America Hear My Words

"I have much to say to this nation. Hear My Words.
America, you began well - the men who formed your foundation called on Me to make their way clear - those who believed in Me - interceded with great power in My strength to bring forth this land of promise.
You have done well in much - and well you know those things for you recite them daily to remind Me - it is good.
Body of Christ - you are to be the soul of this nation of promise - but instead you have sold much of yourself to gain the comforts of the flesh forgetting how My Son lived on the earth - owning nothing He wouldn't give. I test you daily - Body of Christ, and you do not even notice. You are too busy striving for a tomorrow that may never come. Your life and who you are is not found in what you will accomplish tomorrow - your life is who you are right now in this moment.
Who are you in the face of the hungry? Where is the fount of your love in the face of divisiveness? When others express My Truth in another way - why do you insist it be your way alone? KNOW THE TRUTH FOR YOURSELF - LOOK INTO MY WORD AND KNOW THE TRUTH FOR YOURSELVES AND THERE WILL BE NO DIVISIVENESS OR RANCOR IN MY BODY ON THE EARTH. Do not argue man's rules and divide the Body of Christ. Have I not said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand?"
Do you dare to call yourself a Christ follower and still hold bitterness in your heart against your brother? Do you dare to call yourself a Christ follower and out of your mouth damn the lost to eternal damnation? How dare you damn what I weep over? Have you known the sinner for generations before he was born? Do you know and have you seen the strategies and tactics of the enemy that has distorted his vision and twisted his soul into painful contortions? So you dare sit in your earthly throne of judgment, little king, and display your pompous benevolence on those you wish and damn the soul I love? I will take you from your throne and crush it into dust. I will show you the torment of those you condemn until you cry out for mercy for your soul - cry out for mercy for your own soul - as you should NOW be crying out for mercy on the souls tortured in bondage.
If America be your throne - My determination will not falter. I will throw out the whole basket of fruit for the rotted has destroyed the good.
Hear Me now and hear Me well Body of Christ.
You have one season to tend your tree. Begin now asking Me what remedy you might use to bring life to what remains. I will look for My Love to spread abroad to the right and to the left. I will look to see if forgiveness is flowing in your midst - I will look into YOUR heart of hearts - INDIVIDUALLY - even as every branch and leaf is inspected for insects and decay.
If I do not see the Body of Christ reflect the Glory of My Son in this nation in one season - I will begin to destruct your false throne and raise My throne in a land you never expected.
Do not say - "What of him - what is he doing?" - for you will raise My anger. Look to your own heart and be fearfully careful to follow the instruction I give you in the days of your life. I look for a humble and willing heart that continues even when it stumbles - that one who is ever walking towards My Son until that life disappears into His Own. I will not handle the hard heart - the stiff neck, for it will destroy itself.
If your heart is good you have much to rejoice in and many blessings of surprise and fulfillment await you. If your heart is bad - rejoice in your darkness quickly for your time is short.
Come - Come - Come - My Heart yearns to give you all things that we might rejoice together - Come into the flow of My Love and be swept up in it's Powerful current - You will be filled with life and deposit life every place you touch with your hands and every step you take with your foot.
This can be a glorious day - it is for you to choose - hold that future before you and walk your life into Mine. Know My Word - Know My Word. Your very life and the lives of your children depend upon My Word. Know My Word FOR YOURSELVES-and do not only listen to man." -------------- Note: This is not a word of ruin and devastation but one of hopeful promise. God is Love - all He is asking is that His Body on earth reflect that Love by loving each other and loving the unloved. He is not asking for perfection - only that when we stumble we do not give up but GET UP and KEEP GOING FORWARD INTO HIM. He asks that our hearts be humble and that we give an accurate accounting of ourselves to be what He asks of us to be - His Hands and Feet on the earth. In Joel 2:12-14 directly after the description of the destroying army sent to envelope God's people due to their sins he says, "Yet even now," declares the Lord, "Return to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, weeping, and mourning; and rend your heart and not your garments." Now return to the Lord Your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger abounding in lovingkindness, and relenting of evil. Who knows whether He will not turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind Him, even a grain offering and a libation for the Lord your God?"
