HAVE YOU TRAINED YOUR SENSES TO KNOW THE TRUTH?


Sept. 9, 2020

34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. Matt. 10

12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4<
br>
Don't think that I've come to bring peace upon the earth. For no, I tell you, that your foes will be those even in your own households. Your foes will be those who know you not. These are those who are not aware of the struggles that many of you face. For indeed, a great separation is underway.

For the sheep are being separated from the goats. For the last of days is upon you. It will become plainer and plainer who is for Me and who is against Me. You must hold fast to that which is true. For many will come in my name claiming that they are the Christ. This will be a time when many even the elect, will be deceived. I have warned you about this ahead of time.

And what will be the end for those who have been deceived about these things? For how will they return to that which they came from? For your senses need to be trained not only to discern between evil and good, but also between half-truths and lies.

How will you know when the truth comes when you cannot distinguish now? For when the great deceiver, the one doomed for perdition, comes to the forefront more and more, will you recognize him then? For then it may be too late; then you may not be able to train your senses. For at that time there will be no turning back."

DO NOT SEEK THE ANCIENT WRITINGS OF DEAD POETS OR MEN


9/13/2020

22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; Acts 17

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Colossians 2:8

"Do not seek the ancient writings of dead poets or men that have sought to find their answers by other streams of consciousness. For while there is wisdom to be found there, it can not be compared to the pure and holy stream that comes from my throne. For truly, men have sought to find their answers in the ancient writings of the Greeks, and while there is a form of wisdom there, in the end it is hollow and without form.

Did not Paul preach to the Greeks at the hill in Athens? For truly, he was trained and could debate with any man, and yet he found the truth embodied in my Son. There are many books written down through the ages that speak of wisdom and truth, and in turn, they may show forth as a garden, or even a flower that may bloom, and even capture the attention by some of their beauty, but they are just writings. But the words found in my Holy Word speak forth truth and also 'life.'

It is one thing to speak forth truth, but if that truth does not have any life in it, then it is empty and devoid of what I would breath into it. For you see, the same is also true of those who create things that would in turn be worshiped. For a wooden or a stone thing, cannot in itself give forth life. It is made out of the earth, and it is a manufactured thing.

Seek those things that would bring forth life. "

I LOOK UNTO THE HILLS


9/19/2020

121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. Psalm 121

"Would you seek Me with your whole heart and mind, would say the Lord? Would you find Me in the cities along the byways? I have said to the psalmist David, 'From where does my help come from--it comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.' And yet he also said, 'I looked unto the hills, from where does my help come from?'

The king was earnest in his prayers, for he knew where his help came from. For the many battles that he fought, and the people in his kingdom who had stood against him, he needed my help. If you seek Me you will find Me; Truly, even beyond the written page, I AM found there waiting for you to come to Me.

Men have sought Me though many means, and yet it is a very simple thing. For truly, Elijah found Me in the cave but it was only in that still, small voice that I was found. I AM not far off as many would think, for I dwell with those who are meek and lowly of heart.

Your churches are filled with many things; for there is the sound of music that can be heard in those walls, and yet much is done through the ordinances of man that would honor those who preach good sermons and make a display of their gifts before men. What will you do when you are no longer able to worship there? Where will you run to on that day? For the entire world will be taken over by the beast system.

Oh no you say, 'I will be raptured out before these things come.' But have I not said that he that endures unto the end will be saved? You are not here to build your own kingdoms, but you are to discern the times in which you now live.
But I will give grace to those who come to Me. I will sustain those who endure unto the end.

YOU WILL NEVER RETURN TO WHENCE YOU CAME AMERICA


9/24/2020

14 For the body is not one member, but many.15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 1 Cor. 12

“And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.” Luke 5:31

"You will never return to whence you came America. For throughout all your annals of time you have fought wars and you have recovered. But now you have entered into a time when your institutions are fractured at their very base. Your ruthless leader would demolish everything that stands in his way.

You once were held in high esteem, but now the nations mock and ridicule you. A wrecking crew comes in to demolish an old house so that a new one may be built. But not so with one whose walls and floors were already sound. For once you were a Republic, once your shores welcomed many to come to the land of opportunity, but now they would come to a prison.

For the old is being made for the new. The old guard is being made obsolete. You have fallen oh land, and the cancer has spread. Would that you had realized this earlier, perhaps then it would not have spread so far. But a skillful surgeon can perform an operation to find the tumor. But once it has spread the disease affects the entire body.

