Incorrigible - adjective
1.(of a person or their tendencies) not able to be corrected, improved, or reformed. "she's an incorrigible flirt"

"The incorrigible ones are not teachable, not correctable, not willing to repent - unwilling to change, think they are always right. They think they will not be punished for disobedience & see Me as powerless & inept.

 Can you imagine that the God Who created the heavens & the earth is accused of being powerless & inept, unable to do anything? 

Sadly that attitude is in many of those who are My own. There are people & prophets who think because they got a vision or a dream, that I cannot change the outcome of that dream or vision.  

The fact is that I give visions & dreams for many reasons, but primarily, warning dreams are for PRAYER.  

Some realize this, & have prayed & prayed in repentance for their nations just as Daniel & others did.  Some have spent years praying for serious strongholds in this nation to come down. 

I am often testing the heart to see how you will react sometimes to the vision. Did that occur to you?  Have you thought about that? For I am NOT a God who takes delight in the derision of His enemies.

 Just because I give a vision of what the enemy WANTS to do, doesn't mean, your prayers cannot turn it around.  Now turning around scripture, that's a different matter. 

I saw ahead all that would happen, & it is written. But there is much I have not delineated on purpose. So how do you, oh man, think like Jonah, for example, that I cannot change the hearts of men, or nations.

My word says otherwise...   
Isa 66:7-9 NKJV "Before she was in labor, she gave birth; Before her pain came, she delivered a male child. 8 Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to her children. 9 Shall I bring to the [moment of] birth & not cause to bring forth? says the Lord. Shall I Who causes to bring forth shut the womb? says your God..

I hardened Pharoah's heart & I can soften men's hearts. For I AM GOD, & not man.  Have you not known? Have you not heard?

Isa 40:21-25 NKJV  Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? 22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, & its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, & spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. 
23 He brings the princes to nothing; He makes the judges of the earth useless. 
24 Scarcely shall they be planted, Scarcely shall they be sown, Scarcely shall their stock take root in the earth, When He will also blow on them, & they will wither, & the whirlwind will take them away like stubble. 25 "To whom then will you liken Me, Or to whom shall I be equal?" says the Holy One.

Psalm 75:7 NKJV
But God is the judge: he puts down one, and sets up another.

"I AM coming soon, but your soon is not My soon. There is a timing & a rhythm in My orchestration of things. Surely I have saved some of My own surprises for this hour!  

Do you know everything oh man? Do you know that sometimes I give you warnings that are so you will be spurned to pray like Abraham prayed when he found out that I would destroy Sodom & Gomorrah!  Have you thought of that? 

When you hear disturbing revelation from me, do you take pride in what you hear, or gloat in the destruction of the wicked, or do you wrestle with ME for the souls of men?... Knowing that I am NOT willing that any should perish.  

Understand that I WILL deal with the incorrigible Myself. But in the mean time, there is a HARVEST I have called for, & in order for that harvest to proceed & thrive, there are some things I will do to surprise even you!!

 When I come down, I will deal with the incorrigible ones. In that day I said, I would destroy the wicked from the face of the earth. Some get a little ahead of My plans. 

Do not think that I am rejoicing in the judgments that are already in the earth.  It gives me no pleasure to have to bring judgment. 

I have sorrow in My heart as there are SO MANY who still need to know Me & the plan I have for them. Think about your friends with children who have not heard or bowed to the truth. 

I often show up unexpected!  I love surprises, don't you? And nothing that men have done can compare with the plans I have. Do not give up on prayer. Seeing that end times are here, should make you MORE prayerful, not less.  

But many are still caught up in the whirlwind of the world's activity, & so unaware of what I want to do in this hour. For the battle is for SOULS!  

I LOVE MANKIND. I CREATED MANKIND. Do not give in to disdaining the lost. Imagine in your heart that that person is your child, your son or daughter. How then would you pray?

Beloveds, understand I died for ALL MEN, WOMEN, CHILDREN of the earth - Every nation, tribe & tongue.

I said When I return, will I find faith on earth? Faith undergirds prayer. If you are unbelieving & hopeless, you do not pray. Just as the heathen, for they have no hope in Me without knowing Me.  

I AM about to DEMONSTRATE My love though greater signs & wonders in My beloved ones who do trust in ME.  So do not give up on faith. 

Ask for the gift of faith if you are lacking!  Place all your hope in me. Man cannot do anything to change things without Me.  Also believe, that I can change ANYONE." 

Luke 7:28-30 AMP  I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; but he that is inferior [to the other citizens] in the kingdom of God is greater [in incomparable privilege] than he. 
29 And all the people who heard Him, even the tax collectors, acknowledged the justice of God [in calling them to repentance & in pronouncing future wrath on the impenitent], being baptized with the baptism of John. 
30 But the Pharisees & the lawyers [of the Mosaic Law] annulled & rejected & brought to nothing God's purpose concerning themselves, by [refusing &] not being baptized by him [John]. 

1 Thess 1:9-10 AMP  For they themselves volunteer testimony concerning us, telling what an entrance we had among you, and how you turned to God from [your] idols to serve a God Who is alive & true & genuine, 10 And [how you] look forward to & await the coming of His Son from heaven, Whom He raised from the dead — Jesus, Who personally rescues & delivers us out of & from the wrath [bringing punishment] which is coming [upon the impenitent] & draws us to Himself [investing us with all the privileges & rewards of the new life in Christ, the Messiah].

Isa 13:11-12 NKJV  "I will punish the world for its evil, & the wicked for their iniquity; I will halt the arrogance of the proud, & will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. 
12 I will make a mortal more rare than fine gold, A man more than the golden wedge of Ophir. 

Jer 6:27-30 AMP   I [says the Lord] have set you [Jeremiah] as an assayer & a prover of ore among My people, that you may know & try their doings & be like a watchtower. 28 They are all the worst [kind] of rebels and utter and total revolters against God, going about publishing slander. They are [not gold & silver ore, but] bronze & iron; they are all corrupters.
29 The bellows blow fiercely, the lead is consumed by the fire; in vain do they continue refining, for the wicked [the dross] are not removed. 30 Men will call them reprobate & rejected silver [only dross, without good metal], because the Lord has rejected them.

  Tim 3:1-6 AMP
1 BUT UNDERSTAND this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress & trouble [hard to deal with & hard to bear].  2 For people will be lovers of self & [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money & aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud & arrogant & contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy & profane.
3 [They will be] without natural [human] affection (callous & inhuman), relentless (admitting of no truce or appeasement); [they will be] slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate & loose in morals & conduct, uncontrolled & fierce, haters of good. 4 [They will be] treacherous [betrayers], rash, [&] inflated with self-conceit. [They will be] lovers of sensual pleasures & vain amusements more than & rather than lovers of God.

5 For [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny & reject & are strangers to the power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession]. Avoid [all] such people [turn away from them]. 6 For among them are those who worm their way into homes & captivate silly & weak-natured & spiritually dwarfed women, loaded down with [the burden of their] sins [& easily] swayed & led away by various evil desires & seductive impulses.

7 [These weak women will listen to anybody who will teach them]; they are forever inquiring & getting information, but are never able to arrive at a recognition & knowledge of the Truth. 8 Now just as fJannes & Jambres were hostile to & resisted Moses, so these men also are hostile to & oppose the Truth. They have depraved & distorted minds, & are reprobate & counterfeit & to be rejected as far as the faith is concerned.  [Ex 7:11.]
