But God demonstrates His own love for us in this; while were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’ wrath through Him! For if, while were were God’ enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life! Romans 5

How great is our God – His mercies are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness. Truth? My Word is Truth! Others are a shadow of truth, a mist, a fog. Do not get wrapped up in the affairs of man. My children are called to come up higher with Me. Leave the cares of the world behind and journey into My world.

In quiet moments I speak. Hear Me in the quietness. Listen for My voice to counsel and provide wisdom and discernment for the task I am calling you to. I will direct your steps. Listen and learn. Weakness, fickle hearts will soon feel the impact of My Word to bring healing. Hope restored, lives once shattered will be mended. A great Presence of My Spirit will awaken those who have slumbered. This is a time to rejoice for what I AM will do. Indeed these are great days for My people. The righteous will rejoice and be glad.

Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, but the Word of the LORD remains constant, unchanged, trustworthy, faithful and true. My children have nothing to fear for the constant truth of My Word will guide and provide all you will need in days ahead. Darkness will come, indeed is already here. I AM is the Light that will shine brightly to expel the darkness. With heavy hearts look up and see the glory of your God. It is not for you to fear or speculate, but to trust and believe in the goodness of God.

Shaking, shattering, surrendering. These are the steps of revival. Do not be alarmed by what you see, what you read, or what you hear in days ahead. Know and recognize My Word in your nation. Be not alarmed by it all, but rejoice that I AM is doing a work of restoration as I bring shaking, shattering and surrendering to the hurting, the hopeless and the rebel; believing themselves to be rebels with a cause they are lost amid the lies of the world. I will seek and I will save. (a good place to pause and read Jeremiah 26).

Persevere! Hold fast to your confession of faith. Fear not! Things are not as they appear.

The LORD’ justice will dwell in the desert, His righteousness in the fertile field. The fruit of that righteousness will be peace; it’ effect will be quietness and confidence forever. My people will live in peaceful dwelling places. 

(Be encouraged as you read all of Isaiah 32 and Isaiah 34. Both accompanied this post given by Holy Spirit to the body to encourage, strengthen and bring peace to the troubled soul).

The time has come. Empires are beginning to crumble, wickedness exposed, darkness defeated. Satan overplayed his hand and has been caught in his own trap. Those who have long served this taskmaster will fall. The enemies of righteousness will be defeated. It will not go well for those who fight against Me. You will see the goodness of God pour forth upon America. Continue to stand in the gap, continue to hold your position. Declare a great awakening is coming. Your prayers are being answered. Keep your eyes on Me.!. The battle belongs to the LORD.

 For who has known the mind of the LORD, or who has been His counselor? Or who has given a gift to Him that he might be repaid? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever. Amen (Romans 11)

Great expectations, unexpected blessings. Assurances from the throne room of God. Assurances that America belongs to God. Continue to pray, continue to praise, continue to expect the goodness of your God to be poured out upon this nation. Not for any good that you have done, but for My honor, My glory says the LORD. To show forth My power to a generation that has forgotten their God. I have heard the prayers of My children, I have seen their tears and repentant hearts. I will heal, I will deliver, I will restore.

Execute justice in the morning, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed, lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn with none to quench it, because of your evil deeds.’ (Jeremiah 21)

My anointing breaks the yoke. Do not be bound up in the affairs of the world, do not lean on your own understanding or the words of man. Your trust must be in Me, The Creator of heaven and earth.. Nothing is outside My control. Man may make his plans, but My ways, My will always rule in the affairs of men. Always.

Great days are coming to your nation; but the journey will be rough. The road filled with debris from past failures and fearless opposition. Powers of darkness continue to hold your nation tightly in their grasp. Millions sink further into an abyss of evil from which many will not escape. Daily My Spirit woos, daily He is ignored, rejected, ridiculed and shamed. Revival? Yes Revival;  but after much destruction. It will not come without a fight.

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)

Satan will not give up easily. The end is close, but not yet. Understand there is much work to be done before the closing of the final pages of history. America has not listened to men of God. America has gone her own way – chosen her own path and now America is reaping what she has sown.