If your eye offends you then it is better to pluck it out; but the body is made up of many members, and when one part suffers, so it affects the entire body. One must rid itself of the disease; one must find the origin.

But even now if I were to perform surgery, you would lose a limb. And yet would it not be better to be disabled in one part, rather than to remain in bed waiting for your death sentence?"

DON'T FALL PREY TO THOSE WHO CONJECTURE ABOUT MANY THINGS

10/3/2020

1 Corinthians 14:33 “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”

11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Acts. 17

"This is not the end as some may think. For there are many things yet that will come. This present virus will pale in comparison to the one that will come. The most important thing that you can do is to develop a spirit of endurance.

For if you can ride the storm out then no matters what comes, you will be found secure. Don't fall prey to those who conjecture about a myriad of different things. For there are many that are vying for attention in this hour. Set your feet upon solid ground and don't be swayed by this report or that one; for then you will only become confused.

You should know who the author of confusion is; for this is how he operates. Be sure to research before you make a statement about something, for many follow flimsy arguments thinking that they are right about almost everything.

A man who would build a house has a blueprint, and this serves as a guide for him. You have at your disposal the book of life; use it well. But don't twist my words for your own agenda. -You must be able to discern between truth and falsehood---for sometimes it is a thin line. But once you venture into falsehood then the territory becomes cloudy. And yet truth is like a prism, for its light is reflected on all its edges."

WHAT CAN BE SAID ABOUT A NATION?



10/10/2020
He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor. Proverbs 14:31
23 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:3 Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause. Exodus 23

"What can be said about a nation? What can be said about a land that has strayed so far from Me? What can be said about a people who fight and pick at every morsel and dispute over the smallest of things?

For many of you have forsaken the poor; you lift up the privileged ones instead. Your land is divided over so many things. And yet your land was founded about finding a place where all could live in safety. But now greed and selfishness has forged its way among you.

You will be thrown into a tailspin in the coming weeks; and then the weeks following this event, will begin to usher you into the very last of days. For you will be held accountable for everything that you have done, oh land.

Stephen Hanson

YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE USHERED INTO A DIFFERENT TIME PERIOD



10/15/2020
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. Matt. 10

32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment. 1 Chronicles

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Revelation 21

"Difficult days ahead...The next few months will begin to usher in that time period that many refer to as 'The Great Tribulation.' For things will never return back to the way they were before. For violence will be met upon the streets--brother will hate brother, and sister will hate mother. Those who are your enemies, will be those who are in your own household.

You will be ushered into a different time period. Those who follow after Me must continue, and they need to 'ramp-up' their vigilance. But you will also see a great falling away, for some even now, are beginning to lose their 'first love.' Watch and wait, and see how the powers-that-be start to bring about a ripping apart of the very fabric of your very lives.

I have been holding back some of things until the proper time, but the prophetic table has now been ushering forward. Go to your prayer chambers and pray like you've never prayed before, because you will need to be prepared. For I have said that if possible, even the very elect could be deceived. You need your blinders to be taken off. For many of you have 'cloudy vision.' Your glasses have a film upon them. Without clarity how will you see ahead? The very one who would take your rights and privileges away from you is right in front of you, and yet you can not even see it!

Where are the sons of Issachar? Where are those who could discern the times? No... even some that did have eyesight, now have exchanged their vision for their popular 'Christian' talk shows. But to those who would see, I would say to buy salve from Me; exchange your vision for heavenly vision. Then perhaps you will see past the hills and the mountains that are in front of you. Then you will see past the sphere that you currently live on.

You don't need to 'stock-up' on guns or food supplies. And yet 'stocking-up' on prayer will be your greatest commodity. Those who hoard upon earthly things are those who put their faith in the things of man rather than upon Me.
I will see you through these days, my people, but it will not be time as usual. For some of you will be beaten and thrown into jail, while many lose their belongings. But remember how I fed Elijah by the brook? I sustained him through the help of the ravens. I will come at your time of need, and I will sustain you.
For you will see Me face-to-face on that day. I will come and take you to abide with Me forever. And then the powers-that-be will be destroyed, and new heavens and a new earth will come.

I will hasten these things, sayeth the Lord."

Stephen Hanson

ARE YOU READY FOR THE FINAL CURTAIN CALL?



10/20/2020

12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4

"Are you ready for the final curtain call? For the actors are assembled and the stage is set. How will the final scene play out? Who will be the protagonist and who will be the antagonist? For surely, the story will play out and yet who will get the applause?

