them an inheritance with all those I have set apart for Myself.

Lord, I know that when I cry out to You for help, You always answer me. You are the forgiving God. You have disciplined me when I went astray, so that I can walk on Your Highway of Holiness. No evil-minded person can travel on it. Only the redeemed; those who walk in Your ways will walk on it. Therefore, my life is worth nothing unless I use it to finish the work You assigned to me. Help me to be able to say, “I declare today that I have been faithful. If anyone suffers eternal death, it’s not my fault.”

Son, how foolish people can be! They will never stop perverting the truth. They honor Me when they speak out loud for others to hear, but in their hearts there is no worship of Me. They try to live righteous lives in front of others, but make plans that are contrary to Mine. They tell My prophets to stop telling them that I am coming soon. “Don’t tell us what is right and true. Tell us nice things. Tell us lies. Forget all this gloom. Tell us that it is okay to get off this narrow path of Holiness. Stop telling us about the Holy One.”

Because people despise what I tell them calamity will come. It is only by returning to Me, to the truth, and then resting in Me, in My love, that they can be saved. I patiently wait for them to come to Me so that I can show them My love and compassion.

Son, when you listen for Me to speak, you will hear a voice say, “This is the way you should go!” Your quietness and confidence will be your strength, so be bold, and tell everyone about My grace. Encourage My children to continue in the faith, reminding them that they will suffer many hardships in the days ahead. I will prove that you are My messenger when the things you have written begin to happen.

So think about everything I have said to you. When doubts fill your mind, My word will be your comfort and give you renewed hope and cheer.

Son, the more you understand who I AM, the clearer you will be able to see what the future holds. You will know that I AM preparing a great banquet with wine and choice meat that no man has ever enjoyed. It will be a place where the cloud of death is removed. I will wipe away all your tears; all the tears of My children. For I AM indeed, the Son of God and you are Mine!

You know that because of My holiness I cannot lie. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of My throne, and unfailing love and truth walk before Me. Therefore, I promise to steady you, and make you strong. I will never stop loving you or fail to keep all My promises to you. I will not take back a single word I have ever said! I gave you My Holy Spirit to live in you, and He will guide you, and be your source of encouragement. He guarantees your place with Me. When you trust what My word has said, it will give you My perfect peace. When your thoughts are fixed on Me, I will make the path before you smooth.

You will know that I AM coming soon to punish the people of the earth for their sins and rebellion towards Me. The earth will no longer hide those children of Mine who were martyred. Everyone who has died in Me will live; their bodies will rise again for everyone to see!

Lord, help me to realize how quick my life on earth is over, so that I may grow even quicker in Your wisdom. Quicken Your blessed Spirit in me! Satisfy me each morning as I seek You. For when I trust You I will not fear the unknown. I will experience Your unfailing love, and with Your counsel I will understand Your plan for My life; that of telling everyone the Good News that there is peace with God through Jesus Christ. Everyone who believes in You, the Savior of the world, will have their sins forgiven. You will give them a new name; Your Name! You will give them a new heart; Your heart! They will be with You forever!
