There have been many prophesies about the coming revival. Many have prayed and anticipated the release of God’s glory. Yet we may have forgotten the lesson what the Lord Jesus taught us in Matthew 21 : 12-16:

¹² Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 

¹³ And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ”    

¹⁴ Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them. 

¹⁵ But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant 

¹⁶ and said to Him, “Do You hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes. Have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise’?”

In this scripture the Lord Jesus demonstrated how revival comes to His house. There must be a cleansing from our wicked ways. Our traditions and the things that have perverted the practices of God. Our constant jostle for money and our uncleanness must be removed from His presence. The house of worship must be refocused to be a place that caters to the needs of the people. Exploitation of the people must end before the fire comes to heal the sick and lame.

The Warning

On Friday September 7, 2018 the Lord Jesus mentioned that He will move against the Prophets that prophesy the people’s desire.

This is what He said…

There will be judgement against the prophets who mislead the people who speak good when there is evil. The people have been misled to feel comfortable in their sins. You have not warned them to flee from My wrath. For that you will be judged. You have drank the wine of Jezebel and sat at her table. You have become fat with portions from her table. I will spit you out. The blood of the people shall be on your hands.

You have not warned the people to repent. You have not told them of their deeds and urged them to turn. Speaking the desires of your heart will not change the situation. I will not pardon the guilty who continues in his ways. I showed you the bad so you may warn the people.

Was Nineveh not spared from wrath at the warning of Jonah? Did he tell them what was good? Did he not tell them of their deeds and advise them to repent? Why are my prophets misleading the people? Why have they become contented to be fat with the offerings of the bloody and deceitful?

Repent. Turn from your ways. I am a good God but I am also a God of wrath and Judgement. I will repay the guilty for their deeds unless they repent and turn from their wicked ways.

Speak my words as I give it. Do not withhold the truth. Do not sugarcoat it. Speak loud and spare not. Shall I bless the defiled.

Jeremiah 23:16

Thus says the Lord of hosts: Do not listen to the words of the [false] prophets who prophesy to you. They teach you vanity (emptiness, falsity, and futility) and fill you with vain hopes; they speak a vision of their own minds and not from the mouth of the Lord.

Luke 6:26

Woe to (alas for) you when everyone speaks fairly and handsomely of you and praises you, for even so their forefathers did to the false prophets.

2 Timothy 4:3-4

³ For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold,

⁴ And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions.
