Many Lives Are Lost


My precious children, it is more important than ever now that you heed My words of warning to you. I will warn you of things to come, for I always tell My people what is coming, but you must listen, and obey Me.

Many lives are lost in an instant in a tragedy, many more in My judgments, but you, My precious children, shall be protected if you do not turn from My words to you.

Time is growing shorter and many of My people do not believe the lateness of the hour. I am giving you signs now that this is so. Those who watch and pray will see the signs and know. They are those who shall be ready for My Son’s return. They are those whose lamps will be full of oil.

Busy yourselves with Kingdom work, My children, for the time left to do My work is short now and you lay up for yourselves treasure as you work to bring your brothers and sisters into the Kingdom. Pray diligently and petition consistently for the salvation of the lost and of your loved ones, for I shall answer your prayers to save them! Great shall be your joy and you shall enjoy the fruits of your labor!

I hear your prayers and will answer. The times you don’t hear My voice, I am still near to you, watching you, working with you, loving you. You are all precious in My sight and I desire you would take full advantage of all My Son died to give you in these last days. I desire none of His sacrifice would be in vain.

Enjoy My blessings, children! Glorify Me in all you do! Lift high the Name of My Son Jesus and walk in His ways, that men may see and know Him.

Matthew 24:33:  So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

Amos 3:7:  Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Matthew 26:41:  Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Psalm 91:1-2:  He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Matthew 25:1-13:  Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Luke 19:13:  And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

Matthew 6:20:   But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

  2. Dear Glynda,
    Do you think it is possible that the LORD may allow HIS people (or a person) to be hurt or killed in order to speak a strong word to their family member or friend as a witness also? I believe YAHWEY will and does protect us, but I also have seen HIM take away in order to bring about repentance.
    A word the LORD gave me years ago, (and it may have just been for me only) was "If the pain never stops, will you deny ME?"
    But I ask you and your readers, b/c I believe your post is serious: If the pain never stops for you, will you deny JESUS? Will you lose your hope? Looking at OK, just rends my heart! It's almost inconcievable and difficult to digest! Surely our GOD is an awesome GOD.
    (Please understand I don't post this comment as some harsh comment. I fear the LORD as in Psalm 2! and I am praying non stop!)
    Blessings,
    Deirdre

  3. Deirdre,

    Yes. The Lord loves His people so much that He did not spare His only Begotten Son. It absolutely is possible. He will allow that in order to speak to people NOT in their family, because we are all in HIS family.

  4. Deirdre,

    Your comment "If the pain never stops for you, will you deny JESUS? Will you lose your hope?" is such a crucial question for all believers to seriously consider in these last days.

    Beginning March 2 of this year, the Lord has led me through reading accounts of Christians persecuted for their faith in restricted nations. Some of these are of martyrs in times past; yet many thousands of believers are currently imprisoned--some unto death.

    For these, the pain indeed did / will not stop; yet their faith held fast. The NUMBER ONE suggestion offered to fellow Christians, by persecuted believers who have been released, is this: prepare spiritually and mentally BEFORE persecution strikes, so as not to be caught unprepared in a state of shock. Think through various scenarios, determine ahead of time how you will react if / when the time comes, and memorize as much scripture as possible.

    We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 2 Corinthians 4: 8-11

    Bless you, Sister!

  6. The Lord had shown me that the provision in Psalm 91 that "nothing shall come near your dwelling place" is a physical shadow of a "spiritual" reality, as we are "in Christ." Even if death comes, we remain in our dwelling place, which is "in Him," forever and ever. And, so yes, suffering and even death can and perhaps will come to many,even in these latter days. Oh, death, where is thy sting?

  7. mark 13:9 and hebrews chapters 10 and 11 are testimonies dealing with sufferings and persecutions to any who'd read, especially those who believe, but also those being drawn to Christ Jesus. Helps show them the entire change that will occur and the possible events because of faith in Christ so that hopefully the ground of the heart will not be shallow but deep.

    Like Laurie's suggestion and from those who've lived it, prepare beforehand, be already prepared. It's easier to work when there is light out then when it is dark out..do your work while there is light..

    if one said after much suffering..no, I will no longer follow the Lord because my situation was not healed/corrected ..that would show shallow ground which when under heat the plant withers or that self rule is still primary. our life is not our own but bought with a price we are, even in suffering or worse the Lord loves us astoundingly, it's that old nature which attempts to rise up and say otherwise and false things and make a claim that we ought, or deserve..and if no healing or whatever then we're outta here. The popular prosperity gospels are harmful as they appeal to and build up the reign of self and not Christ.

  8. When I see stories like this, it just drives home the point of how quickly the Lord's Word is coming to pass:

  9. As regards Christians dying in order to bring others to Christ, such a thing happened here in Christchurch New Zealand.

    The main prayer of a woman who lived in the doomed Canterbury Televsion building was that her children come to The Lord. I think they had been muucking around or were stubborn. After the building collapsed in the Feb 22 2011 earthquake killing her and 180 others around Christchurch, her children came to Christ because they KNEW that their mother knew where she was going and I guessed they realised the uncertainty of everything, that your life could be taken in a moment.
