My People Must Take Control of Their Mouths

This word came in a time of prayer.

My people must take control of their mouths and refuse to use them for evil purposes for much evil is coming upon the earth and those who do not shall perish.

I desire your lips would praise and worship Me, My people, not criticize, condemn and curse each other. It is not My desire for you to be talebearers causing wounds to others, yet many of My people continue sinning, knowing what My holy word says about this.

Do you not know you are sowing bad seeds of gossip into your own lives, My children? Do you not know this displeases Me greatly and I shall not overlook your sins? Do you not think I care when you use your tongues to wound My other children? I am not a careless father who does not see when you do this.

You think your words do not matter to Me but they matter a great deal. I am not pleased when you ignore My word in this way.

Prov. 18:21:  Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Prov. 21:23: Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

James 3:10: Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

Eph. 4:29: Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

Prov. 26:22: The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Gal. 6:7:  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Vision of the Blanket of Darkness

I  was going back over my records of what the Lord has spoken to me over the past several years when I came across something He said on March 25, 2008, after He had shown me a vision during my worship time of a giant black blanket descending silently towards the earth. It was falling through space and when I saw it, I got a really bad feeling. I did not understand what it meant at the time and had asked Him to reveal it to me. I could not remember if I had posted this or not.

March 25, 2008:  

The blanket of darkness you saw descending is spiritual blindness that is about to cover the earth. The people who have denied Me, those who have treated My Son's Blood frivolously, those who do not walk in My Ways, will be trapped in it. They will become prey to the Evil One and will be given over to their sinful ways. Their lusts shall consume them, and death shall be their reward.

You are seeing My Judgment fall on some already, but you will see this increase as the days pass, as I remove the blemishes that have shamed My Holy Name and profaned My Church.

I will no longer look the other way from their sin but I will uncover it for all the world to see. Disgrace shall be their reward. I will no longer tolerate sin in the church.

And the pretenders I shall also remove for they are not of Me, they are not branches of the true vine. They sit like puppets, week after week, but their eyes do not see and their ears do not hear. They seek Me not and have aroused My holy anger.

My Holy apostles and prophets I will send and they will be run out as I shine the glorious light of My Holiness on them. I shall drive all darkness from the Bride of My Son!

Isaiah 60:2: For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

Galatians 5:24: And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Galatians 2:3: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

You Must Now Constantly Seek My Face

The enemy is now accelerating and increasing his attacks on the people of the earth. Only the most discerning shall not fall prey to his schemes and trickery at this time.

My people, while it is true I have given you power over all the power of the enemy, you are no match for his wit nor his wiles and you must now constantly seek My face and pray you will not be caught in his snares if you are to survive. For he sees the signs of the times and has a plan to destroy each one of you.

In coming months, much will change in your world. When judgment comes, it is never an easy thing to see. Know that for all those you see taken, more remain yet who can still be saved, and move your focus to that.

You must not focus on destruction when you see it happen, but pray and watch for My soon return and intercede for the lost still among you. By this will you obtain mercy for yourselves, as you pray for others.

What is coming must come and was foretold long ago. Still, it will be difficult to see. Know that I am with you, My children. My love surrounds you at all times and My angels walk among you. I have sent them to guide and help you, and to gather in the harvest.

Cry out to Me for your nations. Mercy can still be shown to some who have not yet rendered their hearts to Me.

Fearsome sights are coming in the earth soon but you must not fear, My children, for then you shall not be able to hear My voice guiding you. Much is changing now and it shall continue changing.

NOTE: I have received emails asking for clarification of this part where the Lord said we would not be able to hear His voice. What He means here is that if we get into fear, we will not be able to hear Him. Fear causes you to not be able to hear Him speak. 

Everything that can be shaken I shall shake before My final judgments. Whenever you are tempted to fear, run to your prayer closet and seek My face and I shall surround you with My love and comfort you there.

Make ready, My children, for I am coming soon.

I Peter 5:8: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Mark 13:33: Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

Matt. 28:20: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Cry Out to Me

I  was in my usual morning time of prayer and worship when the Lord began to speak to me.

Truly I tell you times in the earth have increased in sorrow and more is coming soon. For the people of the earth will know I am a mighty God of judgment at the end of times.

Cry out - cry out to Me for your children and your loved ones while there is yet time! Cry out for your nations that I may touch them and bring repentance! Cry out for your own souls - pray that you will be counted worthy to escape all that is coming in the earth for the horror of it shall indeed be great.

Many will die of starvation, and in countries where hunger is rare. Many shall die in plagues. Many shall die in vain trying to save earthly possessions. Many shall die fighting.

(In my spirit I was shown a strange sight - many thousands of people and most of them had blinders on, like the blinders horses wear. They were looking straight ahead of where they were walking, smiling, expecting conditions in the world to improve and refusing to hear any warnings. I saw the enemy coming up behind first this one, then that one, to ambush them. They never saw him coming, they were just walking through their lives, waiting for everything to improve.)

It Will Be a Time as None Before It

I  was working on writing and the heaviness and dread I've been feeling for weeks now about the economy rose up in my spirit once again. I have learned when I have repeated bouts of something like this, it is an indication something is about to happen that the Lord wants to let us know about, so I went aside to my prayer place to seek Him about it.

Times are indeed about to become more than difficult for many people.

(I heard a deep, deep sadness in the Lord's voice as He spoke this to me, and I felt that He has tried to prepare many who would not listen and obey in what they needed to do before this time.)

