I AM TROUBLED

I AM TROUBLED

For the lack of preparation of My children, for the troubled times at hand. They go about their business as usual while the signs of the times are screaming," get to higher ground". the crack in the dam is about to give way to the pressure, yet most are just sitting watching it happen. 

The intensity of seeking My face has not increased to the level of the situation. What price are you willing to pay today, to save your live tomorrow. Western Christians are so unprepared for hardship that many will think I have forsaken them. Hardship does not destroy, but it builds. Hardship separates the wheat and chaff, it builds character in the faithful, it draws My body together, it brings My people back to Me. Those that have walked the fence finally decide on which side they will walk. 

Learn to live on less and there will be an enough supply for all. This is no longer an option, for tomorrow, less of luxury will be the lot of all. Wolf, wolf, has been cried so many times that no one moves, I've heard it before, this will pass as before, is the mindset of all those who drown. Get ready for you are about to experience one of the suddenly's  that you have read so many times. For the time of preparation is over and My time to establish has come.  

Sit and ponder no longer, do what I am saying to do, or there will be no time to get to higher ground. Strain to hear My voice, and pay the price of total surrender. Enter the narrow gate now, for your very life depends on it!!! 

James 4:13-14 (AMP)
Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a city and spend a year there and carry on our business and make money. [14] Yet you do not know the least thing about what may happen tomorrow. What is the nature of your life? You are really but a wisp of vapor (a puff of smoke, a mist) that is visible for a little while and then disappears into thin air.

Matthew 24:38-39 (AMP)
For just as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the very day when Noah went into the ark, [39] And they did not know or understand until the flood came and swept them all away--so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 (AMP)
BUT AS to the suitable times and the precise seasons and dates, brethren, you have no necessity for anything being written to you. [2] For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the return of the Lord will come as unexpectedly and suddenly as a thief in the night. [3] When people are saying, All is well and secure, and, There is peace and safety, then in a moment unforeseen destruction (ruin and death) will come upon them as suddenly as labor pains come upon a woman with child; and they shall by no means escape, for there will be no escape.

Acts 2:43-47 (KJV)
And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. [44] And all that believed were together, and had all things common; [45] And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men , as every man had need. [46] And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, [47] Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Acts 4:32-35 (AMP)
Now the company of believers was of one heart and soul, and not one of them claimed that anything which he possessed was exclusively his own, but everything they had was in common and for the use of all. [33] And with great strength and ability and power the apostles delivered their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace (loving-kindness and favor and goodwill) rested richly upon them all. [34] Nor was there a destitute or needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses proceeded to sell them, and one by one they brought (gave back) the amount received from the sales [35] And laid it at the feet of the apostles (special messengers). Then distribution was made according as anyone had need.

Matthew 7:13-15 (AMP)
Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. [14] But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it. [15] Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves.

Luke 12:45-47 (AMP)
But if that servant says in his heart, My master is late in coming, and begins to strike the menservants and the maids and to eat and drink and get drunk, [46] The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour of which he does not know, and will punish him and cut him off and assign his lot with the unfaithful. [47] And that servant who knew his master''s will but did not get ready or act as he would wish him to act shall be beaten with many lashes.

Luke 12:39-40 (AMP)
But of this be assured: if the householder had known at what time the burglar was coming, he would have been awake and alert and watching and would not have permitted his house to be dug through and broken into. [40] You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour and a moment when you do not anticipate it.
