Do not allow your light to be extinguished or your voice to be silenced. Much opposition is coming. Stand in My strength and shine your light for the Glory of God. 

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise upon you, and His glory will be seen upon you. Isaiah 60:1-2

Great challenges are coming to My people, My church. Don't back down when opposition comes; now is your time to shine. You have been called for such a time as this. In our own strength we are unable to stand, but in Him we can do mighty works and bring glory, honor and give praise to our King.

...be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:10-12

Afflictions are a part of life. In this world cursed system heartache and trials will be prevalent.  These were determined in the garden at the fall, but My people can live above the fallout of all chaos and conflict. Keep your mind stayed on Me. Live a life based on My Word. For when you do, no chaos nor conflict will shake your foundation for you are built on solid rock,  NOT sinking sand. 

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. Proverbs 3:5-8

Peace...My Word is peace. No hurt, no bitterness....Peace! Keep heart and mind stayed on  Me. Allow no bitterness to gain a stronghold. Guard your tongue, watch what comes from your mouth. Peace is more precious than bitterness. 

Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. John 14:27

Rest and be a peace. Let go...let it go, let all hurt and bitterness go... but learn from it. 

Use it as another opportunity to grow in His Amazing Grace.!!.

Helplessness, hopelessness surrounds My people. My creation groans under the weight of its sin and separation from God. 

I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will put an end to the pomp of the arrogant and lay low the pompous pride of the ruthless. Isaiah 13:11

Obstacles, great obstacles await the nations of the world. Grieve for the nations, grieve for what has been lost due to their rebellion. Grieve that My church has not done more to help the helpless or give hope to the hopeless. 

From the Book of Amos, Chapter 5  "Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the LORD, the God of hosts will be with you...Hate evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate. It may be that the LORD, the God of hosts will be gracious to the remnant...."

Grieve that your nation lies among those who have lost their way and turned their back on Me, grieve that they have turned their back on the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob....the God of Israel. 

...the day is near, the day of the LORD is near; it will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.  It will come, are you ready?

Their hope, their help comes from the LORD who made heaven and earth but the nations of the world care not. The time of judgment has come. so too a time to grieve. (grieve ~  a mixture of Divine indignation against sin and a heartfelt anguish concerning the plight of His creation).

Protests, mayhem, chaos, confusion...the way of the world, the way of darkness. Man has been blinded, unable to see with clarity what is happening. 

Pray for revelation of Truth. The young, the old, the weak, the strong all need the Truth. Pray and proclaim Truth into your nation. Bind the power of darkness, pray against the evil. Share the Truth and shine for great will be your reward when you do.

May God be gracious to us and bless us and make His face to shine upon us, that Your way may be known on earth, Your saving power among all nations. Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You!  Psalm 67

The voice of reason is silenced in marketplace, academia, politics and pulpits. Man has chosen the way of the world. Leaving the safety of My Word they fall prey to wickedness, perversion, strife and sin. 

Lurking in darkness, hidden from prying eyes lies the wealth of the world held by the evil one and his hordes of hell. His power supreme, unchallenged as millions drink from his fountain of filth.

A day of reckoning is coming. A day of worry and woe is ahead for those who have chosen to ignore the signs, the warnings, refusing The Son, Yeshua and His sacrifice, clinging to the world and the wealth of those who have a form of godliness but deny the power. 

I came to divide, wheat from tares, dark from light, good from evil. My ways are not the ways of man. My ways demand commitment to Truth. The world offers choices ~ tolerance, diversity, My way offers eternal life. One choice. My Word or the world?  That is the choice I offer. All other choices offer a dead end with heartache and sorry. Choose life, Choose My Way, Choose Me.

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers, but his delight is in the law of the LORD and on His law he meditates day and night...Psalm 1:1-2 

Much more is coming, much heartache bringing uncertainty, chaos and confusion to millions. It is only by My Word that you will make it through the tough times, navigating the twists and turns that come. Trust in Me, trust in My Word. I will see you through the rough places and bring you to a place of safety. Trust in me to do all I have spoken in My Word.

The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore, the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. Psalm 1:4-6

Turn away. Look ahead, recognize the signs and follow Me!

