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)

Zechariah 9:1-17 The oracle of the word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrach and Damascus is its resting place. For the Lord has an eye on mankind and on all the tribes of Israel, and on Hamath also, which borders on it, Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise. Tyre has built herself a rampart and heaped up silver like dust, and fine gold like the mud of the streets. But behold, the Lord will strip her of her possessions and strike down her power on the sea, and she shall be devoured by fire. Ashkelon shall see it, and be afraid; Gaza too, and shall writhe in anguish; Ekron also, because its hopes are confounded. The king shall perish from Gaza; Ashkelon shall be uninhabited; a mixed people shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of Philistia. I will take away its blood from its mouth, and its abominations from between its teeth; it too shall be a remnant for our God; it shall be like a clan in Judah, and Ekron shall be like the Jebusites. Then I will encamp at my house as a guard, so that none shall march to and fro; no oppressor shall again march over them, for now I see with my own eyes. Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the war horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall speak peace to the nations; his rule shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. As for you also, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double. For I have bent Judah as my bow; I have made Ephraim its arrow. I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and wield you like a warrior’s sword. Then the Lord will appear over them, and his arrow will go forth like lightning; the Lord God will sound the trumpet and will march forth in the whirlwinds of the south. The Lord of hosts will protect them, and they shall devour, and tread down the sling stones, and they shall drink and roar as if drunk with wine, and be full like a bowl, drenched like the corners of the altar. On that day the Lord their God will save them, as the flock of his people; for like the jewels of a  crown they shall shine on his land. For how great is his goodness, and how great his beauty! Grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the young women. 

My enemies will be vanquished. Those who do not follow me will not prevail. They have built wealth, surrounded themselves with luxury, created fortresses in which they feel safe. But all that will cease to exist. The question is – whom do you serve? Continue to serve me, even when all around you seems to suggest that life is easier – better – when you serve yourself – money – fame. Those are fleeting, and at the end of your time will mean nothing. When I return, all will be stripped away. Many will be lost, but some will be saved by turning to me. See, even at the last minute, there is hope for the lost. When I return, I will take up the battle for you. You will be at peace. (2018) 

Deuteronomy 28:1-14 “If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully keep all his commands that I am giving you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the world. You will experience all these blessings if you obey the Lord your God: Your towns and your fields will be blessed. Your children and your crops will be blessed. The offspring of your herds and flocks will be blessed. Your fruit baskets and breadboards will be blessed. Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be blessed. The Lord will conquer your enemies when they attack you. They will attack you from one direction, but they will scatter from you in seven! The Lord will guarantee a blessing on everything you do and will fill your storehouses with grain. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you. If you obey the commands of the Lord your God and walk in his ways, the Lord will establish you as his holy people as he swore he would do. Then all the nations of the world will see that you are a people claimed by the Lord, and they will stand in awe of you. The Lord will give you prosperity in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you, blessing you with many children, numerous livestock, and abundant crops. The Lord will send rain at the proper time from his rich treasury in the heavens and will bless all the work you do. You will lend to many nations, but you will never need to borrow from them. If you listen to these commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today, and if you carefully obey them, the Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you will always be on top and never at the bottom. You must not turn away from any of the commands I am giving you today, nor follow after other gods and worship them.”

And so it was in the beginning and for quite a few years for your nation. You followed me and obeyed my commands and I blessed your nation. But, as always with my people, slowly the compromises slipped in. One small thing here, another there. Until your hearts were gradually hardened to me, and open to the enemy who offered “happiness” and “authentic living” and “prosperity” and “ease” and “pleasure”. So many false promises and false gods to worship. And I was inched out of your personal lives, your homes, your neighborhoods, your cities and ultimately your nation. It was, as is all incremental sin, hard to spot as it happened. But it is impossible to miss now. You are a godless nation, but for my remnant.  (2021)

Revelation 14:1-20 Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven like the roar of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder. The voice I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps, and they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. It is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb, and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are blameless. Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.” Another angel, a second, followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality.” And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.” Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!” Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand. And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.” So he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth, and the earth was reaped. Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Put in your sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.” So the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape harvest of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress, as high as a horse’s bridle, for 1,600 stadia.

