10/28/10 From The Lord, Our God and Savior - The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy During an Online Fellowship, For The Lord’s Watchmen, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

Thus says The Lord: My sons, what is a dry tree to he who holds the axe? Yet when the winds pass through and catch the man sleeping, is he not crushed by the weight of the tree? Indeed, what is this forest full of tall trees before Me, standing so tall with roots deeply embedded in the world, blocking always the warmth of the sun at eventide, casting long shadows under which the wicked flock? Are they not left cold, soon standing in darkness? Are they not as those who seek shelter under a tree when the rains descend and the thunder crashes, who meet a quick end when lightning strikes?... So is this people before Me! Says The Lord - A wicked and foolish generation, multitudes of slothful people seeking always the tall tree, taking shelter under branches which have grown far and wide, standing fast in the cold darkness of its shadow, oblivious to the setting of the sun upon this age of men!

Therefore, I am come to cut down every tree which grows where I have not planted; behold, I shall level entire forests! What then shall this field be against the light of the morning sun, after the bitter rains have ended? For My bride is chosen, yes she is chosen, even as I have chosen My watchmen from among those who remain. For their number is set, and these shall be offered before The Father. And they shall rule over all nations, and oppress strong peoples with a word!
Yet you ask within yourselves, “How can this be?!”... Beloved, My ways are not human ways, and My thoughts are not human thoughts. Here is wisdom: If a man can not be overcome by any means, what is he to other men? And if a man can not be moved from his place, not one inch to the left or to the right, what has he become compared with other men?... And what of a man, My servant, who carries Mashiach fully within him? Is he not an island which no man can reach, save I make it possible for him to do so?
Now consider the squirrel and its ways. Does it not live among the trees, running up and down with ease, leaping from branch to branch with skill and grace, perfectly designed for its abode, perfectly made for its purpose? So shall My watchmen be in the Day of The Lord!... Each prepared according to their task, each established according to the word of My mouth, remade according to their service for which they are called, filled according to My strength! FOR I AM THE LORD.

Therefore, again I say to you, all those who seek sanctuary
Under any tree which grows contrary to Me shall be struck down!
And all who take refuge in these man-made houses, whose doctrines
And traditions I hate, shall be crushed beneath the weight of their fallen riches!...

Yet all who seek sanctuary in The Messiah, all who sought refuge
Under the shadow of His healing wings, shall escape!...

Yet those plucked up and replanted shall be set as a high wall against the world,
A strong tower standing firm in the midst of great and mighty men,
Fixed pillars which can not be moved or broken down,
Men of valor[1], in whom I have come to dwell fully, says The Lord.
