The Lord was speaking to me about me, then began to remind me of an old song.

Bad Moon Rising
Creedance Clearwater Revival

I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin’.
I see bad times today.

Chorus:
Don’t go around tonight,
Well, it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

Chorus
All right!

Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we’re in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.

Chorus
Chorus

Then spoke:

“There’s a new moon rising.  A lesser “deity” that seeks to wrap it’s arms around all my sons and daughters, to steal their hearts away.  My people don’t know how much I love them and they have been allured by ancient philosophies and religions, and a spirit of whoredoms fills the land with it’s vomit.   The spirit of antichrist is alive and well in the earth and in My church.  But I AM THE GOD OF ALL GODS.  MY NAME IS ABOVE EVERY OTHER NAME .  THERE IS NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME.

I will not be mocked in My own house anymore.  THERE WILL BE a consequence as I pour out My glory for those who are tares and pretenders to the throne of grace.  I AM KIND AND I AM GENEROUS, AND I AM LOVE.  But I DO NOT TAKE KINDLY TO BLASPHEMING MY NAME, by using it to fill stomachs with more greed and idolatry to the things of this world.  I want My bride to be single eyed !  You are My fair dove and doves only have single vision.  I want you betrothed to ONE HUSBANDMAN.

And I AM a JEALOUS HUSBAND who will not share you with any other.  This is an adulterous and perverse generation, but MY GLORY WILL FILL THE EARTH as the waters cover the sea, and I will restore men’s hearts in miraculous ways as I take charge of MY CHURCH again.  You see I thought it was MY CHURCH.  It is not yours.  I AM to be preeminent.  You are only stewards of MY wisdom, love and grace.  Men are NOT to be drawn to YOU !  They are to be drawn to ME.  I WILL ANNHILATE ALL THE INSECURITIES IN YOUR HEARTS IF YOU WILL ALLOW ME.  And for the ignorant I will do even more for they know not what they do.  But for those willingly and knowingly blinded without any humility and focused only on building their own kingdom, they will be humbled.  Remember Nebuchadnezzar ?

I am able to humble and abase all who are puffed up and proud.  I know how to humble the greatest and least of men.  I alone know what is in the heart of a man, so I warn you not to take JOY in My judgments.  Do not boast and be arrogant, for with the measure you judge, you will be judged !  WORSHIP ME but do not rejoice in the pain or delusion of others.

Pray that the blindness of your brothers and sisters be removed !  Pray for the scales to fall off.  Just as Paul felt scales falling from his eyes when he was healed, many have been blinded by their own pride.  For many, it is out of defensive pride that comes with great wounding.  The whole body stinks, from the head to the foot.
Surely without My help, how will the people mend their ways ?  It is ONLY by MY GRACE that you can do anything. So many think that it is their own works, their own will power that keep them.  But if you continue in arrogance and pride, you become blind to your own condition and cannot even see straight.  Even as Paul thought that murdering and violence was justified in his eyes for My sake. 
Many in this hour will turn you over to the torturers because of religious spirits running freely through My vineyards.  Did I not tell you that if they hated ME, they will also hate you ?

I want your heart to be so filled with MY LOVE that you can look your enemy in the eye and still be able to LOVE THEM AS I DO.  My KINGDOM is NOT OF THIS WORLD and it’s ideas.  LOVE IS THE GREATEST WEAPON OF ALL.  I HAVE SUBDUED KINGDOMS WITH IT.  UNLESS YOU LEARN TO WALK IN LOVE, AND NOT JUDGING, BUT JUST LOVING PEOPLE TILL THEY ARE CONVINCED OF YOUR SINCERITY AND MINE, WILL YOU BE READY FOR WHAT IS COMING.

So many still have festering wounds and deep places in their hearts unhealed and they think they are fine.  PRAY that your blindness, deafness & delusion will be removed.  ASK for all deception to be removed.  EVERY STRONGHOLD and LIE of the enemy must be torn down.  MY KINGDOM IS BUILT ON TRUTH, MERCY and JUSTICE with the POWER of MY LOVE & COMPASSION.

Matt 23:23 NKJV   "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith .

Despite what some think, MY COMPASSION, MY MERCY is the foundation for all I do. I will listen to the one whose heart is like My own.  If you want miracles, then you MUST know MY MERCY, LOVE  & COMPASSION for mankind. COLD LOVE is not love at all.  Cold love does NOT care about anything but the LAW.  I FULFILLED THE LAW, that you might live.  Would YOU NOT WANT THAT SAME THING FOR EVERY PERSON YOU KNOW ?  Only a selfish heart would want someone to get what they deserve.  I DIDN’T GIVE YOU WHAT YOU DESERVE !  Why then do you want others to get what they deserve ? Is it not that you grown impatient and weary with others ?
I AM THE ETERNAL FATHER.  My mercy endures FOREVER.

I know beloveds that it is difficult seeing the paganism around you growing, and wickedness filling the earth.  But the answer is to move in the OPPOSITE spirit, not the same one those who don’t know Me do !  I said to LOVE YOUR ENEMIES.
I will keep saying it till you GET it !  And I will keep working on your heart to humble you until you GET IT !
LOVE YOUR ENEMIES !
LOVE YOUR ENEMIES !
LOVE YOUR ENEMIES !

Do GOOD to those who HATE you. Pray for those who spitefully USE you ! Some of you can’t even do that for your own household yet.  I KNOW how hard it is when you have been rejected. For those who have been through SO much, I am all the MORE patient.  So I am asking YOU, to get serious about the healing you think you don’t need.  The solution is MY PRESENCE.  For in MY presence there is FULLNESS of JOY.  IN MY PRESENCE ALL THAT I AM IS AVAILABLE TO YOU.  But you run, and you busy yourself, feeling guilty about not DOING rather than LEARNING what is more important.  BE MARY not MARTHA !

KNOW that I LOVE YOU IMMENSELY MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS !  THERE IS NOTHING I WON’T DO FOR THE ONE WHO GIVES THEMSELVES WHOLLY TO ME.”

Luke 6:27-29 NKJV   Love Your Enemies (Matt 5:38-48)
"But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,  28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.

Luke 6:32-33 NKJV "But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

John 13:34-35 NKJV A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.  35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." 

Luke 16:13 NKJV "No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." 


Jer 4:10 Then I said, "Ah, Sovereign LORD, how completely you have deceived this people and Jerusalem by saying, 'You will have peace,' when the sword is at our throats."

Jer 5:6 NIV Therefore a lion from the forest will attack them, a wolf from the desert will ravage them, a leopard will lie in wait near their towns to tear to pieces any who venture out, for their rebellion is great and their backslidings many.

Jer 5:26-29 NIV "Among my people are wicked men who lie in wait like men who snare birds and like those who set traps to catch men. 27 Like cages full of birds,
their houses are full of deceit; they have become rich and powerful 28 and have grown fat and sleek. Their evil deeds have no limit; they do not plead the case of the fatherless to win it, they do not defend the rights of the poor. 29 Should I not punish them for this?" declares the LORD. "Should I not avenge myself on such a nation as this?

Jer 6:13-15 NIV "From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. 14 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. 'Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace. 15 Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen;  they will be brought down when I punish them," says the LORD.
