THE LAST DAYS PROPHETIC WARNING (MUST READ) FROM 1965

Bible Question, Bible Sermons, Jesus Christ, Word of God

Wow! This is a prophecy concerning the last days that was given back in 1965... If you have read my first post then you know about what Jesus was saying about the last days. Check out how these two prophecies tie into each other. It is fascinating.

PROPHETIC WARNING ABOUT THE LAST DAYS.
by Stanley Frodsham
Bible Question, Bible Sermons, Jesus Christ, Word of God
This prophecy was given at the Elim Bible Institute USA, in 1965 by the late Stanley Frodsham. Brother Frodsham was one of those who received his Baptism in the Holy Ghost at Sunderland in 1908 where the Pentecostal movement in Britain had its beginnings. He was a recognized prophet and teacher in the Body of Christ whose life and ministry spanned the Pentecostal Revival, the great Healing Revival and the early days of the Charismatic Movement. He also authored the well-known book, “Smith Wigglesworth: Apostle of Faith”. It is written: “Despise not prophesying. Prove all things, hold fast that which is good” (I Thessalonians 5.-20,21). The following is a prophetic word given to one who was under a heavy anointing. We believe all who read these solemn prophetic warnings should take diligent heed to them. “Believe in the Lord your God, so ye shall be established,- believe His prophets, so shall ye prosper” (II Chronicles 20.-20).

With great judgments will I plead with the population of this country in the last days. Great darkness is coming upon the countries that have heard my gospel but no longer walk in it in the last days. My wrath shall come upon them. The darkness shall be so great, and the anguish so sore that men will cry out for death and shall not find it. There shall be a lingering death, famine, and great catastrophes in the last days.

My wrath shall be manifested against all ungodliness in the last days. It shall come with great intensity in the last days. You have known My love but have not known My wrath, My severity. My judgments are literal and not a thing to be lightly passed over. Realize the severity of My judgments and My intense anger in the last days against the sin in My household. My judgments shall begin in My house. For I will cleanse My house that it be not partaker of My wrath against the iniquities of the cities. Before I visit the nations in judgment in the last days, I will begin at My house. When I do cause My wrath to come upon the cities of the world in the last days, My people shall be separate. I desire a people without spot or wrinkle in the last days, and such shall be preserved by Me in the time of My wrath coming upon all iniquity and unrighteousness.

I am going to prepare you for the coming last days by a hard path that will cause you to cry out continually unto Me. For when the going is easy, men do not seek Me, but rejoice in a temporary blessing. And when that blessing is removed they so often turn this way and that way but do not come to Me. I am showing you these things that you may seek Me continually in the last days and with great diligence. As you seek Me, I will open up truths to you that you have not seen before; and these very truths will be that which will enable you to stand in these last days. As you are persecuted, reviled and rejected by your brethren in the last days then you will turn unto Me with all your heart and seek Me for that spiritual life you have need of. And when tribulation comes in the last days you will have that which will enable you to stand. For many shall be tossed to and fro in the last days. Men’s hearts shall fail them because of trouble on every hand in the last days. For these days shall be very terrible in the last days, the like of which has never been seen before.

When I visit My people in mighty revival power in the last days, it is to prepare them for the darkness ahead. With the glory shall come great darkness in the last days, for the glory is to prepare My people for the darkness. I will enable My people to go through in the last days because of the visitation of My Spirit. Take heed to yourselves lest you be puffed up and think that you have arrived. Many shall be puffed up in the last days as in the olden days, for many then received My message but they continued not in it. Did I not anoint Jehu? Yet the things I desired were not accomplished in his life. Listen to the messengers, but do not hold men’s persons in admiration in the last days. For many whom I shall anoint mightily in the last days, with signs and miracles, shall become lifted up and shall fall by the wayside. I do not this willingly; I have made provision that they might stand. I call many into this ministry, and equip them; but remember that many shall fall. They shall be like bright lights in the last days , and the people shall delight in them. But they shall be taken over by deceiving spirits in the last days and shall lead many of My people astray.

Hearken diligently concerning these things, for in the last days shall come seducing spirits that shall turn many of My anointed ones away. Many shall fall through divers lusts in the last days, and because of sin abounding. But if you will seek Me diligently in the last days I will put My Spirit within you. When one shall turn to the right hand or to the left you shall not turn with them in the last days, but keep your eyes wholly on the Lord. The coming days are the most dangerous, difficult and dark, but there shall be a mighty outpouring of My Spirit upon many cities, and many shall be destroyed. My people must be diligently warned concerning the days that are ahead. Many shall turn after seducing spirits in the last days; many are already seducing My people. It is those who DO righteousness that are righteous. Many cover their sins by great theological words. But I warn you of seducing spirits who instruct My people in an evil way. Many of these I shall anoint in the last days, that they may purify and sift My people; for I would have a holy people.

