Ezekiel 33-34, Hebrews 13, Psalms 115:1-18, Proverbs 27:21-22

What God said to me – Does your life and walk reflect My glory or your own?  Do you seek My glory or your own?  All that you have and are and accomplish is because of Me – not you.  Your health, your wealth, your talents, your abilities, your intelligence, your gifts, your accomplishments – all are because of the grace and mercy I have extended to you in order to carry out My plan for your life.  So also is your lack of any of these things because of the grace and mercy I have extended to you in order to carry out My plan for your life.  I know what you need in your life so you can best reflect My glory and I can accomplish My purpose in you.  When you walk with Me you must learn to be content with who you are and where you are and acknowledge that it is all from me if you are to bring glory to Me.  The key is to walk with Me and allow Me to work in and through you.

Ezekiel 31-32, Hebrews 12:14-29, Psalms 113-114, Proverbs 27:18-20

What God said to me – Even when evil has reached a crescendo and My judgment is at the door, I take no delight in the death and destruction of evil men.  My heart has always been to draw people to repentance and to be able to restore them to the place where I always desired they should be – walking with Me, serving Me, worshipping Me.  As a watchman on the wall warning people of the impending judgment, your responsibility is not just to warn, but also to point them to where their salvation is found.  Don’t just tell them of the punishment and destruction of judgment but tell them of the hope and joy of salvation and restoration.  In doing so you will be faithful and obedient to Me and I will be pleased.  Don’t take on the burden of their response – it is not yours to bear.  Your responsibility is faithfulness and obedience.

Ezekiel 29-30, Hebrews 11:32-12:13, Psalms 112:1-10, Proverbs 27:17

What God said to me – I know you think of judgment as punishment and devastation, but it is much more.  It is when I manifest My holiness in the midst of it all.  Judgment is not just because of disobedience and rebellion – it is also because My holiness cannot abide sin.  In order for My children to spend eternity with Me, judgment must come so that all sin and rebelliousness and ungodliness are dealt with because My holiness requires they be removed.  I have been patient for a very long time in order to give time for repentance and restoration, but My patience is coming to an end.  My plans have a set time and when the time comes, I will accomplish them.  You must be ready.  You must be alert.  Don’t let down your guard because you think there is plenty of time.  Behold I stand at the door.
