THE SORROW OF THE FATHER


It is with a heavy heart that I speak with you this day. Much, in fact, most of the world has chosen the path of darkness, the angel of death and destruction. I see continual rebellion, and a constant desire for things of the flesh. Every aspect of your societies reflect this fact, and it brings such sorrow to Me, your Heavenly Father. How is a Father to accept the fact that although I have given you the free will, the innate spirit within you that is a part of Me, most of you still choose death? And not only this physical death in your members, your body, but an eternal death with consequences so painful, that you could have no idea even what you have chosen for yourself for all time. I have poured out a love on My people always, a love that transcends anything you could ever experience here in this life as you know it. Yet, you crave this darkness, you desire it wholeheartedly, and completely, and you leave no room for Me, your Creator, to fill any space in your lives. You have shunned Me at every turn, and vehemently denied even My existence. How is this possible in you? How can you not comprehend that you have a wonderful, loving, forgiving Father that has promised to care for you and provide for you as long as you turn to Me? I offer eternal life, but death and darkness is your path. This perverse generation is no different than those of the past, and I am a just God. If I did not withhold My hand of judgement on those nations, then why would I withhold My hand now, when so many mock Me and My commandments? You are so blazen and unabashed in your pride and your demonstrations of obedience and reverance to satan, hence, observe your most recent world event, the Olympics. What an opportunity for My people to represent Me, to show Me all of the glory, the honor, and the praise and adoration. Many athletes did just that, and I hold them dear to My heart and I will continue to bless them. However, what a spectacle to witness as you celebrated and elevated demonic rituals, traditions and mock sacrifices to the king of the underworld through your music, costumes, and styles of dancing. You paid homage to the New World Order and the powers that now govern your everyday life. How revolting and disgusting was this to me as your Heavenly Father, the One who created you with a specific mission, a purpose, and a destination of eternity with Me in My Kingdom. You crave sensuality and idolatry, and  I am turning you over to all of these things. I will give you all that you desire, for as I have said before, it is your free will that I respect. You have abandoned Me, but I will still, never abandon you. You may still turn to Me at any time and repent, fall on your faces and ask Me to change your hardened hearts and restore  you and it will be granted. This is My earnest desire for all of you walking in darkness, and this hell on earth that you have created for yourselves. You are walking on a sea of very, very thin ice which at any moment will crack completely and swallow you whole. My people ! There is always hope though for those who seek it. There is always Me. Know this as well. I have allowed  enemy nations to come in very close proximity to your land. I have allowed the enemy from the east access to your borders, they are even within your nation and at your gates. Your high towers will be brought low, the exalted will be humbled. Missiles will reign down from the sky and the fires you are experiencing now are nothing in comparison to what I am about to do. Some cities will become uninhabitable and places will cease to exist. I will continue to dry up your rivers and your streams and you will see who it is who has been  providing  for you. My hand of protection will no longer be with you as I give you over to your desires. Your government here in America has betrayed its own for the New World Order which is to come and will rule for a short time. You were the greatest nation on earth, and you were meant to lead by example. I  watch in horror as you murder millions of innocent souls each year, and fight to keep these laws enacted.  You have mirrored the idolatry, fornication, and wickedness of other nations and then expounded on them, bragging and wallowing in your own filth. So now, your pride and your greed and your disobedience will bring your utter destruction. Woe to those who have immersed themselves in their own mire, disregarding My gift of love and unity with Me in My Kingdom. I am a righteous God and I will be vindicated and all will know that I am God Almighty. I urge you if you have not already chosen Light, do so now, for the time of the end is upon you. 
Your Loving and Ever-Merciful Father.

James 4:8

King James Version (KJV)
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Galatians 6:7-9

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

James 1:15

15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Romans 6:23

23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

HAVE YOU FOUND ME?

