Stand up, stand up for Jesus, you soldiers of the Cross. Life high His royal banner, it must not suffer loss.....

"Americans take for granted the grace and mercy being poured out upon them. The church stands by watching in eager expectation of blessings as sin continues to mount within their congregation. Millions lean on false hope, building their lives on the teachings of man and not the promises of God.  The weight of the world will destroy the church built on a weak word, false promises and half-hearted faith."

The following is a word I received on 28 March, 2019; a word I would prefer not to deliver. Please pray and seek God, Perhaps He will change His mind and give us more time.

"You have six more years to get ready and be prepared. You have six years to warn the sheep, use your time wisely. Once Donald Trump leaves office things will change drastically."

The following I received the evening of 29 March, 2019..."There is one rising who is cunning, crafty and clever in his deceit. Watch for one to appear a friend, but beware... his motives are not pure. Deceit is in his heart. He will pretend to be a friend to Israel and will lead many astray. Pray for discernment for the people and leadership of Israel. Be on your guard; the darkness continues to spread as the church languishes in apathy with a poverty mentality. (I understood this to be spiritual poverty not monetary)".

To remain silent is easy, to turn a blind eye, save face, ignore, explain away...all easier than speaking up. You must begin now to take a stand. Do not relinquish your position as a child of God, pray but speak up for what is true, defend your faith in the midst of adversity. Do not allow lies and half truths to distort My gospel. Many will try, but they must not succeed. The darker the days become the harder it will be to speak up; you must not remains silent.

The darkness that comes will take many by surprise. It will come from a once trusted source but soon you will see your trust has been misplaced. Take a stand for what you know to be right. My Word, not manmade theology, must be your final authority".

"Who is the man wise enough to understand this? To whom has the mouth of the LORD spoken, that he may explain it? Why is the land destroyed and scorched (spiritually) like a desert, so no one can pass through it?  And the LORD answered, "it is because they have forsaken My law (My Word) that I set before them; they have not walked in it or obeyed My voice. Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts and gone after the Baals (self-gratifying idols) as their (spiritual) fathers taught them.”… Jeremiah 9

What Do You Need?

By: M.E. Townsend

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 2009

The early preachers and teachers of the faith shared the truth and revelation of God’ Word and His will, turning the world upside down, spreading the gospel throughout the known world.

How strange that the same is not happening today. The gospel shared today from many of our pulpits and television screens is far different than was taught then.

Today we hear -  “What do you need? Start creating it. Start speaking it into being. Speak to your wallet, Say: “You big, thick wallet full of money.” Speak to your checkbook. Say: “You’ve never been so prosperous since I’ve owned you.” You’re just jammed with money.”

“Repeat after me: “The wealth of the wicked is mine.” One more time – one more time.”

“I’m sick and tired of hearing about streets of gold. I do not need gold in heaven, I gotta have it now. I mean, when I get to glory, all my bills will be paid. I won’t have bills in glory.”

“Give $10 and receive $1000, give $1000 and receive $100,000 – give one house and get a hundred, or a house worth one hundred times as much. In short, Mark 10:30 is a very good deal.”

“You need to hear about money, because you ‘ain’t gonna’ have no love and joy and peace until you get some money.”

So, obviously, Peter, Paul, Matthew, even the LORD Himself had it wrong. They were, according to today’ televangelist, to have lived a life of affluence, dressed in the finest, eating the best food, drinking the best wine; but as Jesus Christ Himself attested when speaking of John The Baptizer; “What did you go out into the wilderness to see - a reed shaken by the wind? What did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who are clothed in fine garments, in gorgeous apparel, living in luxury are in the king’s court.”

Does not the Word of God tell us -  "Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days." James 5:1-3

"For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world." 1 John 2:16

Paul had more revelation of the truth than any other disciple and yet, once he gave his life to Jesus, his life was neither glamorous, nor pleasant, nor prosperous!

These men of old labored tirelessly for the LORD, pouring out their lives for Him and, with the exception of John, all were eventually martyred.

Do the preachers and evangelist of today really believe they deserve such immense wealth, oppulant life styles - blessings and big salaries? Most prosperity teachers boast of their wealth saying God has blessed them – yet in reality, their wealth has come from the pockets and purses of many who can ill afford to give. Far too many give out of poverty hoping desperately for a better life.

They are not taught the principles of giving unto the LORD - they are taught - give to get.

