Guard your heart, for out of it flow the issues of life.

My people, why are you so careless?  Why do you let your thoughts linger in unrighteous paths?  You know if what you are thinking upon is not of me, yet you choose to let the thoughts of the flesh rule your heart instead of the thoughts of my Spirit.

My church, do you not know how dangerous that is?  Have I not shown you many examples recently of what occurs to those who refuse to bend the knee to the simple truths that I have made clear?  Have there not been several famous personalities, who were not of me, yet my restraining hand of grace was upon them?  Revealing truth to them, so that I could use them for my purposes?  All the while wooing and gently coaxing them to bend the knee to the king of the universe?

But they would not!  They would not, so I removed my restraining hand from off their life.  And quickly they fell into darkness.  Suddenly, they become consumed with one lie or another.  Wreaking havoc and spreading confusion, ensnaring other souls who likewise refuse to understand that all I am doing in their lands is not to restore freedom.  Nor is it to restore the republic, or the rule of law, but to make all men aware of one thing and one thing only.  And that is the true state of their souls.  Their utter depravity and wretchedness in my Father’s eyes.

So many patriots believe they have their priorities in order.  They think spending their lives in order to restore a form of government of their preference and choice is what is most important.  That may be all that matters to those who know me not.  But my people are not to be so inclined.

Did I not say that my kingdom is not of this world?  Why are so many of my people only focused on the antics of Babylon?  Where has your burden for souls gone?  Why have you allowed yourselves to grow so cold to the eternal fate of your friends and neighbors that are all around you?  Do you also wish to tempt me to remove my restraining hand from off your life?

My body, these things ought not to be.  My word commands you to cleanse yourself of all defilement of flesh and spirit.  You must choose to snap out of your deceit.  You must choose to awaken, o sleeper.  It is not up to me to make you do these things.  You need to choose what is important, and what is not.

The kingdoms of this world come and go.  They rise, and they fall.  But my word, it abides forever.  My kingdom, it shall never pass away.

Do not allow yourself to become a candidate of deception.  Have you noticed how quickly people are being turned over to the darkness in their hearts that they have refused to let go of?

I leave you with a choice.  Choose to let go of that thing, that error, that prejudice, that false belief, that lust, that sin, that stumbling block in your heart that you have cherished and nurtured for so long.  Choose to let go, or I will make that choice for you.  If you refuse to let go of that thing I have been warning you about, then you risk losing my favor.  Where once my patience lingered long over the stubborn and the lazy, the season of judgment that is now upon you does not allow for such luxury.  While many of you think that the worst is over, sudden destruction is yet appointed.

Do not allow foolish thinking to rule your life anymore.  The flesh always desires to put off what is painful.  The body wants to postpone the denying of itself for as long as possible.  Even as those in my word who thought their master was never coming back, only to be surprised at the worst possible moment, so shall be the fate for some of you if you so not heed this warning.

What I say to you, I say to all of my children.  The time for procrastination is over.  Make ready for your king, or risk losing your place in his heavenly kingdom.  Do what I have been telling you to do, or risk losing that voice of conviction within.  My Spirit shall not strive with you forever.

Repent, for I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to give to every man according as his work shall be.  Obedience is what I reward, not gifts.  You may move mountains by my gifts and grace, but will you truly choose to deny yourself, pick up your cross daily, and follow me?  Of will you choose to trust in your past accomplishments?  Know you not that it is not how you begin the race, but how you end it?  Far too many began their race well, but did not finish.

I exhort you all to settle it in your hearts to finish the race, and finish it well.  Now is not the time to relax.  Now is not the time to take a spiritual vacation.  You all know antichrist is coming.  His power grows stronger, whether clearly in manifestation or not.  But you need not fear, if you do what I say.  Take these words to heart and do them, and you shall have no cause to stumble.  Ignore them, and you risk losing what you have fought so hard to gain.
