“ Beloveds, I want you to be loyal followers of ME, that you walk in MY ways, MY character,
MY strength.  I want you to have the discernment to know that you don’t follow after faulty fruit.  That is, you don’t bow down to the ways of man over MY ways.  You don’t follow after adulterers, idolaters, perversion, liars, or men who demonstrate the other kingdom in their lives consistently.  “How can we have right discernment ?” you may ask.  I tell you to study MY WORD.  The Word sanctifies you with it’s truth.  I AM TRUTH.  MY ways are higher than your ways.    Do not follow after men who want you to be their followers, more than being MY follower !

Can you not see there is another agenda on the hearts who want you to serve them, but who do nothing to serve YOU ?  My sheep hear MY voice, and they follow ME.  MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, and they FOLLOW ME !  I AM RIGHTEOUSNESS.  I AM TRUTH.  If you love the Truth, then you follow after the truth !  You don’t pretend, nor live a lie.  If you want to change, you will come into MY PRESENCE, and allow me to change you, to do spiritual surgery to change your life.  But will you come ?  Many have come and laid down at My feet. They have sought and sought after ME, in times of hardship and rending of their hearts, they come to ME.  I will honor those who honor ME.  If you give all the honor to MEN, then when the floods come, seek them.  Seek your idols, but don’t seek after ME pretending you have always sought ME.  Humble yourselves and you will be saved.  HONOR ME, and call out to ME, and you will be saved.

GRACE, GRACE, GRACE.  Abundant grace will be given to all who are willing to humble themselves and seek ME.  My grace is sufficient to keep you through any crisis. There is no crisis on earth where My grace is not abundantly poured out for all who will call upon ME.  But if your following is after men, and you know not the sound of MY voice, because you have sought to hold on to THINGS of this earth, even in the midst of crisis, if you will call on ME, I will answer.  But if you do not wish to humble yourself, and if you seek YOUR OWN WAY, then let your idols save you.

I AM HOLY, and I am not stingy in MY love and mercy. I am abundant in GRACE towards all who will humble themselves.  Even Hagar in the desert, found that I AM a GOD of mercy and grace.  I knew her heart was greatly wounded, and I saw her struggle.  And I SEE your struggles.  I am NOT ALOOF to your needs.  How much are you willing to lay down to see the full truth ?  Will you give up your opinions for the truth ?  Will you give up your mindsets of the world to hear the truth ?  Will you give up your mindsets taught by men to hear the truth ?  Or will you hold on to the ways things USED TO BE DONE instead of the NEW THING I AM BRINGING FORTH ?

The old ways will not be sufficient to bring about what I am doing NOW.  You must lay down Your OWN IDEA of how I would do things, and take up MY PLAN for the NOW, and do what I TELL YOU TO DO.  MY GRACE is SUFFICIENT for you NOW, if you will receive it ! Do you yet have GRACE for witches and warlocks, for prostitutes and the unloveable ?  Believe me I have been testing your hearts.  I know who is ready and who is not.  I am testing every hole in your armor, because I want you to be STRONG SOLDIERS of MY LOVE AND MERCY AND GRACE. 

I do NOT want you to be subdued by slippery grace, or enabling the wicked.  I am teaching you through all the things you are going through to be who I WANT you to be…to be like ME.  I want you to STAND STRONG on the WORD, and to be like your loving Father in heaven, who is good to the ignorant, yet just to all who hate Him. It breaks My heart when I see one of My children going their OWN way instead of the way I have chosen for them.  I am not weary of you when you make mistakes. I do not grow tired of you when you fail.  I only want to bring you back into MY HEART, so that you understand the TRUTH, and so that you will walk in it !

You are My beloveds, and I AM yours ! Trust ME when I say that MY LOVE never dies.  MY LOVE NEVER WANES.  My LOVE never vanishes away like that of man.  I AM STEADFAST and TRUE.  I will see you through everything, no matter how hard or difficult, I will be at your side in all that happens.  Don’t be afraid.  Don’t be afraid.
No matter what the plans of the enemy are, MY PLANS supercede his plans.
I AM GREATER.  Who will you believe ?  Cast off all UNBELIEF. LAY IT AT THE CROSS.
Do NOT hold onto it, for it kills the warrior in your soul.
I AM A MIGHTY GOD, and I AM A WARRIOR KING, and I LIVE IN YOU.  You will laugh at famine, for it will not harm you.  You will laugh at death for it will not come near you till I SAY. I ALONE HOLD THE KEYS TO DEATH AND HELL.

Rev 21:6-8 AMP
6 And He [further] said to me, It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I [Myself] will give water without price from the fountain (springs) of the water of Life. [Isa 55:1.]    7 He who is victorious shall inherit all these things, and I will be God to him and he shall be My son.  8 But as for the cowards and the ignoble and the contemptible and the cravenly lacking in courage and the cowardly submissive, and as for the unbelieving and faithless, and as for the depraved and defiled with abominations, and as for murderers and the lewd and adulterous and the practicers of magic arts and the idolaters (those who give supreme devotion to anyone or anything other than God) and all liars (those who knowingly convey untruth by word or deed) — [all of these shall have] their part in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone. This is the second death. [Isa 30:33.]