Prosperity teachers tell you that you can expect a BIG return on your “donation” or your “seed faith offering.” They create a spirit of greed and discontentment within the body by saying that God wants you to be wealthy, that you will become wealthy if you will only give to their ministry and have faith. The Bible teaches the opposite -

"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Colossians 3:2

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." Matthew 6:19-20

If we will be faithful to dedicate ourselves to the reading of God’ Word, studying to show ourselves approved unto God – a workman that need not be ashamed – God will provide all we need – not all we greed. If we will seek His righteousness, living lives that bring glory to His Name, He guarantees there are treasures stored up for us in heaven – and, He Who has promised IS faithful – The Lamb of God.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

“Then Peter spoke saying:

“Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have I give unto thee; in the Name of Jesus the Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk” Acts 3:6

"The heart of the Father grieves for His wayward children. Hearts are cold...correction must come. It will come swiftly - catching many by surprise. The depth of sin is great, but My love is greater. Run to Me says the LORD, acknowledge your sins. I will forgive, but you say; 'NO, it is only a small thing, I can take care of it'. The dark alley of despair awaits those who choose to play God.

But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. Romans 2:5

The words I speak are life says the LORD. Never doubt or be afraid. Trust in My Word. Trust Me as a child trust their Abba. This is the way of obedient children; to do the will of their Father.

Wars, rumors of wars. Signs of the times in which you live. My sheep hear My voice, others follow the heirlings and false messiahs to their shame. There is only one way to receive salvation; only one... 

I am, says Jesus, the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.' John 14:6

All other ground is sinking sand.

Battle lines have been drawn. Choose this day whom you will serve."

The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.' Proverbs 27:122

"Danger, danger, danger ahead. Heed the warnings of the prophet, the watchmen, The Word. Listen to the sounds that surround, be alert to all that is happening within your nation and around the world. Do not become complacent and comfortable, blind to the danger, compromised in your faith.

Lies are being told deceiving My people. Be cautious in the days ahead,  listen and be alert, confirming all you hear with My Word. Many voices will be speaking and many will be speaking lies and half-truths turning those away from Me who have a form of godliness but deny the power, those who have a world view instead of a Word view and those whose god is found in the world, the flesh and the devil...  Loosing their way, millions will perish for lack of knowledge. Deceiving spirits have been loosed over many nations, including America.

Rejection of Truth does not change Truth. Rejection of My Son does not change Who He is and rejection of My Word does not change My Word...I AM that I AM... I do not change (Malachi 3:6).

The wrath of God, the judgment for sin is upon America. Things once held precious will erode as you begin to see what is really important taken away. America is falling further and further from The Truth of My Word. Weigh carefully those things you hold dear; many are not as they appear to be. 

Americans are deceived, defeated and destitute. Look around and see the carnage that surrounds. Lies, murder, mayhem, chaos...Truth is rejected as lies are embraced. Good has become evil and evil good. The goodness of God has been shunned making way for feel good faith and watered down sermons creating religious reprobates and biblical illiterates. You have been given time to repent yet continue to slip further and further away. 

Indeed you have been weighed in the balance and found wanting." 

'Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings...' Hebrew 13:8-9

'God is not man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not fulfill it?'  Numbers 23:19 

'I am the Lord. I have spoken; it shall come to pass; I will do it. I will not go back; I will not spare; I will not relent; according to your ways and your deeds you will be judged, declares the Lord God.' Ezekiel 24:14

"I AM the resurrection and the life, their is no other way but through Calvary that mankind will be saved. There is no government, no law, no religion no position; nothing but The Cross that will wash away the guilt of sin. There is no other way, yet man is determined to find a wider, easier more self-satisfying road that will take them where their hearts desire to go. Your sins continue to mount as you travel through life in search of happiness; sins continue to mount but few take notice as they travel aimlessly through life in search of happiness and self gratification. 

The message remains the same, REPENT! Carbon copies of the message, one after the other yet there remains sin within My church. Across the nation and around the world sin flourishes. Is man to blame or is it the message being presented week after week? Chapel, storefront, mosque many continue to hear words but My Word is not spoken. Another gospel is preached but My Words remain hidden behind dusty pages of Bibles, unknown to most, unheard of by many. Meaningless messages without truth serve only to confuse the hearer. Conflict all too often fills the heart of man. Without Truth, man is left to make decisions based on lies, supposition and emotions. 

Upheaval, rebellion, unrighteousness...these are the ways of the world. The darkness has begun to spread. The evil that has taken root grows stronger and more bold. Much more turmoil and violence in days ahead. The gift of Salvation has been rejected by millions and now all that is left is sin and  evil intent within the heart of man".

