Sitting in silence gives us opportunity to hear Holy Spirit more clearly, to focus on Him and not the roaring voices of hype and fear or the clanging noise and nonsense of the world. Sitting in silence I have listened and I am learning. Learning is a process, daily we have opportunity to learn and depending upon on what we listen to, that is what we learn. If we listen to news we become informed yet troubled. Let not your heart be troubled. John 14:1 If we listen to praise music we become more peaceful and calm, if we read His word our hope becomes faith and we can stand strong and unshakable.

I have waited to post, waited and prayed, I have listened and hopefully I have learned. Each of us must hear His still small voice for ourselves. Each of us must read and study to show ourselves approved of God, a workman that need not to be ashamed – that we may rightly divide the Word of God. (2Timothy 2:15) Jehovah Elohim desires relationship, fellowship with His children. He is our Father, our Abba and longs to be a part of our lives...but often we are too busy doing to be still and know that He alone is God, that He alone has all the answers and He alone remains in control of this world and all that is within. We must become a part of what He is doing, not be busily making our own plans.  

Since before the election, beginning in early March, Holy Spirit has been speaking: “Days will be so very dark. Reject the voices of evil, reject all that does not line up with My Word.” Repeatedly He spoke, “Darkness will intensify in November.” (this word was given on Sept. 12, 2020) On Sept. 23 He spoke; “Now is the time, now is the hour for men to awaken to the dangers lurking in the shadows, behind locked doors, in plain sight, viewed by those with discernment and godly wisdom. Do not be fooled, awaken to the danger.” His warnings continued. October 24, 2020; “Keep on the narrow road. Keep alert, watchful. Danger approaches but keep your eyes always on Me. Nothing is outside My view. Nothing takes Me by surprise, nothing will happen that I will not use for My glory and the good of My people.” On Nov. 7, 2020 I was instructed to put the blog to rest. Holy Spirit said “stand in faith, pray against vain imaginations. Powers of darkness must flee as you take your position standing in faith believing for miracles. Put the blog to rest. When it is time you will know, the time is not now. Wait on Me.”

Holy Spirit has given me much more since that time. After watching a short clip of the two minutes of silence after the swearing in and before Joe Biden gave his acceptance speech. I ask the reason for the silence. Holy Spirit spoke clearly; “The two minutes of silence was to give each one an opportunity to repent, to acknowledge their sin before Me. I waited but none spoke. Their decision was made, their fate sealed. None will be able to say they did not know, for all knew that day, January 20, 2021 as I spoke to each heart.” As Holy Spirit directs I will share as I am led. Know this; God is in control. Fear not, allow Him to be your peace. “I am aware of all that is going on. Be not dismayed, continue to stand in faith. Praise Me and see My glory and might spread across this nation. Righteousness will prevail, satan is defeated. Stand strong and be amazed.”

 Hitler seemed to win the first few rounds by his shrewd timing and deceptive propaganda aimed at the needs and wants of the masses. "Change" he cried - "Change!"

Faithful pastors were dismissed, arrested, imprisoned in harsh concentration camps. Into the empty pulpits stepped "German Christian" ministers -- handpicked puppets of the state, who preached Nazi ideology that replaced Biblical truth with utopian doctrines cloaked in Scriptural promises.

The people who called themselves Christians fit into three categories:

1. those who would rather face death than deny their Lord;
2. those who delighted in the new positive gospel of Nazi Germany; and
3. the complacent masses who couldn't tell the difference between the two.

From the start, one of the main leaders of a secret Christian resistance movement was the esteemed Pastor Martin Niemoller. His God-given wisdom and gentle strength spread hope and courage to the troubled souls that had counted the cost of resistance and could no longer remain silent or turn back.

In the early years of this intensifying spiritual war, God's soldiers seemed to be losing ground. But under God's sovereign hand, their early "defeats" awakened thousands of complacent Christians to the unthinkable Nazi hatred for God and His ways. This deepening awareness led to an underground fellowship that God used to encourage His faithful people to take their stand in Him, hold fast to His Word, draw strength from His Spirit and, if necessary, be ready to die for His name's sake.

Under Pastor Niemoller's leadership, the movement became known as the Confessional Church. Their beloved pastor was arrested well before World War II began, but his message was multiplied during the dark years of Nazi tyranny through thousands of fellow warriors for Christ.

Today, we do well to remember Pastor Niemoller' sober words ~ "First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionist, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me, there was no one left to speak for me."

...do not allow me to stray from Your commands!

Division and lies, hatred and deception. The government lies in shambles as it tilts at windmills, majors on minors while giving a self-righteous wink and nod to sin. So tell them: 'This is a nation that has not obeyed the LORD their God and has not accepted correction. Faithfulness is nowhere to be found in it. These people do not even profess it anymore.'

Tolerant and accepting, complicit and compromising. The church lies in shambles as it rejects Truth, striving to be all things to all men while giving a self-righteous wink and nod to sin. For the shepherds have become stupid, they do not seek the LORD. Therefore they do not have insight, and all of their flock are scattered. 

Do not be taken in by the size of the congregation, the color of the lights, the smoke the mirrors. Do not allow The Word of God to be compromised by your silence. You trust in lying words that cannot benefit... Do not accept all you hear as gospel, be as the Bereans and balance all things by The Word of God. Darker grow the days; compromise and confusion, godlessness and greed will become commonplace in the church and around the world in days to come. Cast away each of you all worship of God fabricated by carnal appearance and do not defile yourself with idols...I AM the LORD your God. Be alert to the tricks of the evil one. Do not allow the worldly ways of shepherd or sheep to draw you away from God with slick sermons,  melodious music and an easy beliefism that follows the wide road taking all travelers to hell. Do not accept a Christ without a cross.

