PROPHETIC WOES THROUGH HOSEA

My Dear Precious Child,
    After Adam's rebellion when he did not take My advice and went ahead and listened to the voice of alien spirits and in turn made those spirits the Lords of his life and in the lives of his family, I went to every means possible to get My words of guidance into the thoughts of people again to warn them about the devil's voice.  I even spoke to Cain and told him that a demon was lurking at the door of his mind, tempting him.  Cain knew what I was saying, because the demon had made Cain jealous of his brother Abel in his mind.  Cain disobeyed My advice and went ahead and yielded to the temptation and killed his own brother. Things in his life weren't better, they increased in a multiple curses the rest of his life.  (Genesis 4:)  
    My dealings with people have always to be able to get My individual words of guidance to them so that they would have a more clear path to freedom from evil. I gave them laws through Moses, which worked out temporarily until the devil began to convince the priests and other religious leaders to use the laws as a basis for condemnation and judgment instead of being revelations of the characteristics of the devil so that the people would recognize the demons' temptations in their minds and ignore them as what they are, which are indications of the mental thoughts which is where the demons do their works. The demons have no authority in the earth to act out their evil so they use people to do their evil desires. It was in giving the laws to Moses that I intended to help the people of Israel to be able to identify the temptations of the demons in their mind, hoping that they would realize that obeying the temptations of the devil would bring horrible woes into their lives and so they would refuse to follow the temptations of the devil.  That didn't help people either, because the religious people used the laws to condemn people instead of to caution them on the temptations that were entering into their minds. (Romans 6:7-13)
   My next plan was to send prophets, men who could hear My voice and speak to people the warnings about what was coming into their lives if they persisted in doing the work of the devil in the earth instead of their doing My good works of love and goodness in the earth.  That worked only for a short time, and what happened is that the kings and priests started killing the prophets, the very men I had sent to tell them how to become united with Me again instead of honoring the devil as their God.  The warnings were rarely heeded because the kings and priests thought they knew more than I do about the earth and its governing. They had no idea about what was going to come into being in their lives when they killed the prophets, who were the very people I had sent to warn them about the woes, calamities, troubles and problems which were going to come into their lives on earth if they continued looking to the devil and his idols as their gods.  They had left Me, as their One True God and began to worship idols as their god. Their worship was to the demons who inhabited the idols.  So their rebellion against Me had come full circle.  
   Every prophesy to the nations of Israel from Me included warnings on with what areas of sins, those being demons, that the countries had become united, and the prophesies also contained My promises about what great things would happen if they decided to return to Me and My kingdom of God after breaking their allegiances to the devil and his demons.  For instance, I told Hosea to speak for Me to the nation of Ephraim and tell them that they had deeply corrupted themselves with sins.  I told them that their fathers in Israel had also left in their fellowship with Me and they had become shameful in their abominations that they loved.  I told the people of the city of Ephraim that their glory had flown away like a bird, like from the womb and from conception, and that even though they brought up their own children yet they would be bereaved because of their unity with the demons from hell.  I said that Ephraim would bring forth children for murder instead of for My peace.  (Hosea 9:13)  I said that their wickedness was so evil that they would see that they were driven out of My house, that My love would no longer be their legacy because that their princes were prone to revolt.
   The woes of the children of Ephraim were that they would be cast out from their nation, all because they had made the devil their god, and they had departed from Me and My family's favor.  The result was that they would be wanderers among all of the nations of the earth with no nation of their own. Israel itself was guilty of making images with which to worship and as a result they found their country divided, faulty and desolate without a king because they did not remain in awe of Me in their worship.  They had lied, swearing falsely to demonic covenants and so their judgment sprung forth like poison in their fields. The prophet Hosea continued in his identification of the sins of Ephraim and Israel.(Hosea 9:11-17 and Hosea 9:1-10)  
    Then the prophet Hosea gave them a way out of their woes and their misery from having departed from Me and binding themselves to demons in their idols.  He told them that if they would sow to themselves righteousness that they would reap My mercy and break up the fallow ground.  He told them that it was time for them to see Me so that I would come and rain righteousness upon them. (Hosea 10:12)
    Returning to Me and My mercy was always possible and the cure for all of the sins of the nations. I spoke through Hosea the deep love that I had for Israel, then I outlined their backsliding, and I said that even though I called them to repentance, none of them would come, neither Israel nor Ephraim.  Yet Judah had remained loyal to Me for a time and was faithful with all of the saints, yet they turned away from Me also. (Hosea 11:1-11)
    My words through the prophets always named the sins of the nations, also naming the woes and devastation what were to come upon the nations because of their having sown seeds of devotion to the devil and his demons instead of to Me.  That same scenario played over and over and over again in My struggle with Israel as a nation in My trying to convince a country to keep its covenant with Me.  As history proved, it was impossible, even though I tried many ways to convince the nations of Israel to remain loyal to Me in order that the physical body of My son Jesus would inherit few of the generational curses that had been passed down through Abraham's sons into the body of My Son Jesus. (Galatians 3:15-18) My fatherly DNA had also been passed into His body when My Holy Spirit came upon Mary and impregnated her with My powerful spiritual DNA as well as Jesus having human DNA from his mother Mary's family.  Preserving a human body for Jesus to inhabit took generations for Me to accomplish. In Mary I found the near perfect one.  When I told her that she was to carry My Son Jesus,Mary merely told Me to do unto her according to My words.  No fear, no dread, no questioning, no hesitation.  (Luke 1:30-38)  Mary merely said, "Let it be done to me according to your words."  
    Mary's profession of faith and love was music to My ears.  And so it was done, according to My words.  The birth of Jesus, His ministry, His death by crucifixion, His being raised from the dead, His coming to sit down with Me in heaven, all of that was the beginning of My new covenant with humanity, the covenant of My Holy Spirit. Through the ministry of Jesus Christ, I was able to send His spiritual power of My Holy Spirit to live inside of people in an effort to create many sons and daughters being born after My image through which I can save the world from the curses of the devil. (Matthew 13:36-43)  
    My ears long for My children who can say like Mary, "Be it done to me according to your words, Heavenly Father."  It is through them that I can cleanse the world of the demons who pollute it and leave My children shining like the sun in the earth.