"...And you shall know the truth and The Truth will set you free. John 8:32

Guard your heart and your mind through Christ Jesus The LORD. Philippians 4:7

Jesus said; " I AM The Way, The Truth and The Life, no one comes to the Father except through Me". John 14:6

      The following was posted almost four years ago...yet perhaps more relevant today than then.  Much has changed, sadly most not for the better.

       I continue to stand as a watchman on the wall sharing what I have heard in my spirit. I am not a prophet, but a watchman and will be the first to admit that more than once things posted did not come about, thankfully. These can be credited to human error or Divine intervention; whichever way you so choose. My calling remains the same, to awaken the slumbering, to challenge the sheep to follow the Good Shepherd and encourage the saints to be alert to the tricks and schemes of the evil one. I would appreciate your prayers as I continue to serve as His watchman for as long as He allows.

Sunday, August 23, 2015....

I have stood faithfully as a watchman on the wall for several years.  Attempting to share encouragement, admonition, and the heart of God for His people. I pray I have been faithful and will continue to be faithful to do what God has called me to do, and now...

On July 27, 2015, thirty days after the SCOTUS decision to legalize same sex marriage shaking their fist at God, I began to hear the still small voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to me.

"Weep not for what is coming upon America. Weep not for what has and will be lost. Rejoice that your name is written in heaven. Give ear to hear My Word of admonition. Many have been called - but few have answered. Judgment has been pronounced upon America. A righteous and holy God cannot remain silent in the midst of corruption. America has sown the wind and must now reap the whirlwind."

On August 4, 2015 following the release of video showing the agenda of Planned Parenthood Holy Spirit showed me that America had been given by our very loving, long suffering God not one but two opportunities to do what was right in His eyes. One to rise up against the SCOTUS decision, secondly to take a stand against Planned Parenthood neither of which happened.

I heard:  "Hear the Word of the LORD. you who walk up rightly. Iniquity rules and reigns in the hearts and minds of millions of church goers. Those who have a form of godliness but deny My power.  Why do you not turn away from evil? Why do you allow sin in My house?  Sin is a reproach to any nation, even America. (Isaiah 26)  America has been weighed in the balance and found wanting."

Our nation is racing toward destruction. Rejection of God has brought judgment to this nation.  As Holy Spirit leads I will share what He is speaking to me.  Drastic changes are coming.  The harvest is ready.  We must be laborers in His field.

'God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.' Psalm 46:1

'...but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses...2 Corinthians 6:4

In my spirit I heard:  "I see lightening flashing, I hear thunder roar. It is the sound of division within the nation. The darkness will be illuminated as battle lines are drawn and men take their places - one against another. Events will soon unfold that will bring a great divide to this nation. Tattered and torn threads of the past will litter the halls of once great cathedrals. 

Evil waits behind the door. He arrives unnoticed by many, welcomed by others. My children, hear My words of exhortation, My warnings. Trouble is coming, trouble like you have never known before; such will be the future of those who have shunned Me, rejected My Truth and spurned The Holy One of Israel. Dark days await. Millions of eyes have been closed to truth by pastors with an agenda but no anointing. Child be alert, do not settle for second best. Know My Word and know your authority through Jesus Christ.

Times of testing are coming to America. Today or tomorrow, next week or next year, judgment will come. Are you ready for what will happen or have you grown hard to the warnings and tired of the wait? I delay My judgment that you may pray and more will enter into My Ark of safety. Too long you have lounged in luxury, giving little, expecting much. How weak your faith has become. The great and the small, the rich and the poor will see My wrath being poured out upon this wicked and perverse people. All will feel the heat of My wrath as idols fall and temples built to gods of opulence and plenty tumble.  

I have not rejected you America, it is you who has rejected Me."

Knowing we are a body and none labor alone, I would like to share the following. I pray you are encouraged...."you have labored long and hard, know your labor has not been in vain. Words of encouragement, a prayer, a smile shared is a seed planted. Know your labor has not been in vain. Child, you have no idea the darkness, the devastation coming so very soon. (this word came on 3/10, before the attack in New Zealand). You warn, you pray, you warn again yet the majority have closed hearts and minds to My Words. When hard times come be prepared to give an answer to those who fear; give them the hope and peace that lives within you. Share Jesus with all who will listen. Stand up for Truth - stand up even when the majority remain seated and silent, stand up!"

'Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.' John 14:27

Blind eyes...millions have blind eyes.

Blind to the things that surround them. Temptations that will take them further and further away from God. Tricks of the devil disguised as light to bring happiness, success and well being. Opportunities that will call for compromise; compromise that will lead to deception, deception that will lead to heartache and separation from God. These are the ways of satan, yet man is blinded by the promises seeing not the peril.

