Come to Me
November 29,
1979
Now is the time, says the Lord, when the
eyes of the people shall be lifted up unto Me. You shall no longer look to and
fro across the earth seeing the works of men and declaring the wonders he
performs.
For so long you have seen only man in the
events of the earth. It is man whom you have proclaimed as mighty. To man you
have given credit for all the benefits of modern science and technology.
You have lauded the mind of man. You have
praised him. You have even come to the place where, as you look to the future
and as you consider the ills and problems of your earth and your own society,
you have considered how man himself might solve these problems.
But I say to you, My children, you do well
now to repent and to turn your eyes to Me. You do well to say "My answers
lie not in man, but in my God." You do well to realize that the vanity of
your confidence in man will soon be proven, and that which you have come to
trust in will soon crumble.
It is not long, My children, until only
those who trust in Me will stand. Fear, worry and defeat will drag down and
crush all who trust in anything but Me. I am the Rock which is not shaken.
I am your Security. I am your Strength,
your Hope, your Provision in every need. Though all around you should crumple
and fall, all who trust in Me and walk in My ways will stand.
And I say to you, your standing is not for
your sake alone! Your standing is a witness and a light to those yet in the
dark. Many will come to know Me as you stand, for they will know it is I who
have enabled you to stand. And in your standing, and in their standing, I will
have glory!
Will you, my children - - will you turn to Me
and forsake all else that you trust in? Will you lay aside all other gods, giving
to Me the place in your heart which you have been giving to man - - to his
sciences, technologies and doctrines? Will you forsake - - will you flee from
all that you have trusted in and look to Me alone?
If you will, you can picture yourself
standing firm and unharmed in the midst of destruction and rubble. If you will
not, you will simply become part of the rubble.
These things which I say to you are not new
things. I say today what I said to you through the men of old. But you have
forgotten and you must be reminded. Some will hear and will stand firm. Others
will ignore My word and will crumple as the ungodly.
Now is the time to decide. Choice, with its
eternal destiny, is in your hands. You may say, "But I will wait until
destruction is here, to abandon all and follow God with my whole heart."
But I say to you, destruction is already upon you. It is creeping into your
society. It is spreading upon the earth as a fog. Many will wait, and when they
awaken to the realization of the destruction of all they trust in, they will be
weak and fear will grip their hearts and they will hardly be able to come to
Me.
I say to you again, now is the time to
decide. While it is yet day, and while light is with you, come to Me, for the
darkness and the night are approaching.
Rev. 3:13
