This word was extremely difficult to receive and to share.  As with all I post take it to the LORD in prayer:  

Proverbs 4:19 "The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know over what they stumble".

John 3:19...This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

I began another post, but I knew within my spirit Abba Father had a more important word for this time. I got pen and pad and ask "Abba, what is on your heart today?" I could feel the heaviness of His heart, the grief and then His anger against this nation....He spoke:

 "My heart is heavy, grieved for My children. Such evil days are coming upon this nation. How I longed to hear you cry out to Me. How I desired to restore what the evil one had taken from you but you cared nothing for Me or My ways. My Son has become a byword, a joke...but NO MORE. I gave ample time to repent, for you to see the error of your ways but you continued in sin; the seduction of satan had a firm grasp on you and you were unwilling to let go of his hand of perceived 'blessing' as you scoffed, scorned and ridiculed all that was holy. Now man will begin to experience the wrath of The scorned Lover of their soul. Now man will partake of the 'blessings' of the fruit of their endeavors. 

My anger mounts as My remnant cry out for this nation. Know that I have heard your prayers, your cries for your nation. Yes, I have heard...vengeance is Mine says the LORD, I will repay.!! My anger rises up within Me. You will soon see what destruction your sin has brought upon this nation. Because judgment tarried, did you think it would not come? Did you think I would not judge America? Have you become so proud and arrogant you thought you would Make America Great Again without Me? You have built a house of cards that will soon come crashing to the ground.  Where will you be then America...where will you be then?"

The following is what I believe is a word for the remnant.   "Regardless of how one feels about Donald Trump, he is the man chosen for this time in the history of your nation. Use the time wisely, prepare for the days soon coming when freedoms will be snatched away; one after another. Christianity will be hamstrung in days ahead. The ability to speak the things of God will be marginalized. Darkness is descending upon the nation. It will come as a thief in the night, taking many by surprise. Prepare now for the darkness, Gird up your loins, have oil in your lamp, pray at all times in all circumstances. Stand strong on the promises of God. After Donald Trump leaves office darkness will intensify. You have much work to do and little time remains. Work while it is day, for night comes when no one can work."

In the spirit I saw a person holding a small bag, they appeared to be looking inside. As I watched, they disappeared into what appeared to be a vapor, a fog, smoke. Then another person appeared. Holding a larger bag they too appeared to be looking into the bag then disappeared into the vapor. I thought to myself 'they are looking for something.' Holy Spirit said 'no, that is their bag of trash.' He explained;  each and every person has events in their past that have caused hurts. Many cannot let go of them, carrying them year after year, their bag of hurt feelings, unforgiveness, rejection, misunderstandings, bitterness, anger....the bag they carried was their bag of trash. 

The bag serves no useful purpose and should have been discarded years ago yet millions keep the bag handy, cherishing it, digging around in it often when opportunity presents itself, reminding others of its content. Many struggle with the weight of the bag; often allowing its weight to destroy health, relationships, lives; allowing their past to determine their future, yet they refuse to let it go, clinging tightly, nurturing this heavy bag of trash.

Holy Spirit said their disappearance was a picture of how fragile life really is. We are all like a vapor, here for only a brief time and then we are gone. ( Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor (mist, fog, smoke) that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. John 4:14) We must put our bag of trash in the rubbish bin and move forward with God, leaving our trash behind us.

'What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.'  Romans 6:1-14

"Sound the alarm...continue to proclaim "righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any people." Continue to warn, judgment comes swiftly for when they say "peace and safety then sudden destruction comes like a women in child labor. Continue to share My love with this lost and dying world. Continue to praise, for I inhabit the praises of My people. Do not grow weary, faint not. Reject the ways of the world, cling to what is good.

The sins of the nation continue to pile higher...the reproach of the people stands as a testament against them. Alert the wayward, pray for the lost yet know that your labor will not be in vain even though millions will reject My Words, embrace the world, walk in unrighteousness and to their great horror stand before their Creator, now their Judge instead of their Saviour.

