A Controversy

I have a controversy with the nations.  I have a news announcement for the nations who think they will subdue Me, and My church, My people !  You boast in your arrogance but when I am finished you will be greatly humbled.
I am the God Who created the heavens and the earth and no court on earth can reverse that !  I am the God Who put the stars in the heavens and nothing you do can figure it all out !  I am the GOD Who created man and I am the God who preserves man in times of trouble.  I am the God Who sent My Son to die for you and to proclaim My love for you, but yet you spit on My Son’s name and you make idols for yourselves and of yourselves, thinking that you know better than the Almighty !

Jer 25:31-32 NKJV A noise will come to the ends of the earth — For the LORD has a controversy with the nations; He will plead His case with all flesh. He will give those who are wicked to the sword,' says the LORD."
32 Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Behold, disaster shall go forth From nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the farthest parts of the earth.

I am not a man that I should lie like you do !  I keep My Word.  My Word stands and you can do nothing to reverse it.  Just when you think you are in control, I will tip My finger and all you have done will come to nothing !  I am
God and there is no other !  Have you not heard ? Have you not known ?   It is I Who created all things living on this earth and it is I WHO am in control.
I will defend My people though an army encamps against them, I will defend them.  Though the rain comes down and bruises the soil, and carries away houses, I will keep those who have built their house on the ROCK, trusting in My Son.

My people will give themselves willingly in the day of My power for I will pour out My GRACE in greater measure than you have seen or known for many centuries and you will see amazing signs and wonders in the heavens and earth and miracles with spring forth like wildflowers after the rain !  I am not a stingy, selfish God.  I am a generous God who gives immeasurably to all who love Me and fear My name !  I am a God of abundant love and kindness to all who will repent and turn from wickedness.  Many will come to the brightness of your rising and you will go forth as stall fed calves.

Isa 60:3 NKJV   The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising .

Mal 4:2-3 NKJV But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; And you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves. 3 You shall trample the wicked, For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this," Says the LORD of hosts.

My people will give up their lives for another and give up all they have to build MY KINGDOM when I am through with them, and you will know them by the LOVE they have for one another !  They will no longer be known for their selfishness and self preservation and lust for the things of this world.  I am changing their world view and awakening My church for the glory is coming that will destroy the yoke of the enemy and transform every heart , and that will bring the prodigals home into MY heart !  I am not impotent as the world and many in My own church think !  I am MIGHTY and I will do all I have said I will do.   Believe and be confident in My love for you.  I am erasing all the doublemindedness and fears and insecurities that you will walk in HOLINESS and POWER.

My heart is set on RESTORATION for those who are Mine and they will see
what their hearts have longed to see.  The sun is arising with healing in His wings and nothing will ever be the same again.  Mankind will try to mimic the works of the Lord like Jannes and Jambres and some will be led astray, but those who love the TRUTH will not be swayed.  It has begun already but know that I will have MY way.  False witnesses fill the earth, but My witnesses will move in greater precision and power than anything they can try to conjure up.  I am the God who drives diviners mad, and many will be given over to torment as they choose the creature over the Creator !

Isa 61:10-11 NIV  I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.  11  For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise  spring up before all nations.

Isa 62:5-8 NKJV   For as a young man marries a virgin, So shall your sons marry you; And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, So shall your God rejoice over you.  6  I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent,  7 And give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

Isa 60:1-8   NKJV   The Gentiles Bless Zion
Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you.
3 The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.  4 "Lift up your eyes all around, and see: They all gather together, they come to you; Your sons shall come from afar, And your daughters shall be nursed at your side. 5 Then you shall see and become radiant, And your heart shall swell with joy; Because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.
6 The multitude of camels shall cover your land, The dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; All those from Sheba shall come; They shall bring gold and incense, and they shall proclaim the praises of the LORD. 7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you, The rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you; They shall ascend with acceptance on My altar, and I will glorify the house of My glory. 8 "Who are these who fly like a cloud, and like doves to their roosts?

Hag 2:6-9 NKJV   "For thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7  and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,' says the LORD of hosts. 8 'The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,' says the LORD of hosts. 9  'The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,' says the LORD of hosts. 'And in this place I will give peace,' says the LORD of hosts."