I will not be mocked, says the LORD. I will not be mocked or rejected by those who should know better. The world, the flesh and the devil have taken a firm hold on millions within your nation and nations around the globe. Cast away into the Glory of My Presence. Refuse to join in the rebellion of others. Keep heart and mind fixed on Me.

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. Galatians 6:7-9

Change will come swiftly...be alert, be prepared but do not be taken in by hollow promises and liberal lies. Continue the call to action. Continue undaunted by all that is going on around you. My plans and purposes will not delay but will come at there appointed time.

If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out...1 Timothy 6:3-7

I have called yet few have answered, I have warned yet few have changed. Now My voice will be louder, longer and with greater force. Keep standing on the promises of God.

“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid. For the LORD God is my strength and my song, and He has become my Salvation. Isaiah 12:2

Be warned, be armed for the battle will be fierce. Rest in Me. Do not see the problem, see what can be through prayer and praise. Do not fail to give Me praise for praise will be water and refreshing to your spirit, soul and body....

Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty heavens. Praise Him for His mighty deeds. Praise Him according to His excellent greatness! Praise Him with trumpet sound, praise Him with lute and harp! Praise Him with tambourine and dance. Praise Him with strings and pipe. Praise Him with sounding cymbals. Praise Him with loud clashing cymbals. Let everything that has breath PRAISE THE LORD!!!  Psalm 150

Escalation, conflict, war... Make much of your time with Me for the days ahead are fraught with evil. Darkness on many fronts. Nation will rise against nation. It has already begun, but will become more intense as the year progresses. 

Fear not you who belong to Me. Watch, pray and live in My Presence, My Peace, My Promises and rest in My Amazing Grace, Mercy and Love. 

Say to those who have an anxious heart, Be strong; fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance with the recompense of God. He will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Isaiah 35:4-5

My Word is filled with provision, promises, peace love and joy. The world is filled with poison, broken promises and worthless platitudes. You are in the world, but a child of God is not of the world. 

I have watched and I have waited. Still the darkness continues to spread; hatred, violence, chaos, confusion injustice, evil, lies... My hand is lifted; lifted to redeem, lifted to judge. Each must choose, time is very short. Tribulation is coming, look around and see; oppression, suffering, woe have already begun. Be aware, do not be taken in by the trappings of the world. Be on your guard do not be overcome by the darkness.  Grow closer to Me as each day passes. Grow in My wisdom and My strength. Grow in the knowledge of Who I AM and what will be after the fall.

God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as He is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. We love because He first loved us...1 John 4:17-19

Man will fall, hearts not joined with Mine will experience great anxiety in days and weeks ahead. My plans and purposes are to revive the fallen. To bring release to those bound in the darkness, prisons, chains of their own making. 

Rejoice and be glad. Ring bells in praise for all God has done. He calms the raging seas, and brings peace in the midst of the storms. Nothing can come against the children of God that He is not able to counter with a swipe of His hand or a Word from The Word. We are safe in the palm of His hand. Choose this day whom you will serve. 

Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flocks be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stall, YET (still), I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my Salvation! God, the LORD is my strength. Habakkuk 3

Know My Word. My Word must become your lifeline. 

Be imitators of God, as beloved children. and walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:1-2

Don't turn back, don't doubt or fear. All My promises are yes and AMEN in Yeshua. Cling to what you know to be truth, trust none other. All other ground is sinking sand. Watch over My Word to perfect it in your heart. Do not assume you know My Word.....'know' My Word. Bury it deep in your heart and in your mind. Many things that are coming will bring great deception to millions. KNOW My Word and stand in My Truth. 

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:15-17

Confusion, misspeak...challenges in media, academia, religion and government. Evil sits atop a very high throne as he, ha satan, oversees his demonic empire. His days are numbered and this he knows very well and acts accordingly. The great and glorious God has ordained these times and challenges that must come to many nations of the world. The time of great apostacy has begun. It slithered in under the cover of darkness and took up residence within the hearts and minds of millions. Darkness grabs many hearts. Hearts that do not know My heart, hearts that do not know My Son. 

