My children, walking in deception is a horrible thing. Over and over I have opened your eyes to see the truth but there are some things you refuse to see. As a result you have opened a door to walk in deception. This in turn opens a door to denial and it spirals down to a path that you really don’t want to take. As this point I have no choice because you have tied My hands with your own free will.
You ask Me to show you things and reveal issues that you have and what you have to do to correct them. Then after I show you, you pick and choose which ones you want to believe that I told you to work on and ignore the others as if they do not exist. You do this until you convince yourself that you are ok and nothing is wrong. This has caused hard places in your heart which make it difficult to press into the fullness I am calling you to.
I have been pulling and tugging at your heart strings. I have been calling, but very few are actually humbling themselves and being obedient. You have been disregarding Me in the same way you do the telephone when you want to avoid the person calling. You do not want to talk to them because you assume you know what they want and do not want deal with it or do what might be asked of you. You deny how important that call might be and convince yourself it is ok to ignore it. I call and call. You answer the calls you want to. The ones you consider less pleasurable you pretend you did not hear or you put off answering until I stop pulling at you. Then you convince yourself that it wasn’t important.
This is a great deception that has fallen on My children and I am asking you to wake up. Realize what the enemy is doing. Become aware of what you have allowed your flesh to convince you is ok when in reality it is not. I want you to receive the fullness that I have for you. I want you to walk with your eyes open and be able to accept all that I say and not just what you want to hear.
If I tell you something is going to happen and to be prepared, then it will happen. In order to be ready you have to listen and obey. Denying what I say does not change the fact that it will come to pass. It just means you will not be where you should be when it does.
You make Satan’s job easier because you walk in this denial and self-deception. Grasp what I have been saying to you and get to the place I want you to be. Recognize where your responsibility lies. You cannot ignore any longer the things that I have given you to do, no matter how small. Each thing is important and every piece needs to be in place.
Allow the self-made scales to fall from your eyes. Let Me close all the doors you have opened in your life so that we can do damage control and remedy what you have allowed to happen. Let Me give you this chance to get it completely right. Let Me soften your heart so you can handle what needs to be done no matter how painful it might seem at first. Some jobs are not pleasurable but each one is necessary. No one is above doing what I have asked. Come and cooperate with Me today.
Let Me show you the errors one more time and get you back on the path of My perfect will. The time to walk in your ways and understanding is over. You must walk in My ways and My understanding no matter what your flesh wants to do or believe.
Crucify your flesh and be done with your evil ways. Let Me show you the unforgiveness and anger that has been hidden and the pride that has crept in by not accepting the assignments and tasks that I have given to you. Let us get back on track little ones and be prepared for what is coming. You must do this to walk in My fullness.
Do not turn a deaf ear to Me today. Let Me remove the stubbornness that continues to keep you deceived and in denial. Time is too short to keep living this way. You must grow up and see that not everything is pleasurable but the final outcome is worth all the discomfort.
I really do love you. Even though you have not been fully obedient and have ignored what I have said, I am giving you yet another chance to get it right. I do not want to pass you by or leave you standing on the side lines.
“If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8, NIV)
“An oracle is within my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes. For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much to detect or hate his sin. The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and to do good. Even on his bed he plots evil; he commits himself to a sinful course and does not reject what is wrong.” (Psalms 36:1-4)
“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? “I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve.” (Jeremiah 17:9-10)
“Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
“You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.” (Revelations 3:17)
“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it–he will be blessed in what he does. If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.” (James 1:22-26)
“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator–who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.” (Romans 1:18-32)
“What goes into a man’s mouth does not make him ‘unclean,’ but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him ‘unclean.” (Matthew 15:11)
