The Lord is saying: My loves, it is I, your Creator speaking with you this day. I Am that I Am, and I Am good. When you walk in the earth and you recognize Me, then you are in the right way, the right path, for those who do not recognize Me as their Creator and Savior, they are on the path of destruction that ends in eternal death. I know this is a difficult thing for many of you to receive, but this is why I reach out to you continually, to save you from this path of death and destruction. There is one God, and One mediator between God and men, and that is My Son, Jesus, the Messiah, the Christ over all. It is He who is the only way into My presence. It is He, who laid down His life as a perfect sacrifice for the sin of all mankind, and He is the only One worthy of praise, for through Him is life, and life eternal. Do not neglect Him today, for tomorrow is not guaranteed for you, as I may ask of your life even this evening. Consider what I Am saying to you and take it very seriously, for the end of all things has arrived and you don’t want to be judged as an unbeliever. I Am but a prayer away.
1 Thess 2:1-16 (ESV) For you yourselves know, brothers, that our coming to you was not in vain. 2 But though we had already suffered and been shamefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we had boldness in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in the midst of much conflict. 3 For our appeal does not spring from error or impurity or any attempt to deceive, 4 but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts. 5 For we never came with words of flattery, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—God is witness. 6 Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others, though we could have made demands as apostles of Christ. 7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children. 8 So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us. 9 For you remember, brothers, our labor and toil: we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God. 10 You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers. 11 For you know how, like a father with his children, 12 we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory. 13 And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers. 14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews, 15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all mankind 16 by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them at last!
