Let Not Your Hearts Faint

 Let Not Your Hearts Faint

                   

2022 Word is to be Released Friday, December 31, 2021. It has been placed upon my heart to call it: 2022 - The Year of the Giant (No spoiler here, but keep in mind who overcame Goliath.)

For the past week and a bit, the Lord has been placing a message upon my heart for the year 2022. It is prepared for the most part; however, I would like to go before the Lord in prayer once more, to be sure that the message is of Him, and NOT of flesh or any spirit that is NOT of Him. 

It is that important to me. The very thought of misleading people or worse, even the hint of misrepresenting the Lord in these days of incorrigible deception weighs heavy on my heart. My Lord and Saviour knows this. He is the one who creates us, and He is the one who does the good work in us. To Jesus/Yeshua be all the glory, now and forever

And even though I tell readers that I am going before the Lord, for His will and His word in this, I would still strongly urge readers to take the message to God in prayer, for yourself. He keeps His promises to all who obey His Word and His will. He exhorts us to try 'every' spirit to see if it is of Him. 

We do that by going to the Word of God, as well as seeking Jesus (Yeshua) in prayer. He is faithful. He does not stray from His Word, nor go against His character. He is consistent, and all that He does is done decently and in order. Discern by His precious and Holy Spirit, and give thanks for His agape love and leading in these dark days. Bless the Lord; He is exalted above ALL!

And Samuel said, Has God (Adonai) as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice and to hearken (listen) better than the fat of rams. [1Sam 15:22]

Notice it is verse TWENTY-TWO (22) as in the year 2022. Interesting. The scripture was highlighted in my heart. It was not until I referred to it in the Bible that I saw the verse. I love the ways of the Lord. Faithful and wise Creator... (Emphasis in scripture is typically mine...just something I've done for a long time - personality quirk.)

We must believe and stand upon the Word of God. We cannot just 'mouth' it without faith, for without faith it is impossible to please God. [Heb 11:6]

Let Not your Hearts Faint 

For God speaks once, yea twice, yet man perceives it not. [Job 33:14]

When it comes to the Lord and His word, it is always worth repeating in the time and season He so chooses.  This word was much needed today - and the Lord still takes little and blesses many. Worthy is the Lamb, the soon-returning Warrior, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. All praise, honor and glory are His alone!

When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, and chariots, and a people more than you, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with you, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt. 

And it shall be, when you are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people, 

And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, you approach this day unto battle against your enemieslet not your hearts faintfear not, and do not trembleneither be ye terrified because of them; 

For the LORD your God is He that goes with youto fight for you against your enemiesto save you [Deu 20:1-4]

Many of My people are at the brink of despair.  They have been inundated with accusations, insinuations and misunderstandings.  Much of this has come from those close to them, loved ones - family, friends, even brethren.

To many, it is an onslaught like never before.  The trying of your faith is more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tried with fire, might be found with praise and glory and honor at the revelation of My Christ [1Pet 1:7]

For many, emotions have been on a roller coaster, as they seek to understand and to overcome.  With others, physical maladies have caused many to cry out; financial ruin lurks in the shadows for many; relationships are strained and some even severed.

'Mercy Lord, mercy', the cries come before My throne with unstoppable tears, bitter anguish and great travail.  Others are consumed with such loneliness that their hope and vision seems trampled underfoot.

Countless have cried out to 'come home', if their present situation does not come to an end soon.  'Where are you, Lord?’, they all cry out to Me (whether in word or thought), when I AM silent.

Many search their heart and grieve over their shortcomings and failures.  They keep a repentant heart, valiantly clinging to hope against hope. Though the winds blow and the rains beat upon a house, the house built upon the Rock shall not fall.  Yea, the house that I have built shall not fall.  Fear notlet not your hearts faint.

My people, Daniel spoke of the wearing down of the saints in the latter days.  Countless have begun to taste of the fury and wrath of the devil, yet the worst is yet to come.  Many mistake My judgment with My wrath.  The two are separate.

