their day is coming, the day of distress for those who will not hear me. for now, i am holding back destruction, because i am training my servants. but the days of peace are almost over, and when i release the powers of destruction upon the earth, then peace will fall apart before your eyes. but understand this, that the deception is already at work, and it takes many different forms, and comes from the same root. you will see this in the days ahead. those who fall by it are the ones who refused my love. they are growing to hate you with an unreasoning hatred that they do not understand, and yet they have never stopped to question this. but you do not hate them in return, for i do not hate them. do not give them an answer when they accuse you, as i did not give my accusers an answer. their accusations are lies, and to answer gives dignity to them. and above all, do not let anger take you up in its grasp, because it will cause you to fall with much harm to you. practice love, practice kindness, practice justice; as you see me do, go and do likewise. make no provision for the flesh, not for its lusts or desires. train your thoughts to be of me alone, and you will learn of me to walk in my will. this is why i have called you, to be a people of my possession. it is impossible for you to be devoted too much to me. the more you give of yourself to me, the more i will give of myself to you. seek to give yourself to me, and no matter what comes against you, it will be put to shame. do not grieve my holy spirit; he is given to you of my father as your friend. he is your teacher, your counselor,and your strength. he will teach and reprove all that you need of me. he will guide you in the way which is right. if you listen to me, he will give you the word for every situation, but some require no word, and when he does not speak, you do not speak either. truly, what i have planned for you is beyond your belief, but you will see and wonder at the glory to come. i will exalt those who humble themselves at my feet. hold fast to what you have, and i will give you much more. now my children, behold and i will show you a mystery, one hidden from the beginning. i am coming again, on the clouds, and my angels will gather my elect from every land and nation and people. you have heard of this and wondered when it would come. it will not be when you think, but when my father says it is time. but here is the mystery; everyone on earth will know that i have come to gather you, and they will not be ignorant. these ones who are left will understand what has happened, and because of the hardness of their hearts, they will refuse to repent. if they would repent, i would save them also, as a few will be saved. but as for the rest, i will give them over to the evil one, and they will share his fate with him, which is the lake of fire. they will not be deceived, as so many say today, but they will rather chose to hate me and love a lie. they will do this with full knowledge of what they are doing. surely their punishment is just. they have refused the love of the truth.
