>....brought an INSTANT MESSAGE to me. From God? I do not know. But I'm going to pass it on just in case.

You would know if you read your Bible.  If Jesus Christ showed up in America today, Christians would crucify him afresh.  My comments in [brackets]

Joh 10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.  [Those are NOT sheep.  He said so]
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: [They hear, obey and are given understanding by the Lord]
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

This is basic:

2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

If you don't depart from iniquity, you aren't His.

Am 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing  [Shema: understanding] the words of the LORD:

The famine is worldwide.  Plenty of religious voices talking, but few hearing the L~rd.  Shema is the Hebrew for "hearing" in Amos 8:11.  Unfortunately, the English word for "hear" means "to perceive sound."  Big difference!

Hearing = shema in Hebrew: hear/obey/understand.

When people skip "obey" either intentionally or because they are deceived, they are unfaithful and are not given understanding.  That is why the wicked do not understand.  Many doctrines and traditions of men have reinforced the error.

Da 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

Faithful Jews hear God which means "to hear/obey/understand."  Shema!
Apostate Christians interpret the same word hear to mean "to receive sound."

Therein lies the problem.  Faith without action is dead.   Jas 2:26.
Jesus said those who say and do not are hypocrites.   Mt. 23.

2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

2sheep......my statement to you stands.

Proverbs 16-18
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Your comment that "You would know if you read your Bible" is an assumption gargantuan in its' fallacy.