Judgment begins (and began some time ago) in My own house.  Judgment has already begun upon the nations of the world, as many have seen.  Do not mistake My judgment with My wrath; for on the day that My wrath is poured out, it shall be called the 'day of the Lord' and NONE shall question it, for it shall be known by all in the terrible day.

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and you that dwell in them.  Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time.  [Rev 12:12]

Hold fast to Me.  I AM not deaf, nor is My arm shortened that it cannot save. [Is 59:1]  Remember Peter when he was rebuked [Get thee behind Me, Satan].  Satan still speaks through unsuspecting people, including My own people at times.

Rebuke words that you know are not of Me, but pray for those who have spoken incorrectly, just as Job did.  When you are persecuted, despised, doubted, misunderstood, forsaken and mocked, remember that My Christ suffered these.

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed him notSurely He has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him strickensmitten of God, and afflicted[Is 53:3, 4]

Hold fast!  This testing of your faith seems more than you can bear, but it is necessary to strengthen you for that which is coming.  Wait upon Me and be of good courage, for I shall strengthen your heart.

All that is written - do.  Obey My commandments.  Seek first My kingdom and My righteousness and I shall look after all that concerns you.  I know you weary from the battle, yet I AM the Lord of the battle.

Job, Elijah and Jonah are only three who wearied and sought to 'come home', for that which they were going through brought them also to the brink of despair.  David cried out as he fasted and hid, when those he loved and honored sought to kill him.

He too felt that the heavens were as brass, when he did not understand My silence.  Many of My people have fainted in spirit, yet I strengthened them to endure to the end, as they cried out to Me.
 

                

There was war in the heavenlies between Satan and his princes against Gabriel and Michael [Rev 12:7, 8] , over the answer to Daniel's prayer.  Satan contended with Michael over Moses' body.  It is a war that has not yet ended.  He continues to come against Me by seeking to steal, kill and destroy My people. [Jn 10:10]

Hold fast, My people! Remember My Sovereignty and remember the victory of My Son with the shedding of His blood upon the cross and His resurrection!  Remember the time you are in, the end of this age, for indeed these are the latter days.

Lean not to your own understanding, for it will fail you.  Acknowledge Me in all your ways and I shall guide you.  Be patient, for My timing is not your timing.  When you have done all, stand.  Stand in faith!  Stand in trust! 

Choose carefully.  Do not give up or fall away.  Let not your hearts faint; fear not! Know that the victory is soon at hand or the battle would not be so fierce.  Gird your loins and offer up praise and thanksgiving, for soon you shall witness victory!

    But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed  [2Cor 4:7-9]

     Let not your hearts faint, nor be dismayed.  I have not forsaken you.  Trust in My Sovereignty and My power.  Wait upon Me.

    For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.  [2Cor4:16, 18]

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; [2Cor 4:13]

For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. [1Jn 5:4]

I love you and for this reason, My Word came in the flesh - My Son Jesus came into this world to die for you and for all who would believe and receive Him and forgiveness for sins through Him, for the blood He shed upon that wretched cross.

And He bearing His cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha. And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.  [Jn 19:17, 19]

He arose from the dead, ascended into heaven and is soon returning.  All this trouble is not without purpose; all were forewarned by My Son.  These times were prophesied by Him.

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws nigh.  [Lk 21:28]

Be strong for the Lord and lift up your head; keep looking up – watch and pray. Let your hope remain in Him who is Faithful and True.

Trust Me with Your Life

 REPOST: Just as pertinent today December 2021 as it was in May 2013

Trust Me with Your Life

May 15, 2013 - [o5.15.2013] 

A note  has been added 2021-22.


This is a long message. I have tried to divide it up with subtitles, so that those who prefer to take in a portion at a time can use the subtitles as a marker, so to speak. This came after prayer, early this morning. Even I had to read it more than once. What He says is meat to be chewed slowly.

