My children, be careful to not allow your hearts to harden to Me. These days are growing cold and dark and there are many traps set to snare My chosen children and the biggest one at this time is deception. I have sent the truth out. I have given you, My children warning after warning about what is to take place. Do not dismiss the words of the Prophets of old. Do not dismiss the true prophets of today. Picking and choosing does not protect you from what is about to happen. It is a deceptive tool of the enemy. Wake up and see what is happening. Do not close your hearts to Me.
Now is the time and hour that you must be fully alert and prepared. You cannot be caught off guard or dismissing what I have said to you. Now is not the time nor has it ever been to sugar coat or to make My Word only to tickle others and your own ears. This does not please Me nor does it change what is about to be or change what I am going to allow to happen in your lives.
Open your eyes My little ones and see the truth. See the reality of what is taking place in your lives and in the lives around you. Now is the time to be open and ready to receive all the wisdom and knowledge that I have to bestow on you. You must be able to handle the good, the bad, and the worst. You must be able to spread the warnings, the hope, and the truth. To be able to do this you must be able to accept it yourself as being the truth, My truth.
I have brought forth many times the things that is about to take place. I have given you these warnings. I have even warned that many of My chosen ones will be deceived. Do not think that you are exempt from this warning. Do not harden your hearts thinking that you will overcome this thing and not be affected. You must keep yourself in line and in tune with Me at all times to prevent yourself from falling in this trap. To do this you must be able to receive all that I have spoken to you and have shown you.
There are things set in stone. They will come to pass. How much I can protect you will depend on you and where you have allowed Me to lead you to. If you will not allow Me to take your hand and guide you into safety of My shelter, of My arms, then you will be affected by what is about to take place. You must get yourself into that place of stability, security, and be the strong towers that I have called you to be. You must not tremble of the idea of the truth. You must be able to handle it and give it to all that you meet. You are to be the shelter in the storms, not the debris in them. If you cannot receive the truth you become a stumbling block to another and to yourself. Open your eyes to My truth.
Look around you and see the world as it is in all its fullness. My little ones this is only the beginning of what is about to take place. You are going to have to toughen up to what is taking place. You are going to have to see that just going to My house is not enough. You are going to have to see that life is not all sunshine and easy street. You are going to have to see that this life has not been about you and your pleasures. You are going to have to see that there are things to be done. You have agreed to do a works for Me. To do this you cannot be closed minded on what you think and feel. You must be completely open to Me and listening to My voice at all times. You cannot be picky and choosy on what you want to see, hear, and know. You must be willing to do all that is necessary and bring forth the work that needs to be done.
You need to wake up and realize I have placed you where you are at this time to get you to that place where you are learning of Me and My ways. I have you where I want you to be so that you are supported in your walk and have the nesting of others to encourage you and to help you stay on the right path. Do not dismiss the places that I have put you. Do not dismiss the things you do not understand but bring them before Me. Sit at My feet and talk with Me. Learn to hear My voice and not the voice that you chose to listen to.
Yes I am at times hard on you, My children. Yes there are times that you must be corrected and disciplined. Yes there are times the tests that you are going through will take you to that limit of making you or breaking you. Yes I am telling you the things that are hard to swallow. Yes I have warned you and shown you what is about to happen. But in all of this, I have promise to be with you.
I have promised to never leave you nor forsake you. All you have to do is reach out and call for Me. I have promised that you will be able to withstand all that comes your ways, but I have also warned you it will not come easily. I have promised to equip you for all that I have asked you to do and to be able to survive all that come your way, but you must be able to use them and know how to use them. I have given you many tools and weapons to fight the many battles you face, but you are going to have to use them and not just have them laying there on the side lines. I have given you relief, release, and comfort when things have gotten too hard. I have given you a place to rest in Me, but you have to come into it. I have given you authority to trample serpents and scorpions. I have already given you the victory in all things. All you have to do is claim it and walk in it. I have given you help with My Holy Spirit, with My angels, with My son who none stops intercedes for you and loves you. I have given you so many things to use. I have not left you standing all alone. All you have to do is use what I have given you.
All you have to do is choose to use all of it. All you have to do is choose to follow and to accept the truth. All you have to do is stay open to Me, focus on Me, and receive what I have given you. All you have to do is continue to move forward in Me and accept the assignments that I have given you knowing that I will be there to see you through them. You need to see the truth that you have a part to play in this too.
Do not harden your hearts to Me, little ones. Do not reject Me in this critical hour. Accept My truth. Accept Me in all My fullness. Do not be caught in the deception pool that the enemy has swirling around you. Open your eyes to see the truth. Open your mouth and speak the truth. Bring the truth to those who are hungry and thirsty. Let them see that time has come that they need Me to survive. Let them see that I am the God who will protect and comfort them in this great dark hole that has taken place. Bring Me to them so that they can see.
Let go of yourself. Let go of your understandings. Let go of your own selfish desires and wants and follow Me. Give Me to the lost and dying. Live the truth of Me. Bring the hope, the peace, and the love that is need. Let them see that the road is hard, but I am sufficient enough to see you through each and every step. Let them see the truth. But for them to see the truth you must believe the truth.
Do not close your hearts and eyes on Me today. Open them wide and receive My truth. Let My truth settle into your soul. Let the reality of My Word become a part of you like it has never done before and be about My business. Do not turn your cheek from Me. Do not ignore the Words of My true prophets. Come to Me today and allow the truth to set you free from the bondage of deception. Let My truth be your freedom today. And let go of the chains that the enemy has used far too long to bring you down and caused you to skew your sight in Me. Let Me heal your eyes today to see the truth. Let Me open your eyes to see and be blinded no more. Today is all about the truth little ones. Do not turn from Me but come running to Me and receive the truth and a new freedom in Me will be yours.
