Matthew 27:15-21. Now it was the governor’s custom each year during the Passover celebration to release one prisoner to the crowd- anyone they wanted. This year there was a notorious prisoner, a man named Barabbas. As the crowds gathered before Pilate’s house that morning, he asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you- Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?” (He knew very well that the religious leaders had arrested Jesus out of envy.) ….. Meanwhile the leading priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas to be released and for Jesus to be put to death. So the governor asked again, “Which of these two do you want me to release to you?” The crowd shouted back, “Barabbas!” 

They knew that Barabbas was a murderer. They had also been listening to Jesus, had seen his miraculous healings. Yet, they were deluded into asking that Barabbas be released and Jesus crucified. Do you not see that the blindness all around you is nothing new? Do you not recognize this as an age-old tactic of your enemy? Religious “leaders” lie to the people. They prey on their fear and emotional instability. They push them to make impulsive decisions. And the people – weakened by constant pressure and manipulated by the lies of the enemy – make the wrong decisions. Yet believe in their heart of hearts that they are correct. That you – my children – my followers – are wrong. Are misled. Are evil. And even when they get an inkling of truth – it is so uncomfortable that they are not able to recognize and accept it. They double down on their delusions in order not to feel the discomfort of being wrong, of being manipulated. They are unwilling to admit any of it. That is what you will be seeing. Truth is being revealed. Canada is waking up. Many other nations are waking up and fighting back. But, your Nation will be the weakest link. Your people are so deluded, have been off track for so long, are so dug into their false teaching and beliefs, that though they see truth right in front of them, they will choose not to believe it. They will stick to their false narratives and fight back even harder. It will not be a pretty time in your history, and it will become very difficult for you, my children. 

Psalm 33:18-22 But the Lord watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love. He rescues them from death and keeps them alive in times of famine. We put our hope in the Lord. He is our help and shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone. (2022)

Exodus 34:12-16  “Be very careful never to make a treaty with the people who live in the land where you are going. If you do, you will follow their evil ways and be trapped. Instead, you must break down their pagan altars, smash their sacred pillars, and cut down their Asherah poles. You must worship no other gods, for the Lord, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you. You must not make a treaty of any kind with the people living in the land. They lust after their gods, offering sacrifices to them. They will invite you to join them in their sacrificial meals, and you will go with them. Then you will accept their daughters, who sacrifice to other gods, as wives for your sons. And they will seduce your sons to commit adultery against me by worshiping other gods.”

Do you not see that you are there? Do you not see that the culture of your Nation, which for years has pushed “tolerance” of others, of their beliefs and practices, is what led you to this very moment in your history? Can you not see that making peace with them has led to an infection and weakening of your faith? Has led to you allowing my expulsion from almost every aspect of your society? Has led to you worshiping their gods? Has led to you intermarrying with them – intermingling their false beliefs with my Truth – thus creating a false god which you worship? Do you not see that you have sacrificed Truth, Faith and a relationship with me on the altar of their “tolerance”, their concept of “equity”, their false narratives of “racism” and “sexism” and “gender” issues? Their “all roads lead to god”? It is almost too late to make the choice, but you must: Will you worship me? Follow me? Obey me? Or will you bow to their pressure, their bullying, their false narratives and outright lies? For you stand at the precipice: what you choose today will become your future. You must choose now. The path is being established. Your future as a Nation – and as a world – are being determined right now. You are almost out of time. (2022)

Joshua 1:8-9 “Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. This is my command – be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

These words spoken to Joshua are those I would have you hear and take to heart also. I am your book of instruction. Seek my words. Look to me. Listen to me in the stillness of your heart. Do not allow the noise of the world around you to distract or especially dishearten you. Be careful what you are watching, listening to, reading. The traps are many and have been in place for a long time. And today, the efforts to keep you away from me are increasing. The noise is deafening. But you have known for a long time that it is in me that you find the quiet and calm that you need to hear my voice. Even I had to go away from the loud crowds, the pushing and pulling, the demands for my time and attention, the attacks and accusals of the religious leaders and other enemies. I had to go away into solitude to spend time with my Father, to renew and refresh my spirit and to restore calm resolution. Do the same. Abide in me. Absorb my word constantly. Fellowship with other believers. And diminish the amount of outside noise that would distract you.  (2021)

Psalm 74:1-23.