    We've been talking about discernment recently, and deception, and how we are to know who our Messiah is, to be able to recognize Him. The only way this is achieved, is through reading the Word, prayer, and quiet time each day with Him. In the book of Luke, two people, one being Cleopas did not know who was walking with them towards  Emmaus until Yeshua opened their eyes after He broke bread with them in the village upon arriving that evening. They even asked themselves, 'did not our heart burn within us, while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the scriptures?' Then continuing to Jerusalem, Yeshua appears in the midst of the disciples as they were sharing the story of what had happened to them along the road. Yet again, they were terrified and did not recognize Him. Please read with me this passage from Luke 24 and then allow your hearts to be filled with His joy as you read what Yeshua had to say this morning about this story. 

Luke 24

King James Version (KJV)
24 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
And they remembered his words,
And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
10 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

 My beloved people, as you see in this passage, I was able to walk among My own, even break bread with them, yet they did not know Me. I appeared amongst My closest friends after rising, yet they were terrified and thought they were seeing a spirit. How could I have walked among them for three years, taught them, ate with them, laughed with them, healed them and loved them like I did yet they could not recognize Me after I was glorified? I tell you this, it is because they had hardened their hearts to Me and My message. To them, what I had been telling them sounded like a good tale, but when it came time for Me to fulfill the scriptures and die only to rise to new life, My friends could not accept this truth, and therefore hardened their hearts to the reality of what this meant, not only for Me, but the implications of what it was to mean for their lives. Many of you have done this very same thing. You care for the stories of old, you read My word, you follow your traditions and rituals, you do your works, but do you even SEE Me? Do you truly KNOW ME? Can you feel My presence with you? As these precious souls felt when I rose from the grave, looking for Me in the tomb and longing for the days when we were together, walking and talking and fellowshipping with each other, do you too, do the same? Are you not looking for Me in the tomb?  In a church, a sermon or a teacher, a situation, a special quiet place? I tell you this, you need not look for Me anywhere 'out there!' for I am here, within you, surrounding you, filling your every pore, I am within the core of your very being if you have invited Me to be. Remember, the door to your heart is opened from the inside, and once invited, I remain eternally! Grasp this concept ! The Kingdom of Heaven is within you! There is coming a time very soon, when you will hear rumors of some telling you to come here, or go there, for you will find the Messiah. I tell you this. I am NOT outside of you! Those who walk in union with Me and are One with My Father and My Spirit know this. You were created to be ONE in Our image. We are not separate from You, nor can We be found outside of you. The temple of the Living God dwells within you My children, and this truth should bring you so much joy that your heart swells at this reality of Our love for you, each and every one of you. You are Our Beloved, and We yearn for communion with you at all times. I hear your prayers of asking to be like Me, to be godly and live in righteousness, however instead of striving for these things outside of you, know, and let it resonate within your being, that these things are in reality who you are, who you were created to be. The Kingdom resides within! Do not look to Me to mirror Me, or simply reflect Me to others, do not just simply show love, become love, become Me, for it is through you that We operate, you being the empty vessel in which We flow uninhibited. Do you see? Do you really comprehend what this means for you? In this, you will find that you will never be mislead, you will never be confused, frightened, or deceived, for this could never happen when your body and your very being becomes Our temple. Can you imagine the impact on others if you walked and loved as I loved? This message today is very important because as the judgements of your nation, and indeed your world become  increasingly frequent and destructive, My church MUST rise up to fulfill the missions they were created to do at this very point in time. There is no need to fear, for I have told you all you need to know in My Word, and through those prophets that speak on My behalf. I have been and will continue to speak to you and guide you in all ways during these crucial times. I will provide for you, I will protect you, and I will comfort you My Beloved. Allow Me to flow unhindered through you now, and be at peace.  
I love you.
Your Messiah, Your All in All
Yeshua

THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE TEACHER

     In my reading today of 1John, the Lord brought to my attention the importance of knowing that we only have one true teacher, and this teacher is His Holy Spirit. John writes:

1 John 2:18-4:21

King James Version (KJV)

18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

In going through this book, we see in Chap. 2 how John warns of an antichrist and 'many' antichrists in the plural.  But those who have the Holy Spirit living inside of them will know, or have the discernment, to recognize the truth from lies, because their teacher is none other than the Creator Himself. In verse 24, he says that if we will therefore stand in what we know from the beginning, which is that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, we will then 'continue in the Son, and in the Father'. Verse 28 tells us to abide once again in Him, so that we will not be ashamed at His coming. Chap 3 verse 2 states we are the 'sons of God', and we are 'beloved'. Now read in Chap. 4:

1 John 4:1-6

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.


