It's not often that the Lord speaks to me during prayer and tells me to share what he has spoken but today as I stood in praise and worship He spoke very clearly and impressed upon my heart to share His words.
"For I am overcome with grief says the Lord. Weeping will endure for more than the night but I will come in the night and deliver my people. Woe I say unto them who do not hear. Time is drawing near for the Son of Man's return. Take up your cross NOW.. follow me me NOW.. For I am with you. Until the end of the age will I cry unto thee... Seek me and you will find my face.. Hear me and I will answer. Come to me and I will heal. Seek me for I am nigh.. SEEK ME, FIND ME."
And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the Lord. And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes: Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake. And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake. And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake. And the Lord went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
God didn't show me the US being destroyed, but He did press into my spirit the urgency for us to REPENT, for the intercessors and those who know how to pray to SEEK HIM, and the importance of being found RIGHTEOUS. He made very plain that He would deliver HIS PEOPLE from the weeping. So I encourage each of you to seek God for yourselves. If you've never prayed, start now. If you've never read your Bible, start now.. If you haven't been living for God, do it NOW. Judgement is coming and I pray that we are all ready and found in right standing when it comes.
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
It's time that we as a nation humble ourselves and pray.
