All That He Asks of Us

I am going to talk about the nature of Satan, what he is really like, as the Father shows, what he is thinking and planning, what he is conspiring to do against the Father, and what it is like in his fallen world. At times I need to speak plainly about what I see from the Father, and it will be graphic. Murder is graphic. Suicide is graphic. War is graphic.The Father has been looking at our sin and our darkness since we were first conceived in Him. And He has been this way from the beginning. There is no act of evil or selfish sin, that He hasn't seen. No scream in the night or in the day, He hasn't heard. So since this is true, that He bears so much grief while looking at the rainbow He made, then it is our duty, our love for Him, our understanding that we owe Him everything...to stand by His side, willing to see what He sees, willing to care about what He suffers as He sees the violence that is rapidly filling the earth, so much more now. This is my premise, that the church that is unwilling to open their eyes to war, that stays so far away from the truth about this war in the earth and never hear His voice, are not His bride. Those who eat strong meat, become strong themselves, and can give Him what He asks of all of us. To love, to care, to help all to have the treasure that is Jesus.

So I speak of the things that matter to the Father. Prophets are those who love the Father and His beating heart called Jesus, almost to distraction. And Prophets are those who can be used to speak His mind simply as vessels. And Prophets are those who point to important things. The sin in all of us that caused the most perfect and beautiful of Beings to come to be tortured and slaughtered on the cross, not to mention taking on every single act of our sin and evil, on to Himself. Remember, sin is self above everything. And Prophets are those, who considering themselves, speak of how we must leave our self-love affairs and join with Him with all our strength, with all our love, and with His leading, help Him reach the perishing and bring them to HOPE.

I will tell you of one thing the Father showed me about Satan. Knowing that Satan's bottom line is hatred of the Father, and hatred of us, of mankind, I saw murders, and suicides, literally, as the Father was leading me. I heard the sounds of people being beheaded, I saw beheadings, I saw suicides, pregnant women who threw themselves out of tall buildings and killed themselves and the bodies of the babies next to them, having been propelled from the bodies of the mothers. I've seen the violence that caused the Father to act as He did in Noah's day. These are sights and sounds that will only fade from my mind when I leave the body of this death.

I've spoken of all this before, but now add to the picture of all this woe and anguish, grief and loss, murder and suicide, add to this the sight of Satan, who once walked the pathways of Heaven, Satan laughing with glee and washing himself in the bloodshed of violence as each act unfolds. Hear the sound of the screams of the murdered, and add the sound of his mocking laughter to that image.

This is the nature of the one who opposes the Father, opposes Jesus, moves to snatch the hope of Jesus from everyone he can. His aim is for a mountain of corpses for Jesus to return to, while he laughs at the Father with his hatred. Laughing at the anguish he helps to cause, covering himself in the blood of mankind, mocking Jesus' blood as he stands before the Father. Will we stand for this mocking of the Father? Will we sit quietly as the enemy spits at the Father, and murders even children, while looking to see the expression on the face of the One who sacrificed Himself for us? Look at the cross, then answer the question.

Speaking of these things here is an open door from the Father, for those who love Him more than their self-interests to come by His side and ask Him what you can do and must do, to help Him, as He goes down the avenues of earth, and down the avenues of every human being to bring us out of the darkness, and bring us light and life and hope. There will be no peace until evil is defeated and the Prince of Peace is come. In the meantime, know our enemy, know the voice of our Father, as Jesus says, "My sheep hear My voice and know Me." Knowing and hearing Him means moving to follow and help Him in all that He asks of us.