You will hear of many suicides in the future - suicides of ones who could not part with their wealthy lifestyles. It will be a time as none before it.

The devastation will be great but many shall turn their hearts to Me in this time and come to know Me and I shall help them.

Tell My children to keep their eyes on Me and follow where I guide them and they shall be provided for in this time. Decrease needs now and learn to live more simply and you shall have less distress when you see this happening, My children.

The world's system must come crashing down if My people are to truly return to Me while there is yet time.

I have much to show the world in this time. I have much to teach you also, My children, about My ways, about My provision.

Come to Me now. Seek My face and know Me as your provider.

Matt. 6:28: And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

Phil. 4:19: But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Prepare Your Hearts for What I Am About to Do

I  was driving across a bridge over a small area of a nearby lake and was really concerned about how fast the water was evaporating. It looks more like an oversized mud puddle than a lake now, with trees sticking up everywhere. I began to pray. "Lord, the water is drying up! The animals will die if they can't find water!" and the Lord began to speak to me about what I was seeing.

Get used to seeing death and destruction all around you, child, for My judgments are falling on this nation and many of them will seem harsh but I am a righteous judge. This nation has not begun to see what I have in store for those who turn their backs on My son, My word, and My ways. Its judgment will be horrific indeed, yet I will save many for I am as great in mercy as I am in judgment.

Prepare your hearts, My children, for what I am about to do. You will not like what you see yet it is necessary that I judge the sin and rebellion I have found in your nations.

For I shall reward to each nation, each household and each person according to what I find. I am not slack concerning My judgments and you have had much time to repent.

Watch for Me and pray you will be counted worthy for I am coming soon.

Prov. 13:13: Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

Hosea 4:9: And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

Luke 21:36: Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

I Peter 4:7: But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

The Stock Market

Several days ago, I was reading the news headlines on the internet. As I read how the stock market had taken a sudden plunge, I heard a very strange thing in my spirit; I heard the Woody Woodpecker laugh. I haven't heard that in years, since I am well past the age of watching Saturday morning cartoons. I saw in the spirit a line representing the stock market bouncing up and down like it had gone crazy.

I'm not sure what hearing Woody Woodpecker's laughter meant, but I felt what I saw meant the stock market would be very unstable and would go through many dramatic ups and downs in the future.

I was not shown how long it might last, but I felt the Lord showing me it was He who had orchestrated what was happening.

Is. 2:18: And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

Draw Near to Me

I  was in my morning prayer time worshiping the Lord when He began to speak this word to me.

Do not fear no matter what you see happening around you. The times are evil and evil shall abound in this time but it shall not come nigh you while I am protecting you.

Draw near to Me in the secret place for I shall give you great wisdom to walk in this time. You cannot survive what is coming without Me. Draw near to Me and know My love for you. Know how I care for you. I shall comfort your souls here in the secret place.

Strange signs shall abound. Things are not as they appear to be. Much is happening behind the scenes you know not of.

I desire you not be deceived, My children, though you live in the time of great deception. It is not possible for man to see through such great deception without My power, that is why you must draw nearer to Me.

In our intimate times together, I shall reveal much you need to know to walk in darkness. My light shall illuminate your way before you and make your way clear.

Fear not, only come to Me.

James 1:5: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

II Timothy 3:13: But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

Psalm 91:1: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Psalm 119:105: Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

I Am Calling My Soldiers to War

 My people need to stand ready, at My beck and call in this time. I am calling My soldiers to war in the heavenlies for Me. I am calling them to free households, neighborhoods, cities and states for Me. I am calling you to take up your weapons and war against the enemy of your souls.

Many of you are trained and ready for battle. Others are not so ready. I desire you would train those not yet ready to war alongside you in these times. Many events are coming soon that will cause changes you are not expecting.

Rise up, My people, and prepare to make war on the enemy of your souls. Prepare to battle him to free those you love from bondage. I desire My people to live free of hurts and wounds from the past.

I desire intercession from My people.

Numbers 32:27: But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith.

II Samuel 22:35: He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

Job 5:20: In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.

Joel 3:9: Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:

The Enemy Has Lulled You to Sleep

I  was reading I Chronicles 21 about King David when the Lord began speaking this message to me.

Where yet is My peoples' fear of Me? How is it they do not fear what I am about to do? You have fallen asleep, My people. The enemy has lulled your souls to sleep with the lie there is yet time to repent of the great evils this country has committed against Me, the Holy One of Israel.

He has lulled you to sleep in your sins in the hope you will not awaken in time that you may be saved, and of many of you this will be true for you continue to reject My warnings to you, 

preferring the lies of the world in which you live. (I felt the deep sadness of the Lord when He spoke this last sentence)

You who refuse to give up your sin, I am coming to judge you soon. Do not be deceived, My children, into thinking I do not care when you sin for that is the enemy's thinking, not Mine. You shall reap what you are sowing if you refuse My ways.

Turn now while there is yet time and space for you to repent, for great is the magnitude of what I am about to do. Indeed, the whole world shall be shaken by it.

Fearful and mighty is the Holy One of Israel but My people have forgotten how strong I am in battle and fear Me not.

II Kings 19:22: Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 1:4: Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

Isaiah 17:7: At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.

Judges 16:19-20: And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him. And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him.

Prov. 6:9-11: How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

Ephesians 5:14-15: Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
