There will be a great up shaking For the Lord is a consuming fire Look, the Lord comes Weep you people Cry out Quickly Before your time has run out

The Heavens are His Mighty Throne And the earth is His footstool He will slam the Nations with His feet ( I saw wrath) For the whole world has started to turn from Him And to the Churches: How are you reaching the Lost? Are you bringing them in? You come to my house and raise your hands, but you must gather as many as you can.

And the Spirit says: Listen And I will destroy those who used to worship Me but now no longer do. They no longer ask for the Lord’s guidance or Seek my blessing.

Stand in silence in the presence of the Sovereign Lord, For the awesome day of the Lord’s judgement is near.

Why have you no respect for me? Why don’t you tremble in my presence? I, the Lord, define the ocean’as sandy shoreline As an everlasting boundary that the waters cannot cross. The waves may toss and roar, But they can never pass the boundaries I set. But my people have stubborn and rebellious hearts. They have turned away and abandoned me. They do not say from the heart, “Let us live in awe of the Lord our God, For He gives us rain each spring and fall, Assuring us of a harvest when the times is right. Your wickedness has deprived you of these wonderful blessings, Your sin has robbed you of all these good things.

 Listen and pay attention! Do not be arrogant for the Lord has spoken Give glory to the Lord your God Before it is too late. Acknowledge Him before He brings darkness upon you Causing you to stumble and fall on the darkening mountains.

And if you still refuse to listen I will weep alone because of your pride. STOP AT THE CROSSROADS AND LOOK AROUND ASK FOR THE OLD GODLY WAY AND WALK IN IT. TRAVEL IT’S PATH AND YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. But you reply, “No, that’s not the path we want!” I posted watchmen over you who said “Listen for the sound of the alarm” But your replied, “No! We won’t pay attention!”  “Return home, you wayward children”, Says the Lord  The righteous behavior of righteous people will not save them if they turn to sin, nor will the wicked behavior of wicked people destroy them if they repent and turn from their sins. ¹³ When I tell righteous people that they will live, but then they sin, expecting their past righteousness to save them, then none of their righteous acts will be remembered. I will destroy them for their sins. ¹⁴ And suppose I tell some wicked people that they will surely die, but then they turn from their sins and do what is just and right. ¹⁵ For instance, they might give back a debtor’s security, return what they have stolen, and obey my life-giving laws, no longer doing what is evil. If they do this, then they will surely live and not die.

The Lord says, “ I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer’ I will be with them in trouble I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life And give them my salvation. Zephaniah 1:6, Jer 13:15-17,6:16-20, 3:14, Ez 33:12-16, Ps 91:14

 

The earth and all that are in it are mine!” Saith the Lord Their ways are perverted and they refuse to listen. I am the Holy and Powerful God There is none like me None before me None after me For I am For my people are rebellious and refuse to listen

And I replied: “Lord, won’t you stir their hearts to hear and obey? Won’t you soften their hearts, will you open their eyes, will you let them see?”

And I heard: They see, but do not. They hear, but won’t listen. I call, but they turn.( 7-23-11)
