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.

Ezekiel 27-28, Hebrews 11:17-31, Psalms 111:1-10, Proverbs 27:15-16

What God said to me – By faith Abraham – By faith Isaac – By faith Jacob – By faith Joseph – By faith Moses – By faith Rahab – Notice it was all by faith. It was not by ability. It was not by riches. It was not by talent. It was not by intelligence. It was by faith! So, stop making excuses for why you can’t do whatever it is. It is not about you and what you can or cannot do. Look at Abraham’s response to his test in offering Isaac – he considered that I was able. I call My children to do ordinary things and extraordinary things in their service. No matter what you are facing – no matter what I have asked you to do, you can be assured that if I have called you to do it, I will provide all you need to fulfill your calling. If I have placed you in a situation in your life, no matter how difficult, I will provide all you need to sustain you. I have given you all you need for life and godliness, so by faith, look to Me, the author and the finisher of your faith.