For as it is written, 'I have scattered your enemies abroad let them also that hate him flee before him.' But indeed, the one doomed for perdition will in the final analysis, wreck havoc upon those in his midst.

For the wind will blow across this land and in its fury, it will expose the thoughts and intentions of those who are caught-up in its maelstrom. For this is a time of testing, my people. Use this time to examine your hearts. Use this time to enter into reflection concerning the powers that be that have arisen in this hour. Will you be ready when the Son of Man comes? Will I find your heart ready? Indeed, will I find you brandishing your sword or instilling peace with others? I would not have you pursue peace at any cost, but that you would attempt to use those things that you have at your disposal for furthering growth and good will among your own.

For indeed, this is a time when the enemy is knocking at the door, and he would have you open that door for confusion and disruption. You should know by now that he is the father of lies. But once you swallow his lies then bit by bit those lies become a part of you. Then the time will come when those lies will become the truth to you.

Have you been able to distinguish between the lies and the truth in this hour, or have those lies now entered into your system and become a part of your makeup? In time, a person can feed those lies and then the food that they partake, becomes a part of their regular diet.

But to those who have trained their faculties to know the difference between truth and lies, then those abilities are strengthened. "

Stephen Hanson

YOU WILL BE THRUST INTO A WHIRLWIND



10/25/2020

4 They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.5 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?6 For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. Hosea 8

"This nation will be thrust into a whirlwind for this is the time for the culmination of all things. Your king has done as he has pleased, for he cares little about the natural plight of the people. Your people will be thrust into a whirlwind.

Who are those prophets who have sat at my feet? Where are they that have promised such great things to come? You are not unlike the Hannaniahs of the past. For many have spoken things from their own hearts. Their words are birthed in an allegiance to the king. For many of you have allowed patriotism to be revered rather than to Me.

People will run to and fro looking for answers, and many will wonder about their plight. The one who has promised such great things only thinks of himself. For the pride of life and greed is his mainstay.

You have become the laughing stock of the world; for once you were held in high esteem, but now it is dishonor. Ruthlessness has become the main order of the day. Where have the Lincolns gone to and where is the man who would honor the poor and the underprivileged?

For you will enter into that time period of the last days when trials and tribulations will come at you from every corner. The almighty dollar will fail and men and women will grab their breasts in fear because of what is happening around them. For you have believed a lie, and have trusted in man and not in Me.

But I still have a people who have trusted in Me. I still have ones who have grabbed a hold of my robe. For many have not followed after the one. I have a people who have prepared for these days--they know of the time and the hour. They have not prepared with food and water, but they have filled their lamps with oil.

For the books will be opened and the page will be turned. You will see these things come. And then after all of the horrendous things that are coming, you will be with Me. I will take you through these days, my people. I will not leave you fatherless. My rod and my staff they will comfort you. But you must endure unto the end.

I will take you to be with Me, and I will protect you under my wing. These are the days that have been prophesied about. These are the days that have been spoken about in my word. Be ready, sayeth the Lord."

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Matt. 24

Stephen Hanson

WHAT WILL BECOME OF YOU OH LAND?



10/31/2020

2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thess. 2

"What will become of you oh land? Where will you be in another year or two? For the powers that be have been working against you oh land. You were once held in honor among the nations, but now you have become a laughing stock. You have drifted far from my original purpose.

(The Spirit of the Lord showed me a scene of a man that was talking. He was dressed in a fine suit and every time he spoke or moved, he was like a puppet. For above him were strings attached that kept track of his movements and caused him to speak and act in a certain way. Then the scene changed and huge waves of water came and it washed over the people. Many of the people were gasping for breath and most were washed under the great waves that had come. The scene changed again and now as the waves began to recede, people had their heads bowed down as if in homage to someone. They began to look up and I noticed that the one they were looking at was the man dressed in a fine suit. I knew who he was. Then the scene faded.)

THE TABLES HAVE TURNED



11/8/2020

3 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: 2 A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; 3 A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away; 7 A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak; 8 A time to love, And a time to hate;A time of war,And a time of peace. Ecc. 3

"The tables have turned and the one who has spoken so loudly has been brought low to the ground. Who would stand in my presence to know the truth? Many have prophesied falsely about the king, and some still think that he will win; but kings rise and fall at my command.

