Oh My people, time and time again I have called out to you to prepare
for the difficult times up ahead. Yet so few of My own are giving heed
to the warnings. So many are willingly ignorant of the trouble stirring
and the storm clouds gathering on the horizon. Wanting so much for life
to go on as it has, many avert their eyes from that which is so readily
seen as signs of the times, choosing to ignore the blatant evidence of
the total erosion of morals in this country, and act as though nothing
is amiss. Do you not know that ignoring it, and hoping that it will
just go away, will not in fact cause it to do so, no matter how
desperately you long for it to? You would do well rather to face the
truth now, while you still have opportunity to prepare, than to continue
to pretend that all is well, and be found wanting just up ahead.

I will, in My love and faithfulness, continue to call out, hoping to
awaken you to the reality of what is happening, so that you may begin to
ready yourselves. So few are even reading, much less heeding, My word
as they ought to. So few are even truly listening to My voice. Are
you? Are you one who truly seeks My will, laying aside your own agenda
and plans? Are you truly listening to the Spirit's call, or are you so
distracted and preoccupied with life and what that means in your own
individual life, that you are oblivious to the world falling apart all
around you? And what of those you love? Your families, your friends
and coworkers? Being willingly oblivious to the happenings in the world
around you, the drawing near of the end of the age, and the pending
judgment of this country, will affect not just yourself alone, but those
of your own household, those with whom you work, those among whom you
live.

It is the responsibility of My appointed watchmen to herald the
coming of the day of the Lord, and the day of judgment and destruction,
but having done so, the responsibility then lies upon those who have
heard to alter their lives and actions accordingly, for with knowledge
comes responsibility. None but you can decide how to act or react when
once the warning has been given.

Hear Me now My children, draw closer to Me than you ever dreamed of,
and then closer still! How I long to hide you beneath the shadow of My
wings, lest darkness, destruction and fear overtake you. If you would
but call out to Me, I would run to your side, yet so few even feel the
necessity to call. How I long for you to realize how desperately you
need Me, every moment of every day. I desire you to get to the place
where you long for Me more than you do your next breath! In Me and Me
alone is Life, eternal Life. Life which no one takes away or destroys.
How many of you truly know what it is to ABIDE IN ME? Abide in Me My
people. No longer vacillate between the world and your God! Come no
more to Me sporadically, but remain constant in your devotion and
ardor. Hold Me close and never let Me go. Grow to know Me as one knows
his dearest friend. Fan into flame the dying embers of your devotion,
and be so filled with passion for Me that no storm, however sever it may
be, can put out the fire of your love.
