Exodus 13:17 When Pharaoh finally let the people go, God did not lead them along the main road that runs through Philistine territory, even though that was the shortest route to the Promised Land.

This is what happens in your life. I do not act in the ways that you would think. I do not bring things about the most “logical” way. But, will you trust me? Will you believe that I know the best way to do things? Yes, it would be wonderful if I were to fix all the problems in your Nation and world right now. It would be so much easier for you all if I would just eradicate evil from among you. It would be so much better if I would act now. But, trust me that I know this: if everything is too easily remedied, you will not learn and sooner rather than later you all will be right back here. Your memories are very short. Your decisions are too often emotion-based, not well thought out. You want to feel better. But, do you want to BE better? Do you want to become more like me? Do you want to do what is right in the long term for your Nation? Do you want to finally really be rid of the evil that you all have invited in for so many years? Yes, I can fix it all instantly. I can reveal it all in one second. I can make everyone see Truth and Light. But, that does not work with you all. And, deep down, you know it. Stay close. Trust me and trust my timing and my methods. Your best ideas have not worked……

Ezekiel 7:1-4 The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says to the land of Israel: ‘The end! The end has come  upon the four corners of the land!  The end is now upon you, and I will unleash my anger against you. I will judge you according to your conduct  and repay you for all your detestable practices. I will not look on you with pity;  I will not spare you. I will surely repay you for your conduct and for the detestable practices among you. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

Do you see how Ezekiel’s warning to the Israelites pertains to you, also?  Your “things” will not help you in the end.  It is worthless trash compared to your salvation, your relationship with me.  You have much, and I have given it to you.  But you are so wrapped up in the things of life on this earth that you are forgetting what is really real – eternity.  You are forgetting and forsaking what is important – knowing me, obeying me, being my child.  When will you remember that everything you have been focusing on for the last few years is perishable – is in truth nothing.  I am eternal.  Your time with me – or without me – will be forever, endless.  What do you want to obtain – what do you want to attain during these years that I will give you?  Do you want to have a perfect house?  A nice car?  A job that will make you feel good, useful, etc.?  Or do you want to know me?  To understand what is important?  To live a life of righteousness, where you are always comfortable around me?  Do you want to prepare for an eternity spent with me – or just a few “comfortable” years spent on earth?  Decide child.  Though I will always be here, you are losing opportunity.  And your time could end at any moment.

Your level of maturity has slipped.  It can be restored, but it does not just appear.  You will have to work for it.  I want you to be mature in my word.  Mature in your thought processes.  Mature in your decisions.  Mature enough to overcome your emotions and make good choices.  I will give you wisdom and maturity.  But you must seek me in order to avail yourself of these gifts. (2004)

Exodus 9:14 “Let my people go so they can worship me. If you don’t, I will send more plagues on you and your officials and your people. Then you will know that there is no one like me in all the earth.”

Just as had to happen to prove to Pharaoh and the Egyptians that I alone am God, so will have to happen to your world. It will require epic judgment. It will require something big enough to get their attention. I will protect you, as I did my people in the judgments against Pharaoh and his people. But, it will be horrific and everyone will be affected. Stand firm. Stand close. Look to me. Not around. Not at those around you. But to me. And do not allow the fear mongering of your enemy to take root in your heart.  (2022)

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.”

Woe to those who are harming my children. Woe to those who are mandating policies that bring them harm. Woe to those parents who do not protect them. There is judgment waiting for all who have harmed my innocent ones. They are a treasure given by me and are to be treated as such. They are defenseless and look to parents to protect them. Yet they are being harmed. (2022)

Exodus 8:25 Pharoah called for Moses and Aaron. “All right! Go ahead and offer sacrifices to your God,” he said. “But do it here in this land.” 

How like your enemy. Pretending to capitulate to my commands. Yet, not. You see it every day in the way your people are yanked back and forth over mandates, masks, injections…. You are manipulated back and forth, keeping all of you off kilter. The only way to stand firm is to know me, my commands, my voice. If you are to see the deception, you must be personally familiar with the Truth. If you are to stand firm in my commands, my Truths, my desires for your lives, you must know me. The more time you spend with me, the more defense you have against their evil, their lies, the darkness encroaching upon every aspect of life in this world today. It is all about me. Your relationship with me. Only me. Anything else is counterfeit. Anything else is false promise. Anything else is a trap to further enslave you. Eyes open. (2022)

Exodus 8:15 But when Pharaoh saw that relief had come, he became stubborn. He refused to listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.