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame!
In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me, and save me!
Be to me a rock of refuge, to which I may continually come;
you have given the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.

Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
Upon you I have leaned from before my birth; you are he who took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of you.

I have been as a portent to many, but you are my strong refuge.
My mouth is filled with your praise, and with your glory all the day.
Do not cast me off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent.
For my enemies speak concerning me; those who watch for my life consult together
and say, “God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver him.”

O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!
May my accusers be put to shame and consumed; with scorn and disgrace may they be covered who seek my hurt.
But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more.
My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day,
for their number is past my knowledge.
With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come; I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.

O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come. 

Your righteousness, O God, reaches the high heavens.
You who have done great things, O God, who is like you?
You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again;
from the depths of the earth you will bring me up again.
You will increase my greatness and comfort me again.

I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praises to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have redeemed.

I know this is the song of your heart. I am not blind. I am not deaf, not to your cries nor to what the enemy is doing to my people and my land. Be brave. Take heart. All is not lost. I am still your God. I will still defend you. Wait for my timing. Trust me. They will not prevail forever. This is but for a time. (2021)

Deuteronomy 30:2-4, 6  “If at that time you and your children return to the Lord your God, and if you obey with all your heart and all your soul all the commands I have given you today, then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes. He will have mercy on you and gather you back from all the nations where he has scattered you. Even though you are banished to the ends of the earth, the Lord your God will gather you from there and bring you back again. … The Lord your God will change your heart and the hearts of all your descendants, so that you will love him with all your heart and soul and so you may live!” 

Have you not seen this in your own life? Have you not had me restore you and your life after you left the land of alcohol and drug abuse? Have you not seen the miraculous restoration of countless others who abandon lives of sin and return to me with all of their hearts and souls? It does not matter where they wandered – prison, homelessness, drug abuse, alcoholism, affairs and abandoned marriages, prostitution, crime – wherever they may have ended up, when they returned to me with all their heart and soul, when they sought me with honest desire, I restored them. So many miss this. So many say that I am no longer a God of miracles. Yet, restoration happens. Healing happens. (2021)

Deuteronomy 29:1, 9 “These are the terms of the covenant the Lord commanded Moses to make with the Israelites while they were in the land of Moab, in addition to the covenant he had made with them at Mount Sinai. …. Therefore, obey the terms of this covenant so that you will prosper in everything you do.”

When a covenant is made between two people, there are terms for both parties. In my covenants, I promise to protect and prosper my people. My people, in order to be in compliance with the covenant, must comply with my terms – obedience to my Word. So often, my children expect me to bless them, to protect them, to guide them, to be their God while not obeying me, nor getting to know me, or even spending any time with me, outside of an occasional church service. Then, when things don’t go their way, they are mad at me. But covenants require specific behavior from both parties. My children need to be reminded of that. (2021)

Deuteronomy 49-50 “The Lord will bring a distant nation against you from the end of the earth, and it will swoop down on you like a vulture. It is a nation whose language you do not understand, a fierce and heartless nation that shows no respect for the old and no pity for the young.”  

