The Lord spoke: “Throughout the ages there has been a gradual eating away of the truth of My Word. Little by little the locusts have eaten and eaten and eaten. But I AM RESTORING wisdom, truth, understanding and revelation that will bring to security the TRUE FOUNDATION that is in CHRIST JESUS.”
Joel 1:1-5 NKJV The Locust Plague in Judah
The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
2 The Land Laid Waste (Ex 10:1-20) Hear this, you elders, And give ear, all you inhabitants of the land! Has anything like this happened in your days, Or even in the days of your fathers? 3 Tell your children about it, Let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
4 What the chewing locust left, the swarming locust has eaten;
What the swarming locust left, the crawling locust has eaten;
And what the crawling locust left, the consuming locust has eaten.
5 Awake, you drunkards, and weep; And wail, all you drinkers of wine, Because of the new wine, For it has been cut off from your mouth. 6 For a nation has come up against My land, Strong, and without number; His teeth are the teeth of a lion, And he has the fangs of a fierce lion.
“What has happened in Israel is but a foreshadowing of what will happen elsewhere in the world. Have you seen ? Have you understood ? Do you see that what has been experimented with there, what has been unjustly done, will be done again and again.
Increase in WAR is on the horizon and still the people sleep and slumber. Apathy and complacency runs rapidly unchecked. But THAT will soon change. SUDDEN CHANGES are on the horizon and then the masses will awaken. They will no longer mock. They will no longer slumber but they will be in dread and fear.
Awakening IS coming, but with it will arise opposition of the enemy to counter what I am doing, as he is always mimicking anything I do. He will try to discredit the signs and wonders of My beloveds and explain them away. Yet I will demonstrate signs and wonders in the heavens above and My signs will be above his signs, though he draws fire down from heaven, still My power is greater and I will back up My OWN. Come aside and reason with ME, talk to me and listen to ME. For I have much to tell you and much to share. Do not be dismayed that people don’t seem to listen. Do not be dismayed at the opposition for where I pour out great power, there is always opposition. What opposition did the apostles encounter ?
Do you expect anything less ?
Do not be astonished at the world hating you and rejecting you and plotting violence.
I’ve told you in My Word what is to happen.
Can you not see ? Can you not hear ?
My WORD is unchangeable as My heart is !
I love you with an everlasting love and kindness, and that will NEVER, no NEVER change ! I am WITH YOU. I AM the God Who NEVER leaves you nor forsakes you !
You hear the signs and see the persecution that is elsewhere, yet you think it will not touch you America ?
Do you think somehow you are more deserving than Christians in other nations ?”
Rom 8:18-23 AMP
18 [But what of that?] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and for us and conferred on us!
19 For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God's sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship].
20 For the creation (nature) was subjected to frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him Who so subjected it--[yet] with the hope [Eccl 1:2.]
21 That nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance] into the glorious freedom of God's children.
22 We know that the whole creation [of irrational creatures] has been moaning together in the pains of labor until now. [Jer 12:4,11.]
23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves too, who have and enjoy the firstfruits of the [Holy] Spirit [a foretaste of the blissful things to come] groan inwardly as we wait for the redemption of our bodies [from sensuality and the grave, which will reveal] our adoption (our manifestation as God's sons).
Rom 8:28-39 AMP
28 We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.
29 For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren.
30 And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being].
31 What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?] [Ps 118:6.]
32 He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?
33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect [when it is] God Who justifies [that is, Who puts us in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has chosen? Will God, Who acquits us?]
34 Who is there to condemn [us]? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah), Who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, Who is at the right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us?
35 Who shall ever separate us from Christ's love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword?
36 Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter. [Ps 44:22.]
37 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, 39 Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Jer. 31:37 NIV This is what the LORD says:
"Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done," declares the LORD.
“Rioting in France was for a sign. Can you see the evidence of lawlessness arising, especially in the young ? Do you not see the clamor of the nations against all that is HOLY ? Have you not seen ? Have you not heard the ROAR of the nations against YOUR BELOVED ? YET will I make HIM the Desire of all nations !”
Hag 2:6-9 NKJV
6 "For thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,' says the LORD of hosts. 8 'The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,' says the LORD of hosts. 9 'The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,' says the LORD of hosts. 'And in this place I will give peace,' says the LORD of hosts."
When I say GREATER, I mean GREATER. I don’t mean MORE. I mean GREATER !
I WILL HARVEST THE NATIONS. I HAVE SET MY HEART ON SOULS, YET AMIDST THE HARVESTING WILL BE GREAT OPPOSITION FROM THE HATERS OF GOD ! PEOPLE WILL OPPOSE, YET STILL, MY HEART WILL EVEN SAVE SOME OF THEM WHO BLASPHEME MY NAME NOW AND STAND IN ANGER.
For I AM a GOD of MERCY and COMPASSION. I know what made that soul angry !
I KNOW what made that person give up on ME. I KNOW the secrets of men’s hearts and if you will listen carefully and not speak in presumption, but listen for what to say, I will tell you the secrets of their hearts, and they will be unburdened in a moment by the Word of TRUTH. FOR I AM TRUTH. In MY PRESENCE there is available ALL you need !
The prosperity I pour out now is NOT for selfish gain. It is for KINGDOM purposes.
I am doing a great amount of surgery in your lives now to release you from all the hinders. I will remove ALL that opposes MY PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE. REST assured ! I am all KNOWING and all SEEING, and I WILL RESTORE & all that has come against you I will annihilate in the FIRE OF MY LOVE that will come upon you !
HOLD ON BELOVEDS for the ride is getting FASTER !
But know that I AM in the DRIVER’s SEAT !
I will be a wild ride, but I have been thinking about it for centuries, and I will perform My WORD PERFECTLY !
Release ALL your heart to ME. Do not hide anything. Do not excuse anything. Do not justify your sins. For I came to justify you in the site of My FATHER and NOTHING will keep you from your destiny. I will slay the dragons in your life and all that has come against you. DO NOT FRET. CLING TO ME. ABIDE IN ME. HOLD ON TO ME with your WHOLE LIFE. I AM IN CONTROL. And I will release from those who think they have control, even all the things they think belong to them, and I will give them into your hands for KINGDOM purposes. My love never fails ! Divine reversals will INCREASE. RESPOND by worshipping ME, and I will give you the victory !
Ps 18:7-17 NIV
7 The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry. 8 Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it. 9 He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet. 10 He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind. 11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him — the dark rain clouds of the sky. 12 Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning. 13 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. 14 He shot his arrows and scattered [the enemies], great bolts of lightning and routed them. 15 The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of breath from your nostrils.
16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. 17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.