Many shall come with seducing spirits and hold out lustful enticements in the last days. You will find that after I have visited My people again in the last days, the way shall become more and more narrow, and fewer shall walk there in. But be not deceived, the ways of righteousness are My ways. For though Satan come as an angel of light in the last days hearken not to him; for those who perform miracles in the last days and speak not righteousness are not of Me. I warn you with great intensity that I am going to judge My house in the last days and have a church without spot or wrinkle when I come. I desire to open your eyes and give you spiritual understanding, that you may not be deceived in the last days but may walk with uprightness of heart before Me, loving righteousness and hating every evil way. Look unto Me and I will make you to perceive with the eyes of the Spirit the things that lurk in darkness in the last days, that are not visible to the human eye. Let me lead you in this way in the last days that you may perceive the powers of darkness and battle against them. It is not a battle against flesh and blood; for if you battle in that way you accomplish nothing. But if you let Me take over in the last days and battle against the powers of darkness then they are defeated, and then liberation is brought to My people.

I warn you to search the Scriptures diligently these last days. For the things that are written shall indeed be made manifest. There shall come deceivers among My people in the last days in increasing numbers, who shall speak forth the truth and shall gain the favor of the people. For the people shall examine the Scriptures and say, “What these men say is true.” Then when they have gained the hearts of the people in the last days, then and THEN ONLY shall they bring out these wrong doctrines. Therefore, I say that you should not give your hearts to men, nor hold people’s persons in admiration in the last days. For by these very persons shall Satan enter into My people. WATCH FOR SEDUCERS in the last days. Do you think a seducer will brandish a new heresy and flaunt it before the people? He will speak the words of righteousness and truth, and will appear as a minister of light, declaring the Word in the last days. The people’s hearts shall be won. Then, when the hearts are won in the last days, they will bring out their doctrines, and the people shall be deceived. The people shall say, “Did he not speak thus and thus? And did we not examine it from the Word? Therefore he is a minister of righteousness.

This that he has now spoken we do not see in the Word, but it must be right, for the other things he spoke were true.”

Be not deceived in the last days. For the deceiver will first work to gain the hearts of many, and then shall bring forth his insidious doctrines. You cannot discern those who are of Me and those who are not of Me in the last days when they start to preach. But seek Me constantly, and then when these doctrines are brought out you shall have a witness in your heart that these are not of Me in the last days. Fear not, for I have warned you. Many will be deceived in the last days. But if you walk in holiness and uprightness before the Lord, your eyes shall be open and the Lord will protect you in the last days. If you will constantly look unto the Lord you will know when the doctrine changes, and will not be brought into it. If your heart is right I will keep you; and if you will look constantly to Me I will uphold you in the last days.

The minister of righteousness shall be on this wise — his life shall agree with the Word, and his lips shall give forth that which is wholly true, and it will be no mixture in the last days. When the mixture appears then you will know he is not a minister of righteousness. The deceivers in the last days speak first the truth and then error, to cover their own sins which they love. Therefore I exhort and command you to study the Scriptures relative to seducing spirits, for this is one of the great dangers of these last days.

I desire you to be firmly established in My Word in the last days and not in the personalities of men, that you will not be moved as so many shall be moved. I would keep you in the paths of righteousness. Take heed to yourselves in the last days and follow not the seducing spirits that are already manifesting themselves. Diligently inquire of Me when you hear something in the last days that you have not seen in the Word, and do not hold people’s persons in admiration, for it is by this very method that Satan will hold many of My people.

I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly, that you may triumph where I triumphed in the last days. On the cross I triumphed over all the power of Satan; and I have called you to walk in the same path. It is when your life is on the cross that you shall know the victory I have experienced. As you are on the cross, and seated in Me in the last days, then you shall know the power of the resurrection. When I come in My glory, the principalities and powers in the heavenly places shall be utterly broken. Fear not, for I have given you power whereby you may tread down the powers of darkness in the last days, and come forth victorious through every trial. As you are on the cross then you are victorious. It was on the cross that I triumphed over all the powers of the enemy. My life shall flow through you in the last days as you enter into these precious truths. Look unto Me, and appropriate My life. As your eyes and desires are toward Me in the last days, and you know what it is to be crucified with Me, then you shall live, and your anointing shall increase in the last days. It was not in My life that I walked upon the earth, but it was in My life when I was upon the cross that I openly spoiled principalities and powers.

I am showing you truths that shall cause you to overcome, to have power over the wicked one, truth that will liberate you and those round about you in the last days. You shall know also the fellowship of My sufferings. There is no other way whereby you may partake of this heavenly glory and reign with Me. “If we suffer with Him we shall reign with Him.” I desire to make those truths real within you. As you keep them before you in the last days, you will liberate many who are in bondage. You will have revelation of those who are in darkness in the last days and will have the keys to liberate the captives. Many seek to liberate, but they have not the keys. Upon the cross continually you will know the power of My resurrection in the last days that you may also partake of My glory. As you are willing to walk with Me and rejoice in your sufferings in the last days, you shall partake of My glory. Look unto Me for you have need of power to overcome the wicked one, and the bondages in other lives in the last days.

