Many will fall by the sword at this given time. Those whose minds are not stayed on Me are in for a rude awakening. I have spoken so often of this time of judgment on those who claim to be one of mine and now that day is upon them.

Who am I that I should spare the rod for some and chasten severely others? Does not My Word say I chasten those I love? I have been about My business and I am culling out those who are refusing to give all to Me and come before Me with a humble and contrite heart.

The church must submit themselves to Me or be forever lost. Harsh? I dare say not. I have been pleading and begging for quite some time now for all to bow their knees to the King of Kings; but they are refusing, so I am left with no other choice.

 
“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” (Revelation 3:19-20, NKJV)

“You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: “My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.” If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?” (Hebrews 12:4-7)

“For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.” (Isaiah 57:15)
