I am that I am. I sustain you, I keep you, formed for my pleasure. Are not all things done in their season? I make all that is mine beautiful in their time. The trial of your faith, will you stand or will you fall? Have faith in me and trust in all that I have shown you. Line upon line, precept upon precept. I make your way strait. Do not doubt, do not fear. Now is the time. Do not sleep but watch for I come quickly. Who has said in their hearts that I delay? Foolish man, I will come in the hour you are not aware, and I will rend from your hands all that I have given you, and your house shall be left unto you desolate. I cry yet who has heard? I speak yet who will hear my words? Draw near, have faith. I know your trials, I see your end. Endure. My way is the only way. The way to have refuge from the storm, the way of peace and safety. Speak my words for now is that season that I would have you to speak. Know and have faith. Many will resist you, but I will be with you and they shall not prevail.
Jeremiah23
16Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
19Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
21I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
24Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
25I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
27Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
28The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
29Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
The Lord stirred me in all of Jeremiah 23 but these are the parts that really stuck out to me. Also while in prayer the Lord said that now is the season for storms. Major storms and more than one. I know in times past that the Lord has delayed, or it seems as though for a season judgment was held back. But the Lord said that this season will be one of judgment. To them who have an ear to hear: Don't hold back and do not delay. The time come quickly this season of peace passes and judgment will be poured out upon the earth.
Grace and peace,
Austin

Amen Austin,
As the Holy Spirit brings to mind for understanding these scriptures;
Jeremiah 23:20 (Written more than 2600 years ago) The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed (the end of tribulation), and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days (we are in the last minute before this anger is poured out) you shall consider it perfectly.
21I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
27Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal (false gods).
28The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
What is the chaff to the wheat?
When we consider things "perfectly" or if you will, come to understanding through the Holy Spirit by "judging" what we see in truth, we can see the error/folly of man/false religion. We, who have submitted ourselves to the Holy Spirit, by the grace and mercy of God, know the righteous anger of God toward the blind who lead the blind.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
We who find ourselves in this position of understanding, must realize the trial of our faith is in: Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Hense the warning/instruction in Austin's word, "I know your trials, I see your end. Endure. My way is the only way. The way to have refuge from the storm, the way of peace and safety". Is the same warning written in Galtians 6:9... let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
The Lord repeats His words of warning and instruction written in
Isaiah 28:7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
8For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.
9Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk (not babies in understanding), and drawn from the breasts.
10 (Philippians 2:12...work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.)For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
Its all there in God's word, the warnings, the time frame, what we should be seeing by understanding truth revealed by the Holy Spirit.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
It is up to us to believe, or have faith, in that pleasing God, and die to ourselves, and act in "Holy Perfection", that we may be found worthy to escape the wrath to come.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
What is the chaff to the wheat?