If you will indeed judge yourself in the last days, then you shall not be judged. As you seek My face and desire to be cleansed by Me in all truth and sincerity of heart in the last days I will judge you in the secret place, and the things that are in the secret place of your heart in the last days shall not be made manifest to others. I will do it in the secret place and no man shall know it. And the shame that shall be seen on many faces in the last days shall not be seen on your face. Therefore in love and mercy I am instructing you. And therefore I have said that if a man judge himself he shall not be judged. It is not My good pleasure that the shame of My people be seen by all in the last days. How can I judge the world if I judge not first My own house? Hearken unto these things I am telling you. If you will not hearken unto Me in the last days thy shame shall be evident to all.

I would have you consider My life on earth — the anointing upon Me was great and yet the temptations were great on every side; in one form and then in another, offering Me first the glory of the kingdoms of the earth and then reviling and persecuting Me. There will be great glory given to My people in the last days, and yet the temptations shall be intensified from every side. Think not that with the glory there shall be no temptations or persecutions in the last days. The glory of My church shall be great, and so shall be the temptations from the enemy to turn My people from My paths in the last days. I am warning you that when the glory shall be manifested in the last days, the temptations shall be great, until very few that start shall finish. First there shall be offered them great worldly possessions, and then great revilings and unbelief shall come in the last days.

Consider your Lord, that as He walked so it shall be for you in the last days. There shall be need of great intensity of purpose. At times everyone shall rise up against you in the last days, simply to turn you from the course that I would put you in. It is written of Me that I set My face as a flint to go to the direction My Father had prescribed for Me. If you will finish the course the Lord has laid down for you in the last days, you will have to set your face as a flint. With great determination you must walk in the course laid down for you. Many of your loved ones and those who follow with you shall persuade you in the last days and try to turn you from the course. With many words that seem right in the natural will they speak to you in the last days. Did not Christ rebuke Peter who would turn Him from the course God had prescribed?

Understand these two things and meditate upon them solemnly in the last days — the persecution and the darkness shall be as great as the glory in order to try to turn the elect and the anointed ones from the path the Lord has laid down for them. Many shall start but few shall be able to finish in the last days because of the greatness of grace that shall be needed to be able to endure unto the end. The temptations and the persecution of your Lord was continuous. He was tempted by Satan in many forms throughout His entire life and even to the cross when the ungodly cried out, “If thou be the Christ come down from the cross.” Think not that there shall be a time of no persecution in the last days, for it shall be from the time of your anointing until the end. Difficulties, and great persecution to the end. The Lord must prepare you to be an overcomer in all things in the last days, that you may be able to finish the course. The persecution shall increase in the last days even as the anointing shall increase.

In paths of judgement and righteousness shall the Lord God lead His people in the last days and bring them into that place which He has chosen for them. For the Lord has chosen a place for His people, a place of righteousness and holiness where He shall encamp round about them. And all who will be led of the Lord in the last days shall be brought into this holy place. For the Lord delights to dwell in His people and to manifest Himself through His people. The holiness of the Lord shall be manifested through His people in the last days. Let the Lord lead you and He will lead you in difficult places in the last days. He led His people of old through a place where no man dwelt, where no man had passed through, in a place of great danger and in the shadow of death. The Lord will indeed again lead His people through such places in the last days, and yet He will bring them out into a place of great glory. Understand that the way toward the glory is fraught with great danger in the last days and many shall fall to the right or to the left, many shall camp on lesser ground. But the Lord has a place of holiness and no unclean thing shall dwell among His people in the last days.

Put your trust in Him in the last days and He will bring you into a place of holiness. He desires to bring His people into great glory in the last days — the like of which has never been seen for what the Lord will do for those who put their trust in Him. It is a place of darkness and great danger that separates His people into the place He would have them walk in. He will protect them from the voices that would turn them from His path in the last days. He will bring them through the dark places, and through the treacherous paths in the last days, out into the light of His glory. He will rejoice greatly over His beloved in the last days and cause you to be filled with joy unspeakable. He seeks to lead His people into a new place of grace and glory in the last days where He will indeed encamp among them. Put your trust in Him in the last days, and He will surely bring you into this new place.

Fear not the days to come in the last days, but fear this only — that you shall walk in a manner pleasing to the Lord. In this time I am ordering and setting up My church and it shall indeed be pure, without spot or wrinkle. I will do work in My beloved in the last days that has not been seen since the foundation of the world. I have shown you these things that you may seek the Lord diligently with all your heart in the last days, and that you may be a preserver of His people.

Run not to this one nor to that one in the last days, for the Lord has so ordained that salvation is in Him and in Him alone. You shall not turn to this shepherd or to that one in the last days, for there shall be a great scattering upon the earth. Therefore look unto Him for He will indeed make these things clear to you in the last days. You shall not look here nor there in the last days, for the wells that once had water shall be no more. But as you diligently seek Him in the last days He shall increase your strength and your faith, that He may be able to prepare you for this time that is coming.

