An hour of judgement has come on the evil in this earth. It is time to clean out our temples which are our hearts.
In a dream I saw Jesus in the sky, mighty and great and the entire earth saw Him as well. Everyone ran to hide from His glory, from His presence and righteous anger. He comes as ruler, as King, as mighty in power and the whole earth fears Him as they should.
“Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed.” Revelation 16:15
I’ve been feeling a strong pull towards pursuing holiness and purity like never before. I have also felt an hour of judgement upon us like never before as well. The Lord continues to highlight this judgement on the evil in our land each time I go to spend time with Him. And each time His voice grows louder in my spirit.
He is sending out a cry for believers to come out of the world in this time, to be the church He is calling set apart for Himself. But also to protect us from this hour of judgement.
“Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.” Revelation 18:4b-5
When I was reading in Ezekiel yesterday morning the Lord spoke to me through these verses found in chapter 8. He said the judgement is on an evil that is behind closed doors.. and we will be made aware of it in time. He called Ezekiel to look into a hole and dig in the wall in order to discover sins he knew not of being done behind walls.
“Then he brought me to the entrance to the court. I looked, and I saw a hole in the wall. He said to me, “Son of man, now dig into the wall.” So I dug into the wall and saw a doorway there. And he said to me, “Go in and see the wicked and detestable things they are doing here.”
Ezekiel 8:7-9
“He said to me, ‘Son of man, have you seen what the elders of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? They say, ‘The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.’”
Ezekiel 8:12
But the Lord has seen and knows. Nothing is hidden from His sight. The Lord also used these same verses to bring to light the need for the church to search the depths of their own hearts for hidden sins.
Each elder was sinning before their own idol.
What idols are we holding in our own hearts that we commit sin before?
Have we allowed the Lord to dig deep into our hearts to discover these idols?
This hour of judgement is not meant for the church. However, if we are caught unaware in our own sin and refuse to be made clean we can easily fall under what was not meant for His own.
This sounds terrible, I know, and I would never share a word like this if the Lord had not pressed on my heart about this season as much as He has for the last couple of months.
My prayer is that we choose this day to pursue Him, to pursue a heart of purity and holiness. To choose to be set apart from the wicked ways of this world and to be His and His alone.
Be clothed in purity and holiness, let it adorn you and seek to understand what that means.
In seasons where it grows dark, those with His light shine brightly. Be the light He has made you to be in this hour… and be set apart.