All who are mine are marked. That mark is not visible to the human eye, but you have been given the spirit of discernment. You know who is truly mine. Pay attention. Do not align yourself with those who are not mine. That is not to say do not associate with them. You must, if you are to help them understand my word and what I am. But do not follow anyone that does not bear my mark. The times are perilous. Your enemy knows how to speak in a way that sounds like it comes from me. Pray over everything. When in doubt, back out. Better to pull away at the wrong moment than to be drawn into lies and deception. 

The day is drawing near. Babylon will be soundly defeated. I will return to judge your earth. Do not be found on the wrong side of that judgment.  Help as many as possible to see truth. You fear what will happen here. Fear what will happen after I return. What is allowed to happen here before my return will pale in comparison to what will occur to those who find themselves on the wrong side of my judgment. I have given you a heart of love for the lost, beginning with your brothers. It is a source of sadness and pain for you, I know. But it is necessary for you to feel these things that you might power through and keep working to help them. If you did not feel such love, you would be able to just walk away and leave them to their own end. Yet, you cannot. You are not weak, you are not codependent. You are on a mission from me. Yes, you are in a deep spiritual battle with your brothers. They are enveloped in darkness. Pray fervently before dealing with them. But do not give up on them, I have not. There is yet a chance for their salvation. No, you cannot save them, but you can assist them in seeing Truth.  Their souls are wrapped in lies. Eternally deadly lies. Hang in there. What surrounds them cannot harm you. You are mine. I have already defeated that darkness. Those spirits know that you are mine. That is why they continually attempt to weaken you, to frighten you, to push you back. Stand firm. You are mine and I am yours. They have no power over you other than what you give them. Give no ground. Do not move. I will fight this battle for you. You are surrounded by my warriors. They will allow no real harm to come to you. Do you believe? Will you trust? It all hinges on the answers to those two questions. Yes, your belief and trust will waver. I know. I understand. Just allow me to fortify you in both areas. Ask, my child. Constantly seek my help. Choose to trust. Choose to believe. First the choice, then come the assurances. You are my precious child. I will not allow your ultimate defeat, though there will be setbacks. Power on.

Yes, this is harsh. There will be persecution. There is much persecution of my followers already. It is growing all over the world. It is surprisingly prevalent in this hemisphere. Yes, you are used to seeing and reading about persecution of believers in Africa, in muslim nations, in Asia. But here…in the US, in Canada, in Europe? Yes, even in all these places. It has begun and will continue and worsen. Be prepared. You enemy may “win” some battles, but is aware that the overall war has already been won by me. Hence, his upswing in attacks. The time is growing short. He knows that. But, so do you. Hang on to that knowledge. I am coming soon. (12/2018)

2 Kings 17:15 “They worshiped worthless idols and became worthless themselves.  They followed the example of the nations around them disobeying the Lord’s command not to imitate them.”   

Watch yourself, see how much you follow those of the world.  How much are you obeying me?  How much of your life is patterned after My Word, and how much after what is around you on this earth?  Watch you don’t become as worthless as the Israelites were to Me at this point. Just as I allowed my people to be conquered and carried off to Assyria, so you, too, will be carried off by whatever it is that you follow.  How far away from Me are you right now?  How much farther do you wish to go?  You have strayed from Me, from My path.  You have allowed the sinful desires and practices of this world to distract and mislead you.  Be careful. Take note of what happens after time.  Are you not afraid of becoming even more enslaved to your lusts and desires, to this world?  You should be. Just as wrong as it was for the new settlers in Israel to worship idols in my towns, so is it wrong for you to worship me in my Church, while bowing to idols in your life. (2005)
