PLAYING IN A WAR ZONE

PLAYING IN A WAR ZONE

I see so many of My children playing in the war zone with no understanding of the times. There is a time to laugh and a time to weep. The night season that you are in, is the time to weep, weeping for the souls of the suffering. Those who are suffering because the church played, instead of prepared. While the churches spared over who could attract the most people, by being the most seeker friendly, the message of preparation was neglected. Now that neglect is resulting in the suffering of millions caught unaware.

Some preached a message of faith with out action, which is dead faith. Some preach a message of becoming My friend, but without holiness, which is impossible. There are foolish messages of intimacy with Me while on the run, where I must keep up with the times. Multitudes are trying to be creative with ideas that will make Me more acceptable. Parties, wide screen football games, food, fashion and everything and anything but repentance and weeping at My altar.

I am not trying to impress anyone on earth or in heaven. I am trying to save a people from a burning hell. I accept people, people don't accept Me. They do not choose Me, I choose them. Ignorance is so great among the western church because they demand preachers with happy messages, that teach how to save your life, not loose it. My true messengers share the good news of death to self, which leads to a resurrected live in Me. 

Then and then only, is there true intimacy with Me, where I prepare hearts, and open eyes to see the war zone and the need to prepare. Childish things are put away and a way of escape becomes the good news preached from the housetops. 

A message of repentance from sin and dead works, will always come from one who is intimate with Me. My heart is to have a people, a holy nation, set apart, one that is peculiar to the world. Millions will want to be part of this people, but will insist on coming the seeker friendly way, avoiding taking up their cross, in order to follow Me. Because of false teachers, dying to self is foreign and rejected as a message from Me. This teaching has left millions in a state of denial that will cost them their lives.

The whole world was living the seeker friendly way, eating, drinking, marrying, and laughing at Noah, until I shut the door. Then the weeping started, no more partying, no more wide screen football, no more barbecues, and no more soft easy messages, to tickle itching ears. My prophet Noah, in 120 years of preaching, never preached a single beautiful message, to make Me more acceptable. Their time for weeping came but too late. Remember everybody weeps outside the closed door.

His church remained small as did Mine, because of the message we preached, but it is a world wide church today. My kingdom grows slowly but it's eternal and in the end it will be full.

Psalm 30:5 (AMP)
For His anger is but for a moment, but His favor is for a lifetime or in His favor is life. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

Psalm 126:5-6 (AMP)
They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing. [6] He who goes forth bearing seed and weeping at needing his precious supply of grain for sowing shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

Luke 16:25 (KJV)
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

Matthew 25:10-13 (KJV)
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. [11] Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. [12] But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. [13] Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Genesis 7:16-17,23 (AMP)
And they that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded Noah; and the Lord shut him in and closed the door round about him. [17] The flood that is, the downpour of rain was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased and bore up the ark, and it was lifted high above the land. [23] God destroyed (blotted out) every living thing that was upon the face of the earth; man and animals and the creeping things and the birds of the heavens were destroyed (blotted out) from the land. Only Noah remained alive, and those who were with him in the ark.

Jonah 3:6-10 (AMP)
For word came to the king of Nineveh of all that had happened to Jonah, and his terrifying message from God, and he arose from his throne and he laid his robe aside, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. [7] And he made proclamation and published through Nineveh, By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed nor drink water. [8] But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. [9] Who can tell, God may turn and revoke His sentence against us when we have met His terms, and turn away from His fierce anger so that we perish not. [10] And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God revoked His sentence of evil that He had said that He would do to them and He did not do it for He was comforted and eased concerning them.

Luke 9:23 (AMP)
And He said to all, If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself disown himself, forget, lose sight of himself and his own interests, refuse and give up himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also.

Hebrews 12:14 (AMP)
Strive to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration and holiness without which no one will ever see the Lord.

John 15:16 (AMP)
You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you I have planted you, that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting that it may remain, abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name as presenting all that I AM, He may give it to you.

Matthew 7:13-14 (KJV)
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: [14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matthew 7:21 (AMP)
Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.

2 Timothy 4:3 (AMP)
For the time is coming when people will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching for something pleasing and gratifying, they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold,

Matthew 24:37-39,42-44 (AMP)
As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. [38] 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. [42] Watch therefore give strict attention, be cautious and active, for you do not know in what kind of a day whether a near or remote one your Lord is coming. [43] But understand this: had the householder known in what part of the night, whether in a night or a morning watch the thief was coming, he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be undermined and broken into. [44] You also must be ready therefore, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him.
