Shalom Brothers and Sisters in the body of Christ. I pray it is well with you all. That you are in good spirits and staying in the presence and shadow of our Lord, Almighty GOD, And Father.

As I ministered to the LORD this rising, I started to think of the brawl in Alabama. I thought about some comments made from the newsroom reporters; it made me laugh. One reported said something along the lines of, as they reviewed the footage, “Look at this man with the chair hitting people as things were getting under control”. I paraphrased it and unfortunately, I could not find the video itself. But I found it laughable.

When you begin to mix with “cultures’ or ‘scenes”, unfamiliar to your own, you HAVE to know the rules of engagement. And in this particular culture, Hebrew, the fight isn’t done until someone is bleeding, K.O (knocked out), unalive, arrested or until all parties have been separated AND left the vicinity. Sometimes there are “timed fights”. IYKYK! I remember thinking, “The Israelite man and woman are TIRED”. And it shows! This is a people who, their whole lives, have been fighting everything and everyone.

We are NOW seeing the weight of oppression. (Ecclesiastes 7:7).

Father then brought to my memory a prophecy about His people. He said, Jacob is asleep among a multitude of people (those who hate him). Sounds familiar? When he awakes, he will roar like a lion and tread down all in his path like a young lion and no one can stay him. (Micah 5:8-9; 3 Nephi 21:12-13). Then He kept bringing to my mind the prophecy of the Carmonians (Iran), Arabia (Iraq) and the Assyrians (ISH).

Ask for wisdom, discernment, and understanding with a pure a heart and He will reveal this to you. (James 1:5; Proverbs 4:5-7)

We ALL have turned away from the LORD. Chose to hear His word from the mouth of a man instead of Him. And He has allowed us to see and experience the cost of our sins. He gave us over to what we asked for, a man to lead us. (Exodus 20:19; Numbers 20:11-12). It came with his weaknesses and the weaknesses of all that came after him.

That being said, we ALL are aware The Bible has been translated many times. And each time, we see A LOT of the plain and precious things being removed. We were forewarned so we wouldn’t do this. Talk about the mercy of our Lord. (Deuteronomy 4:2; Revelation 22:18).

Scriptures were corrupted and perverted by wicked men. (Matthew 11:12; 1 Maccabees 3:47-52; Job 9:24). Keeping you from receiving the kingdom of God. Christ revealed this very thing when He came in the flesh to free Israel from the captivity of these churches and wicked men. (Matthew 23:13). Which is why it is difficult to understand scripture and why you need the Holy Spirit of God (1 Corinthians 2:10-16) and His precepts. (Isaiah 28:10; Psalm 119:128; Psalm 119:104).

Don’t believe me? Reason within yourselves, why are there so many denominations from ONE BOOK? (Proverbs 13:10-11; Isaiah 55:8-10). What is the cause behind the contention of this one Holy record? Precisely my point. WICKED MEN! We need to use ALL the records of the Lord to get the fullness of His wisdom. (Matthew 4:4; John 21:25; Ecclesiastes 12:12; D&C 6:27). Then can we piece together what Christ wanted us to know, that we weren’t ready for in that time. (John 16:12). What wicked men have hidden from us. (Ezekiel 37:16-28; D&C 27:1-7)

This wasn’t always the case. (1 Nephi 13:26; Hosea 4:6). However, the foundation of the Bible is the gospel of Christ, and that is good. But there is more to it than what we have been taught, led to believe or could have imagined. History shows that when we do not know our past or where we come from, we are bound to repeat those mistakes. (Daniel 9:5-6). Even today, as always, have we turned from the ways of our Heavenly Father, the Creator of all things. (Jeremiah 5:23-27; Isaiah 53:6). We have turned aside to worship and sacrifice to EVERY OTHER THING BUT HIM!

We have even gone as far as to deny His VERY existence. (Jasher 6:19-20; Psalm 14:1-3)

Christ not only came to teach us the laws and commandments of our Father but how to enter into His presence/rest. (John 10:1-11; Luke 4:43; Matthew 25:33-40; Matthew 25:19-30). Through Him we learn how to put the enemy under our feet and get the victory as He did. (Philippians 4:13; 1 Corinthians 15:57). And lastly, all the plain and precious things that was stored up for us from the foundation of the world. The things we were taught in His kingdom that He wants us to know while were on Earth. (John 14:26; Jeremiah 1:5; Job 38:21).

This journey has been about awakening our memory, getting out of sin and bringing light into our lives. (John 1:1-5; 2 Peter 1:19). To gain a higher knowledge and learn who we TRULY are, what we are and who we are called to be. (Luke 1:77; Proverbs 2:5-6; Matthew 13:35)

This world is NOT our end, just the beginning!

The more I understand, the more I see why the wars and destruction MUST come. It’s the ONLY way to cleanse the earth and bring repentance. (Matthew 24:6; 2 Esdras 15:4-11). To see how far we’ve fallen. Then and only then, can we truly live the way the Lord intended for us, in peace, love and unity. (Mark 12:30-31; MATTHEW 22:37-40).

