Prepare as you praise.  Prepare for these times are not like any you have ever seen, At no other time, at no other place.  The time is near, coming like a giant tidal wave, and My people are not ready. 

All you beasts of the field, come to devour all you beast watchmen are blind they are all without knowledge; they are all silent dogs; they cannot bark,  dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber. The dogs have a mighty appetite; they never have enough. But they are shepherds who have no understanding they have all turned to their own way, each to his own gain, one and all. “Come,” they say, “let me get wine, let us fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow will be like this day, great beyond measure.”  Isaiah 56: 9-12

MY people are soft, weak and fearful. Great falling away is coming for mankind has not heard truth spoken by rabbi, politician, priest or pastor.  And when the shaking comes millions will not know what to believe or who to follow.  Many will follow the liars and the man of lawlessness, the deceiver, anti-Messiah     

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”    John 3:16-21

Powers of darkness. Waiting in the wings, behind closed doors. Remnant...Watch, pray and prepare.

With great expectation await the arrival of the LORD. Have your lamps lit, your light shining and My Glory on your lips and in your hearts. I AM with you. Fear Not!          

Let your light so shine before men, that they my see your good  works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.  Matthew5:16

Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”; before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds return after the rain, in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men are bent, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those who look through the windows are dimmed, and the doors on the street are shut—when the sound of the grinding is low, and one rises up at the sound of a bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low—they are afraid also of what is high, and  terrors are in the way; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along, and desire fails, because man is going to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets—before the silver cord is snapped, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is shattered at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern, and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; all is vanity.  Ecclesiastes 12:1-8

Trust in Me....trust only in Me. “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also. John  14:1-3

Cumi Arise!   Damsel get up! Was the LORD  speaking to one or to many? There are so many opportunities to doubt, question or fear. To become anxious, troubled or depressed. But take heart, what is coming, must come for there is great sin in your nation. It is only when My judgment comes do  men awaken and repent. Know you are in the palm of My hand. Stand strong.  Days speed past.  We must work the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. John 9:4

But you can give thanks with a grateful heart, pray  and praise the LORD!

The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings; they are given by one Shepherd. My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh. The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with very secret thing, whether good or evil. Ecclesiastes 12;11-14

The wind blows to the south and goes around to the north; around and around goes the wind, and on its circuits the wind returns. All streams run to the sea, but the sea is not full; to the place where the streams flow, there they flow again. All things are full of weariness; a man cannot utter it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:6-9

A great shaking is coming...suddenly, but do not be shaken. You have been warned, prepared for what is to come. The remainder of the year will bring much that will bring opportunities to doubt, cower in fear be anxious or confused. Remember My word: 

Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would  I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also. John 14:1-3

We are not called to be brave nor courageous apart from Yeshua or Holy Spirit.  Our hope comes from  the LORD Who made heaven and earth.  Do not expect an easy road, expect burdens, trials, hurt and heartache. The way of the cross is the Via Dolorosa, the way of suffering. 

When Paul and Barnabas had preached the gospel to Derbe and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and  to Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed. Acts 14:21-23

Via Dolorosa was the road chosen for man in The Garden. We must suffer many hardships to enter the kingdom of God and remember:  Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when He is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and He Himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

Do not be deceived, My beloved. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Of his own will he brought us forth by the Woes of Truth.  That we should be a kind of first-fruits of His creatures. James 1:12-18 

Paul overcame, Barnabas overcame, and so can you.

Do not be content to sit on the sidelines of life. Do not allow your age, your bank account, your position limit your ability to serve Me.  I need workers I can trust. You will be used as you continue to yield to My Will, My Word. You have been called for such a time as this. From the beginning you were Mine. Your name in now written in the Lambs book of life. Serve with a glad heart. Allow Me to open doors. Trust you hear My voice when I speak. 

Remember the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions”  It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh. Book of Jude

Cling more tightly to Me. No fear, but abundant faith. Darkness looms, fight the darkness with the Light of the Truth on My Word. All other ground is sinking sand. 

O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive! Walter Scott.  The heart of man is far from the heart of God. My Word they do not hear. Soon this will change, it always does. When trial or tribulation comes hearts will change....for a time.

Pray into what is coming that indeed those wo reach out to Me in the midst of the commotion will find I AM all they need. Prayer is much needed now as never before.

