Luke 21:23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
When we read in the Bible about the times when the Lord became the greatest enemy of His own people and thousands died, we tend to think, “Is God merciless”?
Aware of a great disaster set to happen in the next year (if my interpretation of visions is correct). The vision was given many years back, and things that did not exist then came into existence over time. Every time I asked the Lord why, He answered with His disappointment in what is happening in churches. Since that day, all He is doing is exposing the hearts of the leaders, and I am seeing the worst side of them, which I was ignorant of before. People whom I looked up to and admired, today I look at them with wonder as to whether they know what they are doing. Yesterday too, I received a great shock which has broken me deeply. From a position of “Why is the Lord merciless” it becomes “How is the Lord so patient till now”.
Today I did not want to send out this message, for what is the use of beating people with the same stick when they do not want to hear it; all they want to listen to is ‘God is good always’, ‘God forgives’, ‘He understands’, ‘He has already set a place for us in Heaven’…
If God wanted to just onboard junk to Heaven, then He would not have given us His Word; He would have done it in private and sent a one-liner for all as an invitation.
The Lord, after His sacrifice, gave us His Spirit so that we abide in His Word. It is only those who abide in Him are the ones who will see the gates of Heaven.
[Prayer Starter]
Lord, You are Almighty God. You, God, created us for a purpose, and Heaven is just a temporary place for us. You will create a greater Heaven and nations, for You have things that are beyond human imagination set for us. Lord, we pray we do not take You lightly but understand the seriousness of what You have called us to…
We make this prayer in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
