Instead

I have told My children of things to come and what I desire you would do to prepare for these events.

Why, children, do you do the opposite of what I tell you?

I tell you to be in My Word, to seek My Face, to pray to Me more for your loved ones.  Instead, you discuss amongst yourselves how hopeless all will be. I tell you to have faith, and instead you have fear.

I tell you to be in My Word, and instead you are in the news, believing the lies of My enemy instead of getting to know Me.

I tell you to have peace but you have surrendered your peace in favor of concern and worry for things you cannot change.

My children, if you will not listen and obey, there is little I can do to protect you in this.

James 4:7 - Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

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

Isa 41:10 - 10 Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Gen 15:1 - 1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I [am] thy shield, [and] thy exceeding great reward.

Jos 1:9 - 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Isa 41:13 - 13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
