Luke 21:34-35 AMP  But take heed to yourselves and be on your guard, lest your hearts be overburdened and depressed (weighed down) with the giddiness and headache and  nausea of self-indulgence, drunkenness, and worldly worries and cares pertaining to [the business of] this life, and [lest] that day come upon you suddenly like a trap or a noose;  35 For it will come upon all who live upon the face of the entire earth.

“ It is a time of sobriety beloveds, though there will be rejoicing in what I do. There is a soberness in this hour because I am pouring out judgments, and the enemy is trying to disrupt and to gain ground that is not his to take.

The WAR is on beloveds.  And his ways are entrapment. Whatever lie he can entrap you with, he has always used, to keep you from attaining the measure of holiness and righteousness, peace & JOY, LOVE and faith I want for you.  But it is a time of shaking of all things.  And I am pouring out GLORY.

Glory makes manifest the works of darkness in you. But it also purifies your heart motives and worship of ME.  GLORY will exponentially increase and the entrapments of Satan will be destroyed.  The entrapments of the wicked will cause them to be ensnared by their own plans.  BUT YOU I HAVE CALLED YOU to  DECLARE MY GLORY !  I have called you to declare My righteousness and MY KINGDOM on earth as it is in heaven.  HOW WILL THEY KNOW WITHOUT A PREACHER ?

Thus as the chains fall off of you, you will be empowered to DO the work of the KINGDOM.  The glory is not something you play in, or play with. It is for a purpose – MY PURPOSE.  It is for setting the captives free.  It is for worship and praise.  It is for declaring MY KINGDOM in the earth !  IT IS to bring forth MY PLAN in the earth, and to destroy the plans of the enemy!

The enemy is laying his snares, but I have the route to FREEDOM.  The spirit of burning comes.  The angelic hosts are loosed.  Behold, the day comes burning like an oven, and all the proud  & wicked will be stubble !

Mal 4:1-3 NKJV   "For behold, the day is coming, Burning like an oven,And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up," Says the Lord of hosts, "That will leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; And you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves. 3 You shall trample the wicked, For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this,"  Says the Lord of hosts.

ARISE AND SHINE BELOVEDS !  For the glory of the LORD is at hand !

WORSHIP in the beauty of holiness.  Lift your voices in praise.  ARISE and play your tambourines !  Dance on injustice daughters of Zion !  For Your LORD, Your KING is in your midst, and HE is come to set you free !  He is come to set the world free from sin and the entrapments of the enemy !

Sing and make music to the LORD, for HE will bring alignment to all that is not in order !  HE WILL BRING HIS BRIDE into the place of courage, hope and righteousness as HE pours out the Spirit upon all flesh !  YOU will never be the same beloveds !  YOUR heart will rejoice as if with wine !  So shed all discouragement and despair. Throw off all the worries of this world and hold tight to the hem of My garment.  CLING TO ME for I AM ARISING with healing in My wings !

Keep communion with ME. Come away with ME that you might get understanding and wisdom from above !  Cling to ME. Shut out the voices of hopelessness and defeatism for the vultures have gathered to try and steal and ensnare My beloveds.  But I AM with you.  SING and PRAISE your way into the HOLY OF HOLIES.  Enter My courts with praise.  FIGHT WITH THE SWORD OF THE WORD, and the SWORD THAT HIGH PRAISES BRING. PROPHESY to the enemy his demise !  DECLARE the end from the beginning, for he knows his time is short.  DEFY the UNBELIEF rising in the world with PRAISE and WORSHIP.” 

Ps 141:9-10 AMP  Keep me from the trap which they have laid for me, and the snares of evildoers. 10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass over them and escape.

Prov 1:16-19 AMP   For their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood. 17 For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird!  18 But [when these men set a trap for others] they are lying in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives.  19 So are the ways of everyone who is greedy of gain; such [greed for plunder] takes away the lives of its possessors. [Prov 15:27; 1 Tim 6:10.]

Prov 3:26 AMP For the Lord shall be your confidence, firm and strong, and shall keep your foot from being caught [in a trap or some hidden danger].

Isa 8:14-15 AMP And He shall be a sanctuary [a sacred and indestructible asylum to those who reverently fear and trust in Him]; but He shall be a Stone of stumbling and a Rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. [Isa 28:6; Rom 9:33; 1 Peter 2:6-8.] 15 And many among them shall stumble thereon; and they shall fall and be broken, and be snared and taken.

Isa 29:20-21 AMP   For the terrible one [the Assyrian enemy] shall come to nought, and the scoffer shall cease, and all those who watch for iniquity [as an occasion for accusation] shall be cut off-- 21 Those who make a man an offender and bring condemnation upon him with a word, and lay a trap for him who upholds justice at the city gate, and thrust aside the innocent and truly righteous with an empty plea.

Jer 5:26-29 AMP  For among My people are found wicked men; they watch like fowlers who lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men. 27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit and treachery; therefore they have become great and grown rich,  28 They have grown fat and sleek. Yes, they surpass in deeds of wickedness; they do not judge and plead with justice the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper, and they do not defend the rights of the needy. 29 Shall I not punish them for these things? says the Lord. Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?

Jer 50:24-25 AMP   I set a trap for you, and you also were taken, O Babylon, and you did not know it; you were found and also caught because you have struggled and contended against the Lord.  25 The Lord has opened His armory and has brought forth [the nations who unknowingly are] the weapons of His indignation and wrath, for the Lord God of hosts has work to do in the land of the Chaldeans.

Rev 2:14-15 AMP  Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: you have some people there who are clinging to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to set a trap and a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, [to entice them] to eat food that had been sacrificed to idols and to practice lewdness [giving themselves up to sexual vice]. [Num 25:1,2; 31:16.] 15 You also have some who in a similar way are clinging to the teaching of the Nicolaitans [those corrupters of the people] which thing I hate.
