I was praying about the threat of mall explosion that Cyndee felt, and very moved by the Spirit with tears, and then I asked the Lord if He had something to say, and I heard “einsam wacht” which means “the lonely are awake!”

This is from the lyrics to Silent Night, Holy Night in German

DEUTSCH

Music: Franz Xaver Gruber, 1818
Words: Joseph Mohr, 1816/1818

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,
Alles schläft; einsam wacht
Nur das traute hochheilige Paar.
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,
Hirten erst kundgemacht
Durch der Engel Halleluja,
Tönt es laut von fern und nah:
Christ, der Retter ist da!
Christ, der Retter ist da!

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,
Gottes Sohn, o wie lacht
Lieb' aus deinem göttlichen Mund,
Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund'.
Christ, in deiner Geburt!
Christ, in deiner Geburt!

Heute singt man nur die Strophen 1, 6 und 2 (oben) von der originellen Joseph-Mohr-Version (1816). ENGLISH

Music: Franz Xaver Gruber, 1818
Words: John Freeman Young, 1863

Silent night, holy night
All is calm all is bright
'Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia;
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born

Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

Today only verses 1, 6 and 2 (above) from the original Joseph Mohr version (1816) are sung.

I had been praying and weeping for God to not allow this threat at a mall to injure people.  I had this feeling that He was saying there are some things HE must allow to awaken Hearts of the most dull.  But then He said "Einsam wacht" .

“ Will they truly WONDER when I inhabit fully My dwelling place in your hearts?  Will they bow down before ME, in everlasting thankfulness?  For love has grown so cold, and many are falling away to diverse doctrines of demons and vain philosophies of men.  Will My own people even wonder at the beauty of Holiness I bring?  Will they rebuke My Holy Spirit as if He is something demonic, because of all the suspicion they hold in their hearts because of the abuses of men?  Or will they accept that I WHO AM ALMIGHTY, can overcome even the most hardened of hearts?

For I truly am blowing and shaking and rolling away Egypt in the hearts of  My own, that they may receive the fullness of all that I am, as I come on a tsunami of My LOVE, that will eradicate the enemy from your lives if you will receive it.  The rains are falling, the waters are flowing, and the greatest of all moves of GOD will suddenly break forth in the desert, and you will be carried into a time of wonderment and beauty, you’ve not imagined.  The enemy will arise as he sees this display of My glory, to ravage the leaders and conduits of My grace and power, but he will NOT be able to stop the flow.

Unity will come from true love of the FATHER poured out on the conduits of My GRACE and MERCY.  Sing and dance in the rain, the ice and the snow, for the great vats of snow are only a sign of the glory I AM pouring out in this hour.  EMBRACE ME, beloveds.  For I am birthing, and I am pouring the finest of wine out into those who WANT holiness, who WANT righteousness, who WANT ME to abide in them.  Sing with JOY for your Redeemer draws nigh!   Love on ME, and I will LOVE ON YOU !!!

And I will give you the ability and desire to reach out of that place of comfort you want to stay in, and to really touch lives of others who are broken and weak, sick and overcome by the enemy.  Allow me to open your eyes to those around you who need a touch. ASK ME to show you.  For it is in the reaching out that then I will touch that other and demonstrate MY KINGDOM!  The great commission was to heal the sick, to raise the dead, to cast out demons!  Exercise your authority as sons and daughters of the Kingdom!  YOU are My ARMS !  YOU are My legs !  You are My VOICE !  Your attitudes are MY FACE!!”
