Difficulties and Snares

My children are traveling a rocky path right now. Many obstacles suddenly appear on their path that require careful consideration and navigation.

Children, I know you do not understand this path you are on or why I am allowing such obstacles to confront you. You must be readied for what is coming and many of you have not faced such difficulties before.

If you will seek Me, if you will involve me in everything you do, I will guide you carefully around the obstacles. I will show you how to make your path easier to navigate.

Difficulty is not My desire for you, but difficulty you will face in this time, as persecution begins to arise in earnest against all My children. If you are not trained in hardship, there is a temptation in difficult times to blame Me for the difficulties, for the harshness of your lives when it is simply the time you live in.

Be patient to endure what is before you. Walk carefully, as you would in a mine field for this is truly what the enemy is attempting to place you in.

Your paths from this time forward will be fraught with peril as the enemy seeks again and again to trap you in his snares.

 

Psalms 106:36

And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

Job 18:8

For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.

2 Timothy 3:1-4

 

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