You will have a time of momentary peace, but the winds are changing. Woe to those who have spoken falsely in my name. Woe to those who manufacture their own words. You are a divided land, oh America. You have been a city set upon a hill, but that light has dimmed in recent years.

But will you come together again? Will you put your grievances aside and work together under the banner of love, or will you bite and devour one another? The land can be healed but many would not allow it to be.

There are still dark days ahead even though there has been a changing of the guard. It is now time to regroup at my throne. Come to Me with an open heart and put aside your grievances.

But will you come to Me, says the Lord? Instead you will follow your own mandates rather than mine. You must leave the golden calf behind, for you honored him more than Me. You have made your president into an idol, and for that reason among many more, he is left groveling in the dust.

You can jirate and jump up and down and declare your king is still the king; but the decision has been made. "

Stephen Hanson

MANY HAVE FALLEN PREY TO THE GOLDEN CALF


11/10/2020

3 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; 9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was. 2 Timothy 3

"Don't kid yourselves, these are perilous time. Don't think that the world around you will get easier, for you are being ushered into the very last of days. Don't think that I will loosen the cords; for I have all of these things under my hands.

I tell you that much of Christendom has been deceived. For many have fallen prey to the golden calf. Many even among my prophets, are deceived, for they have made your king into an idol. They are blinded by their own fervor. But the time will come when their eyes are opened.

For the new year will come and yet what will have happened to your present state of affairs? Will you have strengthened your grasp on the results that you are so eager to get? Or will you have lost in your attempts to these things in your favor?

Do you not know that I AM in control of all these things? Many of you are acting like children in a playpen. You are knocking on the door and yet what you ask to be done is something of your own making. But those who ask 'according to my purposes' will receive those things that they have asked.

When will you grow up and act like adults rather than spoiled teenagers? "

Stephen Hanson

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THOSE WHO USED TO SPEAK THE TRUTH?



11/17/2020

“And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.17 They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it? Jeremiah 23

"What has happened to those who used to speak the truth? What has happened to some who used to sit before Me to listen to Me? You are a nation that was built upon your forefathers mandates and rules. You were a people that extended love to others. You used to extend love to the foreigner, and yet now still at this very moment, children are still in cages. They came seeking asylum, but then they were separated from their parents.

You have drifted far from the shore. No longer are you the apple of my eye. You are split right down the middle. You spew hatred toward one another; and you still call yourselves my sons and daughters! Indeed you are, but now discipline is in order. For you will enter yet into another war, and this one will be your own making.

You would pursue war with others, when in the past you attempted peace. Your entire system of government is at stake, for in its fragility it gives into the whims and ordeals of another.

Your prophets have become complicit and they shout allegiance to a despotic leader. You are weak and have become fragile. What is the flag that you wave in front of you? In your great zeal you have thrown those things to the wind. What revelation would you seek in this hour? Would you storm the courts of heaven for truth, or would you sit idly by while everything is falling apart around you?

But I would say that even though the hour is very late you can still turn from your maladjusted revelations. Truth would pour forth like a river and flow down into your innermost parts.

Thus would say the Spirit of the Lord."

Stephen Hanson

WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN EVERYTHING AROUND YOU IS FALLING APART?



11/22/2020

God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah Psalm 46 30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call. Joel 2

"What will you do when the waters rise? What will you do when the continents shift? What will you do when the churches are empty? Will you still praise Me on that day? When the waters overtake you I will surely be there to rescue you. When the mountains quake and fall into the sea, I will be there.

What will you do, my people, when everything around you is falling apart? What will you do when leaders fall and rise again? What will you do when many leave the cities and find refuge in the hills and mountains?

What will you do when the stars above appear to be dim? When people run to and fro in search of answers, what will they find? Woe to those who say that all is well. Woe to those who prophesy great and wonderful things. But seek Me with a pure and willing heart, and I will be with you on those days.

Those days are not as far off as you may think. The pages have turned and you are entering into new chapters of the book; but be prepared for deceitfulness all around you. For that great deceiver will spread his lies and if possible, will deceive even the elect.

How would a wise man plan for these days---would he hoard his money and stockpile food and ammunition away? Or would he get under the shelter of my wings and find solace and protection there?

You better be ready for when these things come you could get caught-up in the whirlwind. But I AM in the eye of the storm, and those who find shelter with Me will be protected on those days."

AMERICA YOU ARE MUCH LIKE ROME WAS



11/27/2020

19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 1 John 2

14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. Ephesian 5

61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; Isaiah 61

"Now is not the time to slumber. Now is the time to be fully awake; for there are many deceivers in the world. And I tell you that many of these deceivers are now even among you. For these are those who were once a part of you, but now they have drifted far away.