Darkness continues to spread over the land. Many see and believe but many more care not what is happening. 'Let the good times roll' they say. 'Eat, drink and be merry, live, laugh love', knowing not how late the hour. Knowing not the ways of God, knowing not King Jesus, Saviour, and LORD of Life. Not spoken in so many words but lifestyles reflect the heart of man; hard, self-seeking, proud, arrogant, boastful...the list would be without end for each has fashioned a god to their liking. The doors are beginning to close. What has been prophesied so many years ago will soon come to pass. John, Daniel, Ezekiel...spoke of latter days crying out for the lost, speaking of judgments to come of My wrath that must be poured out against the wicked and perverse generations, yet few listened, changed or noticed their sins piling higher and higher.

Rest and refresh for the days ahead will be troubling, filled with much sorrow and woe. The rejection of My Word, My Son has created a vacuum now filled by the evils of greed, murder, lies and deceit. The LORD will hear, the LORD will deliver the LORD will restore all those who seek after righteousness."

" The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous. Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge. Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad." Psalm 14

"Hear the word of the Lord... for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. (Spoken to Israel, yet a strong word to all who name The Name of Messiah Yeshua) By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest. Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame." 
Hosea 4:1-6

'Heaviness is on My heart says the LORD. My people perish for lack of wisdom, guidance and truth yet none seem concerned enough to pray, share and love those that have wandered - gently guiding them back into My pasture that I might tend and care for them.

A day is like a year, a year like a day. Fire, explosion, death, bloodshed will soon come upon the nations that have rejected God, America is among those who have chosen to make laws that stand in opposition to My word, their lives reflect a hatred for the things of God. I speak of soon that My people might see the need to get hearts and lives right with Me.  Yes, judgment comes, without restraint, across one nation then another, pouring forth to purify and restore what the enemy has been handed by gullible politicians, weak-kneed preachers and complacent Christians. My watchmen continue to speak forth that all men might be saved; the wicked too receive their punishment the righteous their reward. The watchmen speaks...their words fall to the ground to be trampled under foot by those whose hidden agendas, hatred and self-seeking righteous are their gods.

God' ways are far above the ways of man. You see the now, I see the eternal. No longer base your decisions on the now...look beyond the now to the forever. Desire Me as a starving man desires food, as a thirsty man water. Need me, know that apart from Me you can do nothing. Be not condemned, only believe. What little remains of what once was will soon be destroyed by the continual rejection of My Spirit. The church, the nation cling to a shell of its former self, seeking within themselves to heal and restore the brokenness that consumes this nation like a plague. None can compare to Me. You will have no other gods before Me.

My people perish for lack of knowledge. Millions know not the ways of God. Continue to speak, sound the alarm, give a clarion call to repent.  Dark days soon coming upon this nation, you must become strong for the days ahead. Learn to lean on Me. Trust Me and none other, none other. What seems apparent is too often not the reality. Lean on Me. Pray more, pray about everything. ask God, 'LORD, what would You have me to do.'

Trust in the goodness of your God. Rest under My shadow and dwell in My peace. Soon will come soon enough. The days will grow darker, the time to prepare is now. Keep your heart and mind stayed on Me. Stand and keep standing on the promises of God.'

"In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength: For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.' Isaiah 26:1-5

"O, how much of sin comes out of faith delayed." Charles Spurgeon

"Do not look right or left, but keep your eyes on Me, I AM your rampart. I AM your sure foundation. Seek none other. (John 16)  Refuse to be silenced. Many will try to silence The Truth through threat, intimidation, ridicule and strife.  The joy of the LORD must be your strength. (Ezekiel 24)

My Word is LIFE...life for all who would seek after righteousness. Life for all who will search their hearts and confess their sins. I have come to give life. Embrace My Word, embrace life. There is room at the cross for all. (Romans 9)  Rejoice that your names are written in The Lamb' Book of Life. Weep for those who have distanced themselves far from Me. Weep as a mother weeps at the loss of a child. My heart yearns for the day when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ IS LORD. I take NO delight in the death of the wicked. Hell was created for Lucifer and the fallen who chose to follow him. Yes My heart is grieved for today millions continue to choose to follow the son of perdition. Believing the lie, blindly they follow; blind yet still they follow. (Psalm 111)

