January 20, 2023 – Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

 Do not allow your feelings to lead or guide you.  Now you must live by faith, which is not feeling-based. 

 
Good morning,
 
    Do not allow your feelings to lead or guide you.  Now you must live by faith, which is not feeling-based.  Here is where you must lean your entire personality over on Me and keep your hand and your eyes on Me.   Decisions made now centered on your feelings will surely end in ruin and disaster.  Hear My voice clearly and watch My steps also.  Know Me and My Word, for those who once followed Me and did not truly love Me will find it difficult to hold on.  So it may seem as if you are walking alone, but remember I always have many that have not bowed their knee to the god of this world.  I am restoring joy and strength to many that stood through the difficult tests and trials, those who have endured hardness as My soldiers will shine forth as a great city of light. Instead of failing, they have learned how to overcome by the blood and the Word of their testimony.  When tested, tempted, and tried they withstood the enemy's beguiling voice of deceit.  As in any war, it is the front-liners who are assaulted the most.  Yet, when they outlast all attacks, they receive the greatest reward and spoils.  Rewards of honor and valor, are things that distinguish them from all others who march alongside them.
  
    Do not let the tactics of the wicked one cause you to become offended, for many of your loved ones may lend their members to offend in this season.  Many who oppose Me may be found in your own household, these are signs of the times and of My soon return.  You must keep on walking to higher places in Me.  Run with those who are running to win, not those who have let the love of this world's system overtake their love for Me.  Remember I have foretold you that people would be lovers of themselves, haters of those who do good.  So you must subdue your feelings, for the enemy desires for you to make strategic moves based only on what you feel.  You must realize that these choices would cause chaos in your life.  Now is when you must pursue the enemy with the Word, war with the promises that I have given unto you.  My Word will stand through it all, every violent attack against you was sent as a missile to bring you down.  I expect My warriors to rise with the weapons of warfare that I have placed at your disposal.  They are mighty to bring you through to victory!  Stay safe underneath the shadow of My wings!
 
    "If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you.If you belonged to the world, the world would treat you with affection and would love you as its own. But because you are not of the world [no longer one with it], but I have chosen (selected) you out of the world, the world hates (detests) you." (John 15:18-19) 
 

    "For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." (2 Tim. 3:2-5)

 
    "Take [with me] your share of the hardships and suffering [which you are called to endure] as a good (first-class) soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier when in service gets entangled in the enterprises of [civilian] life; his aim is to satisfy and please the one who enlisted him." (2 Tim. 2:3-4)

 This year begins the Jewish year of 5783, September 25th. It will be a year of making the right decisions and choices, especially about hidden sins, poor choices, family, health, career, and your position and place in Me.

 
Good morning,
 
    This year begins the Jewish year of 5783, September 25th. It will be a year of making the right decisions and choices, especially about hidden sins, poor choices, family, health, career, and your position and place in Me.  A season will be allowed to place My Word above all else. My grace will abound in your lives this year to follow through in every Godly choice made. Grace, not a watered-down version, but My grace, which empowers you to overcome every inability, grace that enables you to do My Word, My grace will keep you strong in Me. So that when the year 5784 comes, all the decisions and choices that you choose will have desired results. The year 5784 will be a time of rapid consequences of choices made without seeking My wisdom. Every step taken this year of 5783 will bring greater clarity, with clarity you will have a defined purpose. Nothing will hinder you or be able to keep you from following through. As you continue to follow through you will walk into the place that I ordained. Your results will be good because you chose rightly. Every step will bring you closer to the promises made to you. 
    As you walk, you will arise in your faith. My true bride and church will awaken from her heavy slumber of sleep imposed by apathy among other spirits. Know that many are in the valley of decision. What will you do? Do not be like the Laodicean church, lukewarm. I will have a people that are on fire and hearts that are blazing with their love for Me. The fire in your heart will keep you from being deceived, for all that are being deceived are not aware that they have become lukewarm. Too many things have entered in and choked My Word and made it ineffective. Stir up the flames once again. I have a remnant that hears and do, they have not bowed their knee to Baal. They are building a wall of faith inaccessible to the enemy and yes, they can withstand any attack from the wicked one.  This is My beloved, in who I Am well pleased! 
 
    "I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live." (Deut. 30:19)
 
    "Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision." (Joel 3:14)
 
    "And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the trusty and faithful and true Witness, the Origin and Beginning and Author of God’s creation:  I know your [record of] works and what you are doing; you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth!" (Rev. 3:14-16)
 
    "So too at the present time there is a remnant (a small believing minority), selected (chosen) by grace (by God’s unmerited favor and graciousness)." (Romans 11:5)
 
Love,
