Be
On Guard, Pride, Anger and an
Apology
The
Lord is with us, Precious Family,
and tonight HE HAS A BEAUTIFUL
TEACHING ON FORGIVENESS, AND THE
EFFECTS THAT ANGER AND UNFORGIVENESS
CAN HAVE. And as usual...I’m the
guinea pig...
It
all began tonight when the Lord
and I were dancing. He took me
out onto a veranda, where there
was moonlight and a beautiful body
of water with the moonlight
glistening over it and a yellow
rose right in front of us, as
we sat on an ornate bench in
this very special garden.
And
the Lord said, “We
are in the garden of your
heart.”
We
are?
“Yes.
We are.”
Well,
I thought I’d double check and
see if this was the Lord,
because LAST night I had a very
difficult time getting the message –that’s
going to come up later in this
message. So, I went to the
Bible Promises and I got
Humility and Long Life. And I
thought, ‘Uh oh...’ I was
looking for Holy Spirit. So, I
couldn't continue with the message
because I was afraid it wasn't
the Lord–‘cause I
had a false start last night,
too.
Lord,
are You going to withhold a
word from me because of my
pride?
“No,
My Love, I am just reminding you,
in humility, you have a long
way to go.”
I
know Lord. I'm sorry.
“Well,
I am with you and we will
go it together.”
At
that point, I went to the Bible
Promises again –and
I got Holy Spirit. And Ezekiel,
also, got a confirming reading
–‘cause we always
work together. He prays for me
while I’m receiving the message,
and that really clears the way.
The
Lord began to speak to me about
a situation.
“Some
people are not aware of what
they are doing. For them, you
need extra grace not to lose
patience.”
Yes,
I know Lord. I don't like it
when I lose patience and become
angry. I know that is pride
raising its ugly head.
“Mind
you, I am not saying they don't
need correction, but I would prefer
that you did it without being
emotionally embroiled. That is never
healthy.”
HOW
DO I KEEP FROM GETTING ANGRY?
“COMPASSION.
UNDERSTANDING. FORGIVENESS. ALL THOSE LOVELY FRUITS
OF HUMILITY.”
Yes,
now I can see why I have
very little humility.
“I
didn't say you had very little.
I said you have a long way to
go.”
(I'm
smiling) Well, I guess in its own
way that's somewhat of an affirmation.
Kinda like a backhanded compliment,
but even that is healthy for me.
“Well,
My Darling Bride, I do not want
you losing your equilibrium, if you
can be thrown easily into a fit
of anger you can be distracted
at a key moment when I need
you to be present to others.
Isn't that exactly what happened?”
Yes,
Lord. It is.
“You
can see it in Ezekiel when he
loses his equilibrium, but you have
trouble seeing it in yourself.
However, it has the same effect
on you as on him. It
robs you of your concentration on
other things, depletes your mental,
emotional and physical energy, sends
you off chasing your tail in a
situation that most probably will
not get resolved the way you
would like it to.
“This
is milder than a sucker punch,
this is more like tripping.
You're walking along in peace and
confidence and all of a sudden
you trip over something you didn't
see and you fall...into anger. Why
don't you explain what happened.”
Ummmmm.
Do I have to?
“No.
It's just a suggestion.”
Right.
As if I will ever deny
you anything, Lord.
“Mmmm...you
deny Me your dark chocolate infinity
bars?”
Oh,
Lord you know that's just medicine to
help me focus...(I have a feeling I'm
going to need one before this
message is over)
“It
is??” (He looked
at me tongue in cheek trying to
hold back a smile.)
Since
I didn't want to tell the whole
story about who it was that I
got upset with, I started to
make something up as an analogy.
But first I said, ‘The
facts are changed, to protect the
innocent... ‘ And then I
began this story: ‘There was an
older gentleman,
who posted a comment on one of
our videos...’
The
Lord stopped me right there -‐He
broke in and He said, "You're
lying."
So,
I can't use an analogy even though
I confessed that I changed the
facts?
"Nope."
Ok,
I'll tell all. I became impatient
with one of our audience who
posted something that I felt was
misrepresenting the Lord and us, and
it made me angry. So, I was
rather cold in my answer....actually,
this is the second time I’ve
been a little...curt...with this person...
Jesus
said, "Come on. Finish the
story."
I
thought to myself, ‘Oh
this couldn't be the Lord, I
must be deceived.’ So,
I went to the Bible Promises and
what do you think I opened to?
Holy Spirit. So. There's no
wiggling out of this one and
it's just not fun.
Jesus
replied, "No it's not fun,
but it is necessary. You do owe
her an apology."
Yes,
I know Lord.
I
don't understand why I feel like
I swallowed a brick and I'm
crying.
“You
were hurt and didn't handle it
well. Just because someone
misrepresents Me does not give you
the license to be harsh, you know.
I still need you to be gentle
and forgive.”
In
any case after I left my cold
answer, and this wasn't the first
time I was a little irritated
with this young lady, I started
stewing and said to myself, ‘This
isn't good, I need out of
this.’ I
told Ezekiel and he started stewing
and the brew was getting thicker
and thicker. We both tried to
do violence to ourselves but
something had gotten a hold on
us.
The
Lord broke in and said, "Something
like the influence of dark matter?"
Was
that what it was?
"Similar.
You were dealing with a demon of
unforgiveness."
Well
when I came into prayer to get
the message yesterday, after that incident,
I had a very hard time. In
fact, I got something like 6
paragraphs into the message and
thought, ‘This isn't
the Lord.’ So, I
called for back up with Ezekiel
and he told me, ‘That's
not the Lord’ and
I had to throw it out.