How like you all. You pray for my help, for my intervention in dire circumstances. You have faith when you need me. Yet, once all is again well with your life, you walk away – you forget me. Your faith evaporates and you go on in self-will and believing the lies of the enemy as to what will bring you pleasure, what will bring you success, what will bring you safety and wellness, what will bring you the “treasures” you seek that are of no eternal value. This has been your pattern since the beginning of time. When will you learn? When will you look with spiritual eyes, not carnal? When will you see that your enemy is your enemy – no matter how well-disguised, how successfully he pretends to be me? (2022)

Exodus 8:7 But the magicians were able to do the same thing with their magic. They, too, caused frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.

Your enemy has always tried to step into my place. And your people are fooled when they do not know me well enough to tell the difference. You see it today in your world. Your enemy has convinced people that the “science” is what will keep them alive and well, that the “leaders” of this world can keep them safe. What they do not see is that the same people who are killing them are the ones they are trusting to save them. They are too blind to see that the enemy that they trust is trying to harm me by harming you. That you are not important in any way shape or form to them except as chattel and inferior beings that are of no concern. That harming my children is the only way they can harm me. It is more important than ever that you know me, that you spend time with me, that you know how to discern what is of me and what is of the enemy. You have no defense against them except through me. And you can not avail yourself of my power, of my safety, of my invincibility unless you know me, you look to me and only me. (2022)

Revelation 19  After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for his judgments are true and just; for he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and has avenged on her the blood of his servants.” Once more they cried out, “Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.” And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!” And from the throne came a voice saying, “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great.” Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure”— for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come, gather for the great supper of God, to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great.” And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

What do you treasure?  What do you mourn? Man treasures what glitters, those things that make his life pleasurable. He mourns the loss of ease, of flattery, of goods. When all of these things are taken away, what is left? I am left. Honor, integrity, sacrifice, love, peace – all of that is left. What is your choice? You can worship, desire, treasure those things that are of this world – all that glitters and pampers and makes you “feel good”. Or you can treasure me – and what I stand for. One choice leads to the temporal. The other leads to the eternal. What is your choice? You say “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Is that really true? Search your heart. Live accordingly.

Woe to those who call themselves my “shepherds”. Those who purport to “prophesy” in my name. If they are not truly aligned with me, there will be a harsh price to pay. I will strike them down and banish them from my presence for eternity. Search your hearts. Whose words do you share? Are they really mine? What proof do you have?  Be a Berean. Check every word you utter and every word you hear. Remember my warning – there will be a multitude of “preachers” who will say whatever people want to hear. Little to none of it will be of me. Careful. Eternity is at stake. (2018)

Zechariah 8:1-23. And the word of the Lord of hosts came, saying, “Thus says the Lord of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath. Thus says the Lord: I have returned to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, and Jerusalem shall be called the faithful city, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, the holy mountain. Thus says the Lord of hosts: Old men and old women shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each with staff in hand because of great age. And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets. Thus says the Lord of hosts: If it is marvelous in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my sight, declares the Lord of hosts? Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country, and I will bring them to dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in faithfulness and in righteousness.” Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Let your hands be strong, you who in these days have been hearing these words from the mouth of the prophets who were present on the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built. For before those days there was no wage for man or any wage for beast, neither was there any safety from the foe for him who went out or came in, for I set every man against his neighbor. But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as in the former days, declares the Lord of hosts. For there shall be a sowing of peace. The vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its produce, and the heavens shall give their dew. And I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things. And as you have been a byword of cursing among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. Fear not, but let your hands be strong.” For thus says the Lord of hosts: “As I purposed to bring disaster to you when your fathers provoked me to wrath, and I did not relent, says the Lord of hosts, so again have I purposed in these days to bring good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah; fear not. These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace; do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and love no false oath, for all these things I hate, declares the Lord.” And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying, “Thus says the Lord of hosts: The fast of the fourth month and the fast of the fifth and the fast of the seventh and the fast of the tenth shall be to the house of Judah seasons of joy and gladness and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace. “Thus says the Lord of hosts: Peoples shall yet come, even the inhabitants of many cities. The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, ‘Let us go at once to entreat the favor of the Lord and to seek the Lord of hosts; I myself am going.’ Many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of the Lord. Thus says the Lord of hosts: In those days ten men from the nations of every tongue shall take hold of the robe of a Jew, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”

