Attacks Intensifying

   The enemy seeks to derail My children. The more closely you walk with Me, the bigger his attacks on you will be. He will work through those closest to you, and he will use what you care about most to distract you. You must be ever vigilant now.

   Ask Me for wisdom about what is to come. Ask Me for wisdom on how to fight the attacks of distraction assigned against you now. Ask Me for help with the discouragement he is assigning against you now, the weariness, the worry. I tell you these things that you might defeat them and continue on your journey close to Me. He is sending attacks of temptation, of resignation, of hopelessness and despair.

   He attacks in the same ways he always has, but his attacks have intensified and he is sending more of them at the same time (like several at the same time) to wear you down, to try to defeat you. You must defeat his attempts to sway you from your position in Me. Defeat him with the sword of truth you carry.

   My children, these battles will not grow smaller, but increase as time continues, so you must learn to fight them. You must learn to recognize what is from him and defeat it immediately that it does not take root.

   Be found in Me. Be found in My Holy Word for it will sustain you through all things. Do not bend to the distractions or let the enemy pull you back into the world.

Mark 4:18-20

• ¹⁸ And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
• ¹⁹ And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
• ²⁰ And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

2 Timothy 3:1

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

Psalm 141:8-10

• ⁸ But mine eyes are unto thee, O God the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
• ⁹ Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
• ¹⁰ Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.

Deceptive Blessings

   Time is drawing to a close and when it begins to close, events will happen very quickly, My children.

   Your enemy knows there is little time left, for he sees the preparations being made in the realm of the spirit. He knows you are approaching the finish line. In all the ages, men talked of the time you live in now. In all ages, men waited for the time you live in, and now it is here. All evil will be destroyed and all My children are coming home. There is great joy in heaven.

   The enemy of your souls has unleashed new assignments on you, children. You must be more than vigilant to discern these assignments. Many of My people are not discerning them.

   Your enemy is sending assignments that look like blessings but they are assignments to draw your attention to the world and away from himself. (away from the things he is doing so you will not discern them in time)  Away from Me and My Word.

   You must carefully determine what each blessing is giving you to discern these. His intent is to slow your spiritual growth. His intent is to pull you away from Me. His intent is to snare you in the world’s cares and choke out My Word until there is no longer time to recover.

   You have known these evil times of deception would come. I have told you that nothing will be as it appears. You must practice your discernment, children.

   If it takes you further from Me, I did not send it to you.  If it takes your time from Me, I did not send it to you. If it fills your thoughts with anything in the world, I did not send it to you.

Mark 4:18-20

• ¹⁹ And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
• ²⁰ And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

No Way To Comprehend

   In the times upon you, death will come through many avenues.

   Suicides will be prevalent as many will not have the ability to accept that their world has changed so much. Death by wild beasts will be common, as their worlds are also changed and they will roam to new places to find food. Death through sickness will be a daily occurrence, as medicine as you now know it will cease to exist, manufacturing being a thing of the past. Death will also come by the plagues.

   Men’s minds have no way to comprehend the agony that living on earth will become. The enemy of your souls will do everything he can to make you fail in that time, to make you deny Me, but those who overcome, those who endure to the end, will be saved.

   My children, many of those who die around you will be those you love. You must prepare your minds as best you can for what is coming in order to survive it until I bring you home to Me.

Revelation 6:3-9

• ³ And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
• ⁴ And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
• ⁵ And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
• ⁶ And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
• ⁷ And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
• ⁸ And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
• ⁹ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

Revelation 6:12-17

• ¹² And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
• ¹³ And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
• ¹⁴ And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
• ¹⁵ And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
• ¹⁶ And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
• ¹⁷ For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Exalted in the Time of Sorrows

Daniel was taken before King Belshazzar to interpret the writing on the wall. Belshazzar lost his kingdom that night when he was attacked by the Medes.

So King Darius took over the kingdom and Daniel was appointed one of three presidents, and he was the preferred one because of his excellent spirit. Then the others all look for a way to get rid of Daniel because they were jealous that he was preferred because of his excellent spirit.

Daniel had an excellent spirit because he obeyed and followed only God.

All this got Daniel thrown into a den of lions.

Because Daniel had an excellent spirit, because he did what was right, Satan entered into the hearts of those around him and tried to kill him.

The Lord has shown me that some of you will be promoted soon into positions of authority – you will be exalted. And you will be given a choice of whether you allow your heart to be lifted up as well, to become prideful of your new position, or if you will remain humble.

If you become prideful, the devil will be allowed to destroy your position, and you will pay a great price.

If you walk in excellence as Daniel did, the Lord says you will be persecuted. The persecution will be intense and you will not enjoy it, but it will GREATLY increase your rewards, both on earth and in heaven.

The lord says to tell you:   Choose you this day whom you will serve - sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: for you will be called on to answer.

This is only the beginning of the time of sorrows, much more is coming. You must learn to always be ready. You must learn to walk in courage, for many will die for the answer they give, and no man will know when his time will be when he opens his mouth to speak.

Psalm 75:6-7

• ⁶ For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
• ⁷ But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

1 Peter 3:15

• ¹⁵ But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Matthew 5:10

• ¹⁰ Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

2 Timothy 3:12

• ¹² Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

Joshua 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.

Honor Only Me

   For my children who walk with Me in the time of troubles, if you will walk in My Ways, I will do mighty exploits through you. If you will walk in My Ways and honor only Me, no matter the cost, I will provide for you. I will guide you. I will protect you.

   But if you choose to honor another in place of Me, I will give you over to your sins. I will leave you with no help in that time of troubles and I will not rescue you from the darkness of your world.

   Honor only Me. Serve only Me. Worship only Me.

Exodus 20:3

³ Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Deuteronomy 6:5

⁵ And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

2 Timothy 2:21

²¹ If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

Matthew 10:33

³³ But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