Luke 20:9-16,NAS "And He began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard (a vine and vineyard is a scriptural picture of Christ and believers) and rented it out to vine-growers, and went on a journey for a long time. And at the harvest time he sent a slave (a slave is someone who does not have freedom over his own destiny - he is forced labor to another - much as a sinner who does not know the freedom in Christ is a slave to sin) to the vine-growers that they might give him some of the produce of the vineyard; but the vine growers beat him and sent him away empty-handed." (Much the way false Christians beat the sinners among them with words of judgment and condemnation. Christ on the earth - never condemned a sinner who came - only the hypocritical believers in religion. Have we sent any sinners away empty-handed?) "And he proceeded to send another slave; and they beat him also and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. And he proceeded to send a third; and this one also they wounded and cast out. And the owner of the vineyard said, "What shall I do: I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him. But when the vine-growers saw him, they reasoned with one another, saying, "This is the heir; let us kill him that the inheritance may be ours." And they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him." ("And the King will answer and say to them, "Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these, even the least of them, you did it to me." Matt. 25:40) "What, therefore, will the owner of the vineyard do to them? He will come and destroy these vine-growers and will give the vineyard to others." And when they heard it, they said, "May it never be!" Isn't this what the Lord just said concerning America - that He would tear down our self-righteous throne and set His Throne in another nation we would never expect?
Luke 13:6-9 NAS "And He began telling this parable: "A certain man had a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it, and did not find any. And he said to the vineyard-keeper, "Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree without finding any. Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground? And he answered and said to him, "Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and put in fertilizer; and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but if not, cut it down."
Matthew 7: 1-5 NAS "Do not judge lest you be judged yourselves. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it shall be measured to you. And why do you look at the speck in your own brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, "Let me take the speck out of your eye," and behold, the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to take the speck out of your brother's eye." What would you think if you saw a man walking down the street - poking himself in the eye - beating himself with his fist-slapping himself in the face or cutting his fingers to the bone? I'm sure it wouldn't be "Well that's the life for me!" Yet the body of Christ walks through the earth doing just that - just how attractive is that for unbelievers? Some of us express our praise with instruments - some of us do not - some of us are more comforted by one truth than another - the only and most important line of demarcation is the Blood of Christ. It is the one undeniable, uncompromised truth - when He appears in the clouds we will remember nothing but that.
John 21:15-17 NAS "So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, Son of John, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Tend My lambs." He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me:" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Shepherd My sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Tend My sheep."
According to The Hebrew-Greek Key Study Bible - the word "lambs" in verse 15 has its root in the phrase "to ramble freely". The word "feed" in verse 16 has its root in the phrase "revolve around".
Wasn't the Lord instructing Peter to allow his life to "revolve around" those who tend to ramble and might very well stray and be lost - much as in the parable of the lost sheep? Living in this way puts the life of the Christian at His Master's direction and not his own.
The Lord provided me with a living example of what He wants from us as His people just a few hours before He spoke this word. A couple days before, my husband suffered several strokes and was in the hospital. At the age of 56 after being a homeschool mom with not many "saleable" talents I am faced with the need to go to work. After leaving the hospital on this day I stopped for gas on my way home. Not having the slightest idea of how I will meet the financial needs growing by the minute - my mind was spinning with questions of the Lord, my soul felt numb and my body VERY tired. As I pumped the gas into the car I noticed a man who appeared to be homeless speak to a woman at a nearby pump. I sighed to the Lord, "Please don't let him come to me - I can't deal with this right now." Just as quickly - the man turned and came straight to me. "Ma'am, do you have any spare change? I'd like to buy a hotdog inside." My first thought was to dismiss him gently but the Lord seriously checked my heart. Instead I found myself saying I would buy him supper when I finished pumping my gas. Together we went inside as the Lord instructed me to buy for him exactly what I would want to buy for myself. I told him to choose a sandwich and I handed him a bag of chips. I knew I'd want a cold drink- he chose a Coke. As I went to pay, the Lord reminded me that each night after supper I like a small piece of chocolate. "What would you like for dessert?" I asked, "Cake, or candy?" "Oh ma'am," he exclaimed, "This is a lot." By then we were standing at the candy and he said, "Oh I love candy. This is my all time favorite." Before I could pay, the Lord reminded me of what a cold and blustery day it was and the sun was going down. "Would you like a hot cup of coffee after that?" I found myself asking. "Oh, that's okay ma'am, I've had coffee today." I paid for his meal including a large cup of coffee when he was finished - as the clerk asked if I also wanted a lotto ticket. "Jesus takes good care of me-no thanks." I heard myself say. and He does. The experience was real - but it was one of those times that seemed so automatic and yet not - it was purely a gift from the Holy Spirit who led me through in spite of my own reticence. I am not sharing it now to proclaim my purity - Lord knows that would be a lie - but to encourage myself and you to live your life "revolving around" the lambs that "ramble freely" and could be killed.