The truths that I have revealed to you must become a part of you — not just an experience, but a part of your very nature. Is it not written that I demand truth in the inward parts? It is the truth of the Lord expressed in your very being that shall hold you. Many shall experience the truth in the last days, but the truth must become a part of you, your very life. As men and women look upon you they will hear not only the voice in the last days but see the expression of the truth. Many shall be overcome in the last days because they are not constant in My ways, and because they have not permitted the truths to become part of them. I am showing you these things that you may be prepared for the last days, and having done all, to stand.

Do you have a bible question that has scared you on many occasions, and you didn't ask your bible question because you didn't want to be made fun of? Perhaps you have been taught different things about Jesus, and your bible question was... Does anyone hear from him directly today? The main bible question that all of us have is... AM I GOING TO HEAVEN? HOW WILL I KNOW FOR SURE? Read the following word from Jesus about the last days, and the answer to our main bible question will be made clear.

In a world full of fear and uncertainty, especially pertaining to the bride of Christ... I wanted to start a blog that will comfort the elect, and bring forth answers to our one bible question in every arena of life. The following is a prophecy from an unknown prophet that was given straight from the heart of Jesus Christ himself. Many answers about that bible question will be answered in this prophecy that will really put your minds at ease. The beautiful spoken words of our savior will bring to light the answer to our main bible question, and open your eyes to the future, to help you silence all of your fears. Once you read all of this... please post comments and interact with fellow blog readers. It is imperative that I get the answer we have to this one bible question out now. Thank you for visiting and God Bless You.

- LAST DAYS' ASSIGNMENTS AGAINST THE ELECT -
"My children perish." Jesus' voice was soft-so soft that it was barely audible. And then He turned to me, His beautiful countenance ravaged with grief. And as He looked at me, His expression became fierce with an anger that almost became terrible with the heat of His emotion-but all at once somehow I knew that none of His hot anger was directed toward His children.

Oh, yes, as He looked upon His household, He saw many stumbling and faltering in the fierce onslaughts, and He grieved terribly for us. But no, His anger burned hot against the hosts of hell and satanic princes that He saw lined up in the spiritual realm, meticulously rehearsed in their strategies and their wiles.

But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, he is taken away in and for his perversity and iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. So you, son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at My mouth and give them warning from Me. When I say, O wicked man, you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his perversity and iniquity, but his blood will I require at your hand.
Ezekiel 33:6-8, amp

Where will this bible question answer of the Lord lead us? If we as a nation do not pay attention to this bible question where Jesus is trying to shake us up, then we are going to become complacent. If we do continue to ignore all of this, there will not be enough "true" Christians who are able to get this bible question answer into their spirits, and the enemy will destroy us.

* THE UNLEASHING OF THE END-TIME SEDUCING SPIRITS *
And suddenly it was as though a heavy, heavenly veil was drawn back in the Spirit realm, and I saw the satanic princes in their battle dress standing in their chariots, directing the great mass of hellish battalions and powers and principalities-and they were standing as a great and seemingly fearsome mass in a line that stretched to eternity, waiting. And then a great shofar was sounded, and the fallen satanic princes and generals took their places in front of the battalions, as the great rumbling of Satan's chariots thundered. And all as one, they bowed their heads-as the prince of darkness made his entrance.

And as he stood there-all terrible in his damnable arrogance and rebellion-he lifted his sword high to the heavenlies, and again, as one man, I saw the princes and their battalions follow suit, and I heard Lucifer's spine-chilling cry: "It is TIME!" And the hordes of hell resounded with a great and terrible cry: "It is TIME." And as Lucifer turned to his fallen princes, I could hear his malicious hiss: "IT IS TIME TO TARGET THE CHAMPIONS."

And immediately it was as though I was back under the trees on the beautiful English lawn in front of the manor house where Jesus was standing-His countenance filled with such beauty, such grace-but His eyes seemed filled with a deep and unstoppable pain. He reached out His hand to me: "It has begun," He said.

I could hardly decipher His words, such was His anguish that it was as though He was choking with grief: "My children are falling. It has begun."

And still I could hardly make out His words for the great emotion that came from Him, and the tears could not keep from falling down His cheeks as He came toward me: "The targeting of the champions-My Father's champions here on Earth. The hosts of hell have been assigned for the past decades waiting for this hellish moment in the spirit realm, listening for the release of My End-Time move from Heaven. They have heard the mighty rush of My holy angels, and so in turn they have unleashed the most violent satanic assault that Earth has yet seen since the days of My birth when Satan's wrath was unleashed through Herod against the babes in arms in a huge murderous onslaught."

I stared at Him transfixed. And again a terrible grieving filled His countenance. "My children, My generals, My leaders, My priests..."