But
why did the Lord allow me to
get six paragraphs into it before
I realized it was either coming
from my own head or a familiar
spirit???
"It
was that same demon of unforgiveness,
telling you a plausible story."
Wow.
That’s very interesting... So THAT’S
what happens! When you sin, a
demon gets in there and tells
you something plausible, but it’s
not the truth. Why does the
Lord EVER allow me to be
deceived?
Pride.
It's always Pride. And the
readings I got were all about
humility. I knew the Lord was
dealing with my harsh attitude but
Ezekiel brought it up, ‘Forgiveness.
You need to forgive her.’ So,
we made an act of the will to
forgive even though I was still
angry inside. It didn't feel like
forgiveness, but it was an act
of the will. And soon after
that the Lord began to give me
the message, which He confirmed
several times.
So,
returning to this situation, the Lord
began again:
"So...what
do you want to say?"
I'm
sorry, Eden's Secret, for losing my temper
with you. I should have
handled it much differently. Please
forgive me.
"That's
good. Now, tell the rest."
Well,
in the middle of this, when I was
very embroiled in the comment -‐the
phone rang. I thought to
myself, ‘I'm not
going to answer that.’ So,
I let it ring and ring and ring.
I was just too upset about
the comment and I didn't want
to talk to anyone, period. But
the phone began to ring again
and I realized it was Carol,
who NEVER calls me, let alone twice
in a row. So, I knew it
must be important, and I answered
it. It was Carol telling me
about the loss of her
brother-‐in-‐law and his wife
in that fatal motorcycle accident that
had just happened.
"SO
YOU SEE, MY CHILDREN, THE DEVILS ARE
CLEVER; THEY WILL CREATE A DIVERSION
AT A KEY TIME TO DISTRACT YOU
AWAY FROM WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
THEY WILL CAUSE ANGER, DIVISION
AND PRIDE TO WELL UP WHILE
ANOTHER SITUATION IS COMING TO A
HEAD THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.
“I
can't tell you how many thousands
of times this works. Close to
every time. Have you ever
seen how two thieves enter a
store-‐one makes a scene at
the cash register, all eyes turn
to him and the other sneaks
out the door with expensive
liquor? It happens all the
time.
“WITH
THIS NEW ONSLAUGHT OF EVIL YOU
ALL ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE
MUCH MORE AWARE OF BEING TOYED
WITH. I'M TELLING YOU NOW
BECAUSE EVERY ONE OF YOU WILL BE
TESTED IN THIS. ANGER IS A
POISON THAT RUINS ALL IT TOUCHES.
DO NOT GIVE WAY TO ANGER. RETIRE
INTO A QUIET SPACE WITH ME
AND LET US REASON IT OUT
TOGETHER. THEN YOU CAN MOVE FORWARD.
“My
Children, this is how the enemy
steals virtue from you: fore-‐warned
is fore-‐armed.
I did not give her a
message until she repented.
What's the use? I cannot
use a prideful vessel, that
hasn't repented. Unforgiveness is from
the sin of pride, as if you
deserve forgiveness for your sins-‐but
others don't??
“I
am not trying to embarrass My
precious Bride. She has already agreed
that there will be no secrets
in My teachings through her. But
understand, your actions are just
as transparent to Me and the
devils as this incident has been
retold to you. And how
can I rapture a Bride who
has bitterness and unforgiveness?
I know it's a still climb,
but I've given you all time to
make it, and you are not
alone. I will carry you, if you
let Me. I will help you,
make you stronger, more aware
and more willing to lay down
rancor and take up charity.
“Please.
As these days unfold before you,
be aware that every step of
yours is marked and calculated by
the evil ones. He has no
intention of letting you get away
from him. You are targeted for
destruction. You are not to
react to this in fear, but
in caution and total awareness of
your own feelings that you not
be led into a trap or taken
off course.
“You
see, I want you to be ready
to bring souls into My Kingdom
and the devils do know that
you are a threat and who
you might affect if your paths
cross, so they will do all
they can to distract you with
your flesh.
“THESE
ARE KEY TIMES, MY BRIDE. YOU
ARE HOLDING THE TORCH OF TRUTH
AND IT IS BURNING THE KINGDOM
OF DARKNESS. SO, NOT ONLY DO
YOU SHED LIGHT WHEREVER YOU GO,
YOU ARE A TARGET WHEREVER YOU
GO. THE DEMONS ARE LIKE CLEVER
LITTLE TROUBLEMAKERS, CONSTANTLY SIZING
YOU UP. THEY ARE ALWAYS IN
CAHOOTS, LOOKING FOR WAYS TO CAUSE
A FALL AND THWART MY INTENTIONS
TO USE YOU.
“So,
this teaching is for you. Put
yourself in her place and walk
with integrity and caution. Each
day is a new opportunity to
glorify Me...or an opportunity to
dishonor Me.
“I
bless you now, that you should
never bring reproach upon Me,
that you should forever be
sensitive to the work I give
you and it's timeliness from
moment to moment. Don't let the
evil ones steal your graces.
PRACTICE HUMILITY,
PATIENCE AND FORBEARANCE EVERYDAY, AND
WHEN THOSE TESTS COME-‐YOU WON'T
FALL.
“Remember,
I am walking with you, on
your right side, holding your
arm, keeping you steady. And when
the journey becomes too much?
Well then I pick you up,
and I carry you the rest of the
way.”
