Time To Let Go

My people, do you realize just how limited you are?  Limited how?  Limited in being able to decree proper judgments.

My people have more opinions than the sand of the sea.  You hear one fact, one rumor, one tale, and you are so quick to pronounce your verdict.  You see your leaders do something you do not like, nor understand, and your emotions rise up and overwhelm you.  With a fraction of the facts at your disposal, you are ready to pronounce curses of every sort.  Like the fallen watchers of old, who thought they could rule mankind better than I, so you too are tempted to act like ‘little gods’, and speak of things that you know not.

My church, is it not better to take your burdens to me?  Is it not better to lay your grievances at my feet, and let the King of the Universe decide what is best?  But no, you rather wish to fight and argue.  Filled with anger and anxiety, full of fear, you recklessly pronounce judgment on things that are too high for you.

This is one of the reasons that I rarely reveal to you more than you need to know.  If you are tempted to judge when you know so little, what shall you do if you know much?  Your pride constantly tugs at your soul.  I keep advising you to stay out of Babylon, to flee Babylon, yet you would not.  Instead, your pride draws you back in, wallowing in their swamp.  Lured by what you hear and see, your heart is continually filled with the fear of man, and you speak out of that fear.  Thus my peace eludes you.  You are forsaking your inheritance in order for the pride of your own heart to have its say.

By these words I do not mean what the false shepherds teach.  When they say: ‘judge not’, they mean close your eyes to their evil deeds, which are plain to all.  No, what I mean is stop focusing on the evil deeds of the pagan that is round about.  How do you think pagans will behave?  Is it not in their nature to act they way that they do?  Instead of trusting in my divine will, you spend so much time attempting to dissect the antics of those in Babylon.

My people,  I continue to call you out.  Out of Babylon,  Out of Egypt.  Out of the world’s system, where there is nothing but snares and traps awaiting you.  Away from scrutinizing every political move of those whom I have put in place as judgments upon you.  Embracing divine providence means resting in the choices that I have made for you.  Whether for good, or for evil, will you trust me?  Will you at least understand that I know things that you do not?

Cease from striving to guess the motivations and strategies of those set above you.  I have placed them there, and I shall reward and punish them as I see fit.  Make not the same mistakes as the fallen ones, who thought that they could rule the world better than their god.  Let not your heart be as deceived as theirs were.

My people, I speak these things not to children, but to young men (and women).  I speak to those who have ears to hear.  Put aside that childish idea of having to have an opinion on everything.  Forsake this curiosity of having to know exactly what Babylon is doing, and why it is doing it.  At the end, does it really matter?  Babylon has fallen, has fallen.  It is destined to perish, and be remembered no more.

On the other hand, what you do for my kingdom is destined to live on forever.  Every soul you help, every deed you do in my name, shall not be forgotten by my Father.

Your inheritance includes peace.  Peace that passeth all understanding.  Do you not long for that peace?  Does it not appeal to you?  It can only be obtained if you forsake one kingdom and embrace the other.  You cannot obtain the treasures of heaven by keeping your feet in both worlds.

As time grows short, many strange things are destined to come to pass.  Your task is to learn how to live in the midst of all these things.  While the world plunges deeper into fear and despair, my people are not to be so.  You are to be a bright shining light in the darkness.  A harbor of peace, where sinking ships may find refuge.

But it all starts with letting go.  Let go of the need to judge all things that are beyond you.  Is it not enough to judge yourselves?  Isn’t that a task that I have placed before each and every one of you?  Which one of you has perfectly completed that task?

I say all these things to you to equip you.  To equip you for the days ahead.  Without my peace, your days will become intolerable.  Without contentment, your heart will continually be tempted to go after the wrong things.  Let go of this world, in order that you may gain the next.  Only the pure in heart shall truly see their God.  Only the truly meek shall find the grace needed to emerge victorious over the challenges ahead.