The man of sin will one day be revealed, will it be soon, is it years away...are you ready for whatever comes? Will you praise God in lack as you praise Him in plenty? Will you praise when all seems lost, when hope is gone and strength fails? Will your faith be strong enough to withstand the temptations, the tricks, the opportunities for a better life, will you compromise will you be deceived? Has your faith been tested, are you battle scared yet thankful, are you prepared for the test?

The LORD has come to give sight to the blind, to heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds. What will it take o man for you to come to realize that apart from God you are lost and condemned to torment in the lake of fire that burns forever? Has prideful arrogance and self determination robbed you of The Saviour' gift of forgiveness and love? What will it take o man, what will it take?

"Left undone are things not spoken, hearts not mended, lives not changed.

Blessing and honor, glory and praise be unto the Ancient of Days. Let every nation come before Me in praise, lifting holy hands unto the Ancient of Days. Child of The King know your place in My heart.

I have heard your prayers and I will respond...when it is time. Your ways are not My ways neither are My ways your ways. What appears strange to you, what you often do not understand know that I AM will do what is best. Never doubt in the goodness of your God.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. James 4:10

Continue to pray against the evil in your land. There are many thrill seekers but too few Truth seekers. Do not focus on the sensational, focus on the scripture. You have been given a brief time to prepare for impact yet too many are majoring on minors instead of praying for the lost or planting My Word deep within their heart...they are tilting at windmills and chasing the doctrines of devils. You have come to a fork in the road. Which way will you go? Will you follow the teachings of My Word or will you abandon Me for the world? Have you settled in your heart who I AM or do doubts and fears continue to dwell within? Have you come too far to turn back or are you content to travel the wide road of ease and casual Christianity?

Much more is coming, there is a gathering of clouds upon the horizon; darkness, storm, rage. Great deception is coming, it has begun but it will intensify and millions are not prepared. Facebook is a toy when it should be a tool to spread the gospel, admonishing the saints, encouraging the weary. Time is short; prepare. Be diligent in prayer and focused on My Word. Be about the Father' business. Do not grow weary, stand strong in Me. Much evil will come against My church, prepare now, use your time wisely, prepare. Be alert, be on guard, be armed and dangerous against the tricks of the devil and his demons and remember....

Light and dark look the same to a blind man."

They worshiped the LORD, but they also appointed all sorts of their own people to officiate for them as priests in the shrines at the high places. ³³They worshiped the LORD, but they also served their own gods in accordance with the customs of the nations from which they had been brought. II Kings 17:32-33

"Pope Francis will lead millions down the wide road to their destruction. This man of sin, filled with such deception, caring not for truth, he neither hears nor recognizes The Truth. He has embraced a strong delusion and now the delusion is sweeping across nation after nation drawing millions into its tangled web.

There are many types of anti-Christ. An anti-Christ is one who is against Christ, one who stands opposed to the Gospel, against God and His Glory. The star of Miracle Workers tv show is a type of anti-Christ, entertainers who mock and ridicule Christ and His church are a type of anti-Christ. Government officials who propose laws that contradict the gospel are a type of anti-Christ, and Pope Francis.

The sins, the sickness of this nation continue to mount. Perilous times await those who have chosen a lifestyle of perversion. The sickness of sin, like a cancer is sweeping across this nation, across all nations that reject the goodness of God while embracing false gods and fake gospels. Keep oil in your lamp, your house (spiritual house) swept clean of trash. The gates of hell are opening wider now. Be aware of the danger of letting down your guard. The church continues to deteriorate rapidly. What once was only a trickle has now become an avalanche of lies, half-truths, hypocrisy...a little leaven has spoiled many loaves. Seeds sown have sprouted, producing a harvest of filth, degradation, depravity and disgrace. Unheard of only a few years ago;  now has become common place.

Do not give place to the devil or his messengers, as angels of light they come to steal, kill and destroy, deceiving many. Do not be among those who are deceived or taken by surprise. Even now, many deceivers walk among you. Be alert, the time is at hand. Wait, watch and pray.

Let your light shine before men that they will see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Do not be concerned with who the anti-Christ will be or at what time the rapture; be about the Father business...bringing the lost sheep home.

 Soon child, very soon...it wont be long now, just a wee bit longer. Stay the course, do not see the circumstances, see Me and rest (comfort, quiet, calm, silence. Hebrew nuach..."wait quietly.") on the promises of God."

The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek Him All his thoughts are, "There is no God." His ways prosper at all times; Your judgments are on high, out of his sight; As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them. He says to himself, "I will not be moved; Throughout all generations I will not be in adversity." Psalm 10:4-6

'You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.' Matthew 10:22