Do you not see this being played out as we speak?  Do you not see that those who are in power do not speak the same language as you? They do not speak the language of honesty, virtue, compassion, belief in me, honoring others, integrity, humility, love, respect for others. They do not respect the old – they have shown that in their treatment of the old in this time of “pandemic”. They show this by the acceptance and furtherance of the elder care facilities. They have sown into your nation, your society, a belief that once parents are old and infirm, they are too much trouble to be cared for by family, that they do not deserve to remain in their homes until death, that they do not deserve to be treated lovingly and respectfully in their old age. No, they are to be shunted off to facilities where they are not a “burden”. They are sent away so as not to interrupt the lives of their children – the same children that interrupted those parents’ lives at their birth. The same children the parents made time for, sacrificed for, lived and at times died for. Those in power do not pity the young. They do not value the lives of the young. Abortion. Abuse. Neglect. Children are a burden these days. What matters is that their parents’ lives are fulfilling, that they are free to realize their potential, reach their dreams.  No, children are not a treasure, they are the result of a lack of planning in moments of self-seeking pleasure. If allowed to be born, they are to be tolerated. They are to be raised by their teachers – with no thought or attention to what they are being taught. And as soon as they are old enough, they are to be sent out into the world to make their own way. (2021)

Deuteronomy 28:33-34 “A foreign nation you have never heard about will eat the crops you worked so hard to grow. You will suffer under constant oppression and harsh treatment. You will go mad because of all the tragedy you see around you.”  

A foreign nation you have never heard about – you have been and are ruled by a group of evil and powerful people who are, in their own right, their own nation. They control the money. They control the politics. They control the media. They control all communicative devices. They control the thinking and belief systems of a great number of your people. They are ruthless and want only more and more power. The oppression has only begun. Masks. Forced shutdowns. Isolation of the elderly and sick. Stay at home requirements. And now-the injections. Get the “vaccine” or you will not be able to….. right now, travel and keep some jobs. Soon – shop, work, travel, move about….. The oppression, now that they have seen they have the power to control so many, will not only not abate, it will grow in scope. Those of you who truly know me, who follow me, who look to me alone already feel your equilibrium shaken as you look around and see what has happened to your nation, to your world. For – do not miss this – this is not just about your nation. Yes, the USA is important, as it has been the most powerful country in the world for some time. But, this is a worldwide effort to enslave. And, sadly, many are handing over their lives happily. (2021)

Luke 10:1-12 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road. When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house. When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you. Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’ I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.”

I am sending you. You are a harvest worker. Pay attention. Some will welcome you and my Word, others reject you. When you see a person’s heart is too hard, move on. When you are openly attacked and rejected, look to Me for strength and comfort and move on. Do not waste time on those who will not hear, who will not repent and be saved, who will not turn to me. Time is too short. Plant your seeds and move on. You will not see the ultimate harvest. Some will respond immediately, some will respond later when you have already left their lives. Some will not respond ever, and will not be saved. You cannot change that. It is their choice. Offer them My Word and allow them to decide what to do with it. Do not allow the darkness and evil of this day to discourage you. I am. I will prevail in My time. (2021)

 “The Levitical priests, all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the Lord’s food offerings as their inheritance. ² They shall have no inheritance among their brothers; the Lord is their inheritance, as he promised them. ³ And this shall be the priests’ due from the people, from those offering a sacrifice, whether an ox or a sheep: they shall give to the priest the shoulder and the two cheeks and the stomach. ⁴ The firstfruits of your grain, of your wine and of your oil, and the first fleece of your sheep, you shall give him. ⁵ For the Lord your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand and minister in the name of the Lord, him and his sons for all time.

The Levitical priests were to have no personal property. They were to own no land therefore nothing was apportioned to them. Why? Because I was their special possession. I was the prize they owned, that the non-Levites did not. What is more precious to you, child? Is it my presence in your life? Is it that I have chosen you to represent me, to tell others what I say? Or is it what you have – where you live, what you drive, what you wear? What is of more value to you? Decide, then live accordingly.

Do not miss that I arranged for their care. They were to lack nothing. They were to be fed, clothed, housed out of the abundance that my people offered up to me. I directly provided for them. Do you not see how I have provided for you over all this time? Do you not see recently the abundance I shower upon you? Why do you clutch at this world? Why do you fret? I do not change. 

Not only did I provide for the Levites, but they were to receive the best of the grain and other offerings. I did not just give anything to them. They were my chosen, specially chosen out of all my people to represent me. That was a cherished position and I treated them as my cherished children. (2021)
