My sheep know My voice and they follow Me. If you follow another's voice, whose sheep are you? Yet My children often succumb to the whispers of the enemy of their souls. My Word clearly states the folly in this way of living your lives, My children. Wisdom cries out to you to take the higher path, yet you ignore it in favor of serving your flesh.
If you are to survive what is coming, you must stay on the narrow path. You must take up your cross, deny your fleshly desires, and follow Me in your ways. You must align yourself with Me, not the Evil One who seeks only your destruction.
Do you not see he means you only harm? Can you not feel your chains growing heavier with every instance of sin? Why do you not cry out to Me to be free? Why do you not fast to loose the bands of wickedness from your life? Why do you not seek in My Word daily for the keys to your freedom? Why do you continually ignore the consequences of your sin?
The time of My chastisement has come upon you, My people. You will now face those consequences unless you alter your path and walk in My ways. I have moved on your hearts to abandon your sinful pleasures, but many of you obey Me not. The consequences will be very grave for some of you.
Prepare now to reap what you have sown.

John 10:10: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 8:34: Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
Isaiah 58:6: Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Hebrews 12:6: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Galatians 6:7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Amen !

ReplyDeleteThe stones are set, the battlements are ready, He is ready to unleash His anger. He is almost finished putting His faithful in their assigned places. He is calling His faithful out from the man-made church into His presence. Those who have not listened will suffer, will pay the consequence for their putting off of His commands. But, those who have remained, who have endured must not be haughty, let there be no arrogance, you have been placed specifically to minister, not to hide but to minister boldly to the lost, AND the shirkers. He has called His faithful to serve Him and obey, and this will be the further testing.
There will be no cries of " but we followed and they didn't". You may have to snatch them from the fire, He wants to know you have forsaken your most primitive feelings to follow Him.
Follow in love, follow in forgiveness, follow in obedience. These things the Lord demands.
Blessings,

follow grow be abiding and increasing in Him and all His way's doing the Word, also praise and worship and giving thanks in all things during these and any times. worship and praising and in the Word daily(not daily devotions but really eating). Ask for a new song also from the heart. I've added some new worship music lately and it's been good. we can love to love Him. Be in the Word daily and deeply and our desires for Him more will increase. Delight in the Lord and He will give the desires of your heart..and coming closer to Him the desires become even more love and closer and stronger and bearing more fruit of the Spirit and hearing His voice leading clearer instead of earthly desires and temporal things. The desires become Him and following Him, He is and has all we need.
ReplyDeleteIn my flesh I do not desire Him. Sometimes I'll think..I don't feel like it, like reading the bible, praying praising and other things..of course I don't..feel..like it, flesh wars with the Spirit. feelings vs faith, old man vs new man/new creation in Christ. Sometimes when I think -I don't feel like it- I'll look deeper in heart and see..yes I do, because He put that there, because of Him. So do, mortify/slay the flesh and do, gather with Him daily, not scatter. All life and goodness is in Him. Sow to the Spirit. Stir up the gift that's within us through the laying on of hands and in Acts receiving the Holy Spirit is also called a gift. Gift, also faith is a gift, and of course God sent His Son-a gift, and more could be added. Gifts of the highest value..yet our flesh would hold up anything else as higher value..values, priorities, what we listen to/pay heed to..choose/decide..what's of value, and so do.
an old term, the world, the flesh, and the devil..sometimes I reckon I have no need for the devil, as my flesh itself means for my destruction. We are informed we can put it to death..awesome. So do.