Do not allow the ways and woes of the world to pull you away from the Glory of God that awaits the children of God.

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?

As darkness descends upon America; how many truly know the cleansing power of JESUS? How many are washed in the blood of the Lamb? How many are trusting in His grace this hour? Or how many are just playing church; experiencing God, trusting in their religion, pious, sanctimonious and lost? The masses reject God, the elite deny God, the government shuns God and the fool says in his heart, 'there is no God.' I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath on the nations which have not obeyed, says the LORD. As good men do nothing the darkness continues to extinguish the light; spilling out across the nations, taking her citizens hostage. For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience.

America, you will not be spared. God' wrath, His fury is even now being poured out upon your nation for the sins of her people have reached the throne room of heaven and God will stand in righteous judgment against you. 

Anguish of soul will not change the outcome. Prayers without repentance will be of no affect for My Word continues to fall on deaf ears. Look and see what surrounds; the unholy, the blasphemous, the godless actions of professing christians and atheist alike.This nation of iniquity has infiltrated the church and now both have brought great disgrace upon themselves while dishonoring God. Those who spurn the goodness of God will have much to regret in days ahead. Your tent pegs have been unhinged; enlarge the site of your tent, stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not hold back. Lengthen your ropes and drive the stakes deep. Your heart responds to a gospel that is not of Me. You worship the golden calf, you worship at the altar of Baal. I will pronounce My judgments on them concerning all their wickedness, whereby they have forsaken Me and have offered sacrifices to other gods and worshiped the works of their own hands. He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has One who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.

I have called yet few have answered, I have spoken but few choose to hear. Self-righteous opportunist stand proclaiming a lie as truth, a response as repentance; spiritualizing heaven, denying hell they seek the approval of men...Stand in the gate of the LORD' house and proclaim there this word saying "Hear the Word of the LORD, all who enter these gates to worship the LORD...Amend your ways and your deeds...do not trust in these deceptive words: This is the temple of the LORD." Our ways are not pleasing to God. Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, go after other gods and offer sacrifices to Baal and walk after other gods that you have not known and then come into this house, which is called by My Name and say, 'we are delivered'....

'I watch what this nation is becoming in horror and with great dismay. In horror, because I see the similarities between the actions we are undertaking, and the actions every empire that crumbled under the weight of its own hubris has taken in the past. With dismay, because it is now evident we have not learned the lessons of those who came before us, and are now doomed to suffer the same fate.' Michael Boldea

How long America, how long church will you remain in darkness? How long will you reject The Word as you embrace the ways of the world? How long will you sit in silence allowing the iniquity, the wickedness, the evil to advance? For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness. He that believes on the Son has everlasting live; and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him.

Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God. In the midst of adversity, when all appears lost and darkness surrounds is thanksgiving the first thought that comes to mind? Prayers remain unspoken as we gossip, doubt, grumble, blame others, kvetch, accuse, but give thanks, pray!?!!!  

But I trust in You, LORD; I say, "You are my God." My times are in Your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies,  from those who pursue me. Let Your face shine on your servant; save me in Your unfailing love. Not so in America; Americans by the millions no longer trust God.  Standing on the sidelies, detached, unresponsive; by their silence supporting abomination, perversion, greed, murder, immorality. Rejecting God this nation stands condemned.  

Radical reprobates who live as enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction...their glory is in their shame, have taken control of America without a shot being fired. This is what the LORD says: ... I have listened attentively, but they do not say what is right. None of them repent of their wickedness, saying "What have I done?" Each pursues their own course like a horse charging into battle. Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift and the thrust observe the time of their migration. But My people do not know the requirements of the LORD. For the LORD our God has doomed us to perish and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against Him. We had hoped for peace but no good has come, for a time of healing but there is only terror. The choice is yours. Will you stand in the gap for the nation? Will you pray, will you repent, will you turn? Will you stand idly by waiting for Donald Trump to "Make America Great Again'? Will you fall upon the Rock that you might be broken, or will the Rock fall upon you that you be crushed?

How many times has 2 Chronicles 7:14 been repeated; all to no avail? IF My people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. How many times must Holy Spirit remind us of our sins and our need to repent and be reconciled to God. Time and time again He has spoken yet America continues to fall further and further from God, embracing evil, refusing to humble themselves, refusing to repent. America, to her shame, continues to stand stiff-necked, proud and far removed from God. 

Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 

The harvest is past, the summer has ended, and we are not saved. 

With humility and thanksgiving for all Abba Father has done for me my heart rejoices. Giving thanks with a grateful heart, receiving His grace, His mercy, His forgiveness, His love. Hearing the still small voice of my God gives me pause; I wondered....What awaits the nation of America? What will befall a nation once so noble so stately, so grand? What will become of a nation that has rejected God at every turn? I shutter to think as I reflect upon the history of God' chosen people Israel. What awaits...?The gentle voice of Holy Spirit spoke; "Romans 11."  'What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did but others were hardened. As it is written: God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear, to this very day.And David says: May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them. May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever. If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this, you do not support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then, branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in. Granted. but they were broken off because of unbelief and you (a professing believer) stand in faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble for if God did not spare the natural branches (Israel), He will not spare you (a Gentile) either. Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God; sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in His kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments and His paths beyond tracing out! Who has known the mind of the LORD? Or who has been His counselor? Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them? For from Him and through Him and for Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen'.What awaits America; I shudder to think.
