23
Do you say
that I am dead, or that I do not exist? Or that the choice is up to you
and that you may worship anything you please? Truly, you have been driven
mad by demons! I have given you the freedom of choice that you might
choose Me without coercion. I would not force you, otherwise I would have
made robots. You say that I am dead? But I am risen and alive, alive
forever, while you come to the end of your days in confusion and misery.
I am a living
God; the only living God; there are no other gods before Me; and when you
worship other gods, you worship that which is dead; you worship that which
cannot save you. I have made everything that there is – including you
– and your gods and your purposes and plans cannot and will not stand
against Me.
Would you be
on the side of victory? Then come to Me and worship, and I shall lift you
up on high. The game is over, and I have already won; and I return to you
soon to take up My world-ruling Kingdom. The choice I present to you today
is this: victory or defeat. Remember that the game has already been won by
Me. For you to become a victor all you need do is join Me, for I am happy
to give the victory to you as well. There is no other victory available
but My victory, for all else is defeat.
I will not be
mocked by you, for you are less than a speck. When you curse My name, when
you hate Me, will I not notice? But I have not dealt with you as you deal
with others. I have suffered long with you in the hopes that you might
come to repentance. And do you not know what repentance is? Repentance is
turning around and going the other way. Repentance is giving up the evil
and doing that which is good. Repentance is turning to Me and following My
law of love I have put down for you in the Bible. There are no other ways;
you cannot decide for yourself. You are wholly incapable of deciding for
yourself without Me. You say, "Live and let live." But what you
mean and what happens is, "Live and let die." You have no love
for anything except yourself.
I give you My
words, but you refuse and reject them, saying that you are capable of
ruling yourself. You are a fool and a simpleton. And the fool and the
simpleton shall perish in their own blood.
I have pleaded
with you gently over the last thirty years, and even longer than that. But
you turn from Me in everything you do. The times of My gentle pleading are
over. Do you find these words harsh? Do they grate against your sense of
individuality, your sense of self destiny? Do you abhor them? I say again,
the times of My gentle pleading are over, and soon you shall experience
the fierceness of My anger poured on you. Do you prefer tears and cruelty
over gentleness and love; I see by all your actions that you do, for there
is no mercy in you at all. For the third and final time I tell you: My
gentle pleading is over, and you have but little time to return to Me
before My anger overtakes you, and your blood fills the streets.
Return to Me
now, or experience war and death and enslavement in your own land.