Shake, shatter, surrender; steps to revival. America has lost her first love. Times of rejoicing after the season of despair. I AM is doing a new thing; you would not believe it even if I told you. My ways are perfect, all I do is perfection. This past year has been for purging, to separate sheep from goats. America is at the center of what I AM is doing to bring in the harvest across the globe. America will prosper, America will shine. God will indeed be great once again in America. Keep standing on the promises of God.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, lean not 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 3:6)

Where are they who are ashamed of the abominations which they have committed? No shame at all; none even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen, when I punish them, THEY WILL COLLAPSE says the LORD. Stand at the crossroads and look. Ask for the ancient paths, seek the good way, then walk in it and you will find rest for your souls.

But millions are saying: “We will not walk in the ways of the LORD. We will follow our own ways, make our own rules, govern ourselves, rejecting what is goodness and light all the while embracing what is dark, destructive and evil. I the LORD appointed watchmen over you and said, “Listen for the sound of the ram’ horn.” Actions speaking louder than words. The rams horn sounded warnings, Truth continually speaks from The Word of God yet millions in defiant rebellion and arrogant pride refuse to listen. 

Worship the Lord, serve Him with reverent awe-inspired fear and submissive wonder. In trembling, rejoice in the goodness of your God. If a man or woman, young or old do not repent, God will sharpen His sword, string His bow and make it ready. “Vengeance is Mine says the LORD, I will repay.” Let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end. Try the hearts and minds of the righteous, LORD. Establish us in right standing with You.

But you kings, judges, presidents, prime ministers, rulers of the earth; act wisely. Be instructed and take warning. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge. But arrogant fools despise godly wisdom, instruction and self-discipline. Because in them there has been no change of heart. Because they do not fear God, He will hear the prayers and cries of His people and humble the proud, the haughty the rebellious deceiver. He who sits enthroned from old, sees all, hears all and knows all.

Tremble in fear of God, seek to serve Him. Meditate in your heart upon your bed. Be still and learn His ways. Reflect on your sin and repent of your rebellion. Our shield and our defense depend on God Who saves the upright in heart. (Scripture references from Jeremiah 6, and The Psalms)

Let us celebrate our independence, our liberty, our freedom this July 4^thBUT never take it for granted.

"The Word is near, in your mouth, in your heart. The Word, the message, the basis of faith; for those with ears to hear and hearts to receive it is near. It is near because, if you will acknowledge and confess with your mouth that Jesus is LORD, if you will recognize His power, His authority His majesty as God AND believe in your heart that God raised JESUS from the dead, God’ promise to all who will believe and receive is eternal life. With the heart each person must believe in Jesus as Christ and Saviour; a belief that frees from the guilt of sin and makes one acceptable to God and then speak aloud acknowledging, confessing faith in Jesus openly, confirming their salvation, their true change of heart, their salvation by faith alone in Christ alone His Word is Truth, that “Whoever calls on the Name of the LORD will be saved.” (paraphrase of Romans 10)

Charles Spurgeon wrote: The children of this world are wise in their generation. Their policy may be short-sighted and their stratagems crooked, nevertheless the world admires the wisdom of their counsel, and makes light of the craftiness of their projects. In their opposition to the Christian church, the men of the world might certainly have been as well able to outwit her by the variety of their maneuvers as to overwhelm her by the force of their numbers, were it not that there is an unseen One in her midst, who is more than a match for the guile of their hearts and the might of their hosts.

It breaks my heart when I realize that it is those called by His Name who are the greatest hindrance to the spreading of the gospel message. For every true Bible believing Blood bought believer, for every follower of Jesus Christ there are scores that are Christian in name only; but we are not without hope:

There are billions of ‘professing Christians’ in the world, but the true church is small compared to the number professing a biblical faith with little or no evidence to back up their claims. But the church does exist - Jesus promised... “I will build My church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it.” We must keep witnessing, sharing and standing on the promises of God.

Don’t hide your heart of hurt from Jesus. Don’t allow guilt from the past to rob you of a victorious future. Don’t allow the crafty deceit of the world to blind you to Truth. But you might say “you don’t know what I’ve done;” and you would be correct. I don't know, but God does and He made forgiveness available even before you sinned. He has done His part, the rest is up to you.

"My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,' says the Lord.'For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9

We claim faith in Jesus the Christ. We stand with voices raised heavenward singing, “Standing on the promises of God,” we glibly quote scripture and encourage our neighbors and friends to ‘only believe’. Yet, when we are confronted with trials and testing, when our own world appears to crumble beneath us, we cry in agony, race to the doctor, grab a pill or call a friend to listen to our woes.

