You
Cannot Love the World and Love Me
I
will give you revelation as you study My holy word. I desire that you would
come into the knowledge of all truth about Me and that it will comfort you in
your time of need. My word is your assurance I will meet those needs if you
have obeyed My commands.
My
word abounds with revelation, with truth, with the steps you should take in
order to come out of any negative situation you are faced with, but so many
rely only on the revelations of others. They do not pursue truth for
themselves, therefore they possess no real revelation of their own. Because of
this, they can be easily swayed by winds of strange doctrines containing only
partial truths.
Oh
My people, why do you neglect so great a salvation as that which is found in My
holy word? Why do you gladly give your minds to idle pastimes and neglect the
great treasures of eternal value hidden in My word? I have hidden tools there
for you to find – tools to fix the problems you face each day. I have placed
comfort in its lines to surround you with My comfort whenever you need Me. You
draw near to Me whenever you read My holy word. I speak to you in its pages. I
pull you close to Me in its verses.
I long for you to draw nearer to Me yet so many of you are chasing
what the world has to offer and soon that world will be no more. That world
will change forever, but I change not. Time spent in My holy word is never
wasted, never lost. It is multiplied back to you in blessings in your life.
My
word teaches you how you should live but so many of you want to live like the
world instead. You do not look into My word for it convicts you of your sin.
Instead you look into the world and it agrees with your sin and leaves you
feeling comfortable with it. I did not call you to live lives of comfort but of
sacrifice and love. Lives of giving, of helping each other. Yet so many of you
have turned inward with your love and love yourselves instead. My Word would
teach you but you harden your hearts against it. My word would guide you into all
truth in holiness yet you will have none of it.
The
time is coming soon when those who have spent time in My word will stand above
the others who have played the harlot with the world and its ways. The
difference will be clear in the way I protect them from all that is coming
soon. I have called you to come out of the world. If you ignore My voice, if
you ignore My word, you cannot endure to the end. You cannot love the world and
love Me. You cannot serve the ways of the world and serve Me. You must choose.
