Strike one is sin. Strike two is lies.

Too Many People are Saying, “God is not talking to Me”. When I make a declaration or declare a thing, My Word is truth.

6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? 7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. Amos 3:6-7 (KJV)

8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. 9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. Isaiah 42:8-9 (KJV)

What I speak to one, I speak to all. How can you say, “God is not talking to me?” Lies in the ears of the righteous are a swelling. Lies and deceit shall not be in My house. Children lies are unprofitable.

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. Psalm 101:7 (KJV)

So many people think I AM some flurry creature flying the sky looking for who is good or bad. Don’t mistake Me for your fantasy. Is Santa Claus in the Bible? Does he have majesty and honor? Can he hold a mountain or measure water in his hand? Can you smell a lie?

Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. 1 Chronicles 29:11 (KJV)

Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? Isaiah 40:12 (KJV)

Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together. Isaiah 48:13 (KJV)

Decay exists right in the center of every lie. Pull apart a good – looking picture when it does not seem right – investigate. Truth has no legs for which it has to flee. Truth stands to the end of things.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Ephesians 6:13-15 (KJV)  

Anywhere lies appear expect decay and rottenness. Look for the stench in lies it surely has a smell. My people are drowning not because of water but by the sweeping sea of lies.

Man has made himself a god that requires worship and thinks less of Me. I AM pulling down false idols calling themselves kings and rulers of nations.

Children you have worship stealers among you in My house and in the world using My name. Do not bow down to these idol gods.

 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: Exodus 34:14 

And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven: 23 And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart: 1 Kings 8:22 

I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: Isaiah 45:5 

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 (KJV)

I see many buildings and institutions standing open in My name. People dance and prance and call it My house. They are heifers and bulls out to pasture and this shall be their home.

A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Mark 3:25

And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. Luke 11:17

But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. Psalm 127:1 

24 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king: 25 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. Daniel 4:24-25 (KJV)

I AM unplugging microphones. I AM pulling down stages from people who are lying by their lifestyles. These ones say Lord-Lord but their hearts are far from Me. And I will say, “Depart from Me for I know you not”.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 1 Corinthians 13:1 (KJV)

24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: 26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. Luke 13:24-28 (KJV)

I see church leaders. I hear announcements promoting events and happenings that do not glorify My Name. I AM shutting these venues and houses of entertainment down.

My nostrils fill with the stench of un-holiness. A word of warning, no one will come to your events and gatherings when I wave My hand. People come back to the Old Landmark. Come back to The House of Prayer. For My House shall be called a House of Prayer among all nations.

And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. Mark 11:17 (KJV)

13 And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; 16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise. 17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. John 2:13-17 (KJV)

Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; Acts 3:19 (KJV)

I will strike your resources and your funnel. Your cup shall run dry. Then you will begin to say, “Fill my cup Lord until it overflows. But the fillings you shall require are mercy and truth, righteousness and forgiveness.

The pendulant swings both ways toward justice and injustice. Begin to say,

“1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee”. Psalm 51:1-13 (KJV).

I AM calling the church to repent because you have made money your lord and god. I see that you are using money to legislate affairs of the church. Are you trying to destroy My foundation of the church?

16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:16-18 (KJV)

Harden not your heart in the day of provocation. Hear My voice for this is a word concerning your future judgment. Lay down your weapons of carnality they shall not prosper. This is the solemn word of the Lord declared in your hearing today.

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. Hebrews 3:8

• Negative Provocation:

The New Testament also warns against provoking others to anger, especially children by parents. Ephesians 6:4 advises fathers not to provoke their children to wrath. 

• Positive Provocation:

In contrast, the concept of “provoking to love and good works” is introduced in Hebrews 10:24, suggesting that believers should encourage each other towards positive actions and spiritual growth. 

• Jesus and the Pharisees:

The Pharisees frequently tried to provoke Jesus with challenging questions and accusations. 

• Consequences:

Provocation can lead to strained relationships, spiritual consequences, and community discord. 

My Thoughts

Did God call us to have Church but be the Church He established?

I am seeing so many worldly workshops in the church. Lord, have we forgotten true Holiness?

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. 1 Chronicles 16:29 (KJV)

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Hebrews 12:14 (KJV)

The Lord is asking us to see what He sees going on in His house. Tradition and religion are strangling true Holiness and worship. Most of all the Lord is voicing His displeasure about man-made Church.

How do you see the Church stealing from the Lord? I am going to leave this space blank.

King David desired to build the House of God. He was not permitted because of sin. However, David put so much passion in supplying needed merchandise.

Through the reign of King David and King Solomon God’s house was perfectly furnished. I am sure their homes looked nice but God’s house stood out.

It breaks my heart to see fundraiser and altar calls for money and none of it goes toward building the Kingdom of God.

If you see something say something. God does hold us accountable for what we see. Are we guilty by association because we do not stand up for true Holiness?

Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. James 4:17 (KJV)

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7 (KJV)