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame! In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline Your ear to me, and save me! Be to me a rock of refuge, to which I may continually come; You have given the command to save me, (Ps. 91) for You are my Rock and my Fortress. Psalm 71:1-3

Remember My Word to you years ago. "Man has no good thoughts, ALL good thoughts come from God." You did not respond then, you must respond now. Don't shrink back, time is not on your side.  Work now and see My glory manifest in ways you have never thought possible. Believe in miracles. Believe in the goodness of God. Believe in God.

These are dangerous times and you must know that I AM all you will need to survive. Not only will you survive, but prosper and thrive in the ways of the LORD. 

There are other options, many more, yet all but one will lead to heartache, worry and woe. Only One is able to make blind eyes see, deaf ears hear, the lame to walk and the breath of My Spirit to sustain. Cling to My Word.

...let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:28-29

Life happens. Sickness, trials, tribulation, setbacks, suffering. Sorrow comes to all. Do not expect that because you are a child of the King  troubles will not come. They come to all for you life in a fallen world. Continue to lean on Me. Trust I AM in control. All will be well.

Do not look at what is happening around the world. Remember, you are living in a fallen world. Look to Me. the Author and Perfector of your Faith. 

Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand...Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts,...Psalm 95:6-8

Remember, together we fight and together we win and believe Me when I tell you, it is a fight to the finish to stand in faith. But I AM here with you and you will be okay. Keep joy in your heart. Allow no unclean thing to rob you of My goodness or My glory.

You are safe in the palm of My hand.

While typing the post, this song kept running through my mind. Here are the lyrics to the song written by  Civilla Martin 1904 and set to music by her husband Walter. 

Be not dismayed whate'er betide,  God will take care of you. Beneath His wings of love abide

God will take care of you.

No matter what may be the test, God will take care of you. Lean weary one upon His breast, God will take care of you.

God will take care of you, through every day or'er all the way,  He will take care  God will take care of you....

And He always will!

Don't judge by what is seen or heard. Get past the senses and look into the heart. There you will see truth. Rejoice in each step taken by others that brings them closer to Me. Don't become irritated or frustrated. Rest, refresh and know that I AM at work in your midst. Again, rest and refresh and rejoice that the Light is becoming brighter for millions. 

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent His only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and His love is perfected in us. 1 John 4: 7-12

Do not be taken in by false teachers who share truth mixed with hype and theory. Trust only in Me. Guard your heart and your mind. Much in months to come will need great wisdom, discernment and  courage to understanding and remember you are not alone.  

In early May I heard...'a great deception is coming to the nations of the world. Millions will swallow the lie and give heed to seducing spirits.' Please pray that the Spirit of Truth will prevail over the lies, liars and seducing spirits of darkness and evil. 

Be alert to the encroachment of darkness. Gathering storms, prepare. Fear not! Be at peace regardless the situation.  I AM the same in the darkness as in the light. Allow the Light, My Light to fill every area of your life, giving no room, no place for evil and the hordes of demonic darkness that spews forth their venom. 

Be on guard, keep awake .For you do not know when the time will come. It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servant's in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows  or in the morning— lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.” Mark 13:33-37

Glorify Me as you glory in My presence and give praise to the One and Only King of the universe. Forever it is written in heaven; I AM God ~ I fail not, nor do I change.  I AM...... Messiah Yeshua....LORD of ALL.

What can be said of a nation that has lost it' moral compass? What can be said of a nation so filled with confusion, bitterness, fear and hatred that good is now evil and evil is now good? We are perhaps at a loss for words, thankful yet wondering how the events of the past weekend were allowed to unfold, killing, shooting innocent citizens, attempting the assassination of a former president?

Life is cheap, our nation' moral compass is broken, we need help and we need God.

2 Chronicles 7:14 give us the requirements for turning our lives and our nation around...

"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, I will forgive their sin and I will heal their land." 

Responses have been telling, it appears much hatred still remains.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 

For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” John 3:6-21

Dreams teach, trials test and stretch, both designed to educate My children, to grow their faith and trust in Me. Difficult days approach. Days not experienced by this generation. Many are not prepared, many will loose their way. As you see difficult days approaching, pray, proclaim, decree and stand strong on the promises of God. 

"All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers and the flower falls, but The Word of the Lord remains forever.” 1 Peter 1:24-25
