REVELATION TO THE CHURCH
Then Jonah continued, “When you fall short of the Lord’s grace and sin
entangles you, it is hard for you to come to Him. You must learn to
always run to the Lord at such times, not away from Him. When you go
through that door, you will enter the times when the Lord’s power and
glory will be released on the earth such as He has not done since the
beginning of time. All of heaven has
been waiting for the things that you are about to see. It will also be
the time of the greatest darkness. You cannot endure either the glory or
the darkness without His grace. You will not walk in His ways without
coming to Him daily. You must not only seek His presence, but you must
abide in His presence continually.
“Those who have tried to
follow Him by just seeking Him once a week in a church service while
they spend the rest of the week seeking the world will soon fall away.
Those who call upon His name thinking that He is their servant also will
soon fall away. He is the Lord of all and all will soon know this!
First, His own people must know it, so the judgment is going to begin
with His own household.
“It is presumption to only call upon
the Lord when you want something. You should call on Him to ask what He
wants, not what you want. Many of those who have some faith also have
great presumption; the line between the two can be very thin. When God’s
judgments come to His own household, His people will learn the
difference between faith and presumption. Those who try to do His work
without Him will fall away. Many have faith in the Lord, but only know
Him from a distance. These do great works in His name, but He does not
know them. Those who have known Him from afar will soon weep over their
folly.
“God does not exist for the sake of His house—His house
exists for Him. In His patience, He has been waiting outside of His own
house, knocking, calling, but few have opened to him. Those who hear the
Lord’s voice and open to Him will sit with Him at His table. They will
also sit with Him on His throne, and they will see the world as He sees
it. Presumption cannot sit with Him at His table, nor on His throne.
Presumption is the pride that caused the first fall, and all of the
darkness and evil that are about to be reaped on the earth have come
because of it.
“When Satan saw God’s glory, he turned to the
way of presumption. Satan dwelt in His presence and still turned from
Him. This is the greatest danger for those who see His glory and know
His presence. Do not become presumptuous because of what you have seen.
Never become proud because of your visions: This will always lead to a
fall.”