His voice was barely audible. I could almost feel His agony, for indeed as He thought of you and me, He was suffering for us. "The champions of My Father's household think they are prepared. Some do not fear the enemy..." He hesitated. "And that is good and right, but they also do not fear the Father. They rely on their own strength, on their own integrity, on their own valor." He looked unwaveringly into my eyes.

"It is hard for My Father to reach these, for they are blinded by their own deceptions and will easily be overcome by the battalions you just glimpsed. For many will succumb to the snare of the great deceiver of their souls-pride. But My grieving at this moment is not for them.

"My Father loves His children." He looked at me. "You cannot yet understand with what tremendous passion and compassion the Father holds for His redeemed ones. They are His greatest treasures in the universe. He delights in His children. He longs for their fellowship-for their communion with Him. The Father does not base His love for His household on their gifting or talent or on those who in the world's eyes have so much to offer. But He has delighted to choose the foolish things of the Earth, for in His great and unfathomable wisdom He knew that those who realize that they are the most undeserving will be those who have fully embraced the fact that without His love they are completely unqualified.

"The Father knows that these are the ones who will lean their minds and hearts unquestionably on His Being-those who limp with the scars of his chastening and of their own inadequacy-those who know that within themselves there is no good thing except their hope in Him. These are His champions-and My daughter-these are the prime targets for the onslaught of the enemy that you have just seen."

How will this bible question affect us? Are we prepared to accept the answer to our bible question? Let he who hath an ear adhere to this bible question answer, and begin to draw nearer to God.

* THE FALLING AWAY *
"Many of those that the Father views as His greatest generals and champions have been assailed violently by assignments of the enemy. Each assignment is an assignment of seduction planned by Satan himself. The seducing powers and principalities have but one aim-to seduce My household away from Me and My Father.

"I am not talking about the new believers. I am not talking about the immature or even the young men. I am talking about My leaders, My generals, My priests, those who are well versed in Me. Those who have seen terrible battles, those who have fought with Me in the dark places of the Earth, those who have led thousands upon thousands to Me across the nations, those who have built great churches, those who have brought in generational moves. I am talking about the apostles, the prophets, the pastors, the teachers, the evangelists. And I tell you, My daughter-a great and terrible coldness has been unleashed-a coldness of heart that will imbue and infect even some of My champions' spirits.

"And so brother shall rise up against brother, minister against minister, sons against fathers, husbands against wives, and the great falling away shall begin, but it shall begin in My own household." He was quiet. "And it shall start with those who have been closest to Us."

A great and terrible chill went through my body. "Jesus," I whispered. "How can we survive such an onslaught?"

"The major End-Time assaults are divided into several camps. They are all ruthless strategies of Jezebel, the ultimate seducer and the releaser of the End-Time seducing spirits. The first major seduction of My children will be in the area of morality-the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes, but seduction is not just confined to My children's morality. Satan's primary goal is to seduce My children away from the Father.

"One of Satan's most lethal weapons against My ministers is another of Jezebel's strongholds-the pride of life, pride and self-righteousness. Jezebel's third great onslaught will be in the area of discouragement. This is the same weapon used against My servant Elijah, and indeed, many of My servants throughout the ages. Great discouragement, in turn, leading to strong delusion and finally, that of the great blinding."

Will the answer to our bible question cause us to study the Word of God? We need to be on our guard as the bible question we have is not being answered in the lives of many. Pray for your loved ones to receive the answer to their bible question so the enemy won't be able to snatch them away.

* THE GREAT BLINDING *
"The great blinding is a blinding of My children's hearts and of their minds that has caused them to dwell in and to live for all that which is the temporal-instead of that which is eternal.

"The world has been caught up in the great blinding to such a degree that they cannot see beyond that which they can see and touch and sense. The spirit of the world has them in its grasp, and the love of the Father is not in them. I have grieved as I have watched My saints fall prey to this same spirit. As the spirit of the world has entangled them, their minds and hearts have become blinded with the deceptions of all that is temporal. They have started to live and to desire that which brings the reward and the praise of man in the kingdom of Earth.

"But My Kingdom is not of this world, My child. And how I grieve, for few there are today that truly know and understand this saying. For the ways of My Kingdom are foolish to the temporal world, and so it is that in this last age many of My servants have been seduced by the spirit of the world and have suffered a great and terrible blinding. For they live more-Oh far more for what is counted and recorded in the books of man and of Earth than for that which is recorded in the books of Heaven. And that which is recorded and that counts for so much on Earth counts often for so little in My courts. For so many of My children still live for the praises and accolades and the rewards of men.

"So many of My ministers still live for that which Heaven counts as hay and as wood and what shall be burnt up in an instant as stubble when they stand before My judgment seat.

"And so I grieve with a great grieving-for My children spend their resources and the resources of My Kingdom on that which is seen and that lasts but for a moment-but eternity is built on the unseen and on the souls of men and of women. For they have been blinded with a great and terrible blinding-a blinding by the spirit of the world-but the world will perish and will pass away, but he who does the will and the purposes of My Father shall live forever

Are we going to allow this bible question answer destroy us? Blindness is a bible question answer that we see happening around us all over the place. Our churches are not equipped to follow the bible question answer about who really is blind!

