"Turn to Me!"

"I am the only way!
I am your only safety from darkness!
Only in the Cross can you see clearly,
only in the Cross can you see light from darkness!
Only in the Cross will you be able to see clearly
through the days of darkness that are coming!
I have not given you a list of things to know
so that you could find your way through the darkness;
I have given you Myself!
I AM the way! I AM the path! I AM the guide!
Do not be afraid: I am not looking for reasons to condemn you!
I am not going over a list of your sins!
Turn to Me, turn to Me instead of to the law!"

"Covered Completely"

"Why are you afraid, My child?
Do you believe that I will abandon you as the world nears its end?
Do you believe that I will expect you to be perfect
and stand on your own without Me?
Who has told you these lies about Me?

"I will never leave you nor forsake you.
I am with you to the end of the age.
My righteousness covers you,
and My grace holds you safe.
I said that no one can snatch you out of My hand
because I am greater than all,
not because your perfection keeps you in My hand!

"Do not be afraid:
I am your shield!"

"More Than His Righteousness"

"I am shaking your gods! I am shaking your gods! No other 'gods' will survive in the days to come, and none of those who worship at their altars will remain unshaken. I am the only Rock, and I am the only Unshakeable One.

"Many of you have built altars according to your own patterns and unto your own gods—even though you often call your gods by My name. In My grace and My love for you, I will allow all of these to be shaken violently so that you may rest in Me alone. Put your trust in Me instead of in the works and altars you have built in My name!

"Rest in My love for you even when your works are shaken apart in front of you. I will not shake anything that will be too much for you to lose, unless you choose to cling to it more than you cling to Me. If you allow My shaking to remove what is shakeable, you will find My hands at the end, and you will realize that what you had clung to before only kept you further from My touch and resting in My love.

"I am your only righteousness—do not put your trust in your works or what you have built in My name."

"It is Finished!"

"I will be your calm in the storm. I will be your peace in tribulation. I will be the redemption of every thing that has been destroyed in you and taken from you. You can't see how I will redeem these things, but I want you to trust Me. Look to the cross! Look to what I have done for you for all eternity! It is finished! It is accomplished! Look! I have risen from the grave! I will redeem all things!"

"Which 'Testimony'?"

"When the earth shakes,
when the waves roar,
when wars and wickedness increase in the world,
what will be your 'good news'?"

"Ready In Me"

"I am all you need in the end times and on the last day. Do not be afraid and do not fret about what you need to have, what you need to do, what you need to figure out or be aware of. I will be your light in the darkness, and I will not expect you to produce your own light.

"Yes, I am coming soon. But I am not telling you to 'Get ready' because there is nothing you can do to 'get' ready, just as there is nothing you can do to accomplish your own salvation. All you can do is be in Me now, and let Me take you along day by day, one step at a time.

"Do not worry about what special command you must keep or what location you must be standing in. I am calling you to worship in Spirit and in truth—I am the truth, and I am the Spirit! I am calling you to simply be in Me.

"Do not worry as your spiritual forefathers did about 'Coming out to meet the Lord', for the Kingdom of God is already within you. Do not worry as your spiritual forefathers did about 'Loving His coming' because I already know if you love Me, and you do not need to worry about displeasing Me by not knowing the details of the time or events surrounding My coming.

"As the Day draws near, know now that I expect nothing more of you than to rest in My love for you, to love Me and to love your neighbor as I have loved you. I have laid no other burden on you. If anyone tells you to 'Get ready' for My coming by knowing their unique truths, know now that such a person has not been sent by Me but is rather deceived by Jezebel and her so-called 'deep secrets'. Do not be worried about what they say, and do not let them take away your peace in Me: I have overcome for you on the Cross—your victory is already accomplished in Me, not in your knowledge."

"Because I Overcame..."

"My children, why are you afraid of the end times? Who has made you afraid of the days to come? Didn't I promise to be with you unto the end? Or has someone told you that I would cease to intercede for you and you would have to stand in your own righteousness?

"You have been striving to defend your church and your beliefs, and yet you do not realize it has been your church and beliefs that have been wounding you and filling you with fear of the end times. You have been taught to prepare to run in the coming days, to prepare to flee persecution and dread suffering. But yet you have been told that your salvation depends on clinging to your church's unique beliefs. Because you have not known that I have already saved you (that salvation depended on Me instead of on you), you have not known My peace and strength that will sustain you through all tribulation. Because your faith has been in your unique beliefs, you have not known the rest that comes from having faith in Me alone.

"My children are safe in My hands, and no one can snatch them out. They will overcome the dragon because I have overcome the world for them. They are spotless and blameless because I covered them in My righteousness—the righteousness of the spotless and blameless Lamb. My children are not afraid because they know I will be with them always and will never leave nor forsake them. My children do not fear death because they know that their souls are safe in Me, and that nothing—not even death—will separate them from me. My children know that their suffering and death only brings them closer to Me.

"My children see that I have overcome the world, and that they also have overcome by faith in Me. Because their faith is in what I have done for them on the Cross, they are not worried about marks on their hands—for they can only see the marks on My hands and their names engraved there."

"I Will Never Forsake You"

"Do not be afraid of the dark times
that will come upon the world,
for I will be with you.
You are My child
and I will not let you go.

"You will not always be able to see the path before you,
nor the way through the forest of confusion.
But you will know My arm around you,
and you must trust My sight instead of your own.
Your own knowledge and preparation will not suffice,
but will only leave you in greater anxiety.

"Rest in Me and walk by faith.
My knowledge, My guidance,
and My Spirit will be your surety."

"Fear No Deceptions"

"Do not fear the days to come. I am your safety, I am your protector. Lean close to Me and listen to My heart. I will protect you from deception. Am I not stronger than the enemy? Is My Spirit not trustworthy to hold you and keep you close to My heart? What can you do to make yourself 'safer'? Just as you could not save yourself but I saved you on the Cross, in the same way you cannot keep yourself from deception during the time of the end. Just as you have to rely on My grace for salvation today, so too your only safety in the end is the grace of My Spirit."

"End Times Light"

"I AM your way in the darkness of the days that are coming. You need no other 'light' than what I have shown you in My Son crucified for you. There is no other 'secret' to surviving the time of the end, times of trouble or tribulation."

"The Spirit of Prophecy"

"I am the essence of prophecy. I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am the testimony of God the Father. I am the Beginning and the End.

"There is One Holy Spirit. He gives many gifts; prophecy is one of them. But I am the spirit of prophecy. I am the heart of all prophecy. All prophets see in part, but I am the whole. I am the end-picture; I am the final vision.

"Because you have tried to find a safe way ahead in times that were not yours, you have wandered away from your resting place. You searched the prophets trying to find hidden light with which you could see during dark days that were not yet upon you. And with your ways and your light you fortified and wearied yourselves. Your hearts became troubled, full of anxiety yet also proud that you knew what others did not. Others had only Me, you thought, but you had more light.

"But there is no other light than Me, and there is no other way. There is nothing before Me and there is nothing beyond Me. There is no additional light. I AM the Light. There is no further way because I AM the Way. You have not known peace in your souls because you have left the narrow way.

"Return! Return to Me! I am your place of rest, I am your true light. I am the One who will heal your weariness from your ways. I am the One who will give you rest about the times of the end. I am the One who will give you understanding about My words, and I am the One who will give you peace when you do not understand. I am the One who saves you regardless of the level of your understanding, because I save you by My own knowledge, not by yours.

"Return to Me. I AM the spirit of prophecy!"