These are those that are within the church. For their agenda still stands for the one that has lost this election. They stand firm in their convictions still, and little do they know that their agenda has divided many within the body of Christ.

And yet they would rise up in their anger and fury because their golden calf has been damaged. At one time it glistened in the sun; it shone as the ancient statues of Rome, and yet Rome fell. America, you are much like Rome, for the spectators sit in the coliseum waiting for the games to begin. Soon they will come out to play, and then their bloody scenes will be seen by all.

How can you return to your former glory? For once you were honored, once you stood as a light to the nations, but now your glory has faded. For much of your people live in poverty, and food lines pack the parking lots of many of your cities. Who is the true servant of mine that will give into the bosom of my people? Who will lift up the broken-hearted, and who will set the captives free?

Many wonder what the new year will bring, and yet many follow their own agendas. Truly, there will be rioting in the streets, and the time will come when martial law is ensued, but even though there will be all these things, I AM still a God of hope."

YOU SEEK OUT SENSATION RATHER THAN WISDOM



11/30/2020

A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; He rages against all wise judgment.2 A fool has no delight in understanding, But in expressing his own heart. 3 When the wicked comes, contempt comes also; And with dishonor comes reproach. 4 The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters; The wellspring of wisdom is a flowing brook. Proverbs 18

38 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? 3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. 4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? 8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? 9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, 10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? 14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment. Job 38

"This is the time to enter into your prayer chambers. This is the time when you must seek Me above all else. Why would you seek out your leaders and your favorite preachers? Why would you seek man rather than Me? Is not man fallible? Is not man just a vessel?

You seek out sensation rather than wisdom. You seek out those things that would entertain you. If you want to be entertained then go see a movie. If you want truth, then come to Me; but truth is not always an easy thing to grasp.

You want the promises of a better day ahead, and yet am I not the one that allows the sun to come up? Am I not the one that brings an old man or woman to their old age? By Me nations rise and fall again. By Me the prophetic pages of the book are turned forward.

Do you think that your favorite youtube preachers have more wisdom than I? Do you think that what you read on the internet is always filled full of truth? A child would have more truth than some of these.

So you sit in your houses made of stone and wood, and you search for truth. But I AM the Great I AM. I gave Moses the tablets of stone; I parted the sea for them as the children of Israel left Egypt. I fed them in the wilderness.

And yet what of today, you might say? Those great stories were from the past, you say. Do I not intercede on behalf of the affairs of men and women? Have I not still wrought miracles? Do I not end the reign of ruthless leaders? Do I not bring to completion those things that you have asked for?

But you stomp and plead with Me; thinking that I will answer your prayers when some of them are against my will. Some of you have stomped and pleaded like the prophets of baal. You cannot make Me do what is not in my will.

The times are in my hand; I deliver a nation and I allow another one to fall. You cannot bring to greatness that which has already fallen. "

HAVE YOU COME TO COMPLETION?



12/9/2020

13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. Ephesians 4

"Have you reached a milestone in your life with Me? Have you come to completion concerning your growth in Me? Do you think that you have finally arrived? Your life upon this earth has involved a series of joys, sorrows, and trials that have been administered to help bring you to the fullness of the stature of Christ.

For your life is but a vapor; the time that you live is but a short time compared to the everlasting time that you will spend with Me. At that time then the years will have been folded-up and time as you know it, will have no meaning at all. For eternity is but a concept to you now. You live in a time and dimension that is framed by this world that you live in.

Those things that have been written down concerning the life after, are but a taste of what is to come. The joys that you will experience cannot be measured in human terms. Death and sorrow will be swallowed up. A child will live out his days unto eternity and an old man shall never die. In my place of eternity you shall live for evermore. There you shall abide with Me, and the sun and the moon will no longer be needed, for I shall be your light.

The great enemy of my people will have been cast into the bottomless pit, never to harm you again. You will live out your days with those who will be there with you. You will walk along those streets treasuring the light that comes forth there. Keep your eyes upon eternity.

