God, where are You?
“Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.” (1Timothy 4:1-2)
March 2020
Where are you, My child?
Your level of faith in Me has slipped dangerously low because you glance at a scripture in the morning and off you rush to social media, Fox News, or other things to find out what’s going on in the world. How many hours do you spend seeking other things?
Your question to Me reveals that your spirit-man is hungry for scripture. A flippant prayer here and there is not fellowship with Me. You’re not connecting with Me because your affections are for other things. And why aren’t you calling Me Father anymore?
I require FIRST PLACE IN YOUR LIFE, NOT LAST PLACE.
“Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.” (Revelation 2:4)
FEAR REPLACES FAITH
Your question and the fear you have in your heart about the virus situation shows just how far you are slipping backward into the pull of the world. The cares of this world will close in on your inner man and suffocate The Word and “it becomes unfruitful.” (Mark 4:13-20) That’s why you’re anxious and worried and can’t sleep at night. Over and over I hear your thoughts asking where I am and how you don’t understand what is going on.
Let Me ask you this, why has your affection changed toward Me?
Don’t you realize you cannot fulfill your purpose without Me?
Don’t you remember John 15:5?
Without Me, The Word, you can do nothing! There are many unwanted repercussions that can result from this behavior.
You are wondering about why you are not seeing My hand over this land. That’s because you are drifting away from Me, and have been for a long time. You would have known what I am doing if you would study and pray in tongues in the Holy Spirit. That’s where I am ... in your heart.
You continually ignore My call to come to Me.
“…Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:41-42)
Because you’re too busy for Me, your calling/assignment has terribly declined, leaving a vacancy in the grand design of the Kingdom of God on earth. (See Ephesians 4:16)
No one can take your place that I have called you to. All the promises of God are yours, but they are dormant without faith, and faith comes from hearing God’s Word. (Romans 10:17) Without God’s Word, your heart will become hardened and over time bring you into total unbelief and may even affect your eternal salvation. (Hebrews 6:4-6)
And if you persist in going back into the world, you won’t be ready for the rapture. "TEKEL -- you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient.”
(Daniel 5:27)
Read through these Holy Scriptures and let the Word of God convict you to repentance and change your ways.
Then meditate on them and the Who I Am Scriptures.
Hebrews 12:25-29 (NKJV)
“See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, ‘Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.’ Now this, ‘Yet once more,’ indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.”
Hebrews 2:1-4 (NKJV)
“Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?”
Hebrews 10:38 (NKJV)
“Now the just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”
Mark 4:23-24 (NKJV)
“If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.
Joshua 1:8-9 New King James Version (NKJV)
“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
1 John 4:18 (NKJV)
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”
Hebrews 3:7-14 (NKJV)
“Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
‘Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
In the day of trial in the wilderness,
Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,
And saw My works forty years.
Therefore I was angry with that generation,
And said, “They always go astray in their heart,
And they have not known My ways.”
So I swore in My wrath,
“They shall not enter My rest.” ’ ”
“Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called ‘Today,’ lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end …”
This is that…which is “where God is.”
“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16)
What about the virus?
Jesus says:
“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life…Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (See Matthew 6:25-34)

“But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.”
“But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” (Jude 17-21)
