Be Miserable, Mourn, and Weep

September 22, 2006

Be miserable, mourn, and weep for your sins separate you from Me. Let your joy turn to gloom. Adorn yourselves with sackcloth and ashes to remind you that you are but dust. Humble yourselves before Me. Submit to Me and be not proud.

Come before Me in lowliness of mind and be not high-minded. Do not think of yourselves more highly than you should, but let your estimation of yourselves be accurate.

You cry, “How long?” and “Where is the Lord our God?” and “Does He not see my affliction or hear the screams of my soul?”

I both see and hear. I am near you and watch over you. I know every hair on your head. I know your comings and goings. I know you inside out. I am He who formed you in the womb and who calls you by My Name.

Prepare for slaughter, for I am coming as a refiner’s fire and fuller soap. I search you innermost places, purging, separating, purifying you as gold before Me, refining you as silver.

Do you not know that I am a consuming fire? I chasten those whom I love, and I love you.

Do not fear for when you are tried, you will come forth as precious, ready and prepared to dwell with Me forever.

I am coming and My visitation will surprise and shock many. Some will oppose Me and men’s hearts will fail them for fear, but you—be ready, watch, look for Me and you will find Me. I am coming for a holy Bride. I have bought her with My Blood and I have died that she may be cleared of her debt and forgiven. I clothe her with the garments of purity, royal robes over the simple garment of humility.

And will I find faith when I come? For many will be deceived and turn away, not understanding the scriptures or Me. But you, remain faithful to the end and overcome.

I pour out on My beloved Bride the Spirit of Grace to keep you, the Spirit of Holiness to prepare you, the Spirit of Life that you might live, and the Spirit of Glory and of God that you might enter the oneness I have with the Father, who is holy and blessed forever. Amen.

Now I speak to you of the perverse spirit who rises to pervade the earth. Its stench, its stinking odor creeps into crevices, nooks and crannies of My Church, to draw them into whoredoms and error and turn their hearts to despicable abominations to do things unseemly. Be warned. For I am the fragrance of life to those appointed to life and the fragrance of death to those appointed to death. Recognize My fragrance.

Come running back to Me. Return to Me and I will return to you. I will embrace you and welcome you. I will shower you with the rain of righteousness and you will grow in grace and your roots will go deep in My love, and you will bear fruit that remains and the leaves of your tree will be for the healing of the nations.

But beware. If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? But if you do not do well, sin is at your door and its desire is for you, but you must master it. Genesis 4.7 I tell you the spirit of perversion, the perverse spirit, is loosed to test the hearts of Mine and many will be led astray. Only you stay strong, stay true. Stand in truth.

Humble yourselves in repentance, and you will pass through. I AM with you. There are many devils, but only one Christ. I AM He.