We are warned here of spirits that do not confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, and that these spirits are of the antichrist. However, we are shown that we are of God, those of us who choose to allow the Holy Spirit to indwell us, and we will know the truth from lies and be overcomers. We are told to test the spirits, which simply means to ask the question, does that spirit testify the truth of who Jesus really is? 

 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

     There has never been a more crucial time than now, I believe, to listen to and get to know in a very intimate way, the one and only true teacher. Yeshua promised to send a teacher, a comforter, a guide and an ever present help to us and this is His Holy Spirit. We need to know the Word and immerse ourselves in it daily, in order to discern the spirits of the antichrists, which are everywhere in the world at this point. So many people, websites, and youtube videos are misleading people into serious errors concerning the Word of God. We need to be extremely careful who we turn to for instruction, mentoring, guidance, and information. Our source and instruction manual for LIFE is the WORD OF GOD FIRST, and then the Holy Spirit as our guide. As long as we stay grounded here, we will not be swayed or mislead by anyone claiming anything contrary to the Word of God.  Spend your time with Him, not looking outside of the Word for someone to tell you about Him. Simply ask, and you will receive He tells us, our own, personal relationship in which all we need to know will be provided as God wills.

DREAM OF TSUNAMI / DEATH OF DISCERNMENT

I dreamed of a tsunami last night. I was in a very crowded area, and I seemed to be close to a large city, and at some type of attraction, like a tourist attraction or park.  The ground rumbled and vibrated, and before anyone knew what was happening, I looked out to the sea and saw a huge wall of water coming for the land. A few people saw it pretty quickly and yelled to others to look at what was happening. The interesting thing was that there seemed to be two distinct groups of people. The majority of the group panicked and started running, with no regard for others, running inland to hopefully find safety. A very small few however stood their ground, faced the wave directly, and did not even move. It was actually two or three men, and two women both pushing baby carraiges with babies and a few small children whose hands they were holding that I saw standing their ground. They were staring at the wave approaching with alarm, but also with complete stillness and authority. In my spirit, I knew that they knew they could not outrun the wave, and I also knew that they were strong believers and had no fear of earthly changes because they knew God was in control. In their spirits, they were already prepared for these changes, and so, this tsunami wasn't catching them by suprise although it was awesome to take in. I stood watching the scene, wondering what to do myself, and finding that I immediately started to look around for another place, but also instantly realizing that it was ok, and I didn't need to move anywhere. I was going to be alright no matter what, and then I had an incredible presence of peace that can only be explained by knowing Yeshua. After praying and asking Yeshua for more interpretation of what this was about, I received this.

I am showing you how I am separating the wheat and the chaff at this time. These two groups of people represent what is happening in your world today. My own will discern the times and stay in a state of spiritual preparedness at all times. They continue to heed My voice and My instructions at all times and will not be caught unaware. They have prayed for discernment, and I have heard and answered them. They study My Word and listen to me speaking to them in their quiet time. These are the people you see standing their ground, and although all around them shakes and rattles, they remain unmoved. Even when faced with the impossible situation, they know their God saves. The second group of people, which is still the majority of those you see all around you today, these only look for their own best interest, and panic, running in complete fear when danger looms. They break into chaos immediately, and lose complete control, even to the point of endangering others as they scramble to save themselves. Their focus is on the flesh, and not one thought is concerned for their eternal souls. I am a long-suffering, and very merciful God, as I have warned them and called them out of the world for so long now. I am saddened to see that so many continue to remain comfortably numb. They have saturated themselves with entertainment, busy lives, plans for their lives that have absolutely nothing to do with Me or My will for them. These things of the world have become as drugs to them, and they truly do not know how to function without them. They have created a dependency on things that are as dead as they are spiritually. Things that will leave them feeling as dead as before they consumed them. But I continue to offer life and life everlasting! The choice should be so simple for them, yet they are confounded and dying for lack of knowledge of Me. I have been so patient, but I see too many with their heads in the sand as ostriches, sedating themselves to what is going on around them, insulating themselves to My Voice, and these will perish because of this choice. They have no discernment, and will be the ones in panic as the earth responds to their sinful ways. The shaking I am doing will only increase in intensity and frequency as I have spoken of late. See that events will become much more serious as this shaking is the only way I can get most of My peoples attention. I use these events to speak to them and call them back to Me. It is unfortunate that I must act so harshly at times to awaken those that continue to slumber. Know this as well, the time is upon you. You must choose today. Do not delay any longer. Ensure you are one of My chosen ones in these days. I will care for you and provide for all you need. Turn to me, repent of your worldly lives, come to Me. I am waiting for each and every one of My precious children to draw to Me.