But before we can experience true peace, we must experience war. Physically, as well as Spiritually.

Father directed me to the Apocrypha. (2 Esdras 15:24-44). And this is where the prophecy becomes multifaceted. As we continue to read in those same passages, Micah prophesy of this war. 3 Nephi reveals the same war, but to WHOM it will come. BUT, in 2 Esdras, it reveals EVERYTHING pertaining to this prophecy. What will happen, to whom it is happening and by whose hands it will come.

Without the information of these three Holy records. We’d never know all the details pertaining to the destructions to come. Just like in the days of Noah. And this is not for the righteous, the saints nor the elect of God to fear. (Matthew 24:21-22; Revelation 18:4-20). But we will have to endure this tribulation. (Psalm 91:1-11; Psalms 34:7; Jasher 6:28-34). However, that does not mean our disobedience and rebelliousness won’t lead us stray to be numbered among the wicked. (1 Corinthians 9:27; Numbers 16:26)

This is the time where Satan is looking to draw out and deceive the very elect if it were possible. (1 Peter 5:8; Matthew 24:24)

We MUST step away from ALL things that offend the Lord and cause you to transgress with prejudice! (Hebrews 12:1; Ephesians 4:17-32; Leviticus 19:26-31)

This is not the time to be a lukewarm believer. (Revelation 3:15-16). But obedient unto the death of this flesh and the lust thereof. (Romans 8:11-13; Galatians 5:16). When Christ return, He will not wait nor have anymore mercy nor compassion for you who chose the love of the world and the things therein, above Him. (2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Exodus 15:3; John 14:15; John 15:23; James 4:4; 1 John 2:15).

This is the time for self-examination, reflection and perfection in the spirit. Of correction not comfort, accountability not pity, obedience and not rebellion. (Proverbs 27:5-6; 2 Corinthians 13:5; Proverbs 15:10; 1 Samuel 15:22-23)

Go into your bedrooms, bathrooms or closets; shut the door and ask Father to have mercy and grace upon you. (Matthew 6:6; 1 John 5:14). Confess AND repent for your sins that you’ve committed. To reveal any secret or hidden sins. (Psalms 90:8; 1 Timothy 5:24). Repent of that as well. (1 John 1:9; James 5:16). And thank Him for forgiving you. For extending His mercy and grace to you. (Ephesians 5:20; 1 Thessalonians 5:18)

Ask Him what is it He wants to reveal to you. What area is He trying to show you that needs growth and change. What you need to be healed and delivered from. Ask Him where should you begin. (Matthew 7:7; James 1:5-8). He WILL answer. Father delights in those who seeks Him and wants to live a life like Christ. Change is inevitable, it’s more about the manner in which you change, for good or evil.

Stay in His word daily! Studying to show thyself approved! (2 Timothy 2:15; Proverbs 3:3; Deuteronomy 11:18; Proverbs 6:21; Exodus 13:9; Proverbs 7:3; )

This will be a very uncomfortable process. Like ALL new things are. But the LORD will reveal the areas. (Zechariah 13:9; Isaiah 48:10; 1 Peter 5:10). Sometimes they’ll come in the form of a memory, things that has happened to you or caused by you.

At times it’ll replay like a movie. (Lamentations 3:19-27; Psalms 51:-7). When and if this happens, ask Him to give you wisdom and discernment. Not everything is of Him and nor is everything of the devil! Your own mind will make you believe that the Father “will not do, say or show you such and such”, but if it’s for wisdom and correction, HE WILL. If it is condemnation and persecution, it’s not of Him. (Revelation 3:19; Hebrews 12:5-11). This is how your grow your relationship with Him, CONSTANT communication.

If you have a spirit of offence and cannot receive correction, then you my brother, ARE the problem! And no amount of prayer will help. You need to FAST & PRAY! (Matthew 17:21; Mark 9:29)

ALWAYS ask for wisdom, knowledge and discernment. His word is sharper than a two-edge sword. (Hebrews 4:12; Ephesians 6:7). Remember He chastise and rebuke those He love, in love, unless you are none of His. Then you must be awaiting your day of punishment. Filling up your cup with the wrath of His indignation. And at that point, NO ONE can help you. You’ve been given over to a reprobate mind. (Romans 1:28; Titus 1:16. 1 Timothy 4:1-2)

Once you begin this walk, there’s no turning back. (2 Peter 2:21; Hebrews 6:4-8; Ephesians 4:30). Why would you want too anyway? You know what’s down that road, you’ve been there and saw ALL it had to offer. Why go back? It’s insanity to repeat the same thing and expect a different outcome. I promise you WON’T regret this choice. Come into the kingdom light now while there’s still time and grace to do so.

Remember, this destruction is NOT for the Elect, but for the wicked and sinners. (Enoch 5:7-9/ Psalms 91:7).
