AMERICA HEAR MY WORDS [PROPHETIC EXHORTATION, WARNING TO THE BODY OF CHRIST et al]

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.

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.

Have left a number of congregations with control freak pastors well before that point! LOL.

Usually with some invitation to leave because the control freak leaders did not appreciate being told that they were less than perfect. LOL.

I see what you're saying. God's priorities is what you don't know.One person as you already wisely know can't do it alone. For you,I believe that the Lord will have others who will be ordained to be a part of your vision to successfully bring it to completion as Joshua did for Moses.By you simply doing as the Lord has said is the starting point.It is the beginning and the Lord is the author and the finisher of our faith. Every brick that you have laid has been credited to you as fullfilling your vision.Just as Abraham was a Father of many nations through one child and his seed is more than the stars in the sky and grains of sand; rest assure that God is true to His word and it will not return unto Him void.If God gave you this vision it shall be done. You should have no worries that you have not been faithful or that your vision has not begun and that it will not be completed.As one called of God,your faith has made you whole.

In adding to this post....I found it interesting that Rev. 17 was mentioned. God's people are going to HAVE to be able to identity her. Or they can not do or understand what follows in Rev. 18, where He says "Come out of her my people." They can not "Come out" of what they can not see they are in....blinded by the spirit of religion. We were warned to "Beware the leaven of the Pharisee."
IT IS IMPERATIVE to search and understand WHO or WHAT Rev. 17 IS!!

The time is on us to repent and to get the leaven of false religion OUT of us. The Body of Christ is falling for far to many pagan practices and LOVING it. Rev. 18 goes on to tell you what will happen to those who won't or refuse to "Come out".

This is not scripture, therefore, I have trouble acknowledging it. It purports to be from the Lord, but I know that only scripture is infallible/inerrant.

Given that this is fallible and errant, where are the errors?

America NEEDS to repent and fall on its face before God. We will reap HIS vengeance if we don't. We had all better take these prophetic words more seriously than we do. God is finished with our playing church and our shallowness of living. We're poor in the spirit but rich in THINGS, things that don't matter. It will all burn in the end.

Joel Osteen? He's great. I really like his positive messages and his new book. M
*******
Positive messages amid end-times deception and coming judgment....how sweet. I guess that goes along with God saying His true prophets would be well loved, popular and make lots of money. I would say things are right on track.

All these are wonderful Quix. Did you get the one I sent on what's going on in the Ukraine? A short synopsis, the president, who was almost murdered by poison, led his nation in prayer at his inauguration, I believe. He got on his knees and prayed for his country. His prime minister, a woman, is a Christian and spirit-filled! Tell me God's not moving in the Ukraine. I was so encouraged by that.

Thanks for all the prophetic words, dear Quix.

I certainly pray to be part of the remnant! I'm also looking forward to a healing, physical, emotional, and every other kind. I know it's going to happen. I, too, will copy this for a friend who has been looking for a breakthrough for a number of years. Maryxxx

We had a young girl from Mexico who was 'adopted' by spiritual parents after their daughter met her on a missions trip to her city. She had a dream to build a dancing school for the children in her area. She came to the US to fulfill that dream. She came to our church for a few years on and off and danced in our dance team. At the age of 23, she was tragically killed in an automobile accident. You may wonder why she didn't fulfill her dream, but people who knew her picked up the mantle and now they are building the dance school in her memory in that city. When God calls someone to do something, it will get done, either by the person He's called or others who want to help fulfill the vision. She was such a blessing. My husband called her Princess. We were devestated when she died. We went to her funeral, to one of the largest churches in Rochester, and it was packed full. Hundreds of people had been impacted by this little ray of sunshine from Mexico. You don't have to be old to be a blessing. I too believe that children will be the next group of people to be touched and anointed by God. They will usher in the Kingdom of God and that's why satan is so bent on destroying them. Pray for our young people.

Pope Benedict (then Cardinal Ratzinger) identified the harlot (in my humble opinion) just before the conclave, referring to a "dictatorship of relativism".

If there are no absolutes, there can be neither "right" nor "wrong". See the voices that cried out against America - WITHIN AMERICA - after 9/11, justifying the actions of that day... That is the ugly head of relativist ideology.
*******

So relativist ideology has all the blood of the saints on her hands and is the mother of many harlots? Calls herself the Queen of Heaven?
I think you should read Rev. 17 for yourself and ask God who she is.
He seemed to EXPECT you to know or He would not soon after command you to "Come out of her".....he says MY PEOPLE.
