"2017 will see many changes as the year progresses. The end of some things, the beginning of others. Not all change will be welcomed.  Many will bring hardship and death to things once held dear. You must be bold in your discernment of truth from error and strong in your commitment to Me. No longer will I tolerate half-hearted attempts at worship. Come boldly to My throne room; desire My ways instead of the ways of the world. Sheep and goats graze contently in the same pasture. Do you know the difference? Do you see with spiritual eyes or does a carnal worldly vision dictate your thoughts and actions? 

Donald Trump and Barack Obama are two very different men, but the agenda of those hiding in the shadows remains the same. Men and women ruled by satan and those that chose to follow him are at the helm of your country to bring it to destruction. 2017 will see much turbulence and upheaval in your nation. Not only America but many nations have sold their soul to the highest bidder with flowery speeches and shallow promises realizing to late they have made a deal with the devil. Good was portrayed as evil, evil protrayed as good as satan garnered a stronghold over one nation then another. Evil forces will not relinquish control without much prayer. Clothed in battle array you must pull down strongholds and take dominion over the powers of darkness.  

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds... 2 Corinthians 10:4

You have a powerful Word and a powerful God.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12

Not all who call Me LORD are My children. Not all who call you 'friend' can you trust. 

I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. Matthew 10:16

"Accountability, where is the accountability? The watchmen watch in vain if the people refuse to heed the warnings.  Donald Trump is not who you think him to be. He is not your Saviour. He is not your knight in shining armor nor is he another King. You are grasping at straws and tilting at windmills. He will not, he cannot make America great again for America is under the judgement of Almighty God. You think I AM is like you? You think The Almighty will turn a blind eye and ignore the evils of mankind? 

There is sin in the camp. Egregious error without shame, without accountability sweeps across this nation. I hold Israel My beloved in the palm of My hand. I will take care of My own and there will be a price to pay for those who have lifted a hand against My land and My chosen. 

Soon, a mighty shaking will begin. My watchmen have admonished the lost among you to repent. They have spoken to My children to oil their lamps, gird their loins and prepare for battle. Your leaders have taken this nation down a very dark and winding path. What has been done to My people will soon return in kind to this nation.

The time is now."

Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure. Ezekiel 26:18

13 Lord, You are the hope of Israel; all who forsake You will be put to shame. Those who turn away from You will be written in the dust because they have forsaken the Lord, the spring of living water. Jeremiah 17:13

Our LORD reigns over all the earth, the affairs of men secure in His powerful hand. As 2016 draws to a close and 2017 roars in bringing much uncertainty the words of our Beloved JEHOVAH Elohim continue to call the lost to repentance.

"Oh wicked and adulterous generation. Those who have spurned My righteousness in order to obtain the glory of this world - beware. Your foundations will crack, your empires crumble as you continue in the broad way leading to your own destruction. You fallen man have been deceived.

See the perversion of this nation. Stand at the highways and byways and see what you as a people have become. You have placed your hopes and dreams in a man expecting good while ignoring the evil that has swept across your land consuming all in its path.

Many speak revival. I tell you, revival will not come unless first comes an acknowledgment of the sinfulness of your lives with weeping, mourning and repentance. 

You have sown to the wind and now you reap the whirlwind.

For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. 2 Corinthians 7:10

....making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:16-17

He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, But he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion. Proverbs 28:13

The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, And the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. In whirlwind and storm is His way, And clouds are the dust beneath His feet. Nahum 1:3"

"Peace will not come through the White House, meditation, yoga or political correctness. Never again will Obama stand in opposition against My people. I will see to it.

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27

Those who seek peace apart from The Prince of Peace will find little for which to be thankful. Dark days of despair, doubt and fear await millions who have a form of godliness but deny the power, My Power. Your relationship with Me is shallow and of little effect.

Churches overflow this holiday season as carols are sung and scriptures read telling of the little LORD JESUS asleep on the hay. Few realize or even care, few will remember The Child has become a man and turned the world upside down with the Truth of The Word that became flesh and dwelt among us. Millions will neither see the Just Judge in Revelation nor seek a change of heart and life. Few will confess their sins and seek reconciliation through My Redeemer. None will come boldly to claim the power found only in the blood of My perfect Lamb.

Enjoy the day. Exchange gifts you've gone into debt to purchase. Ignore the King of kings and LORD of lords; for untold millions this is your best life now.

He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. 1 John 5:12-13

She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Yeshua, for He will save His people from their sins." Matthew1:21"

On the afternoon of 20 December, 2016 came these words:     "And so it has begun. Warning after warning of approaching evil, admonitions to get ready and be prepared... and so it has begun. Many of my watchmen have spoken truth, others have spoken the heart of man but not the heart of God.

