Be Ready To Give An Answer
God spoke to me a short while ago and simply said this, “I AM in control. Let it remain that way.”
You see, I have been fearful and my soul has agonized over what is and has been transpiring all around us.
I am nothing; and I don’t claim anything. What He might allow me to share right now can only come from Him; frankly speaking, I couldn’t make a grand speech if I wanted to. And I have no desire to preach to anyone.
A longtime dear friend of mine sent me a message. He said that I have been silent. He’s right. I am rightly sincere when I say that my hearts desire is to follow the leading of The Spirit.
That is what is missing in so much of what we hear and do in this hour. We’ve talked about praying here; we’ve gone at length to discuss that we even need to be on our face before God about the events that are unfolding even as we speak.
Choose your words carefully now. We can communicate the things we need to say without calling names or going into a rant. We know what’s going on; it’s been very clear.
The oppression that has come against all, and especially those who have been called to this time and place, has been beyond words.
If our spirit has not been shaken to its core, then we have no doubt been distracted. Many people have been deceived today.
There are many who maintained a spiritual or religious front, that may not even know they are in the midst of deception.
It won’t help to go into some kind of naming out of ways we have failed in what we were taught. The ministry will be held accountable for the decline of teaching the things concerning these times. It’s been forgotten.
I didn’t know we’d still be here. I too thought we’d be gone by now.
I’m human, believe it or not. And I’ve been so full of anger. Before someone starts quoting verses, I must recall what the scripture says.
“Be angry….” but don’t let it make you sin — say things out of anger that hurts someone or causes you to lose your witness.
I reminded some folk lately about how angry Jesus was at the temple that day. He took “a scourge of small cords” and drove the moneymakers out of His Father’s House.
He called out those who had a form of godliness but lacked the power that was supposed to go with it. He charged them as hypocrites and yes, even snakes.
I’ve wanted to say a lot. But as humbly as I know how, I must say that I have not been permitted by The Spirit to say it here.
This is the only ministry I have at the time; and it simply does not belong to me. I lay on the floor before The LORD every single time before I sit here to type one word or letter.
I tell Him that I would rather die right now, than offend Him in any kind of way. I’ve never been more serious in my whole life.
Enough of this — of us grieving The Holy Spirit and thinking we can entertain or say it our own way.
What’s happening right now, at almost 6 a.m., is what I was afraid would be going on. I thought there was enough of us to override all of this; enough of us praying and seeking God about it all.
It may work out; but it may not — a great move of The Spirit in this final time. I’ve told God we need more time to carry this out. I’ve said to Him for days now, “But God, how can this be carried out if we don’t have the freedom to operate these gifts and function in all of the ministries you’ve ordained and given us?”
Don’t tell me it’s only about house to house; they fully intend to stop that space too…..
Well I don’t know. I can’t see it yet. Have I felt discouraged? Yes. Have I questioned? Many times. Do I repent for my lack of trust in God that He knows exactly what He is doing? I didn’t at first…. I did not know my lack of trust was so severe!
After the things God has done for me and the places in The Spirit He has shared with me, I should know better.
But I’ve never been here before. I’ve had so much sickness and suffering. I’ve sought God for every living area of my life. I didn’t know I had so much stuff in me that might even yet hinder the work He has for me. It has taken Angels to help me.
The LORD appeared to me a couple days ago. He’s closer to me now than ever in my life. He comes in a special way when I’m feeling so worried, thinking it’s all impossible or to give special instruction.
I say to you — this is an all out spiritual transpiration; evil and wicked men and women are only being used by a much greater force than they even know.
These are they, who will one day cry for the rocks to fall on them and hide them from the face of God.
Be spiritual!
Let the deeper realm surround you and let the Holy Ghost show you what to do; in everything.
We must get our ear open, and we must hear; we have to.
The voice of The LORD will guide us. It’s in the Book. Be ready to give an answer. Do it with meekness, and fear.

Amen, so much of these words have been my unspoken thoughts lately. It feels comforting to read this testimony because this is how we overcome. Glory to God. As the old song says,”I pray we’ll all be ready for HIS return.
Spot on brother! That’s the key to all that we do, having the guidance and leading of the Spirit in our lives. Where He is, there is freedom and liberty. Be at peace my brother cause He is there with you…let go and let God…shalom
so true brother….I feel this right now the Lord says…..Stand still and know that I am God……stand still but in a realm of praise and worship and praying in tongues thus cleansing ourselves and keeping ourselves above the darkness and deception the world is surrounded in right now….as we do this we will be able to see and hear truth from lies….trusting our Lord who is in charge of all things…if our eyes go on what is happening in the world right now we tend to fear and allthru Gods word he tells us not to fear and only trust him….our departure is nigh….thank you for being so sincere
Thank you for your words. Much of what you said mirror my own feelings at different times in the recent past. I do trust God with all of my heart. Sometimes I have to remind myself of that fact when I’m in that place of discouragement. I’ll continue to seek Him & listen to what He’s saying as I go to His Word. Amen!
Amen – this is truth and resonates deep in my spirit thank you for being real