I truly believe the Lord has given the Body of Christ in America - one season - one season to "get it right" or we WILL LOSE THIS NATION. I do not know what is meant by "season" - if it be our natural season of a few months or a spiritual season. I DO know this: the picture of a teen being asked to do a chore came to mind. If he goes as soon as he is told and does the work with a willing heart-even if there are mistakes made in ignorance-grace is given with further instruction. However, if he or she sits at the TV. ten minutes longer - and finally, reluctantly goes to his work - judgment will reflect that. Excuses and buck passing are not acceptable. WE ARE TO BE THE LOVE OF CHRIST MADE MANIFEST IN A DARKENED WORLD - we MUST keep encouraging each other to listen to the Holy Spirit and do His Will - not our own will, but His. We NEED to ask the Holy Spirit to overshadow each one of us with the instructions for each day that we might make His Praise Glorious!!! Please - let's love each other and look at those enslaved around us through His Eyes - as we would want Him to look at us.
I think if you believe them to be the actual words of God then you have to give them more authority than you do the epistles of Paul, which purport to be nothing more than the words of Paul given under the inspiritation of the Holy Spirit.
So, what is it? Are these the words of God?
And BTW, what other credentials does this "prophet" have?
my understanding is briar bey is talking about something altogether different
Thank you for the information. How can I know that is sourced and quoted correctly? I'm not being snide. That's what we're up against.
Normally I place great respect and obedience to the bishop no matter what did or did not take place there.
Of late, even that has become somewhat of a difficulty depending on which diocese you find yourself in.
I've become so saturated with this sort of thing that I decided it best not to make any of it, protestant or catholic private revelation, part of my spiritual mindset and journey. I try to ignore most of it frankly.
Private revelation can become addictive.
Matthew, chapter 4
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; and saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him".
I can prove that you will all bow down and worship the antiChrist with one post, but it will necessitate my banning. Shall we do it?
*****
No Edmund...I enjoy your company to much....it gets lonesome sometimes..lol.....besides....we both know they are going to bow down, because they are to blind to know what to Come out of!!
LOL, one lone voice, ok Briar Bey, we live to fight another day
You still haven't answered. By what authority did you construct your personal religion? You spew this hysterical black-helicopter, "Area 51: The Vatican" nonsense, then run away when your lack of theology is questioned.
****
If I was running, it was for Quix sake...not for fear of you or your doctrines of devils.
TIME will tell Rutles....time always tells. Faith sustains me...your doctrines will crumble like straw houses, and burn as stubble when put to the test.
Now, what will happen to the faith of all these well-meaning men and women if, some day now, the "virgin" gives a message that the Pope is the anti-christ?
You see, Satan doesn't mind leading people to God 99.99% of the time if he knows he can drag them all to hell the moment of that last 0.01%.
This is why the Church has stated from the beginning - even regarding Fatima and Lourdes - that it is not a requirement even to believe that they are real - it is not necessary for salvation since they are private revelation.
And yes, it's very VERY difficult - especially in my diocese - to trust the Bishop, but Jesus values obedience over all things. St. Faustina was tested numerous times by Jesus in this manner. He would give her a direct order: "You must come to the chapel and pray tonight". She would go to the directress for permission, who would deny her request. She would obey, go back to her cell, and be visited by Christ and told of His great pleasure in her obedience to her superiors at the convent - even over his direct command. The Holy Spirit guided the Pope to install whatever bishop we have. God wants us to be obedient to them first and foremost - He will deal with their sins apart from our opinions.
There has also been the misconception that the church will never pass judgment on private revelation until and unless the apparitions have stopped. That sounds right on the surface, but is clearly wrong when one realizes the Sr. Lucia (Fatima) was receiving visits from the Virgin Mary until her death - long after Fatima was declared authentic. So, when the "virgin of Medjugorje" engages in pluralism and states "all religions are the same to Jesus", it's pretty clear that there's something amiss. When two successive bishops declare, "nothing to see here", then there's nothing to see there.
Er - my doctrines are still standing after 2000 years. Yours?
You still haven't answered the question. Faith sustains you? What does that mean? A Snickers bar sustains a lot of people, too. What's your faith based on? By what authority do you interpret Scripture? Your own? Most people can't decide between Coke or Pepsi - but they can form their own theology out of thin air?
So what part of quoted scripture did you NOT understand?
"There is nothing new under the sun."
"If it were possible, the very elect of God will be deceived."
"The anti-christ once was, is not, and is again."
Did I also include...?
"There is a way that seems right unto man that leads to destruction."
"The traditions of men make the word of God of NO EFFECT."
Tell me Marlowe...at what point do you think endtime things will be revealed and to whom, is Christ's Blood only for a select group of priests, pastors or popes?
God said, He was no respecter of persons. We are all equal.
WE His people are The Temple...not brick, mortar, stone, wood or denominations.
Dan:12:8 I heard, but did not understand. So I asked, "My Lord, what will the outcome of all this be?"
