+       Did I not make it clear to My children in My Word the conditions for keeping out from under the curse which infests this world [Deuteronomy 28:1-15]? Did I not redeem My people from the curse of the Law [Galatians 3:13]? Yet they seek to remain in "friendship" with the world and its systems, which are decaying and perishing to a greater degree with each passing day. Some continue to bow their knee to Satan [align themselves with his lies] in different areas of their lives, and I will not have it! Have I not said in My Word, "My people perish for lack of  [revelation] knowledge [Hosea 4:6a]?" Some perish because they refuse to hear My Word; but woe to the shepherds [pastors] who are destroying My flock!  For in their pursuit of self-glory they have sought to control [manipulate] the sheep entrusted to them and, thus, they have not represented My true character. They have driven them away from Me, and have not attended to them. Behold, I am about to attend to them for the evil of their deeds! I will raise up "true" shepherds [shepherds that are true to My highest purposes] over My children and they will tend them, and My sheep will hear My voice and they will not be afraid any longer, nor be terrified, nor will any be missing. For too long, I have watched as many of My children allowed themselves to be carried to and fro by every wind of [false] doctrine. They have continued, by the process of "mental ascension", to twist the words I have spoken to conform to their own selfish desires. Is it not written, "Do not be deceived for God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth, that he will also reap"? I say to you this day, that the harvest time has arrived, and the consuming fire of My Spirit shall separate the works of gold, silver and precious stones from the works of wood, hay and straw, and it is certain that each man's work will become evident [righteous or unrighteous] in this most critical hour - without exception [1 Corinthians 3:10-15]!