* PRIDE AND SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS *
"I have watched as some of My children have fallen morally. But My anger has been stirred as I have seen some of My ministers-those of My own household-turn, and in their closets, pat themselves on the back and say like the Pharisees: ‘Thank You, Lord, I am not like they. I am glad I am not as they, for they are weak, and surely I am strong and would never do such a thing that would make My Master ashamed.' And I tell you, My child," and He was greatly pained, "I tell you that I have seen My children-these My ministers-sit in their homes and at their church banquets, gossiping about these fallen ones. I have seen them expose their sin, expose their nakedness and say: ‘This is a terrible damage to the Gospel'-as if in shock and as in horror-but these have themselves fallen victim to the pride of life. And I am grieved with a great grieving.

"For indeed pride says, ‘It is by my own hand and by my own sufficiency that I keep the law.' And self-righteousness despises the weaker and encourages itself in its own strength to keep. But I tell you that in these coming days, all that is not rooted in dependence upon Me and My Father and upon My grace shall fall. And even as Satan fell, so I grieve for some of My called-out ones. For they lean on their own understanding, they lean on their own integrity, they lean on their own morality, they lean on their own proficiency and they pride themselves that they are not weak like other men. But I tell you that even as Satan fell from beholding himself as greater, so many of these, My elect, shall fall from beholding themselves instead of beholding Me.

"And so when pride takes root in some of My servants, with it shall come a deadly self-righteousness and a critical, denigrating spirit as they compare themselves to others, and they shall see the faults and the failings and the specks in their companions' and their colleagues' and their leaders' eyes, and yet they shall completely ignore the beam in their own. And the terrible coldness talked about in My Word shall grip their hearts, and they shall not even realize that they have fallen away, for they shall be so sure of themselves and their boasting in Me.

You hypocrite, first get the beam of timber out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the tiny particle out of your brother's eye.
Matthew 7:5, amp

"Tell My ministers to check their hearts, lest Satan seduce them away from their childlike trust and dependence on Me."

* DISCOURAGEMENT AND STRONG DELUSION *
"Even in the generation that preceded this present Church Age, some of My greatest servants succumbed to discouragement, and this led in turn to strong delusion. The enemy will do his utmost at this time to discourage and impede and roadblock My purposes and My plans. And to those whose limbs grow too weary, whose hearts grow faint with weariness, he will start to cloud their vision." Jesus' tone was urgent.

"And visions that were birthed in power and in clarity and in the vigor of the Holy Spirit will seem to become clouded. Legions of satanic voices have been unleashed, and the voice of the enemy will whisper doubt and confusion and unbelief to the weary soul. If seriously entertained, these satanic whisperings shall gain a foothold in the hearts and minds of some of My servants, and they shall think to themselves: I have sowed and there is no reaping. There is no harvest. I have labored for nought, for the fruit is so little.

"So know, My child, to warn My servants that when they hear these voices, to immediately discard them, not even to entertain such a train of thought, for it is a train of thought carefully strategized by the legions of the damned with intent to discourage and to delude even the elect. For these voices will question My faithfulness. These voices will question My Word. These voices have one intent, to seduce My children away from My Father.

"When Elijah ran from Jezebel in the wilderness, he had just slain all the prophets of Baal with the sword. He had seen My mighty hand of deliverance. But on receiving Jezebel's message, he ran for his life. And in these times, many of My servants who are mightily called and anointed by Me for the work in My End-Time moves have received a message from this same spirit of Jezebel that was at work against My prophet Elijah. And that message is the same today as it was then: ‘So let the gods do to me, and more also if I make not your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow.'

"And so My servants who have become weary of the battle and of standing against the darkness and warring in the high places of the Earth have become afraid and arisen and have run for their lives and cried out to Me as Elijah did: ‘It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life.'"

Jesus sighed, but His sigh was not of exasperation, but filled with a deep concern and compassion
"My Father and I have heard the cry of Our servants. My body has not understood the depth of discouragement which has gripped their souls." He hesitated.

"I have watched from Heaven as some of My servants became weary in well-doing, and because of the tremendous opposition and discouragements of the soul, they fell to discouragement, pride and eventually to strong delusions."

I could feel the Lord's hurt. "I have loved these men. They loved Me for many, many years with a pure heart, but they fell into Jezebel's snare and were deceived.

"Many of My servants today face the same pitfalls. Many have served Us day by day in the hidden places of service, unseen by man but known of Me. Many of them have poured out their lives and their substance for the sake of the Gospel and for My Kingdom, but they have seen little fruit. Some have done mighty exploits, some have faithfully served day by day. But many, so many, have become weary and are ready to faint.

