Not Business as Usual

The enemy has stepped up his attacks on My people, you must up your guard as well. You must be very diligent in these days.

   My children. Life is not “business as usual” now, because of the times you live in. The enemy’s plan to destroy you through deception is widespread and he is attempting to make it appear like Me, but it is not Me. Those who do not know Me will buy into his plan.

   You must seek to know Me through My Word to avoid being deceived, there is no other way.   

1 Peter 5:8

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

Ephesians 5:6

·         6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

Colossians 2:8

·         8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

1 John 3:7

·         7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

Jeremiah 9:23-24

·         23 Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

·         24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.

Close the Door

    My children, you were born into a time when sin abounds around you.

   Sin is so abundant in your world that it seems normal, but this should not be so in My children’s lives.

   Rare is the person who walks with Me in holiness, but this is My desire for you. My desire is that you would strive to remove all sin from your life and from your atmosphere, that I may protect you from the Evil One.

   The Evil One seeks to devour My people and unless they close the doors to sin, they make place for him to do so. Release the sin and be safe.

1 Peter 5:5-10

·         5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

·         6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

·         7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

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

·         9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

·         10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

Ephesians 4:27-30

·         27 Neither give place to the devil.

·         28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

·         29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

·         30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Romans 12:2

·         2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

1 Peter 1:14-16

·         14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

·         15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

·         16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Monitor Your Thoughts

Your thoughts are not what I desire they would be.

Monitor your thoughts today and let Me lead you to higher thoughts.

Your life will be greatly blessed and all you do will be improved if you will allow Me to do this work in you. Guard your hearts, My children.

Proverbs 4:20-24

• 20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
• 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
• 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
• 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
• 24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

My Nearness

    Come out of your busy-ness and into My peace. Let the thoughts of what you need to do go, and focus only on Me. 

    If you can do this for only a little while each day, I will give you My peace, and your day will go more smoothly. If you will meet with Me each day as you meet with others, I will reveal hidden treasures to you in your life, and in My Holy Word. I will reveal secrets you have longed to know for many years. I will reveal truth to you.

   To know Me, come into My Presence often.

   Come, sit with Me as David did. Know Me. Know My heart for you.

   Feel My nearness, for this shall be your comfort in times to come.

James 4:8

• 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

2 Samuel 7:18-2218 Then went king David in, and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

• 19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord God?
• 20 And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy servant.
• 21 For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.
• 22 Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

No Order

  The atmosphere around you is constantly changing. This is the way of chaos. Nothing stays in its place, and order cannot be maintained.

   I am doing a work in your life to teach you to be at peace in Me as chaos abounds around you. This is necessary that you may continue My work in the days to come.

   Allow Me to do this work in you.

   Find your peace in Me in times to come.

Isaiah 26:3

• 3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

1 Corinthians 14:33

• 33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

1 Corinthians 14:40

• 40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
