7/25/11 From The Lord, Our God and Savior - The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy During an Online Fellowship, For The Lord’s Little Flock, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
Thus says The Lord: I have called to the scoffers and to the wicked alike, that they might come forward and declare their evil thoughts, that they might come out from their hiding places and walk openly in their rebellion; and thus they have answered, they have surely come out. Yet of The Called, they have not come out. Indeed, few have rushed forward to embrace Me as I truly am, few have declared their love for Me openly, few have come to Me without condition.
Behold, I had called to them, in page after page I had written to them, offering many gifts; and with arms outstretched, I sought to uphold them and guide them. Yet they refuse My voice and draw back the hand. They have departed from Me in heart and in mind, turning to Me the back, that they may better embrace the world and their own selfish desires without hindrance. And of My prophet, they have treated him as Micaiah[1], for the thoughts of their hearts do always betray them, and by their actions have they shown themselves to be in agreement with the insolent king... My children have forsaken Me! Not one truly seeks to remain in My love! They have all become unprofitable servants; each seeks their own way! And when I send to them a prophet, they despise him on account of his words, which are not his own, treating My words as binding cords about their hands and their feet! For they do dishonor Me, and within their hearts they cease not from their complaint!
Therefore, that from which they seek
To be loosed shall bind them in the Day;
Behold, they shall not be gathered, they shall not escape!...
Until the day comes and is fulfilled when they are truly broken,
When they willingly place themselves upon the altar,
Wherein real freedom comes by sacrifice
And true understanding by letting go...
Behold, in that day I shall burst their bonds asunder,
And free them from the chains of their captivity,
For I AM THE LORD, and I shall not lose one who is Mine!...
ALL shall be delivered in due season!...
Says The Lord.
