And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED?
On every front, from the church, to the nation, things are going exactly according to God’s predictions: arrogance; mockery; lies; cover-ups; calling evil good and good evil; disrespect; rewarding only those who bow to unethical leadership; adultery; misogyny; refusal to apologize; festivals; pageantry; success at the expense of integrity; and, so on. SUCCESS! There is absolutely nothing wrong with success. Success is great! But, defiled, when unfavorable to the Will of God. [Isaiah 56:12] ”Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.” Actually, because God foretold of these things; It can’t go any other way; unless we turn from our wicked ways (howbeit, just because a behavior is foretold; doesn’t mean a behavior is acceptable, particularly when it is not commanded). I have to admit, so much of what is going on in this country, is eerily, parallel to the situations I have endured over the past few years. ENSIGN. BUT GOD, is neither surprised nor confounded by this. And, it shall also come to pass, according to His perfect Will and time, He will recompense. . .
“BECAUSE OF THE GARDENS YOU HAVE CHOSEN”
Dear Heavenly FATHER: You have given us the complete manuscript for every step of this life’s journey: past, present, and future. But, it’s almost as if many in the body of Christ, particularly among Your shepherds, can neither see, nor hear. They seem to have no understanding that everything they are doing: every reaction and response exhibited, is exactly as You foretold it; which is as written, in betrayal, and not at all, edifying to You. Though, it’s all right there in the scriptures; it truly is, as unto many doctrinally learned, a book sealed. It hurts my heart so vey much; not because it opposes me; it hurts because, in fulfilling Your predictions, it opposes You. It hurts. Yet, as much as it hurts me; I know that it hurts You so much more; for Your Word tells us so. I love You so very much; but, because I know that You love us so much more, it pains me (I can’t help it) to know that You are hurting. I beseech You, O Lord, to indwell me, with extra strength, during the coming season, that I may be triumphant in fulfilling that which You have set before me. Purge me, Father God, of anything and everything that may hinder me from completing this mission. Moreover, Lord, I ask that You babble the thoughts of those who judge based on limited information; and, confuse the motives of those who seek to suppress the truth. Let truth prevail; for, “TRUTH” is Thy name. Amen.
Commentary: I beg mercy on those who, shamefully, diminish all that God has done in the midst of this assignment, as simply a ploy, by me, to steal someone else’s husband. Really?!! (Such, is not of my spirit; “bought with a price;” The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation”). The LORD rebuke thee (the devil is a liar). O, but that ye knew the WHOLE story; what a beautiful scriptural, testimony: For God neither set me as a scapegoat, nor ram in the bush; but, an ensign, that ye might be forewarned. Therefore, I cannot be held responsible for what is to come.
I sit not in the congregation, not of my own will; but, in submission to God’s purpose for this assignment. Regardless, I am no longer surprised by the subsequent behavior; just saddened. [Ezekiel 33:31-33] And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not. And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
Yet, have they not received me.
