Zechariah 5:11 “To the land of Babylonia, where they will build a temple for the basket. And when the temple is ready, they will set the basket there on its pedestal.” 

That basket holds Wickedness. Your world is Babylonia. It has been worshipping wickedness for much time. Wickedness has become a god to it. But, you are still here, those of you who follow me. You must tear down the temple to Wickedness. You must shine my light here, to vanquish her darkness. Fight. Be my soldiers. Vanquish her. 

Ezekiel 18:25 “Yet you say, ‘The Lord isn’t doing what’s right!’ Listen to me, O people of Israel. Am I the one not doing what’s right or is it you?” 

Unbelievers will always justify their behavior by saying that I, the Lord, am not right. They will find reasons to argue what my Word says. To accept my Word, to accept my precepts, they would have to admit their guilt, their sin. And they are not willing to do so. Do not be swayed. Do not be discouraged. Keep faithfully representing my Word. Remain true. You will always have those who will scoff, those who will argue. It has always been so. Tell them what you know. Tell them of my Word, my love, my forgiveness. Then leave it up to them. Do not argue endlessly with fools or those whose hearts and minds have been taken captive by the enemy. Just lovingly and peacefully tell them the truth, and allow them to decide what to do with that. But, do not be deceived nor dismayed, my Word will prevail. (2019)

Jonah 3:9 “Who can tell? Perhaps even yet God will change his mind and hold back his fierce anger from destroying us.” 

All is not lost until all is lost.

Judges 17:3 In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes.

And so it is today. Your people have removed me, and you have no king. Your nation is in such chaos because there is no standard by which to live. You have rejected me, my laws, my Word and so live by whatever makes you happy. 

John 3:20 All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed.

You are the light. You are of me. You represent me. You are the enemy of the evildoers. There will be hard times to come. There will be persecution of my children, of my ambassadors. But I will be with you and will allow you to go through this unscathed. Stick close to me, child. 

2 Kings 6:17 “The Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.”

And so it is today. Do not be afraid. Do not forget that it is I who fight for you. Do not forget that you have the armies of Heaven at your side. I am battling with you. Will your enemy appear to win some skirmishes? Yes. Do you fret at times that there is no hope at this point in the battle? Do not be afraid. Trust me. Trust my army. Trust that, no matter what happens, I am ultimately in control. Your enemy knows that. Why else would there be such frenzied activity to undo everything that is beneficial to my children? Why such an effort to discredit me and my followers? Why so much pressure to give up your rights, even to give up your unique DNA? Because your enemy knows his time is drawing to a close. It is his desire to take as many of you away from me as he can. Do not allow him any purchase. Do not allow him to cause you any fear or worry at all. He cannot take what is important. He cannot take me from you. Only you can give that up. Only you can give the enemy the power to take over your life. Do not ever forget that. Only you can allow yourself to become enslaved to them. Hold firm.  (2021)

1 Samuel 22:1-4  David departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. And when his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him. And everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was bitter in soul, gathered to him. And he became commander over them. And there were with him about four hundred men. And David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab. And he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother stay with you, till I know what God will do for me.” And he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.

Have I not saved you from your enemies in the past? Why would I not do so now? Your enemy works hard to derail you. He works hard to disrupt you from within. You are still my valuable child. You are still loved and precious to me. Stay close. Stop listening to the lies and listen only to me. Are you perfect? no. Are you flawed? yes. Do you need to change some parts of yourself and your life? yes. That will be true until you come home to me. Just look to me. Look to my love. Stop looking at yourself and listening to your enemy. (2021)

1 Kings 17:13-16 But Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid! Go ahead and do just what you’ve said, but make a little bread for me first. Then use what’s left to prepare a meal for yourself and your son. For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: There will always be flour and olive oil left in your containers until the time when the Lord sends rain and the crops grow again!” So she did as Elijah said, and she and Elijah and her son continued to eat for many days. There was always enough flour and olive oil left in the containers, just as the Lord had promised through Elijah.

Will you obey as immediately as that woman? She had no way of knowing that what Elijah said would be true. Yet, she obeyed. She had no way of knowing what Elijah’s God was capable of, what he was willing to do. Yet she obeyed. Immediately. And for having faith, for trusting, for obeying – she and her son were cared for. She always had food for herself and her son. Have I not always provided for you? Have you not always had shelter, food, clothing – everything you need? Have you not had enough for yourself and to help others? Trust me. If you know I am asking you to do something, obey. (2021)

2 Samuel 21:22  “These four Philistines were descendants of the giants of Gath, but David and his warriors killed them.”

Your enemy seems too big to be defeated. They are many, yes. They are well entrenched, yes. They are more ruthless and relentless than you all have been. But, they are not mine. They do not have me. David slayed Goliath with a small rock and a very large faith. David’s warriors killed 4 Philistine giants – again with regular weapons but faith in me, that I would be by their side and give them victory. Do you not believe I am still able? Do you not believe I am still willing? You do not really know or understand what I am able to do, what I am willing to do for my children. I have called you to be my warriors. I have called you into the battle to defend my people. I have called you for specific purposes. Do not allow the apparent size of your enemy to daunt you. I am more powerful. Do not allow them to distract you from me, from my voice. Shut it all out and seek me. Spend real time with me and you will hear me, and feel my presence and your ability to trust will be strengthened. But, if you spend all of your time looking at your enemy, listening to their lies, allowing them to instill fear – you will have already lost. They can only harm you in ways that you allow them to. I am in you. I am with you. I am for you. I AM. Trust. Listen and follow my voice, only my voice. Shut their voices out. (2021)

John 16:9 The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me.

And so it is to this day. It is the one and only real sin. Lack of faith in me. Choosing to believe in and worship the enemy. Choosing to ignore me all together. Choosing anything over me. And, those of you, my children, who do choose me – you have a target on your back. Your days will become more and more difficult – not because of you but because of me. Do not ever forget, it is me that they wish to destroy. They try to destroy you because you are made in my image, I am in you and I love you. So, by destroying you, they harm me. But, this will only be allowed to happen for a little while and to a small extent. They may win some battles, but the war is mine. Do not forget that, especially in the coming days. (2021)

John 20:20 As he spoke, he showed them the wounds on his hands and his side. They were filled with joy when they saw the Lord!

Notice that when I revealed myself to Mary Magdalene, she did not need to see any proof of who I was. She knew me. She knew my voice. But when I showed myself to the disciples, I had to show them the wounds on my hands and in my side. You have been a Mary. Continue to do so. I have revealed myself to you on various occasions, and you have chosen to believe. That is the faith that I reward. That is the faith that can move mountains. That is the faith that will conquer your enemy. Stay faithful. Choose to believe – no matter how much opposition you come across. Choose to tap into and use my power, you will need it. Choose to remain. That is the most important choice facing you today. Choose to remain. Stand. Armor up. Faith strong. Defying your enemy. (2022)