(NOTE*(Added here [2021]

Firstly, the opening paragraph is from the ORIGINAL post. This did not come from prayer "this" [Dec. 21.2021] morning, but prayer the morning of the original post back in 2013. It seemed necessary to clarify that.

Also, what I say next may sound heavy-handed, but I never 'studied' political correctness. I speak it forth because of what has happened more than just a few times over the past 16-17 years, since I began writing and sending out my work in 2004, beginning with mail-in groups. 

IF a person does choose to plagiarize other people, whether one, two, or many, they prove in the long run that they do not trust the Lord or know Him. The Lord spoke through Jeremiah about His displeasure at such thievery. 

The Lord knows all things and has dealt with such shenanigans before. See Jeremiah the prophets words below. Now, to be fair and frank, as I was learning the ropes (or unravelling the 'net') on this worldwide platform, I made mistakes myself, but not in 'stealing words'. If one goes through articles, I state where I heard a sermon and give a link.

Times I was moved by what someone wrote, I would put it in an article and give the link(s), if anyone was interested in reading more of their work. It is woven here and there throughout the archives. 

There were times I did not post a source or give credit where credit was due when it came to MSM (mainstream media) sites, or if I used pictures from news sites or grabbed screenshots.

But I have learned to post links even if it is from news sites (for a time I did not know how). Never did I take from a website and say, "Thus says the Lord".

Now, I learned quicker and do my very best to give sources and to give proper credit to a writer or messenger, if the information is available. With pictures, the source is not always available. We all make mistakes, and yes, I have made my share.

But sadly, there are those who go about surfing around, picking up treasures that belong to others along the way, and claiming ownership. As is stated in Ecclesiastes (paraphrased) 'what else is new under the sun - nothing?' 

This has been occurring since long before any of us were born. We all will give an account one day, all of us. We do our best to overcome and not repeat mistakes. We are all learning and growing, but God has addressed plagiarism in the past. He really is the best teacher, and righteous judge. Bless His name; He is exalted on high! - BP)

Therefore, behold, I AM against the prophets, says the Lord, that steal My words every one from his neighbour. Behold, I AM against the prophets, says the Lord, that use their tongues and say, He said.[Jer23:30, 31]

(It is always my practice, and one we all should do, to read the entire chapter in the Holy Scriptures, or at least enough verses before and after ones stated, in order to keep God's word in its proper context and in the Lord's perspective. Adonai reveals Himself and His view in and through His Word [both in logos and rhema])

[End note BP2021]

                      -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

(NOTE* added: 2022)

I have no problem with people sharing the word...I am merely the messenger. It matters not to me if the website is given or not... 

WAIT! That is what I had first said when I originally posted this.

But, in thinking about it more, it does matter! Sure, the above sounds noble enough, but do I mean it? I thought I did, but that may not be sincere. What I had put next is true, and I stand by it. I had said:

It is to the glory of God (Yhvh) alone...and long ago I learned not to 'touch' His glory. 

That is true! The whole purpose behind posting online was to share what the Lord had impressed upon my heart...sharing articles like: "Repent, Be Holy, A Warning"; and "The Watchman Repented"; and "A Call to Repentance", "The God of Glory Thunders", all of which were posted on random sites in 2004-2006. The last one was posted on B.I.N. (Before It’s News), which is a site that has been around for long before someone told me about them in 2004.

But the plain fact is that I view this as my ministry, my way of reaching souls for Jesus since 2008. Sadly, five years of work was removed - from May 2008 to end of 2012, leaving only one article in 2012 - having placed hundreds of articles on a hard drive to move to another website, but the funding fell through. Meanwhile, ransomware had been clinging somewhere in those articles, and despite paying for recovery, a great number were lost. That was 10 years ago.