Jerusalem was in ruins, devoid of my people, just as your country is currently populated with people whose hearts are in ruins, who do not know me or do not follow me. They are empty vessels, but I am willing to inhabit any and all hearts that turn to me in honest desire.  Just as I was able to rescue my people from all over and return them to Jerusalem, so I can restore this country to what it once was. If my people will turn to me, repent and truly follow me. Not follow a definition of me that suits them, not follow a false me, not follow a me that glorifies them. If my children would repent of their sin, especially the sin of the worship of false gods, then I will inhabit them and they will restore this country. Just as I told Zechariah to finish the task of building my temple, so I will tell you to complete your task. You are also laying a foundation and helping to build, but not a temple of stone. You are busy on the construction of a people who are mine. You are to continue working on leading others to me, showing others how to live close to me, battling against evil and dark forces.Just as Israel and Judah became known as cursed nations, so the USA is becoming more of a laughing-stock for the rest of the world; your country is no longer respected as it once was; it is no longer feared; it is no longer a shining beacon of light to the rest of the world. I will restore that, once my people have returned to me and are ready to live correctly. Do not allow false teachers or prophets to speak lies when you hear them. Honor me, above all else. Seek my face, my word, my instruction, my pride in how you are living. But, in order to reach the time of redemption, the time when I will restore your nation and its people, my temple must be rebuilt. Stay the course. (2018)

Zechariah 10:1-12 Ask rain from the Lord in the season of the spring rain, from the Lord who makes the storm clouds, and he will give them showers of rain, to everyone the vegetation in the field. For the household gods utter nonsense, and the diviners see lies; they tell false dreams and give empty consolation.
Therefore the people wander like sheep; they are afflicted for lack of a shepherd. “My anger is hot against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders; for the Lord of hosts cares for his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them like his majestic steed in battle. From him shall come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler—all of them together. They shall be like mighty men in battle, trampling the foe in the mud of the streets; they shall fight because the Lord is with them, and they shall put to shame the riders on horses. “I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back because I have compassion on them, and they shall be as though I had not rejected them, for I am the Lord their God and I will answer them. Then Ephraim shall become like a mighty warrior, and their hearts shall be glad as with wine. Their children shall see it and be glad; their hearts shall rejoice in the Lord. “I will whistle for them and gather them in, for I have redeemed them, and they shall be as many as they were before. Though I scattered them among the nations, yet in far countries they shall remember me, and with their children they shall live and return.
I will bring them home from the land of Egypt, and gather them from Assyria, and I will bring them to the land of Gilead and to Lebanon, till there is no room for them. He shall pass through the sea of  troubles and strike down the waves of the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall be dried up. The pride of Assyria shall be laid low, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart. I will make them strong in the Lord, and they shall walk in his name,” declares the Lord.

You all do wander like lost sheep. You look to so many useless things for answers – crystals, psychics, the natural world, politics, movements, causes, other humans. You look everywhere but to me, the only one who can help you. I bring the rain. I bring the sun. I create everything. You are nothing without me. Yet, you are too stubborn and prideful to submit to me. That is why this world is in such turmoil. That is the cause for war, strife, hatred, racism, ugliness of all sorts. That is why you cannot find peace. You cannot end violence. You cannot end the destruction of marriages and families. Only I can do all that. Only I can change the human heart and bring love out of hatred, lightness from darkness, hope from desperation, healing from infirmity. I AM. It is that simple, yet endlessly difficult for you humans. When will you learn? The evidence is everywhere. In your history. In your daily lives. In the patterns that you follow. In what seems to be your inevitable futures. Wake up. Insanity reigns – you all continue to do what you know does not work. When something breaks, do you believe that you are capable to fixing it? Like a car, can all of you repair a car that does not run?  No – you seek a qualified mechanic. Yet, when it comes to those intricate, intangible parts of the human spirit – love, hatred, bitterness, hope, desperation, violence, suffering, etc. – you all believe you have the answers. What do you know of the human spirit, really? Did you create it?  Did you breathe life into it? Are men your children? No, it is I who created you all. It is I who is father to every life entity. So, why do you not seek me to guide you, to heal you, to “fix” you and your society? It is a vortex – you all just keep getting sucked deeper and deeper into your own selfish pride and ambitions. It will be the ruin of you. Look around, it is already decimating you all.

Yet, even now, after generations of being ignored by most of you, being disdained and hated by so many of you – my own children – I am willing to forgive and heal you. I am willing to restore your relationships with me. But you must turn to me. You must relinquish what is broken to me, the master creator. Relinquish your wants, your pride, your damaged emotions, your selfish desires and plans – submit. Repent. It is one thing to be sorry for what is happening, to desire it be fixed, yet another to truly repent. Repentance requires taking a new path. Turning from what was to what I lead you to. But, time is running out. Watch the clock. It ticks toward my return, when all will be made well. Will you be with me, or against me? It is your choice. (2018)