17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; For behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing, And her people a joy. 19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem,And joy in My people; The voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her,Nor the voice of crying 20 “No more shall an infant from there live but a few days, Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days; For the child shall die one hundred years old,But the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed. 21 They shall build houses and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. 22 They shall not build and another inhabit;They shall not plant and another eat; For as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people,And My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 23 They shall not labor in vain,Nor bring forth children for trouble; For they shall be the descendants of the blessed of the Lord, And their offspring with them. Isaiah 65

IT IS TIME FOR SOME OF YOU TO GROW UP



12/12/2020
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Hebrews 5

"Have you discerned the truth, my people? Have you been able to distinguish between even those things that at first notice appear to be true but are not? For some of you have swallowed everything as truth. You have said that this is true when it is not. Many of you are still children in this regard. But to the mature, you are to eat meat now, for milk is only for the babes.

For it is time for some of you to grow up. Your diets have been on pablum and milk for too long. Now is the time for meat, for those who have trained their faculties to distinguish between what is true and what is not. For in these days you must train your faculties more and more. For the enemy is at work among you more and more.

It's not just a matter of being able to distinguish between good and evil, but it is between what at first appears to be true, but it is mixed with half-truths. For some things after they are exposed to the light, are then seen for what they are. This is true as well, as those who search for truth among the many things that are found on the internet. For many of my people have been led astray by these stories.

Yes, a new year is coming, and with it will come many changes. Be prepared to know the difference between what is true and what is not."

OUT OF THE DEPTHS



12/17/2020
Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord. 2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. 3 If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. 5 I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. 6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Psalm 130
“And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.” Psalm 50:15

"Out of the depths I have heard your prayers. For even though my people have gone the other way, they are still my people. For I have not forsaken you, sayeth the Lord. For I AM He that can save a man that is buried in sin. I AM He that can resurrect the dead. I AM He that created life and I AM He that taketh it away.

I AM with you unto the end, says the Lord, and I will bring you through all of your trials upon this earth. But until that time, you must go through a series of tests and trials till the end.

Your land will be purged, and many will run to and fro looking for answers in the midst of the chaos. For civil war is upon the horizon, and the division in your land will grow deeper. Keep your eyes upon Me, for I alone will deliver you.

THE SOON AND COMING KING



12/24/2020
<> 11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS ANDLORD OF LORDS. Rev. 19

"Do you know about the Savior that came as a little child? He was born in a manger as many of you well know. He grew up and became a man, and yet He was the Son of God. Many of you know the story and yet very few know Him as the soon-and-coming King.

Amid all the tinsel and gifts this season, will you know him as He truly is? For I AM soon to come back. I will come at my appointed time; I will come in the clouds, and many will look upon him whom they have pierced. For the world hangs in the balance. I will come upon that white horse and those that come after Me, the legions of heaven, will come.

For my feet will land upon the Mount of Olives, and I will enter through the eastern gate. The world will be held in the clutches of the evil one, but I will demolish his kingdom. For darkness will be trampled on that day. No more will the evil one come to destroy or deceive my people.

But this new year will bring about changes to many. Many will wander looking for bread and sustenance. The streets will be filled with the homeless begging for bread. People will be searching for answers and few will have the answers.

But to those who have wisdom you will shine like the stars in the heavens. Your faith will be tested, and yet you will grow rich in the things of my kingdom. And yet many will have fallen prey to conspiracies that benefit little to themselves and others.

You must search for truth even as a man would search out hidden treasure in a field. For where your heart is there your treasure will be also. What treasure do you possess? Is your treasure in the things of this world, or is it found somewhere else? For your treasure is found in earthen vessels, and there it would exhibit those qualities that I would seek after. "

AM WITH YOU ALWAYS
12/27/2020


"For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39

"As you look to the new year, know that I AM with you always. As you begin to see these things unraveling around you, know that I AM in control. I AM still on the throne, and I will keep you safely under my wings.

The evil one is trying to keep you side-tracked, but he will not win. From his deep dungeons he whispers into the ears of many, filling them with his lies; for he knows that his time is short. For with the new year, there will be dangers on every front, so you must be prepared, for the end of the age is near.

For it is the time of the lies to be spread among many in the globe. Will you be able to discern the difference between what is true and what is false? For there are many among you that have tried to dissuade you from the truth.

How many lies have you believed in? How many times have you been fooled into believing something that is not true? For then you have fallen prey to the enemy when these things have happened. What half truths have you believed in? What has been twisted and warped into something to make it appear to be true?

Do you know the voice of the master? Do you know the one that holds the keys to life and death? For that key also holds the power over the enemy. It is time for all things to be wrapped-up. Be ready, for you must have your lamps burning for the bride groom awaits you. "
