August 18, 2020 Consider Your Choices
My children, you
are preoccupied with the cares of your world when your eyes should be on Me and
in My Holy Word, for your whole world is about to change.
A wind is coming
soon that will change everything and nothing will remain as you know it. You
are in a season of change, and these changes will not be good ones. You cannot
change what is coming, only prepare yourselves for it and give yourselves to
prayer.
For those who
truly believe in Me and walk in My ways, the time you have left on the earth is
very short indeed. Others will remain longer that I may refine them before I
call them home to Me. You must all prepare now, for the time of preparation is
nearly gone. When it is gone, there will not be more time for this.
What would you
do today if you knew you had only weeks or months left in the earth, My
children? Would your words and actions be kinder to those you know? Would you
spend your time the same ways? Would you allow yourselves to be so distracted
from Me?
You know the
enemy seeks to distract you, do you understand why he works so intensely to do
this thing? It is because his time is short – very short. Yours is shorter
still. Do you desire to stay behind and be refined?
Consider your
choices, My children. Consider them carefully for every word you speak and
every moment you spend now counts for you or against you in the final
accounting. Be about your father’s business, and pray for the lost souls who
will never know Me otherwise that you may stand before Me and give a good
account of the last of your time in the earth.
You are coming
home much sooner than you think.
Ephesians
5:27
27 That he might present it to himself a
glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it
should be holy and without blemish.
Hebrews
12:1-8
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed
about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and
the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race
that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and
finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the
cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of
God.
3 For consider him that endured such
contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your
minds.
4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood,
striving against sin.
5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation
which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the
chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,
and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth
with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement,
whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Isaiah
18:1-6
1 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the
rivers of Ethiopia:
2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea,
even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers,
to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning
hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have
spoiled!
3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and
dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains;
and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
4 For so the Lord said unto me, I will
take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon
herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5 For afore the harvest, when the bud is
perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off
the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
6 They shall be left together unto the
fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall
summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
Jeremiah
7:30-33
30 For the children of Judah have done evil
in my sight, saith the Lord: they have set their abominations in the house
which is called by my name, to pollute it.
31 And they have built the high places of
Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and
their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into
my heart.
32 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith
the Lord, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of
Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there
be no place.
33 And the carcases of this people shall be
meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none
shall fray them away.
Joshua
24:14-15
14 Now
therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away
the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in
Egypt; and serve ye the Lord.
15 And if it
seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve;
whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the
flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and
my house, we will serve the Lord.
Leviticus 26:20-28
20 And your
strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase,
neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
21 And if ye
walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times
more plagues upon you according to your sins.
22 I will also
send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy
your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.
23 And if ye
will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
24 Then will I
also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
25 And I will
bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when
ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among
you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
26 And when I
have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one
oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat,
and not be satisfied.
27 And if ye
will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
28 Then I will
walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven
times for your sins.
