To my fellow patriots...Do
not despair! But rather, take heart... a message of hope to those
'who have ears to hear'...
I felt strongly this
morning from the Lord, to encourage you all, to speak comfort to
you...
Do not despair, do not
think that all will be lost or that evil will triumph. Though it seem
for a time that evil threatens to overwhelm you, take heart and stand
strong. It will look and seem for a time that evil is stronger than
good but this is merely an illusion... for in reality, God sheds
light on evil in order to expose it...and the more it is exposed, the
larger and more sinister it will appear. But God has purpose for
allowing this to happen. He is far more concerned with exposing evil
to its very base core and showing it in its fullest light in order
that those who have been blinded and deceived by it, will see it in
all clarity. There will be no doubt in the end, whatsoever, and the
gaping chasm between good and evil will be impossible to ignore. He
does this to bring those who will seek Him to their knees and those
who will not seek Him, to be without excuse.
It is more important to
God...of utmost importance to Him... that sin be exposed in the
hearts of men in order to recognize their lost state and then turn to
Him in repentance so He can forgive them. It is more important that
man be humbled before God than to have physical comforts. He is a
gracious God, full of compassion but He is also a holy God that
cannot bless a nation given over to pride, greed, the shed blood of
innocents and wanton immorality. It is not just those in power that
are taken over with evil, but the people also have hearts full of sin
and wickedness. We often use the scripture “If my people, who
are called by My name, would humble themselves and pray and
seek My face, and
turn
from their wicked ways, then will I hear from
heaven, and forgive their sin, and will heal their land” ll Chr. 7:14 But
we keep leaving out the parts in bold lettering! God does not hear
any other kind of prayer. God does not hear the prayer of the
ungodly, the unrepentant; He does not hear the prayer of the wicked.
And He does not hear the prayer of those who 'worship Him with their
mouths but their hearts are far from Him”... and He certainly, and
most emphatically does not hear the prayer of those 'who call evil
good and good evil, who call darkness light and light darkness' Isaiah 5:20. He
only hears the prayer of the humble (bowing before Him with no
pretense and with full recognition of His majesty), contrite and
broken spirit (acknowledging their sin before Him and coming before
the cross of Christ with sorrow over sin and seeking forgiveness)
And forgiveness flows from His hands readily along with great and
compassionate mercy.
“Let the wicked man
forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the
Lord and He will have mercy upon him, unto our God and He will freely
pardon”! Isaiah 55:7