Dark grows the days ahead. You are called to be a light in the darkness. Shine child of God. Shine for My glory rests upon you. Allow My Word to be your guide. Do not expect all to join you in your journey of faith, but you do not journey alone. Choose wisely! Times are rough, evil is spreading and you must stand strong against the forces of darkness.  Pray, petition and stand strong. These are the days of Elijah.....and you must declare the Word of the LORD.

...the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Romans 13:11-12

Through the actions of man, ha satan moves and through the actions of Almighty God ha satan will be removed.

The pledge of allegiance declares America  is 'one nation under God..."  but what god?  

Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming. In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,  free; but Christ is all, and in all. Colossians 3 

What has taken the place of God in your life? Possessions, politics, position, perversion. What occupies your heart and your mind?  In Isaiah 26 we read:  "You (LORD) keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." Do you have perfect peace? Is your mind stayed on Him or has the world and all it offers clouded your mind to the things of God and now you dwell more on worldly woes rather than His Wonderful Word?

Spend time praying. There is little time for trivial pursuits. My Will, My Way is being ignored, lost among the clamor of the world and all it offers. Spend time reading My Word for therein you will not only find guidance and instruction in righteousness but also peace of mind. Spend time on those things with eternal rewards, those things that have eternal purposes. Many things the world offers do not profit. We must be discerning, seeking God to know the false and fake from the truth and righteousness of God.

The fire of My Glory will fill the hearts and minds of My saints. You will see My Glory manifest even in the midst of chaos, confusion, lies and liars. I AM will not abandon My people. Together we will triumph against ha satan and his ilk. Do not abandon your post, do not grow weary or disillusioned. (In Bible reading this week Holy Spirit illuminated the last line in Isaiah 37:4 to me: "lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left). Sobering words since, at least to me, this indicated that some of the remnant has become weak, weary; fed up and just gave up. 

The LORD is clear: My Ways are not your ways, nor your ways My ways. We must walk by faith in our LORD God and King and trust that He does indeed know what He is doing. More will fall. Those who have cursed Me and My people will fall. None will escape My Word. Expect the mighty to fall. Those who stand against My people, My will and My ways. 

See beyond the natural into the spiritual. I am doing a great work in the nations of the world. My Word will not be silenced! As children of The King, rise to the occasion, stand strong. Declare My Glory, be bold, courageous, faithful. See with spiritual eyes and be amazed. Declare, decree His righteousness His justice into every situation surrounding you, your family, your state, your nation. Speak into every circumstance His Word.  Take the sword of the Spirit and decree His will will be done on earth as it is done in heaven!!!

Live in expectation of the coming of My Glory into your life.

We must walk by faith and shout victory even in the midst of trials, tribulation, setbacks and sanctions. Never give up and never give in to the powers of darkness.  We win in the end.

..let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the LORD Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 3

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness...Romans 1

Many nations of the world have taken a stand against God. Evil abounds, darkness designed to remove all light from the lives of the people who have taken all the world has to offer, and desire even more grips tightly the soul of the nation. Willingly surrendering sovereignty, freedom, peace and godliness; millions embrace perversion, lies, liars; going from bad to worse. Deceiving and being deceived. 

Pray into My plans and purposes; seek Me for guidance, wisdom, discernment and strength to endure the onslaught of evil that is coming to America and other nations of the world. Time, much time has been given to those who grope in darkness, time to repent to turn away from sin and follow God yet still millions remain distant, disengaged, defiant and disinterested.

What will it take for the nations of the world to turn? What must happen before you see what has befallen your nation and seek Me? What must occur before you repent of your sins, recognize the sin in your life, in your nation and seek forgiveness found only in the Person of Christ Jesus the LORD?

America needs God. America needs God more than at any other time in her history. We are in a spiritual battle for the souls of man.  Look around, see how far your nation has fallen from God and His Word. Hard words, but these are hard days and will continue to get harder and harder as 2024 moves ahead. Do not be content with the common, accepted or easy ways of the world. Do not attempt to fight spiritual battles with carnal weapons. (see Ephesians 6) Be challenged to go higher, to embrace more of God' Word, more of God' ways. 

Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that He has made to dwell in us”? But He gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. James 4

Darkness has enveloped the entire world in chaos and confusion. The stage is being set, players have begun to take their position. Each knows their assignment, each has been well trained in the art of deception, chaos and confusion while My people perish for lack of knowledge.

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3
