In the Time of Destruction

My children, your lives will change in a myriad of ways in what is coming. Many of My children will have been called home before the season of America’s destruction comes, but some will remain for a time – those who have asked to remain, and some who have refused My refining - who refuse to lay down their sins. But fear not, for even this season shall pass.

In the time of destruction, an intense lull (I believe He means like the loud hum of a large machine starting up) will take place during which my people will feel exceedingly uneasy. You will feel frozen in place, yet will be able to move about. Suddenly, traps shall spring up all around you – this will happen without warning. Every place your foot falls, another trap shall appear.   There will be no escape.

In this time, cry out to Me. Cry out loudly that I may deliver you from their traps for their traps cannot hold your mighty God. I am well able to deliver My own.                                                                                                          

Deut 31:6 - 6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Psa 91:3 - 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence.

Psa 141:9 - 9 Keep me from the snares [which] they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.

Psa 31:4 - 4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou [art] my strength.

 

To Know What is Best

My children, in this time of pruning, I will ask some of you to make some very difficult choices. These choices are necessary if you are to move forward in what I have for you to do, yet some of them will shock you and you will struggle to choose.

Trust Me to know what is best. 

If I am your God, do not fear to follow Me.

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;

Ephesians 6:13-14

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

Matthew 6:28-30

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Isaiah 26:3-4

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

4 Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:

Matthew 6:33-34

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

 

Unencumbered

My children, in this time of pruning I will remove much from your life that you wished to retain. You cannot see the reasons yet, though you will see them later. Remember, I can see what is just up ahead of you and know what is best for all concerned.

As I begin pruning things and people from your life, I desire you would give them to Me freely. There are additional rewards for those who give freely to Me what I desire to remove.

I desire you would walk into the end of all things unencumbered. Unencumbered by relationships that hold you back. Unencumbered by possessions you cannot keep as you move forward. Unencumbered by what prevents you from completing your work for Me.

Phil 4:4-13

4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.

5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand.

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.

9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.

11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content.

12  I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

 

Season of Pruning

My people, you are walking through a Season of Pruning.  I am the vine, you are the branches.

Every husbandman knows pruning must occur in order to make a plant more fruitful. I desire you would bear fruit and much fruit for My Kingdom so I am pruning the things and people and even what you see as resources in your life that you may bear more fruit that remains.

Do not struggle against Me in this time. Allow My will to be done in your life for you will be very glad later if you allow Me. My plan  for you is different than your plan.

John 15:1-8  

1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast [them] into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

  

Trust Only Me

My children, I have allowed you to cling to relationships until now that you might have the benefit if them but now some must be cut out of your lives in order that I may take you higher. I desire your dependence would be only on Me. In this coming season, you can trust no man with your life. Trust only Me. 

This will seem a lonely time for some but draw strength from My Spirit as much of this end time, My people shall walk alone.

Psa 23:3-4  

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Deut 31:6 - 6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Psa 34:18 - 18 The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

2 Tim 4:16 - 16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all [men] forsook me: [I pray God] that it may not be laid to their charge.

Psa 25:16-17  

16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am] desolate and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: [O] bring thou me out of my distresses.

Matt 28:20 - 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.

Joel 2:25 - 25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

1 Cor 10:13 - 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].

Mal 3:2-3  

2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he [is] like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

3 And he shall sit [as] a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

Prov 3:5-7  

5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

Isa 43:1-4  

1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou [art] mine.

2 When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

3 For I [am] the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt [for] thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.

John 16:32 - 32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
