The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. Do not fear what you see with your eyes, but your
Father in Heaven, who knows all things.
I see and I do according to My will.
You see but you do not have full understanding, for My ways are much
higher than your ways. You seen in part,
while I see in full, and this day is a day that will bring fear to many if you
have not yet given your lives to Me.
Even as you have surrendered to Me, many of you still want to have
control in your lives, to make your own choices based on what you see. But this will prove to be dangerous if you
move without My guidance. The enemy of
your soul is reacting with force in the earth right now, for he knows his time is
very short indeed, and he is prowling about as a lion seeking to destroy
you. But if you are surrendered to Me
and follow My way for you, then the enemy cannot touch you for you are right
with Me, and My promises to you are true.
The time that is written about in My Word is now being fulfilled. Pray.
Matt 23:1-39 (ESV) Then Jesus said to the crowds and
to his disciples, 2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses'
seat, 3 so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works
they do. For they preach, but do not practice. 4 They tie up heavy
burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves
are not willing to move them with their finger. 5 They do all their
deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their
fringes long, 6 and they love the place of honor at feasts and the
best seats in the synagogues 7 and greetings in the marketplaces and
being called rabbi by others. 8 But you are not to be called rabbi,
for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 And call no
man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10
Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ. 11
The greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 Whoever exalts
himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. 13
“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of
heaven in people's faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who
would enter to go in. 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and
when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as
yourselves. 16 “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘If anyone swears
by the temple, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple,
he is bound by his oath.’ 17 You blind fools! For which is greater,
the gold or the temple that has made the gold sacred? 18 And you
say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the
gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.’ 19 You blind
men! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20
So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21
And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it. 22
And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits
upon it. 23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you
tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the
law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without
neglecting the others. 24 You blind guides, straining out a gnat and
swallowing a camel! 25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they
are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 You blind Pharisee! First
clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean. 27
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed
tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's
bones and all uncleanness. 28 So you also outwardly appear righteous
to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. 29 “Woe
to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the
prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous, 30 saying, ‘If
we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them
in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 Thus you witness against
yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill
up, then, the measure of your fathers. 33 You serpents, you brood of
vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell? 34 Therefore
I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and
crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to
town, 35 so that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on
earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of
Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. 36
Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. 37
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who
are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen
gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! 38 See,
your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not
see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the
Lord.’”