My heart is that the Lord ALONE receives all glory first and foremost. That has been my desire before I began this site, and posted on other sites. Now, any one of us can work for God's glory through Jesus (as believers we know that faith has works, but works do not save us (or we should know that) - but, that is another story, another time)

...and secondarily, my heart is that His people and all who take the time to read it will be strengthened and ministered to by the Creator, our King and Lord. I have stated that throughout this website. A word that encourages, edifies, exhorts, however the Lord leads because that is HIS heart - He IS TRUTH. Bless the Lord; worthy of all praise, glory and honor.  

So, a mention of this website to uplift the name of Jesus would be good (when we put our heart and soul into something, we do not want it trampled on, do we?) It is what I have done for almost (not quite) two decades now, as my love for [1] the Lord [2] the people (as we are commanded of God)

When I share things to try and help others avoid making the same mistakes I made, and not waste precious years that could be spent walking close to a magnificent Creator, King and LORD, they are nuggets that come from hard life lessons at a great cost... the cost that worked up to the full and irrevocable surrender to Jesus. It was all the Lord's doing; He broke me, and drew me with a spirit of repentance...and I will be eternally grateful

As often stated, it is His love, His grace and His mercy that wins us. We love Him because He first loved us. All that is on this site is a labour of love, to the glory of God. Freely I received, freely I give - there is no need to 'steal'. If you do, it is not the fruit of love, nor is it trusting God. Just stating facts...

May God help us all, in ways we all (individually) need. [End note-BP2022]

Trust Me with Your Life 


Do not give up; neither be afraid. You know that your faith must increase so that you may endure to the end. Yea, you have prayed for increased strength and faith.  

You have pressed in, bringing all things to Me, keeping Me as your constant companion. You dig into My word, knowing that faith comes by hearing and hearing by My Word (the word of God). I AM that I AM.

The circumstances around you are very real, impossible to ignore - raging waters, waves beating upon themselves in chaotic motion, blasting winds that show no mercy.

Shall you be as Peter who began in faith, only to allow his eyes to acknowledge his circumstances, thereby defied and even nullifying his very faith? At first, Peter's faith was as that of a little child.  

He stepped out of the boat in faith. Yet, his mind acknowledged the impossibility of walking upon the water and his mind declared the foolishness of his actions. 

Doubt stemmed into fear and the fruit of it blossomed into unbelief. A fiery dart of doubt pierced the mind of Peter. He took his eyes off of Me and looked around at the physical realm, heard the raging wind and saw it push violently against the waters; the reality of the circumstances were all around him. "Lord, save me", Peter cried out.

In that moment of doubt, he began to sink - yes, the proverbial (and in Peter's case - the actual) "sinking feeling".  As he cried out to Me in desperation (Lord, save me), swallowed up by fear and unbelief, I took a firm hold of him and placed him back into secure surroundings, out of the waters of the deep and the unknown.


Knowing that doubt mushrooms into fear and unbelief, I reproved Peter.  "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"  [Mat 14:31] Do not doubt Me. 

Shall you be as Job who came to understand that all his good ways and good works availed nothing; that even his righteousness was as filthy rags? He came to realize that he too needed to be saved, so he repented and sought forgiveness from his holy and righteous God.

The Lord of the Battle



True Messiah will have a sword...not a 'bow'. [Rev 19:15]

You must decide and choose wisely - to not be overwhelmed by the raging and the chaos all around you. Keep your eyes upon Me, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of Me. [see 2Cor 10:5]

Bring doubt into captivity, for doubt is the seed from which fear shoots forth and its fruit is unbelief. I continue to remind you, for all My people have need of reminding.

Keep a repentant heart and stay humble before your Creator. For by Me, you shall scale a wall and run through a troop. My angels go forth at My command. Have I not equipped you with armor? Have I not taught your hands to war and your fingers to fight?

