My people, My children; those of you who are called by My name: where
are you, right now, in regards to your faith? Just where do you stand
when it comes to your obedience to Me and to My Word? Are you listening
to My voice, or are you walking in your own wisdom and reasoning? Are
you seeking My will for your life, or are you just going on in your own
merry way, oblivious to My desires for you? What are your goals? Do you
have any; are you following your own cleverly devised plans in pursuit
of your own self appointed objectives? Have you determined in your
hearts to seek My face and My will above your own? Have you entered your
prayer closets daily in order to see just what it is that I have in mind
for your life? My children, you NEED to do this as never before. You
need to diligently seek My counsel and My Spirit for direction and
discernment. The time is short, and there is yet much to be done for the
Kingdom. Are you ready to stand before Me? Just what would you say, were
we to stand face to face? Are you satisfied with your relationship with
Me, or is there room for improvement?

My people, again, you need to seek My wisdom and to be much in prayer.
There is much around you that is confusing and distressing. Much that is
evil and vile. And as righteous Lot was vexed by the actions and ways of
wicked men all around him, so too, are many of My people vexed by the
tide of evil that surrounds them. Many of you have grown cold and
hardened by the daily onslaught of the darkness and the sin that is so
prevelant in your society. You must rouse yourself now, lest you be
lulled to sleep by the enemy of your souls. Allow My Spirit to refresh
and revitalize you. Allow Him to remove the scales from your eyes, and
to unstop your ears, and to break up the hardness that has creeped into
your hearts, and to breath new life into you once again.

There are multitudes all around you who are perishing; going on into
eternity without God and without hope. You have the answer, will you not
share it? I am the answer, will you not share Me? Renew your vows to Me;
renew your commitment to follow My ways! Once again, stand up for the
ways of truth and righteousness, whatever the cost; and walk in
integrity and in the strength of your God!! Uphold the standard of
righteousness and the fear of God, without which noone will see God.
Allow My boldness and My Spirit to fill you and to dispell the darkness
within and without. My Word is eternal and My Words are power and life.
Read My Word- speak My word- and hold to My Words, and let My Words
hold you through the days ahead.
