Shall I not speak to My prophets before I do something? Word Received 28.1.2024

 Shall I not speak to My prophets before I do something? Shall I not give warning to My people before judgment comes on the Earth? Will I not tell them to hide in My safety and under My shadow until this too has passed? I have told you in My Word what will happen in the last days but many are saying the time is not now the time is not yet. But I say to you the time is now and the time has come for you to respond to My warnings and to prepare yourselves and tell others to do likewise. Once these things begin to happen there will be no time or opportunity for preparation. Like a flood that overwhelms without warning so these things will begin to occur with greater frequency and intensity. Prepare now so you can be a blessing to others. Do not put off what I have told you to do. Each one has their task and responsibility from Me so you do not need to copy what others are doing. Believe Me when I say time is short and trust Me as I lead My people into the purposes I have for them at this time.

How long, Lord?

 How long

will the people refuse to listen

to your prophets?

The ones who speak

what they hear

your Spirit saying.

The words get

lost

in the information overload

that marks the modern world

in all its flaws.

We are too busy

to wait on You,

to read Your Word,

to sit in silence,

and rest in Your presence.

We are torn

a hundred ways,

and none of them

is towards You.

You wait patiently,

and speak to each generation,

and some hear

and follow,

and are criticized for doing too much.

How can we live

if we do not pray?

How can we pray

unless we believe You hear us?

How can we be

assured of Your answer,

when we are unsure

of the question?

Help us Lord, in this time of confusion.

When will Your glory be seen?

How long, Lord? 

The Night is Coming.

 The night is coming

when no one can work.

So do it now,

not tomorrow,

or the next day.

Don't put it off

and make

a fresh excuse

for not getting

around to it.

My procrastination

is becoming

an art form,

that needs a

critic to bring

it into line.

I know what I

should be doing.

So why is it

so hard to put

pen to paper

and write

that list

of accountability

and focus.

Scattered thoughts

like rain showers,

too short to

break the growing pressure

of the storm

hovering on the 

horizon of my mind.

How long will it

take me to begin.

Ask me again

at the end of the year.

Position your hearts to hear Me. Word Received 21.1.2024

 Position your hearts to hear Me for I will not speak to those who have no interest in listening. I will speak to those who seek Me in My Word and who wait on Me. Prepare your hearts for there is so much more to come both good and bad. Your perspective will make all the difference and you need to learn to see as I see and to hear as I hear. Tune in to the frequency of My Holy Spirit and tune out of that which corrupts and defiles and wastes your precious time. Time is more precious now than it has ever been. Don't waste your days but live with Me and allow My purposes to satisfy you for nothing else will. Do not go after the next big thing or search for manifestations of My power. They will come as you walk in obedience to Me and supernatural will become natural for you. You do not have long before the night comes when no one can work. Listen to Me and I will show you what to do in these days.

The terror of the nations has begun. Word received 29.12.2023

 The terror of the nations has begun. Many do not realize it for they are consumed with their own agendas and are not spending time seeking My face and reading My Word. The world has not yet seen the full manifestation of evil but it is coming upon the Earth. Be diligent to hide yourselves in My protection and live each day with intent. Do not let your spirit soar or fail but remain on a steady course where you cannot be tricked by temptation or drowned by doubt. The end of man-made plans and ambitions has begun. There will be destruction and devastation on a scale previously unseen. There will be firsts associated with major disasters. Things that humans have not seen on this scale. The demonic is manifesting at a rate beyond what you have seen or known. Do not be terrified for My Victory is already in place and these are the death throes of the enemies schemes to destroy mankind. My purposes will prevail and human history will end at My command and not before. Recalibrate yourselves to the functioning of My Holy Spirit. Do not be jarred when I move in power but move with Me in unity and oneness of purpose in My Kingdom. Do not be afraid. Do not fear for I am with you. I will not leave you or forsake you and I will return for My Bride.

Wrestling

 I know I cannot

wrestle with You 

and win.

I cannot even prevail in an argument

about a slight difference of opinion.

Why does my heart

justify itself,

thinking it can out staunch an everlasting God?

Maybe I'm a little crazy,

but I find myself

thinking I can get away

with things that I pull others up for.

Log or speck in your eye,

totally depends on perspective,

and we generally give ourselves

the benefit of the doubt.

How can I feel justified to judge others 

in an uncaring manner,

when I would so dislike

to receive that judgment turned on me?

How can I know I have truly forgiven

the one who caused me or another such distress?

Can my heart ever tell the absolute truth?

It will one day when I stand before the Lord.

So I wrestle,

and acknowledge my humanity,

and am so thankful

that I have made Jesus,

my Savior and my Lord.