He replied, "Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed UNTIL the time of the end. Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. NONE of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise WILL UNDERSTAND."
*****
No Edmund...I enjoy your company to much....it gets lonesome sometimes..lol.....besides....we both know they are going to bow down, because they are to blind to know what to Come out of!!
The tone is eerily diabolical. I've done battle with your kind before.
Patently, catastrophically wrong. The Temple is Christ. You're spreading abject error.
Er - my doctrines are still standing after 2000 years. Yours?

Your doctrines weren't in existence till 313 YEARS after the death of Christ. Constantine was killing the true believers till he got the idea to change all the idols names in their pagan Sun God temples, to Mary, Jesus, Peter, Paul and bring the christians into their pagan worship. Just like Israel always did...gotta run after those pagan gods and traditions.
Took the word of God, turned it into Latin and TOLD the people what and how to worship....it put man-kind into one of the Darkest times in our history.
Anyone who DARED to step outside of it was killed. There is YOUR history.....or let me guess....HISTORY books lie.
My authority? My Heavenly Father....don't YOU know Him? I know Him quite well, and He knows me, I ask Him enough questions. I do believe the blood of Christ did give me the right to go straight to my Father.
I believe scripture says.."THE ONLY way to the Father is thru the Son."
Or does your Alexandarite (?) bible also twist that from the KJV, just like where you REMOVED the commandment of not MAKING images of anything in the heavens or in the sea or on the earth.
Seems your church took that one out and split one of the other scriptures into 2 scriptures to make 10, just so you could keep your pagan idols.
I am not fooled, nor am I blind, and I will not trade TRUTH for a lie just because it LOOKS pretty, and religious and pompous and elitist, its a lie.
BriarBey - flex your muscles and tell me about the Inquisition. Who were the targets? Why? Where? Who were the targets of the Crusades? Why did the crusades take place?
What is to become of those who do not join the Catholic Church? Citation, evidence, etc. please.
Patently, catastrophically wrong. The Temple is Christ. You're spreading abject error.
****
No...scripture is not wrong, you are wrong...doctrines of devils that you have been taught.
1 Corinthians 3:16
Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple.
What more authority do I need?
1 Peter 2:4
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said , I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Wrong. Even a half-ass perusing of the writings of Cyprian, Linus, Clement, Polycarp, and Ignatius neuter that assertion. Have you read any of the documents of the early church? Pre-constantine? the Gospels themselves?
Constantine was killing the true believers till he got the idea to change all the idols names in their pagan Sun God temples, to Mary, Jesus, Peter, Paul and bring the christians into their pagan worship
Horse manure. Utter hilarity. Sources?
gotta run after those pagan gods and traditions.
No, actually, pagan traditions were incorporated as a means of providing the lifelong pagans of the Roman empire with a point of reference for Christian theological practice. Instead of celebrating the Winter Solstice, the pagans who had celebrated the coming of Winter throughout their lifetimes were encouraged to worship Christ instead in celebration of His birthday using the traditional feast that they understood. If I wanted to have a conversation with you, I'm going to speak to you in a language you understand, not Swahili.
Took the word of God, turned it into Latin and TOLD the people what and how to worship....it put man-kind into one of the Darkest times in our history.
What was the literacy rate of the Roman Empire? How many printing presses were there? Zero, I believe? Latin was the language of the Empire. Again, I could type this all in WINGDINGS but it won't do you much good.
Anyone who DARED to step outside of it was killed. There is YOUR history.....or let me guess....HISTORY books lie.
Breathtaking. Incoherent fiction. No elaboration, just vile and venom...
My authority? My Heavenly Father....don't YOU know Him? I know Him quite well, and He knows me, I ask Him enough questions. I do believe the blood of Christ did give me the right to go straight to my Father. I believe scripture says.."THE ONLY way to the Father is thru the Son."
Or does your Alexandarite (?) bible also twist that from the KJV, just like where you REMOVED the commandment of not MAKING images of anything in the heavens or in the sea or on the earth.
RSV (Catholic Bible)
[4] "You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; [5] you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me,
When was it removed again? I suppose the Sistine Chapel is a graven image? You don't see God in the masterpieces of Leonardo DaVinci? God is glorified in the image of His holiest servants. They're not worshiped, though you'll stomp your feet and insist that they are - even though you're not Catholic and clearly don't have a scintella of understanding of the Catholic faith.
Better throw out all those framed pictures of dearly departed grandma and grandpa - someone may accuse of worshiping idols.
I am not fooled,
That's debatable.
So you're saying my doctrines have only stood for 1700 years?
Satan can quote scripture, too. He cannot interpret it, however.
