My children, do not fall into the traps that are set before you. Do not step into the trap of deception that someone else is doing what I have laid upon your heart to do. Do not dismiss a thought just because it seems impossible or silly or irrelevant to anything you are doing or saying. When you get thoughts such as these I want you to come before My very throne room and talk to Me about them.

There is much that is about to take place. There are many things that I have warned you about that would come and not many have heeded My Words. They do not understand the urgency in this hour. They are still playing church and not doing what I have asked.

I am calling you today. I am calling you to get down on your knees and pray. I am calling you to intercede for those things that I have laid upon your heart. I am asking you to be in tune to Me as you go about your day. And as I lay things upon you, just pause for a moment and pray. Speak to Me about what it is so that you know what to do with it. This is very vital to your survival in Me and what is about to come.

You are taking too lightly the things of Me. You are not going in as deep as I have been calling you to come. You are still watching things that are not glorifying Me. You are looking at things thinking they are good but are not asking if they line up with My Word.

Do not fall into the false doctrine of those that you have not asked Me if they are of Me. Remember those that I call to shepherd My sheep are not always perfect. At some point you may find yourself in their position and will understand what I am telling you. You are too hard on them and expect them to be Me. You must not continue into this charade. You must let go of this illusion, lest you fall. Just because they have a place that is beautiful and big and many followers does not mean they are followers of Me nor does it mean they are always right. Remember, My children, all have fallen short of My Glory. It is not their flaws but the fact they get back up and do what I have called them to do. You need to be coming to Me when you are taking in things and asking Me those things you are not sure of instead of jumping to conclusions; good and bad.

You need to quit running here and there seeking advice and confirmation from others of your gut feelings and come to Me. You need to be secured in Me that you hear My voice. For My sheep hear My voice and no other voice will they follow. Too many of My sheep have turned their ears to another shepherd that is leading down a wrong path. Allow My rod to lead you back to My pasture. I have placed you where I want you to be. All you have to do is listen.

Be obedient to what I am asking of you and not thinking “why,” or “it’s too small or big, someone else can do it,” or “it doesn’t matter, or it doesn’t make sense.” I am asking you to just do it. I do not ask you to do things with no purpose. I do not ask you to do things just because I can. I do all things for the purpose of your good and to bring to pass all that I said I would do.

Without your obedience I cannot do what I want to do in your life or use you to bring My will in others’ lives. You must listen to Me. You must pay attention to My voice and follow My voice. You must do what I am asking and laying upon your heart to do. No more procrastinating. No more being lead blindly by those who only speak of the good things. No more being led astray in to a pasture you do not belong in. No more putting off to someone else what I have asked you to do. Time is critical. Obedience is a necessity.

Open your ears and pay attention to what I am saying to you. Do not push Me to the side anymore. Do not fall into the traps of dismissing Me. Do not fall into the trap of putting your eyes on the wrong person. Keep your eyes upon Me. Come to Me and ask the questions and not allowing the enemy to cause confusion in your heart.

Be open to receive all that I have to say. Receive the good and the bad. Know that I have spoken many times and many times you have not listened. I will do and go to any measure to get your attention. It is up to you to listen when I call. I will keep calling until there is no other way. I will not go against your will. I will not continue to keep knocking on a door that you refuse to listen to.

But today I am knocking and asking you to step out and do what I have been laying upon your heart to do. I am asking you to open yourself up to the small and the big and be obedient to all that I ask. I am asking that you intercede and you pray like you have never prayed before.

Too many of you My children are not praying as you ought to. Too many of you are leaving it up to someone else to do this task. This cannot be anymore. I lay it upon you because I have chosen you to do the task. I do expect you to do what I lay upon you to do, without questioning My reasons.

Come into your prayer closets once again. Come and talk to Me and bring before Me those issues that I have given you to face. Come and receive the wisdom and knowledge. Come and receive direction and the plan that I am putting before you. I am waiting to talk to you. Will you come? Will you answer to those things that I have laid upon you to do and pray about or will you continue to dismiss Me? Will you place your eyes upon Me and quit following only those things that are pleasing and good to your ears?

Do not walk into the great deception little ones. It is time to see and know Me. It is time to see that you must know how to come to Me to be able to survive the things ahead. You must know how to come and talk to Me about those things you don’t understand or the teachings that you are not sure of.

Do not be lead astray. Do not ignore the truth. Do not dismiss what I say to you. Do not turn your heads from My voice of My prophets. The times are very dark and the destruction is about to hit. Know My voice. Heed My wooing and My callings. Do not fall into the traps. Keep your eyes upon Me and your ears in tune. Pray My little ones. I am calling you right now to pray.

“I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.” (Romans 16:17-18, NIV)

“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn-bushes, or figs from thistles?” (Matthew 7:15-16)

“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” (1 John 4:1)

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.” (Colossians 2:8)

“For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

“From heaven he made you hear his voice to discipline you. On earth he showed you his great fire, and you heard his words from out of the fire.” (Deuteronomy 4:36)

“Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess. He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be said in the future. But Christ is faithful as a son over God’s house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast. So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert, where your fathers tested and tried me and for forty years saw what I did. That is why I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.’ So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ” See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. As has just been said: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.” Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert? And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed ? So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.” (Hebrews 3)