Have I not taught you that the weapons of your warfare are not carnal, but mighty through Me to the pulling down of strongholds?  [2 Cor 10:4]

Have I not exhorted you saying that you wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world and against spiritual wickedness in high places? [Eph 6:12] 

Do you not believe or know that I AM the Lord of the battle? Will you place your life in My hands and trust Me with the outcome? No flesh desires to die, yet it is appointed unto man once to die and then the judgment. [Heb 9:27]

Death is appointed unto all, for the wages of sin is death. Yea, but I have overcome the world and hold the keys of hell and death. Not even Satan himself can take you out before the time that I have appointed. 

Why fear death? There are those who are Mine that are appointed to witness My return. Those who are Mine that are not appointed to witness My return in the flesh shall be with Me. Fear not! Set your mind on the things which are above and death shall have no dominion over you.

Great is My Love


Whether you live or whether you die, will you still praise Me? All My thoughts are not known by man, nor is full understanding within his grasp, for My wisdom is beyond man's comprehension; My thoughts and ways are far higher than those of mankind.

Does an ant comprehend the thoughts and ways of a man? Does an ant know the hour of its destruction? Yet, an ant is part of My creation. Lo, remember that man was formed in My image, unlike any other creation.

Come closer - deepen your intimacy with Me, for vast and deep I AM. Trust Me as an infant trusts its parent, for I AM your Creator. Great is My love for you. Those who are Mine know that this world is not their home. They are foreigners, aliens here upon the earth.

The spiritual realm is more real than the physical realm, yet even that is hard for many to grasp. The physical realm is ever-changing, yet now the evil that has manifested in this world is ever-increasing. Chaos and corruption, deception and hatred increase.

Deception and Strong Delusion  

strong delusion - 2 Thess 2:9-11

Those who create the chaos plan to bring order, to rule as they so choose, to diminish the population and to destroy all that stands in their way.  They pretend to protect, but the intent is evil, the agenda very real.  

There are those who honor the leading rebellious fallen angel, who has convinced his worshippers that he is god. He cares not whether you call him Satan or Lucifer, or the name of any other false god.

He cares only to carry out his own plan in which he rules as god. Great is his wrath; he knows no justice or mercy. As it is written, for a season, he shall have his way and death shall go forth at his command, but he cannot rule Me or stay My hand from protecting My own.

Apostasy increases daily, and the falling away from Me will astound and delight the masses. Deception and a strong delusion will overtake those who do not truly seek truth and one by one, multitudes will turn from Me, desiring and honoring their temporal lives more than desiring and honoring Me or the eternal.

The majority will not even realize that they are believing a strong delusion. They will call evil good and good evil. They will believe the falsehoods that please them and reject truth, even hating the bringers of truth.

Persecution escalates daily. Countries which have not known persecution are beginning to see and hear it - it shall increase steadily and powerfully. Many are and shall be martyred. Their blood shall cry out for justice. Thus it is written; thus it is true.

Be at Peace 


Look not around you in fear. Come to grips with the fact that this world is not your home. You shall overcome the evil one by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony; [you must] love not your life unto death. My people are protected right up to and including their appointed hour.

Even he who penned My words for mankind, such as Psalm 91, eventually succumbed to death, yet with his life, he knew to trust Me. He was protected as he continued in My will, right up to his appointed hour. He came to understand, accept and be at peace with the fact that this world was his temporal home.

Walk not in fear and unbelief - walk by faith and not by sight. Walk boldly (strong) and confident (assured) that I hold you and your life in the palm of My hand. My holy angels guard over you and all that concerns you.

Trust your life to Me, fully confident that I care for My creation. I care for you. Be at peace with not having all the answers, knowing that I AM Sovereign (fully in control).

This world will not accept My people any more than it accepted Me. You will be hated, just as I was hated. The bringers of truth will be despised and called evil, possessed, a terrorist, one to be dealt harshly with. You need not fear. I know the end from the beginning for I AM the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.