We generally feel sorry for ourselves, while bemoaning the unfairness of our circumstance we fail to remember the words of the Psalm - "Be still [cease striving] and know [remember] that I AM God."

While this may be natural, we were not chosen of God to be natural, we were chosen by God, 'out of the world', a new creation in Him - called to be a supernatural people. We all too quickly panic rather than praise and all too soon forget:

“In all [these] things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.”
[Romans 8:37]

Scripture tells us -

“Endure hardship as discipline. God is testing you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?” [Hebrews 12:7]

Again, scripture tells us -

“Consider it all joy when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” [James 1:1-4]

We are powerless in and of ourselves. We read in Habakkuk, ‘it is The LORD God who is our strength. It is He who makes me walk on high places.’

We are admonished to never forget - ‘we are not to conform to this world [the natural] but be transformed by the renewing of our mind [supernatural] so that we might prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.’ [Romans 12:2]

 I love You O LORD, my strength.” The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and the One who rescues me; My God, my rock and strength in whom I trust and take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower my stronghold. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; and I will be saved from my enemies. Psalm 18

“The heart of The Hunter, the hunter of lost souls is grieved. I yearn to redeem yet My righteous ones continue in rebellion and unbelief, standing with the world but not with My Word. Days are getting shorter not longer. Time is slipping away and still tens of millions are not ready, they will not listen, they refuse to learn. My Spirit will not always strive with man.”

The vision was clear, so too was the message. A twisted tree stood before me, a tree whose limbs were gnarled and knobbly, it appeared to be dead. I looked closer and saw a few green leaves hung from the limbs of the sad looking little tree. As I continued to stare at the tree, Holy Spirit spoke: “This is My Church. Starved for nutrition and water, struggling to live.” Holy Spirit went on the explain spiritual nutrition was The Word and water the Holy Spirit. He then ask: “What will happen to My people if the church dies? Where will the lost among you go for Truth if the tree dies? My church must have The Word and The Spirit to survive. My church must not be allowed to die.

A clarion call has gone forth to My people. Advance, go forward. Do not resist the call of Holy Spirit. I AM coming for a people who have washed their garments in the blood of Salvation, JESUS God’ Son. Learn to listen. Learn to hear My still small voice. I will speak many things – listen and learn. Come boldly to My throne room. You are a child of the King (if you have yet to make the decision to pick up your cross and follow Him as your King, wherever He leads, NOW is the time. It’s more than just ‘say a little ‘prayer’ it’s a life long commitment to TRUST in the goodness of God).

Come to your Father in faith, knowing He hears you when you cry.”

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3

 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold….

But you have allowed My house to become a den of thieves, a place haunted by past failures, fear has griped the hearts and minds...no peace can be found.

As the powers of darkness gained more control over your lives, fear gripped your heart, doubts crowded into your mind. “Where is God" you cried as mask mandates and lockdowns became the law of the land….and you bowed to the spirits of darkness that were taking your nation captive. But God would say to those with ears to hear:

You O nations of the world, have rejected Me, it is not I who rejected you. It is you who chose another, a wider path to follow, another god to serve. The ways of the world; the lust for comfort, ease and position have been your downfall.

But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear that Name. For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God, and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who disobey the gospel of God. And if it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner...1 Peter 4:16-18

It will be well with your soul. Times of refreshing will come for My children IF you will stand in the midst of uncertainty knowing that I AM is at work among you, fear not, and believe your times are in My hand.

It is time for rejoicing for the child of God. Miracles will overpower the mayhem, My Word will stand in power and strength. Now is not the time to cower in fear, but a time to become embolden in strength and determination. A time to take a stand and continue to believe “I AM WHO I AM” Exodus 3:14. Great days await My children. Great will be the peace of those that belong to Me.

Look beyond what is to see what can be. Great pearls of wisdom, great words of truth will soon be poured out upon America and around the world. Many will see and believe, many more will scorn and reject the Son of God. It must be but My plans will not be destroyed by criticism or unbelief. 

Revival will come, but not in the way many have expected; but come it will. My hand will be upon My people. My remnant will be strong, grow in knowledge and spread the gospel giving birth to reformation, repentance and revival. My church must be cleansed. This is My perfect will – restoration and revival. It will come.
