Isaiah 48:17-19 This is what the Lord says – your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is good for you and leads you along the paths you should follow. Oh, that you had listened to my commands! Then you would have had peace flowing like a gentle river and righteousness rolling over you like waves in the sea. Your descendants would have been like the sands along the seashore – too many to count! There would have been no need for your destruction, or for cutting off your family name.”
Ah, children, when will you learn? When will you acknowledge me? Who I am? Who you are? When will you pay attention to what happens when you cut me out of your lives? When you cut me out of your government? When you cut me out of your culture? You are seeing the results in your world today. Evil abounds. Truth is lies and lies are truth. Everything is upside down. Some of you are awake and totally aware of what is happening. Others are coming to see. Many will not be able or will refuse to see. But, whether or not you are willing to acknowledge it, Truth exists. And here is that Truth: I am the Lord your God. I am Creator of all. I am He who put all into existence, all into order, all into perfect harmony. And you – you my creation – you created in my image – you are who lives in lies. You are who live out of harmony with me and my natural creations. You are who want to take my place, do my job, act as if you are my equal. You are who want to shut me out of every aspect of your lives. If you think things aren’t working now, it will be exponentially worse if you don’t shift course soon. You believe things can’t get crazier? Can’t get more evil? You are wrong. This has just been gaining speed and force. There is much farther this can go. Whether it does or not is up to you. Remember, you have been gifted free will. Yes, I could take over, I could force you to do what’s right, I could force you to acknowledge me, obey me, “love” me. Yet, none of that would be worthy of either you or me. You are free spirits. You make your own choices. Then, either fortunately or unfortunately, you live with the consequences of those decisions – both in your private lives and in the public life of your nations, your world. I love you. I will honor whatever you decide. Choose wisely.
