AWAKE, ARISE, AND TRIUMPH

WHAT HAS THE CHURCH CHOSEN – LIFE OR DEATH?
SPECIAL PROPHETIC PUBLICATION
During my time before the Lord this morning He was talking to me about several things. I caution you not to think I am on a rant, this is of utmost importance, it is the Lord speaking to us all. Some of it will be coming forth at the Wednesday Night Bible Study soon. Please prayerfully consider joining us, come fully expecting to find awesome answers and experience the flow of the Anointing for whatever you need. Pertinent to this special publication is the new COVID-19 mandates and the consequences that are at hand due to some of His children’s response to prior governmental mandates. The Lord of course wants everyone to love Him, be a part of the Kingdom of God. However, His primary concern is with His own children and what they are doing than with what the devil’s children are doing. Many Churches have been a burden, a curse to the government and their communities rather than being an example, community leaders, and a blessing. Disobeying the law is sin. The only exception to this is when the government asks us to do things contrary to Scripture. This has not happened in the State of Maine. In that case the Lord will protect us and bring justice. There are wonderful examples of this in Scripture.
Perhaps you have not seen a connection between the response of Church leaders and congregants alike and the current electoral mess. Well, God has. In the end this election will turn out exactly as God has said through His Prophets. Resist fear and do not believe any words other than those of God. When we are in disobedience to the governing authority which is sin, we can only expect stealing, killing, and destroying in our lives plus our prayers in other areas no matter how sincere are not heard (legal term, to have standing). One cannot express hatred for their fellow man by not wearing a mask, ignoring social distancing when possible, and not follow attendance levels while at the same time expecting God’s protection and abundant blessings. A few days ago, with a very significant surge in COVID-19 cases the indoor gathering levels were reduced back to 50 with social distancing and face mask use when social distancing could not be maintained. As surge has continued involving many Churches, Gov. Mills (Maine Governor) strengthened the mask mandate. Here is a report in a local newspaper.
Maine’s governor issued an executive order Thursday requiring people to wear face coverings in public setting regardless of their ability to maintain physical distance from others. “Protect your family. Protect a health care worker. Protect the elderly. Wear your face covering. Save lives. It is that simple,” Mills said.
This order basically says that one cannot take off the face covering even when social distancing is possible. This is a legal and enforceable Executive Order, mandate, order, will some religious leaders treat this with the same disregard as prior orders? I can tell you without a shred of question, the Lord is far from pleased. His people have been responding on an emotional, rebellious level (pulpit and pew alike) and not based on the leadership of the inner witness and certainly not in line with Scripture. Humility and submission are Godly traits. All of this was part of my conversation with God this morning. I hope that you see as I did, and receive this with the seriousness that God has attached to it. Many are playing with fire as He recently told me and many will be burned and some even perish. Now, here is the bottom line for us all to give great heed to.
Luke 3:9 (KJV)
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
The trees here are individual persons. Choose repentance.
Genesis 4:7 (KJV)
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
Will we choose to rule over sin or like Cain give in to sin? Chose doing right (righteous, God’s way of doing) and ruling over sin by the Grace of God.
Acts 5:9 (KJV)
9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
How long will some tempt God? Church it is well past time to give full attention to 2 Chronicles 7:14 but better late than never. Repentance is the way out of any mess.
I trust you have clearly heard the voice of our God in this SPECIAL PROPHETIC PUBLICATION.
2 Chronicles 20:20b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Until our next publication, as a Bible Teacher and Prophetic Voice I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus name! Quit asking God to bless you, you are already blessed, you have the Blessing, give Him something to do by the words of your mouth. Once you know the will of God, decree the thing (Job 22:28, Isaiah 45:11, Mark 11:23). (The Blessing is the Holy Spirit) We have left God way to long with nothing to do in our lives.
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