'...You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why don't you know how to interpret this time?' Luke 12:56

The holiday has overshadowed the holiness. Blindness covers the eyes. Millions reject the Saviour and embrace Santa. This should trouble all who call Me LORD, but it doesn't. 2016 will not end in peace for many. 2017 will see chaos and violence continue.  

STOP!!  Look around. See the hurt the pain in the eyes of so many.  

Remember;  'Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.' Matthew 7:13-14

How many do you encounter daily who are traveling the broad road? How many stand at the wide gate?  How many??  Give a smile, a kind word to encourage and uplift for this is the true meaning of Christmas...

'For God so loved the world that He gave His One and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.' John 3:16-17"

"You have been warned; With bit and bridle they will come for you. A bit to silence your voice, a bridle to lead you in the way of their choosing. It will come slowly. Many will take no notice until it becomes too late to react. My children must not be caught off guard. Opposition to My Word will gradually lead more and more churches toward the wide road that leads to destruction. In days ahead, do not accept nor tolerate voices that speak contrary to My Word, and there will be many. I have given you authority and power over evil yet too many of you are standing by wringing your hands, shaking your heads and wondering what to do.

Pray in the Spirit. Pray for discernment. Pray that Holy Spirit will guide you into all Truth. Do not be made a fool by the foolish among you. Be wise as serpents, harmless as doves. Take no thought ( do not be worried) for tomorrow  but be wise to the tricks and schemes of the evil one. We must redeem the time for the days are evil, (Ephesians 5:16).

Write, make it plain to those with ears to hear, eyes to see make it plain. The sins of this nation ignored now boil over without regard for any. What was once tolerated will be tolerated no longer. What you find acceptable, I accept no longer."

This word was received 16 December, 2016. On 18 December my friend Benjamin Faircloth delivered a powerful message....

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OwtJPYoSU7I

'…Truly I tell you that if anyone SAYS to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him.  Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.…' Mark 11

Charles Capps writes:  " if you pray one thing and say another, you are going to have what you say, not what you pray. But when you get your saying and your praying together, you have the spiritual forces working for you. Jesus said we are to speak to the mountain, not pray to God about the mountain." (Releasing the Ability of God Through Prayer, pg.136-137)

It is time we as the body of Christ recognized our authority in Christ and took our positions in the LORD's army to defeat the enemy within.

"Radical Islam will soon make much headway within your nation. Even now, plans are being fomented to bring down America.

Will you pray and stand in the gap? Or will you bend and break like a fragile sapling without root or strength to bear the load? Do you still partake of the milk of the word but have no interest in the meat? 

My children hear My word, but do not obey what they know to be truth. You are tolerant and accepting of sin. Your churches are filled with weak kneed, lukewarm, legalistic Pharisees. Holy Spirit is no longer welcomed in My house as you cling tightly to man-made traditions and doctrines of demons.

Wash your robes in the blood of the Lamb. Be holy for I AM is holy. Come before Me with clean hands and a pure heart."

'...keep in mind how far you have fallen. Repent and perform the deeds you did at first. But if you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lamp-stand from its place.…' (Revelation 2:5)

'If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' (1 John 1:9)

'He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, But he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion.' (Proverbs 28:13)

'Only acknowledge your iniquity, That you have transgressed against the LORD your God And have scattered your favors to the strangers under every green tree, And you have not obeyed My voice,' declares the LORD.' (Jeremiah 3:13)

"My children must know, I AM THAT I AM. Tell them, help them to understand the seriousness - the lateness of the hour.

Days of rage and violence will come upon your nations. Days of strife and turmoil as each struggle brings more doubt and fear. Hopes and dreams will shatter as calamities come. Millions have built upon shifting sand and now as tides of evil beat upon their shores, castles built on sand will erode leaving many questions but few answers. 

Children of lesser gods will fall. Those whose hopes are built on solid rock will sustain the crush of evil and become like diamonds scattered upon the sand. Shake off your weariness, wipe the sleep from your eyes. Arise to claim your position and authority in Christ. Do not allow the distractions of the world to pull you away from Me. Walk in the anointing of the One who died that you might have life and life eternally."

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10

'Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise Him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.' Psalm 43:5

"Days of peace are fading away. Darkness continues to slowly sweep over the nations, nations that have forgotten their God, replacing Him with things that cannot satisfy, neither can they bring peace in the midst of the storms that are coming. Those who have chosen to separate from JEHOVAH God will soon realize they have made a very poor choice."

1. 'Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you washed in the blood, In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb? Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb...?'  Elisha A, Hoffman 1878

…then one of the elders addressed me: “These in white robes,” he asked, “who are they, and where have they come from? Sir, I answered, you know. So he replied, these are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. For this reason, they are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple; and the One seated on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them.…' Revelation 7:13-15

"You will understand the heart of God as you share the good news with others and they are not interested. When you speak the truth in love and your words are ignored. When you share and your words stir up anger and strife in your families. Then you will know My heart.

