JESUS WEEPS

Daughter, yes, you weep over the sin in the homes and My Houses, but you could never weep as hard as I weep. My people sit in My houses of Worship, steeped in sin. They live in their houses, spouting off the name of My Son Jesus while living in the ways of the world. All of this is an abomination unto Me.

Weep, yes, I weep over those who say they are mine; but are not. I weep over the lives they drag down into the pit with them. I weep, weep, and weep, but weeping is over. I have come to judge those living a lie and causing others who do not know Me to slip into the abyss with them.

Matthew 23:  15 (NIV2011) “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.

There is no fear of Me in the houses, but they will know who I am, and the fear of Me will come. But it will come with a price. It would have been better to never know of Me. Then to know Me and turn away.

2 Peter 2:  19 – 22 (TLB)  “You aren’t saved by being good,” they say, “so you might as well be bad. Do what you like; be free.” But these very teachers who offer this “freedom” from law are themselves slaves to sin and destruction. For a man is a slave to whatever controls him. 20 And when a person has escaped from the wicked ways of the world by learning about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and then gets tangled up with sin and becomes its slave again, he is worse off than he was before. 21 It would be better if he had never known about Christ at all than to learn of him and then afterwards turn his back on the holy commandments that were given to him. 22 There is an old saying that “A dog comes back to what he has vomited, and a pig is washed only to come back and wallow in the mud again.” That is the way it is with those who turn again to their sin.

Luke 9:  62 (NIV2011) Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”

Luke 19:  41 – 44 (NIV2011)  As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it

42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”
