John 12:42-43, 46 “But many did believe in him, however, including some Jewish leaders. But they wouldn’t admit it for fear that the Pharisees would expel them from the synagogue. For they loved human praise more than the praise of God….. ‘I have come as light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark.’”
Ah, a picture of your world. There are many who are fearful to pronounce publicly their love for me. They are afraid to openly associate with me and my word. So you were, once. But no more. This is the day when it is necessary to openly pronounce that you are my child. Openly pronounce that you are my follower. And, as the days progress where my children are more and more openly persecuted, shout it louder. It has begun. Under the guise of “masks” and “injections” and “racism” and other false narratives, persecution has been advanced. You are the real target. Do not be misled by any of the proclamations. You are the target – because, as has been true since the beginning of time, I am the target. This is, as you are well aware, a spiritual battle – a massive battle for the souls of mankind. As of this day, many of my children are lost in the battle. I wish to save them. The enemy wishes to take them captive and keep them from me. Do not ever lose sight that this, and only this, is the real issue. Whom will my children follow? Your enemy knows his time is growing short and so he increases his pressure and attacks daily. You are constantly amazed at the openness, the audacity of the enemy these days. Do not be surprised. You will never understand how they do what they do, why they do what they do – do not try. You cannot understand because you are not capable of the things they do, of believing what they believe, of being so blinded and hateful and clannish. You are not capable of inflicting harm on others gleefully. You are not capable of hating just for the sake of hatred. You do not take pleasure in the pain of others – you actually suffer in seeing it. That is the true sign of my children. You wish to help, not harm. You wish to eradicate evil, not promote it. You wish to take away suffering, not inflict it. You want peace – but true peace that comes by way of truth, not lies. You wish for transparency, not obfuscation. It is, indeed, an ever-darkening world in which you live. Do not succumb to it. The darkness can creep in, unseen. Stay close to me. Look to the Father. Look up, not around. Keep in constant contact with me. I am your only chance to stay grounded in the madness that surrounds you. Take time to grieve, what is happening is heartbreaking. But then, gird up and fight on.