"For Jezebel has sent her message to them saying: ‘I will make your life as one of them (slain by the sword tomorrow).' And so the Father of Lies has sown seeds of deception in My servants' souls-questioning their faithfulness, questioning My protection-that My servants have began to doubt My very hand upon their lives. And they have become depressed and dismayed and lost their purpose that once was so clear, and like Elijah, they cry out: ‘And I only, I am left, and the enemy seeks my life to take it away.'

"Many of these ones in the past years have given themselves to activity rather than to intimate fellowship with Me. It is essential that in this season that they take time out and draw aside to Me in intimacy in My presence so that they can find refreshing.

"This assignment is far more deadly to those who are called to do as Martha than those who sit like Mary. Many of these have great administrative gifts; they are ably equipped to do, they are equipped to run ministries, equipped to run churches, equipped to run businesses. Others have become so caught up in the activity of ministering to others that they have been caught up in the activity of serving and have lost intimacy with Me and have become depleted.

"The more intensely discouraged that My servants become, the more they have leaned on natural, carnal methods to change their circumstance and have become spiritually depleted. This discouragement in turn has kept them away from My face and My presence where they would find My supernatural encouragement, strength, fortitude and divine strategy to unlock their circumstances.

"Tell them they must draw unto Me. I am their lifegiver. I am their encourager. I am their anchor. I am their sustenance. That I would allure these My children to Myself and gently, as My angel spoke to Elijah, say: Child, arise and eat. Draw aside and replenish yourself. Guard your minds and hearts from the father of all lies and deceiver of your souls."

The woman was robed in purple and scarlet and bedecked with gold, precious stones, and pearls, [and she was] holding in her hand a golden cup full of the accursed offenses and the filth of her lewdness and vice. And on her forehead there was inscribed a name of mystery [with a secret symbolic meaning]: Babylon the great, the mother of prostitutes (idolatresses) and of the filth and atrocities and abominations of the earth. I also saw that the woman was drunk, [drunk] with the blood of the saints (God's people) and the blood of the martyrs [who witnessed] for Jesus.

And when I saw her, I was utterly amazed and wondered greatly.
Revelation 17:4-6, amp

* SEDUCTION, LUST AND JEZEBEL *
"This assignment is more easily discerned but far more lethal in its outward consequences, for it devours its prey. The intense seduction lures My children into the enticement of sin but eventually leaves them stripped of their ministry, calling, reputation and sometimes even their relationship with Myself and the Father and their eternal salvation." He sighed deeply.

"The Father knows that these very ones were drawn to Him because they knew the very weakness of their own souls-like the woman whose story I promised would be told eternally."
I spoke. "The woman who washed your feet?"

Jesus smiled tenderly. "Those who have been forgiven much love much. In this last generation many came to Us from the greatest ensnarements and bondages. Once they saw Our great love for them, they became Our greatest champions and bondservants, for their gratitude for receiving such a redemption was unfathomable.

"These are the ones who have become close and tender with Me-who would follow Me unto death."

"But if they would follow you unto death, Lord Jesus-and they hear your voice-then how could they fall to seducing spirits?" I asked, that chill gripping me again, sensing the answer.

"Every weakness that these ones experienced in their lives..." His expression was so grave, "...every fissure, each wound, each broken place that lies unhealed-these satanic powers and principalities and demons shall now target.

"Many, many of My children did not receive healing of their minds, emotions and souls in this last generation. And because they have lived in the household of God for years, many do not even realize that these scarred places exist.

"These last days' assignments have been meticulously strategized, and that is the very strength of their evil-they have been tailor-made to each of My champions. They know the urgent, driving, unmet needs of the soul: the generational bondages of each individual called by Me to impact this generation; the lack of nurturing; the deep unhealed rejections and hurts of the emotions; the fatherlessness; the need for affirmation; the desire to belong; the deep isolations-all of which when not met in Me-now have laid the perfect snare for the assignments of the enemy.

"Some of My champions have experienced a violent, satanic assailing against their minds. Any thought not taken captive shall be a thought that can take violent root in their soul to lead to ensnarement. Anything from their past that has been dealt with by their own strength and not by My Spirit shall become a snare to them and can leave them vulnerable to the enemy of their souls. Any habit not ruthlessly dealt with and put to the cross, when assigned with the searing heat of temptation, will breed and rapidly multiply."

Jesus continued, "In this past age Jezebel has translated itself into many different forms, but one of her primary rules in this present age is her amalgamation with Babylon, the spirit of the world and lust. Lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life. Jezebel rules electronic media-film, television, advertising-she is the epitome of seduction in this last age. She was Delilah, Salome, Herodias. She rules pornography, adultery, lasciviousness, homosexuality, pride, power, separation, divorce, ambition and every perversion and sin of the flesh known to mankind. She tantalizes, packages sin, sells it and then debases and exposes her victims before killing. Her primary targets in this last Church Age are My ministers, both men and women."

I felt the icy chill once more. Well I knew the depth of hatred Jezebel holds for God's bondservants.

