On June 9th, I received a message from God through the scriptures, Isaiah 32: 9-20. I've held this for a while and felt compelled to release it today. I had for a time, lost the message within the message... I focused on the wrong part trying to figure it out a certain aspect - timing - that was distracting from what God wished to say.
The same day that I received this message from the Lord, I received an email outlining another specific prophecy given 4 days or so prior to what I received. It has never failed that when God has impressed something upon me, that another confirming message follows. It was a message from a pastor named Darren Smith. I don't know Darren, but several things in the message confirmed to me that this was from the Lord as well. It was to me a confirming sign that the below message is from the Lord too.
I'm young in this and struggle in whether or not something is from the Lord or if it's just my fancying... So, God graciously obliges my struggle with a gentle urging that He has spoken and I should share.
I questioned the nature of the message God had revealed to me because of a specific phrase, "In just over a year from now, you'll be shaken out of your lazy lives" (Isaiah 32:10 The Message). At first it seemed that a specific timing was being given as to when the judgment would take place, so this caused caution in me. I had a trusted spiritual leader examine and give insight to the prophecy, or message, and learned that this doesn't necessarily mean a literal year, although it still could, be could most likely be a metaphor for "in a very short time." For instance, an "hour" in the Bible often means a time or span of time and not necessarily a literal hour. Keep this in mind when reading the message, and don't get so caught up with the timing issue as I did and miss the message(s). It is not the message. One of the most important messages comes in the most subtle of phrases, "All that I have said, I will do."
Here is the message as I received it on June 9th, 2009:
"Doom to you, oh nation for your end has come. Weeping and wailing will be your produce, for I move against you to humble you before myself. You have not returned to me though I have called you. I've waited patiently for your return that will not come until I strike you down. It is you who have forced My hand against yourselves. Oh, how I would have loved to be your God and for you to be My people, but you wouldn't have it. No, you preferred to chase your own gods, those you created from your own works. You wouldn't listen to me though I warned you and warned you. You openly mock those I've sent with the message rather choosing to gather unto yourselves false teachers who speak smooth sayings - these I have NOT sent! They have built for themselves empires on the hopes of the poor and those who are heavy burdened. They have not shown My little ones My love and good news. Now they have called on themselves destruction. I will make an ash heap out of their so-called hallowed halls. Their empires will dirty the feet of my tramplings, as I alone am the champion of the weak whom these false teachers have preyed upon. This will be the lot of all those who seek their way. I will stand over them and mock their efforts with my knee firmly thrust into their throats. The weight of my glory will silence their sinful mouths and the poor will laugh at their folly. I will have no super stars represent me, they only represent themselves. I am now their enemy.The Lord's message as received from Isaiah 32.
In just a little over a year from now, they'll all be shaken out of their lazy lives. All that I have said I will do. My wrath is kindled against this nation and it will burn in fury. In calamity and chaos I will strike you and the world will see your fall. They will laugh at the embarrassment that you've become, oh Great Nation. Who is so decadent now? You will fill your glasses with tears and drink their sorrows. I have warned you but you made Me your joke; I am nothing more than a punchline to you as well as my people whom you mock. You think you are so wise with your opinions and acts of fake kindness, but I see your hearts. The good things that you do are for your own benefit. You only care for your appearance, but I am going to mar your appearance. You will be un-recognizable as a man. My fists will break your face and your wealth will disappear in an hour. It is I who has picked this fight with you now and you will be destroyed.
The righteous need not worry. For I am your sustainer. This is not a lesson they need to learn, for the righteous know in whom they have believed. Take courage for I am your champion. I will defend you. My judgment is reserved not for you, oh righteous, but for the wicked. Keep trusting me. I will not fail you, nor have I ever failed you. My records are sure, look to them for I will sustain the righteous as I always have. I am coming quickly... do not despair little ones.
Wow very sobering indeed. I've wondered quite often in the last few months if everyone on the world was just blind or ignorant with some of the decisions being made lately. It seems that God will open their eyes, though maybe not in the most pleasant way. May God keep his promise to the wicked and the righteous, and by his grace and the Son's sacrifice, may I be counted amongst the latter. God bless Jeremy.