In the coming days you will be given much opportunity to share My love. Expect to be scorned, mocked, poked fun at or ignored. 'Remember what I told you, a servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also'. (John 15:20)

Hard days are coming upon this world. Your faith will be tested, refined in the fires of affliction. 'See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction'. (Isaiah 48:10). None will be exempt from the judgments that will be poured out upon the nations. Great upheaval in many areas will open doors of opportunity for witnessing. Stand strong in the armor of JESUS Christ (Ephesians 6), share the goodness of your God, telling others of My love. This is the heart of God.  'This is what the LORD says to you: Do not be afraid or discouraged....For the battle is not yours, but God's'. (2 Chronicles 20:15)"

"...but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." Acts 1:8

The word was received in the morning. The evening of the same day, 9 December while in prayer regarding this word I ask Abba, 'are the warnings ending and now is the time we prepare for battle?' I ask for scripture that would show me the direction, whatever it was, we as a nation were going. Holy Spirit lead me to read Jeremiah 6. I share that you might read and allow Holy Spirit to guide you. We are heading into unchartered waters and will desperately need His wisdom and knowledge in the days ahead.

'My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me...' John 10:27

"You await the verdict, yet I tell you, it has already been decided; in heaven so too on earth. You expect to live a life of sin and be blessed of the LORD? You are a fool says your LORD. Living as if I AM does not exist, you have abandoned My Word and continue to expect My favor. America is on the precipice of total destruction, she will implode from within. Strange happenings coming soon.

I said repent, but this word fell on deaf ears. Darkness, darkness where light should have reigned. I said fires were coming to your land, My Words meant nothing. Children have been murdered, My church is tattered and torn, evil has had free reign yet man has acquiesced and remained complicit and quiet. Lips that once spoke truth are now silent. Forces of evil skillfully set traps for the unsuspecting and many now are entangled in their grip. 

Arise, arise I said, disarm evil with the sword of the Spirit, The Word of God. Make haste, time is short, the battle fierce. The warriors grow weak for they fight in their own strength. Strategic positions have been overtaken by forces of evil, surrendering without a fight, but....

You refused to listen and now it is time, I AM will speak and My voice will be heard. Vengeance is Mine says the LORD, I will repay."(Romans 12:19)

'Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.' John 8:34

'But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron..' 1 Timothy 4:1-2

"Say to them, 'As I live!' declares the Lord GOD, 'I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live Turn back, turn back from your evil ways! Why then will you die, O house of Israel?' Ezekiel 33:11

"For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?' Mark 8:36

'But I have this against you, that you have left your first love." Revelation 2:4

"My children are weak. You have left others to fight the battles while you sat in padded pews soaking in but seldom giving out. In your desire to be loving and tolerant, you have become ineffective and lax, your messages a watered down, poor imitation of My Word. You have offered the world nothing of value so millions mock, ridicule and ignore the gospel as you build bigger and better in an attempt to be relevant.

Where is your passion? Where is your heart for the lost? Rise up oh men (and women) of God. Reach the lost through the truth found only in My Word."

"Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU," so that we confidently say, "THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?" Hebrews 13:5-6

"Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." Matthew 26:41

"He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly, Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary." Isaiah 40:29-31

"The doubts and fears of many will rise to new heights as you see the day approaching. Soon violence will erupt across the land. Brought about by the mighty hand of God against this wicked and perverse nation. Many opportunities to proclaim the goodness of your God await the redeemed of the LORD.

Prepare to give an account to all that ask of the hope that is within you. Gathering clouds of darkness must not be allowed to shade the brilliance of My Word. In days to come you will be poured out as an offering unto your God". (https://utmost.org/are-you-ready-to-be-poured-out-as-an-offering-2/)

"Do not fear; stand straight, shoulders back, head held high and proclaim the goodness of your God. I would ask My people to commit to Me. Not just pay lip service but commit to learn and grow in their knowledge of My will and My Word. In days ahead you will be called upon to speak in My Name. The blackest of nights will be as dawn as judgment approaches. Your minds will be consumed with the things of the world as judgment sweeps across your land. Prepare now.!!. Be light in the darkness. Seek to serve not to be served. Pray without ceasing. Come to Me not man for guidance and direction. Use the time wisely. Look for opportunities to speak to the hurting. Be light in the darkness bringing glory to My Name. The debt you owe can never be repaid apart from the Cross."

"But who can endure the day of His coming? Who can stand when He appears? For He will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap." Malachi 3:2

"Ascribe to the LORD, O sons of the mighty, Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in holy array." Psalm 29:1-2