"Multitudes of My ministers today struggle with pornography. Multitudes of My ministers struggle now with lust on a daily basis. Multitudes are struggling against a terrible coldness of heart within their marriages and families.

"Many came out of a deeply sinful lifestyle or out of deep-rooted rejections, and as was the way in this past generation, far too many of My children were not discipled effectively and did not receive effective healing in the areas that propelled them into that habitual sin. Also, especially among My leaders in this past generation, My Church has been so embroiled in self-righteousness that if one of My children has cried for help in an area of failure, many times they have been ostracized, isolated and had their confidence betrayed. This has led to My ministers leading double lives, having a public face for their congregations whilst crying out to Me in their bedchambers because they hate what they have become. Yet they know that many will deal treacherously with them if they admit their need for help. Jezebel knows this full well, and it is one of her most effective strategies. For once the champion is isolated from real help, the seducing spirits are unleashed, and time after time, My child falls into adultery, fornication, homosexuality, pornography, separation and divorce. And how I and My Father grieve. For well Lucifer knows that it is often those who love us and who have hungered for Our presence who have often been the most damaged in their past-and now Satan targets the damaged places. Warn them. Warn them to guard against the great deceiver of their souls. For as Satan came to Me in the wilderness, he intends to do now to those who follow Me, who lead others-to tempt-to lure-for in this most violent of testings, even My most elect shall fall."

He hesitated, and a great pain seemed to cloud His countenance. And I sensed that He was thinking about one whom I knew that He loved greatly who had been caught even that month in a prevailing sin. And I thought of the ones in this past year who had fallen in ways that were still politically acceptable to us in the household of God-but my thoughts were not with those‚ but rather with those, so many of late, who had fallen morally-not acceptable-and who had lost or taken time out from their ministries.

And as I looked into Jesus' eyes, I knew that these were the ones He grieved for. For well He knew how they loved Him. In fact, some loved Him more, much more than any others. And well He knew how they must have wrestled in the still, quiet hours of the early morning against sin. But because the assignments of hell had been so meticulously crafted and because Lucifer knew so well that the politics of the Church so often ensured isolation and silence in struggling with sin, one by one they had fallen to the brokenness and fissures in their own souls.

And as He looked at me, I felt that suddenly I knew how He had looked upon that rich young man. And so I prayed for all of us who had been targeted by the enemy, to be assailed in this last End Time, that even in the tumult and the fierce heat of the testings and trials and temptations, we would draw on His strength that would take us through the eye of the needle to that last lap of the narrow way that we may be counted as conquerors.

"Lord Jesus, how can we stand?" I whispered.

"There is only one way to survive the onslaught, My child." His voice was so soft. "Firstly, to repent of any and of all lukewarmness and backsliding in your heart and to reignite and maintain zealously your first love for Me. Secondly, to keep yourself from all idols and remain fervent in the Spirit, which is the result of true fellowship in Spirit and in truth with Myself and the Father and of feeding on My Word until My Words are Spirit and Life to you." He hesitated, "And finally, the cross. The deception in every temptation is that which caused Adam to lead billions of souls into sin-that of selfishness. Temptation promises that which self desires. When My children desire the promises of sin more than they desire Me-they will fall.

"The greatest weapon to survive the onslaught is for My children to take up their cross and to follow Me. To take up the cross daily and to die to everything in their souls and their mind that opposes My truth. To let go of that lower life that is the flesh and continually mortify their minds and bodies and to put to death the deeds of the flesh. My children have forgotten the power of the cross. They have thought that to die once is sufficient, but the spirit of the world, with its carnality and selfishness, loosed upon this present generation is so strong in these evil days-that it is only in a continual, daily crucifying of their flesh that they will indeed be able to withstand temptation.

"Remember it is written, ‘For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning.'

Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace...that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need, [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].
Hebrews 4:16, amp

"Even when you feel you are falling into the very pit of hell itself, even when it seems as if you are clinging to Me and to My Father and to My Word and its principles by a thread-when you feel that hell is sucking you in-it is then that you must cry out to Me. Cry out to My Father. Cry out Our name, and in that very second, We will come to you and rescue you. We will draw you in and protect you from every wile of the Evil One.

"I said I will never forsake you, and this is true. Even when you are in the heat of temptation-still if you cry out to Me-I will hear you.

"Speak My Word, and I, the Living Word, will come to your aid and accomplish that which I have promised.

"Now, warn My children. My Father's heart is grieved with a terrible grieving. Warn My beloved-that many would be saved out of the fowler's snare-that even those in the deepest mire might cry out to Me and find their way home.

"Beloved children"-Jesus' voice was so tender, and somehow I knew that He was speaking to all who had been ensnared who eventually would read these words-"there is forgiveness, beloved. There is deliverance. There is restoration." And then He turned and smiled-the smile of heaven that seemed to light up the whole world in its wake. "THERE IS HOPE."