I order your steps. When the enemy comes against you like a flood [My very Spirit] shall lift up a standard against him. So shall they fear My name from the west and My glory from the rising of the sun[Is 59:19]

As I lead you and you obey My leading, you will walk unafraid. You will have the peace that passes all understanding (a peace that the world does not give) and through Me shall your hearts and minds be kept by My peace. 

The Clash of the Kingdoms


I choose to work in and through My creation. My chosen vessels of honor will complete the tasks they are given individually. None shall take them out before their time. Multitudes shall live to see My return. Be at peace.

Trust Me. Great blessings and miracles are coming, as surely as horror and great destruction are. It is truly the clash of the kingdoms. Fear not. My angels surround you, as surely as they did Elijah, even when his fearful servant could not see them. They were revealed to the servant at Elijah's request. Keep in mind that even Elijah had an appointed hour to leave this world (earth).

Fear not. Those who are Mine know and understand. My word shall go forth and not return void. It shall accomplish that which I please and prosper in the thing where I send it. [Is 55:11]

Greater anointing (infilling of My Spirit - lamps filled with oil) will fall upon My people. The people who know Me shall do the greater works; they shall be strong and do exploits, as it is written. [Jn 14:12; Dan 11:32]

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. [Dan 11] That which has never been seen before shall take place.

As surely as multitudes will fall away, surely shall multitudes also come into the kingdom. Be at peace. Hold fast to your faith, no matter what you see around you, for all that you see is truly the clash of the kingdoms.

Abort pride and self-righteousness. Embrace Me and cleave to Me.  Walk in trust and obedience. Do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before me. It is no mistake that you are here, for truly you were born for such a time as this.

Try Every Spirit 


Do not be swayed by the words of man (no matter how eloquent). Try every spirit to see if it is of Me. You do this by My Word, yea, but be wise, for Satan himself can appear as an angel of light. His ministers likewise can appear as ministers of righteousness.

Satan and his ministers speak My word and counterfeit My works also, with mighty signs, wonders and miracles...so it is written. Think upon Pharaoh in Egypt and the sorcerers (magicians) in the court of his palace. Therefore, you must not only try the spirit by My word, but also bring it to Me in prayer.

You must seek Me in all things. This is, in part, why the trials of your faith have been so severe. Faint not in the furnace of affliction, no matter how intense the heat or the fiery flames.

Know that I AM with you, purging the Body of Christ, readying My people to be united with Me. I have been and am preparing My people for all the wickedness that is upon them and for the great tribulation that is here, ready to increase beyond imagination. 

To have joy and peace in your heart does not mean that you walk around with a perpetual smile. True joy is in knowing that you shall be with Me in eternity and that I AM with you even now.   

True peace is in being confident that your life is in My hands and that all the plans I have for you shall be carried out, as your life is surrendered into My competent hands, dying to self. I ask only that My people be a willing vessel, empty of self and obedient in doing My will.

My will for you is perfect in every way.  I have created you for such a time as this, with plans for good and not for evil.  If I AM for you, who can be against? 

Faith versus Unbelief

I work all things out decently and in order. My timing is not your timing, for I AM not bound by time or space; neither am I limited. Those who believe I AM limited are not knowledgeable about their own doubt that has led to unbelief. Many works are not performed due to unbelief.

And they were offended in Him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.  And He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. [Mat13:57-58]

I will not work with unbelief, for it opposes faith and faith it is that pleases Me. [Heb 11:6] Some say, 'I had faith, but still my prayer was unanswered.'  

To that I say, 'How do you know that it was not answered? There are times that a prayer was not answered according to your will, but was answered according to Mine, which you disproved of. There are times that you think it is unanswered, but just as Daniel, you must wait.' Selah

I have said that My ways are not your ways, nor My thoughts your thoughts. When I was crucified, Satan laughed; evil men felt victorious and unbelievers mocked those who believed.

