Love & Honesty
March 3rd, 2007

When will you hate what I hate ?  When will you love whom I love ?
When will you put aside your pride and take on the mantle of humility My prophets.  When will you confront UNRIGHTEOUSNESS ?
Did I excuse the Pharisees ?   Did I pander to others to gain favor ?
Did I take money for a bribe so that I could have a seat in the Synagogue ?  I AM not a man that I should lie, nor a son of man that  I should change My mind. I AM coming to change the face of the church.  But if YOU would humble yourselves, then you would have no need to be humbled.

If you will submit yourselves to one another, in LOVE and HONESTY, then there would be a different church.  But man has built HIS KINGDOM.  And he assaults anyone that would challenge that it is his.  Some men have forgotten that it is I that am supposed to be PREEMINENT.  When will you stop building your own kingdoms, and work to build MINE ?
If you want revival in your churches, then BRING MEN TO ME, and LET ME BE HEAD of the church instead of you.

My heart is broken because of the prophets, and the priests who are compromising righteousness to have a kingdom they call their own.  How can you serve GOD and MAMMON?   What will it profit you if you gain the whole world’s admiration but lose your soul ?   When will you seek MY RIGHTEOUSNESS above what you think is righteous ?  When will you stop compromising ?  When will the sanctuaries of My churches become houses of prayer for all nations ?

When will you reach out beyond yourselves to the communities you live in and gather those who are on the streets, and living next to garbage dumps, and in their cars, and take them into a place that can help, or offer help to those places who do care for them, so they could expand their services ?  Some of you have people in your own congregations that have given to you for years, yet when they were in trouble, you negated their need, and refused to help, and even accused them of not having enough faith. When They had far more faith than you to persevere.

You build great edifices in My name, that I have not called you to do.  You build great ministries, but neglect the greater matters of mercy, faith, and justice.  I tell you that I WILL HAVE A CHURCH WHO DOES THESE THINGS, with or without you. For I will remove the candlesticks from the churches who refuse the poor.  My presence will no longer be heard among the callous and prideful.  Instead I will turn it over to true shepherds who will leave the 99 to care for the one, and who will not neglect My people for building their own name.

I have given years of warnings to come to ME, for I love you more than you can imagine, yet you have run with your own plans many of you, and done what is not MY plan.   Good works will not save you.  It is only in close union with ME, that you have safety. 

So COME NOW beloveds.  COME TO ME, COME AWAY and let us reason together, and allow me to pour out My love and glory as you worship, praise, and pray, and read My word, and rest.  I am WITH you, and I am LONGING for closer relationship with you.  Can’t you hear how my heart is broken within ME, for all that you need is IN ME.  The Son of man had no place to lay his head.  Come for the days of plenty are soon over in days ahead.  There is yet a little time to repent and to be as the early church.  DRAW CLOSE TO ME for I AM at hand. “

Prov 19:21
