Today is April 18, 2024, and after my quiet time this morning, the first thing on my to-do list today was to transcribe a journal entry from day 1435. I began numbering the days after the shekinah glory of the Lord descended on me, which lasted for ten days in March 2019. About two months after my encounter, the Lord began speaking to me about future events and has continued to do so. During the last five years, the theme of the Lord’s words has been consistent and has not changed. He has said if we do not repent as a nation, he, in his goodness and love, will bring judgment on our land. In reading the second and third chapters of Jeremiah this morning, I could not help but think about the parallels of the times. As God brought judgment on Israel, he will bring judgment on the United States. We have forgotten God. In Jeremiah 2:32b, he says, “Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number.” We have sought evil, not goodness. Our gods are idols of money, things, power, and status. Jeremiah 2:11-12 says, “Has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.) But my people have changed their glory for worthless idols. Be appalled at this, O heavens, and shudder with great horror” declares the Lord.” God has often told me, “Your country as you know it is no more.” And God, in his love, will bring judgment on our land, but it will not last forever. Jeremiah 3:11 says, “I will frown on you no longer, for I am merciful, declares the Lord. I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your guilt.” On the 13 th of February 2023, during my quiet time, the Lord spoke to me and here is what he said, “I have heard your praise. My courts sing my praise as you sing my praise. I, the Lord God, am worthy of all praise. A man desires to prophesy, but does he listen to my voice when I speak? Do the people listen to the words I give them? No, they laugh and mock, refusing to believe words so grand, words full of wonder and truth from the Lord on High. Those who do not listen will perish—the folly of their unfaithfulness is their downfall. Why do my people not listen? Why do my teachers not speak against the evil before them? Why do they not cast it to the pit by the mighty name of the Lord God, Jesus, on high? Their ignorance will be called out; their leaders will be held accountable for their lack of faithfulness to the truth of my word. My word, the word of Almighty God, has been polluted, distorted, cast aside, and thrown into the dung heap. My heart weeps. I have no choice. I, the Lord, must act. I will lay waste to the idols man has worshiped, to the cities built in honor of themselves. Parents have not told their children. Such is the way of wickedness. Such is the way that fools follow the foolhardy. Parents will be held accountable for their children; they will be held accountable for themselves. I, the Lord, made them. I, the Lord, made all things to bring honor and glory to me, to have my creation sing of my goodness and faithfulness. I, the Lord, did this for the fellowship of man. I, the Lord, made all that is, the stars, the heavens, and all that is in them to bring me glory, for man to see that there is one greater than he. I have healed the sick in my faithfulness. I have pulled man from the pit of death in my faithfulness, in the love I have for every man and creature I have created. Has man marveled at my wonder? Do they see the mighty works of my hand and know that one exists greater than them? No! They have squandered my faithfulness for the lusts of the flesh, for the temporary pleasures born of the evil one. Eyes have been blinded in numbers unseen for all creation. Yet I, the Lord, patiently wait for man to look to me, to look to the love and faithfulness that created them. But they look not. They look upon themselves with wonder at the things they have created with the hands I have given them. They have shouted their praise, not praise to the Lord. When cities fall, and the earth has washed away under their feet, will they cry out to me? O, they will cry out. They will cry out and curse the God of judgment, the God who has brought calamity to their land. They will raise their hand as it falls to the depths of the earth, never to be raised again. This is the thing I, the Lord, must do. Can wickedness exist with holiness? My cloak will not be stained with the ignorance of the wicked. I, the Lord, will not have that. I, the Lord, deserve none of it. But I, the Lord, will hear those whose hearts cry to me in repentance. Those whose eyes see what their pride has brought them, why their arrogance has rested pain on their doorstep. They will cry out to me, and I will listen, for I am a good God. I, the Lord, will gather them to my bosom and protect them. I, the Lord, will shield them under my wing as disaster unseen falls upon the land. Cities will burn, and houses will crumble; herds and flocks will hunger and thirst, looking for land to graze and water not found. My people, young and old, will understand that there is but one God, and I am he. There is one God who can shelter and feed them, but one God who can save them from the storm born of mercy. There is one God, and I am he, the Lord God Almighty, who saves.”