When I was resurrected, Satan hid for a season, evil men lied and brought forth deception, but many came to believe. Those who believed already were strengthened in their faith. Shortly after My ascension, the true believers were gathered together and were filled with My Holy Spirit.
Mankind will never know all things upon this earth; neither will mankind come to understand all things, despite their wisdom and their most valiant efforts.

A Bloody War with Many Battles – Prepare


Listen to those who I send your way. You will know those who speak on My behalf. Yet I caution you once again (and again, if necessary), try every spirit to see if it is of Me.  Bring all things to Me.

Stay closer to Me than ever before. Read My word; pray about all things.  Watch and pray. Do not enter into denial, fear or unbelief. Keep on the full armor. Cast down imaginations, especially doubt. Walk by faith, not by sight.

You are in a bloody war. The intensity of this war has not yet manifested.  It is near at hand. The battles you have witnessed and the battles which you fought and are fighting are miniscule in comparison to that which is to come.

Governments deceive their own people and many are those who believe them. There is a plan that has been employed and has been at work since the days of Nimrod and the tower of Babel. Yea, but the hatred towards mankind goes far back, even before the Garden of Eden. I have told you this before.

Fear not! This is what I have told My people from the very beginning - fear not! Freedoms are being taken; the people are becoming angry.  Soon they shall be enraged; rebellion rules the hearts of multitudes in every nation, within every tribe and clan and in every tongue. 

Sin is rampant across the world. Hatred, injustice and corruption are everywhere. People point fingers at the innocent and the innocent are murdered.     

Justice and mercy have been forsaken. Hunger and desperation shall sweep across the nations. Fear shall rule and the hearts of men shall fail them.

When facing Satan and his armies, or evil men, be as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in saying, 'whether our God delivers us or not, we will not bow to you'. Do not rise up in rebellion. Look to Me, for I shall direct your steps. Follow My leading. That is faith and trust in action - for the three Hebrew men understood that this life is temporal.  

They looked forward to spending eternity with Me (their God/Yhwh) and trusted their lives into My hands. I delivered them after I walked with them in the fiery furnace.

Their faith was tried severely. They came through ‘victorious’; their earthly king came to see that no flesh was burned, not a hair was singed, nor did any of them smell of smoke. The king bore witness and acknowledged My power and through it all, I was glorified. This is where you also must be in your faith...faith as a small child.

As the three Hebrew men, as Daniel in the lion's den, as David when he faced Goliath, so must you also come to the place of complete trust, overcoming fear and unbelief.  

I shall purge you (and have been), just as I did Job, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, Daniel, David - and even as I did Peter. All of My people are purified and tried.  Stand - Your life is in My hands. It is your choice to repent if there is need of repentance; your choice to surrender your life or not; your choice to believe and know Me; your choice to trust and obey.

Emptied Vessels Filled with My Spirit


Those who have repented, surrendered their lives, [those] who trust and obey are about to rise up mightily. They shall be vessels unto honor, indeed, doing the greater works, strong in doing exploits.

The clash of the kingdoms has begun. These are the latter days. The hour is late. Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth. Indeed, the devil has come down, having great wrath (anger, rebellion, hatred, power), for he does know that he has but a short time (an appointed season).

The signs are all around you. Prophecy is being fulfilled. Look to the skies. Do not be deceived by signs in the sky or by creatures (aliens) unknown, for Satan and his armies are masters of illusion. 

Many will succumb to strong delusion, for they do not seek truth. I AM the way, the truth and the life and no man comes to the Father but through Me. Indeed, try every spirit, every spirit, every spirit to see if it is of Me. Many false christs and false prophets have gone out into the world. Many are teaching doctrines of devils and the traditions of man.

Rejoice, knowing that My Spirit shall fill My people afresh to such a degree that even the demons will tremble. Yes, I in you and you in Me.  Emptied, clean vessels filled with My Spirit shall war against evil, and shall do mighty things. These are those who seek to glorify Me. Victory is in My hand.

