The Time To Come

The Lord spoke this word to me on Tuesday: I am God. I am not mocked. Come before me. Who is worthy to stand? My eyes go to and fro throughout the earth looking for those in whom I may prove myself strong. The nations strive, the earth it trembles. Creation itself groans for redemption. The people are mad, they are lost in confusion. I have handed them over to their own lusts. Who has heard? Who has know from the beginning? I come and I will certainly shake all that can be shaken. The heavens have declared, the earth held not her voice, my servants have spoken, I reign. Be set upon me, you who fear me for I will stop the mouths of them that hate you. I will set a table in the midst of your enemies. I am that I am and I judge a righteous judgment. Let every eye see, let every ear hear, this season ends and sorrow shall be upon the land. In one day shall she fall and none shall help her. Though her cry should reach unto to heaven, yet I will not hearken. I called you did not answer. I sought you out, even in the darkness and desired to make your way strait, but yet you desired another. Your prophets do prophesy falsely, and your pastors commit and abomination before me. My sheep are scattered, the wolves have eaten them up. Woe, woe unto the bloody man in whom I do input iniquity. Upon your hands I find the blood of the innocent and the poor, your eye did not spare the little ones. I come and I will render my judgment to every man. Who shall hide from me? I looked and I beheld him that sought my face, in him my Spirit dwells. Come rest in my my chosen. I shut the door, without there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Isaiah 51

1Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

2Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

3For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

4Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

5My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.

6Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

7Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

8For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

May we always have an ear to hear and a heart to be stayed upon our God. Let us not be weary in our well doing.

Grace and Peace,

Austin