How dark the days...evil darkness. The blackness of night, the shadows of the day surround the nation. The church lies in ruin, the nation stripped of her beauty, tattered and torn. The church has chosen the wide road...a road filled with corruption, deception, greed, murder and lies. The church is lead by the false the fake the lame the blind. Come out of her My people and be ye separate. Do not become entangled in the ways of the world. The ways of the world hold My children captive. The hold is strong for My Word has been ignored, maligned, watered down or changed to teach things contrary to My Way. My Word is holy yet millions have profaned it without regard for consequences. Pillars of faith will fall as My judgment is swift, mighty removing all doubt of Who I AM. (Malachi 2:10; Revelation 18:4-5)

Continue to call out to Me. Continue to seek My ways. I will not leave you alone. I will be with you in times of plenty and in times of lack. Take dominion over the evil one. He is a liar and the truth is not in him. Cast out his power in your life in The Name of My Son. The events that must come upon this nation will silence the grumblers and drive many to their knees. It will not be pretty but harsh, and hard to watch. Be ready for what must happen. An explosion...fire, much destruction, death. The times are in My hand. You have been warned, few have listened. Millions have ignored the warnings and now it is time. Soon...soon the devastation will begin. Be about the Father' business. Show others My love. Share My Light, Share My love, Share Eternal life with all with ears to hear and eyes to see Truth. Mankind' evil will pale in comparison to My glory. Shine ever more brightly...be the light, be the beacon in the darkness. Know your name is written in The Lamb' Book of Life. Rejoice and be glad, rejoice and be at peace.

The goodness of God cannot be overshadowed by the evils of the world. My light will shine in the darkness. Show forth My love to this people shrouded in hopelessness, fear and doubt." (John 6:26-27; 29; 35)

"I have looked for a people who would stand and proclaim the goodness of God. I have searched for those who desire My presence more than personal recognition, more than silver or gold.
America is falling. The stench of her sins is spreading like a cancer across the nation. The sins of the fathers being visited upon the children. Evil forces surround; from coast to coast, state to state it continues to attach itself to the weak kneed among you. As the church trembles in fear not knowing what to do, she cowers in the shadows of compromise and tolerance, her silence speaks her heart.  The sins of her people (the compromised church and the corrupt within America) have risen to the throne room of God, cries, prayers from the redeemed fill the halls of justice in His courts of praise....judgment comes swift upon this dry and thirsty land. Stagnant pools of lies, deception, deceit instead of Living Water has been given to the unsuspecting within the church. (Haggai 1:6-8)

A sin sick church has created a sin sick nation.

Sins like a plague sweep across the land. My redeemed will soon see greater persecution. What awaits America and the church will stretch the faith of many. Be not shaken for these things must be. Great calamity awaits America and the churches that have run from truth to embrace another gospel...more palatable, more to their liking. You stand stiff-necked and proud, but one day you will bend your knee and bow your head. Will it be too late? The choice is yours.

 I have much to say but millions will not listen. Millions condemned to hell yet none desire truth. The gospel must be preached then the end will come. (John 10:10) When you see America in turmoil know that the church must bear responsibility for they choose to ignore the mandate set forth in My Word and instead set their sights on things of the world. America is a reflection of the failure of the church. My fields are white unto harvest (John 4:35) but the church has refused to plant, weed or water. The church will indeed reap what it has sown...and so too will America. What has been will be again. All will grow faint as My judgments come; one then another then another. Count it all joy when you fall into times of trial and testing for I purge those that belong to Me.

Speak to the pockets of resistance, speak encouragement, speak hope and courage. Speak peace in the midst of the storm. The redeemed of the LORD have taken their positions, arrayed in My glory, no longer cowering in the shadows, they have taken a stand for truth. Counting the cost they stand. There are few who stand in the gap for America, few indeed but their voices I have heard. So too are brothers and sisters in lands far away, those who have rejected religious lies, accepted My Son and refuse to back down. Hardship, turmoil, lack only strengthen their faith. Church in America you would do well to watch, listen and learn. You who lounge in the lap of luxury take notice, you have much to learn. (Hebrews 4)

Place your trust in God alone. Man will disappoint, man will promise, pretend and pander but God alone will do what He has promised. Rest in the faithfulness of your God. Darkness will continue like a cancer to spread across America. Do not be surprised by what you see. Expect more of the same. Get Ready and be prepared. (Revelation 3:3; Isaiah 26, 27, 28)"