I AM the Lord of the battle. You have come into the kingdom for such a time as this. I repeat this for you must come to understand the truth in it. Obey all that I ask of you (even in the small things). Endure the trials. Praise Me in tribulation. I AM with you.

Stand back! Watch how I use you as a vessel unto honor, as a mighty instrument in My competent hands. Offer up thanksgiving and praise, for truly you are in the days that were foretold by Me and by the ancient prophets.

They would marvel to see these days unfolding, watching the prophecies that they spoke come to pass. All of creation groans. Rejoice; I AM with you. Close your ears to all naysayers; close your ears to doubt, fear and unbelief; close your ears to those who condemn you for speaking truth, to those who say 'peace and safety' and 'love, love, love'.

Woe to those who are as vessels unto dishonor. For when they say 'peace and safety', sudden destruction shall come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape. [1 Thess 5:3]  Yes, you must walk in love, but do not embrace sin along with the sinner.  Even as I angrily turned over the money changers' tables, My love for mankind also rejected sin, injustice and unrighteousness.

Be a Holy People 

Be holy (set apart) as I AM holy. [Lev 11:44;1Pet 1:16] Again I say, walk by faith, not by sight[2Cor 5:7] Believe and know Me, trust and obey Me and watch what I shall accomplish through My people, yes, even through you. Touch not My glory. Humble yourself [before the Lord] and I shall lift you up. [Jam4:10]

Get it down into your heart; believe the words that I speak. Let My Word be written on the tablets of your heart; speak My WordCome to Me, yes, bring all things to Me. It is not doubt or unbelief when you bring all things to Me, to try the spirit to see if it is of Me; that is obedience to My Word.  I honor obedience.

Allow no room for pride, self-righteousness (holier-than-thou), nor any religious spirit to be found in you. Crucify the flesh, daily picking up your cross to follow Me. Keep a repentant heart and continually forgive as necessary.

Know that you know that you know - believe My Word for this hour - that truly you were born for such a time as this. Do not concern yourself with death, nor fear it.

Trust Me with the appointed time of your departure from this earth. Do not walk in fear and unbelief because of the chaos and evil around you.  It is true that all My people have feared at some point in their lives, which is why I continually say 'fear not'.

The difference between those who fear and those who live in fear is that My people overcome fear. Yes, flesh trembles at My presence but your heart must be at peace with Me.      

You should not be afraid of Me, but you should fear Me. This sounds as a paradox, yet it is written that 'the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom'. What did Moses speak to the people when they were afraid of Me?

And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove (test) you, and that His fear may be before your faces, that you sin not. [Ex20:20]  

Sin is an abomination and all the unrepentant shall be judged. Hate the sin, repent and be forgiven, for this reason, the blood of My Son was poured out. Yet shall you continue in sin that grace may abound? [Rom6:1]  Exhort one another daily, while it is called today; lest any of you are hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. [Heb 3:13]

Trust Me for I AM with You


Who knows if I have not chosen that you should witness My return, in all My glory, as it is written? Just as Peter asked about John's demise, after Peter was forewarned of how he would die, My answer remains the same.   

If I will that he should tarry (remain) until I come, what is that to you?  Follow you Me. [Jn 21:22] 

Be at peace. Do all that I require of you. Rest in your heart and mind, knowing that all is in My hands; knowing that I love you. Be not impatient (My people can be so impatient). Wait upon Me. Wait, I say, upon Me.

Be strong and of good courage. I will never leave or forsake you. Those who fall away [are those who] leave and forsake Me. I do not leave or forsake them. They love their lives more than they love truth or Me. 

Stand strong in Me, holding fast to your faith. Teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I have commanded you; and lo, I AM with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen [Mat 28:20] 

for His glory alone

He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increases strength.  [Is 40:29]

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws nigh. [Lk 21:28]