Your Redeemer,
Yeshua


John 10:27

King James Version (KJV)
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:


Matthew 25

25 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.


Exodus 34:6

And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

Hosea 4:6

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.


Jeremiah 5:22

22 Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?


Joshua 23:14

14 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.

I KNOW MY OWN

Tell my people I know the ones that have listened to My instructions and are obeying My pleas to rid themselves of all the distractions of the world and are spending more time drawing close to Me each day. I hear their cries of fear, of disappointment, and of sorrow, and they are never alone. I know My own, I know you who seek My face and earnestly desire relationship with Me. To you I say, you have nothing to fear. Do you feel how it is becoming easier and easier to let go of all the things of the world and rest in My presence? I am separating the wheat from the chaff, the sheep from the goats, and you may find some situations alarming, as you see people slide into indifference and complacency, people that you thought were walking hand in hand with Me. The earth is indeed trembling as I speak,  as I prepare to bring judgement upon judgement to your land. As I have shown you in the train vision, the events will come in rapid succession. I must do this shaking in order to rid the world of the evil that consumes it. To those who will not turn from their ways and repent, I say to you, WALK AWAY ! Pray for them, yes. But distance yourselves from them. The iniquities of these are like a contagious disease that will affect all they come in contact with.   I assure you, the more you seek to know Me, the more I will manifest Myself to you, and the more peaceful you will become. But you must put Me FIRST  in your life. You must allow Me to transform you and rearrange old ways of thinking and doing things. My Kingdom is a Kingdom without limitations, and therefore you need to remove from your understanding, all that causes you to put any limits on what I can do, or how I can move in your lives. Much is already not as it seems. The deception of the enemy runs so very deep. Many, many are falling into his traps every day, and are in danger of losing their souls. You must pray for those who are lukewarm, My people of Laodicea. There is a great falling away at this time of those who continue to feel there is more time to make things right with Me. However, at the same time, there is also an army gathered, YOU, who have heard My call and are eagerly and anxiously awaiting to serve in your new capacity. Such wonders will you yourselves experience, My faithful ones in these coming days. It is to you I speak today, of soon coming events where you will shine and rise in My Glory even as the days becoming increasingly dark and uncertain. So many will need to be led to Me, and will need direction and compassion. It is at this time that I will pour out My Spirit through you to them, and they will finally know the Truth and be free. Do not underestimate the power of your prayers for the lost. Intercede for them at all times. You are My Beloved, and I am always awaiting our fellowship together. Be strong and be more than conquerors in Me. I love each of you so.

Yeshua

John 10:14

King James Version (KJV)
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.


Luke 3:17

17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.


Revelation 3:13-22

13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.


Proverbs 1:10-19

10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

9TH OF AV 2012

Today is a very important date in Jewish history, and many Jewish people consider this date to be a time of mourning for their people because of the tragic events that have happened on this date throughout the years.  Please take a few minutes to read these events and familiarize yourself with them today as the Sabbath begins at sundown.  I am asking that all of us would be in prayer for our Jewish brothers and sisters as well as the situation in the Middle East which continues to escalate each day, even each hour. We need to stand behind Israel and defend her as this is what our Father has commanded.
