Prophetic Word

PROPHETIC WORD GIVEN TO THE CHURCH, (this was recorded as it was spoken out)
Revelation 3:14-21
“My children, I tell you that this morning I am here in your midst. The church that bears this name Laodicea has long since ceased to be in existence. Yet the message goes forth today as timely, as acutely as it did then. My children, I would ask you today you cry out for My presence, cry out for My hand and pleasure. As I look from heaven and behold your assembly, I see those who gather daily and know My presence and My heart, and they know My right hand extended to them. My children, my heart breaks to tell you I see others who only know Me remotely from afar. They give no thought to Me day to day and week to week. Their only purpose in coming here is to show up, to appear righteous before men. My children, I tell you, My eyes see and My ears hear. I see the things that are done in darkness, and I hear the things that are spoken behind closed doors, and I know. My children, I know your deeds. My children, you assemble here week after week expecting, hoping for, longing for, desiring for Me to do something wonderful in your midst. My children, I remind you that even Moses My servant, the most humble man on the face of the earth, cried out, ‘If I have found any favor in Your sight, Lord, show me Your glory.’ And even to Moses I spoke ‘face to face’ yet even he could not look upon My face and live. And Abraham, he was called the friend of God, he beheld My form but not My face that you seek. My children, I tell you I am ready, all of Heaven is ready, to come into this place and to touch this community and surround environs; My children, it has been prophesied, it has been spoken. It is not Me that is holding back this prophecy. My children, it is you, lukewarm, half-devoted, and more in love with the world and with pleasure than with your God. My children, I do not speak with each of you. My Spirit is at this moment going forward to convict hearts. My children, there is a day fixed in Heaven when I am coming and not just to do a miraculous work in this community but also to close the door of salvation for mankind. Many of you are dancing around that day, busy with your lives, going from place to place giving excuses, ‘Lord, tomorrow I’ll have time to be with You; tomorrow I will have time to read the Word, tomorrow I will have time to extend the hand of grace to a neighbor. And you know to whom it is I speak. You have been doing this some of you for weeks and years, and the truth is, no, you will never do this unless today you decide to step off the fence and onto My side, into My Kingdom, to be wholly and fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ, not embarrassed. My children, I tell you the time is short, and tomorrow it will be shorter still. My children, I am ready move in your midst. My children, are you ready to pay the price to have Me move in your midst? That is the question before you today, and all of Heaven is awaiting your answer. There was a time when many disciples followed My Son when He walked this earth and He spoke a hard word and many walked away and shook the dust off their feet and said, ‘Who can listen to this word? It is too difficult’ and they departed. On the night of His betrayal and He asked Peter, James and John, ‘Would you pray with Me one hour?’ and they slept, not once or twice but three times were found sleeping, and the hour of His arrest came, and they could give no answer. My children, I tell you the hour of the betrayal of the world is upon you. The night where the power belongs to the evil one is upon you right now, and I ask you, are you sleeping, are you taking your rest, are the pressures of the world too much for you? I warn you, how will you fare in warfare when you stumble in a time of peace? My children, I tell you I am moving on. This day I tell you, I am about to move on and you must ask yourself are you going to move with Me or stay behind until I am lost from even your memories? My children, today is the day of salvation. I ask you are you saved? Are you secure with Me for all eternity or have you been walking the tightrope teetering left and right, seeing on the one hand My Kingdom, My glory and what you sing about, My pleasures. My children, I have pleasures, and I would extend them to you. Many of you know of them. Some of you only imagine. In My presence is fullness of joy, but many of you find your pleasure and the fullness of your joy in the things of this earth. My children, I tell you I am coming to this community and this church whether you will have Me or not. The question is when I come will you receive Me, and when I come will there be faith found on the earth? My children, I love you, My word is as true to you as it was to the Laodicean church. Those I love I rebuke and discipline. My children, I remind you that it is My kindness that leads you to repentance. It is a kind word and not a harsh word that I give you today. It is because I love you I warn you that the days are short. Those of you who have made a decision day after day to be entangled with the things of this world will not be able to extricate yourselves to follow Me. I caution you, I warn you, and I tell you this day if you have made a conscious decision to live a life of sin, as of this day the clock is running out for you. You must choose this day whom you will serve as Joshua cried out to the nation of Israel, so I cry out to you, ‘You must choose this day whom you will serve.’ Those of you who have walked in adultery, those of you who have walked in stealing, those of you who have walked in lying, those of you who have walked in lust, those of you who have walked in love of the things of the world; as of this day a line is drawn in the sand. Either you will continue in these things or you will step over that line and say, ‘Lord, I leave them behind.’ You must choose as Lot’s wife had to choose to walk face forward toward Me or look back longingly at the things of Sodom. My children, what will it be? Adultery, stealing from Me or from the men of this world? Lying? Bitterness, unforgiveness, judgment? Dishonoring your parents, abandoning your children in their hour of need? My children, I remind you, I know your deeds. I see it all. I see it all. My children, if the salt of the earth has lost its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? If the light of the world has become darkness, how will it shine? Many who were once salty before this world, many of you who were light in a dark place have become tasteless, and must be thrown out. Many of you have chosen to put a bushel basket over your light so the world cannot see the difference between you and the world. And worse, many of you have chosen to walk in sin and have dishonored My glory and My righteousness before the world. This day and this hour and this moment you must choose. There are two back doors in this assembly. For those of you who say this word is too difficult, ‘He does not expect me to be holy and righteous and to love Him with your whole heart, soul and mind’ there is an escape for you. There is no escape from hell. There is no back door out of hell. There is a front door into Heaven and a passage through one way, through the blood of Jesus Christ. My children, you can no longer after this day come into My house with filthy rags, with a sacrifice that is lame and blind and disfigured, and expect that I will receive it. I Myself because of the command and the necessity of My holiness, say to you, either gird your loins with righteousness, with purity, or walk out the back door. You must choose. My children, it is not My desire that any should leave this assembly or sanctuary and be lost. The world will welcome you with open arms and will tell you freely, ‘What in the world were you thinking anyway, trying to worship a God who is invisible, whose voice is inaudible, who covers Himself with light such as cannot be seen and whose mandates and prescriptions are so difficult no one can follow save One?’ The world will receive you with these words. My children, I have a word for you as well. For those of you who choose to stay, who will choose to bend the knee before Me at the altar and say, ‘Lord, I’m guilty; I see my sin is ever before me. Lord, take the coal from the altar and touch my lips. Lord, take the sin from my heart. I am so sorry. I knew better.’ For those of you who will bend the knee, I have a word for you. Welcome! Welcome, my son, my daughter. Enter into the joy of your reward, good and faithful servant. In these minutes that remain, you must choose. Make no mistake, if you do not choose righteousness, you are choosing the back door. If you do not choose holiness, you are choosing the back door. If you are not choosing to love Me with your whole heart, you are choosing the back door, and it will certainly slam on you as you leave. For I tell you, this day is fixed in heaven even as the day came when I gathered Noah and his sons into the ark and I closed the door, I tell you that the door is closing on this fellowship today. Make no mistake, the door is closing on this fellowship today, and either you choose to be inside or you choose to be out. What will it be? You alone must choose. I am standing here with open arms, but you must choose. Choose to come.”