RESPONSIBILITIES FOR WOES

My Dear Precious Child,
   The history book of Lamentations is rarely consulted by someone who needs encouragement, guidance and faith for better days.  The lamentations of an individual and the nation of Israel in the poem relate to the multitude of woes, troubles, problems, griefs, destruction, calamities and curses which come upon people and their nations as a result of their leaving Me and looking to idols of some type to be their gods. The idols require evil actions from people which are contrary to My will for My children.  In that book, which is to be used by My children along with all scriptures, is to be an example of how I dealt with people in the past, always forgiving, always long suffering, always patient, but also My being unable to remove the veils over their minds from the outside.  It can only be done from the inside of their bodies when My Holy Spirit comes to live inside of them.  
   So the error in all of the old covenant books about Israel is that neither the people, the kings nor the priests knew My true character and so their assumption was that I am both good and evil, that I punish people for doing evil and rewarding them for doing good.  Part of the erroneous beliefs about evil is that under the old covenant the people believed that all of the evil that came upon them was from Me, that I tempt them and try them to test their faith, as well as that I am good, rewarding them for doing good.  The real culprit, the devil, had blinded the eyes of their understanding so that they could not place the blame for evil where it belongs, which is onto the devil himself and his demons. (II Corinthians 4:2-4) It is because of that veil that the devil placed over their minds that the demons are able to deceive people and make them slaves to the devil's evil ways. There are still people in your world who call themselves by My name who believe that both good and evil come from Me.  That is blasphemy, calling evil good and calling good evil. (Isaiah 5:20; Matthew 12:31)
    Not until My Holy Spirit comes to live inside of a person is he or she able to discern that evil only comes from the devil and good only comes from Me.  Jesus Christ told his disciples and others of His followers that when My Spirit came to live inside of people that He would reveal good, because Jesus came to live with Me, and that My Spirit would also reveal the origin of evil because the prince of your world, the devil, was already judged by Me at the beginning of the world.  (John 16:8-12)  When My Holy Spirit comes to live inside of a person, He is able to remove the veil placed over the person's mind that keeps the person from having revelations of My true character, which is Love.
   In the old covenant book of Lamentations the writer laments that I had afflicted him and his nation of Israel, that I watched constantly to catch them in sins, that I summoned an army against them to punish them, that I had trodden them in a wine press, that I had torn Israel down in anger, that I withheld help from them when enemies approached, that I destroyed the temple in wrath, that I had become an enemy and had consumed Israel, that I had multiplied the moaning and groaning of the people of Judah, that I had demolished the temple, that I had disowned My altar, that I had handed Jerusalem's towers over to its enemies, that I had brought grief to Judah, that I had sunk her gates, and that I had made kings and priests out of pagans.  The writer of Lamentations wrote that his eyes were worn out from weeping, that his gall was poured out onto the ground, that I had killed the children, that the prophets had false visions, that everyone hissed at the people of Israel and their country, and on and on and on the writer poured out his anger, his heart and his rage against Me. (chapters 1-chapter 4) 
   Even though the writer was filled with accusations about Me, yet he still asked that I would lead them back to Me so that their nation would be restored, giving them good days like they had occasionally enjoyed.  The writer ended his deep grief and mourning by again accusing Me of having rejected the nation of Israel and turned My wrath upon them.
   Such are the woes of the deceived person who has been led by the devil to believe that I am both good and evil because of the veil over the mind of the  person which will not allow the person to know My true personality.  Yet, My mercy endures forever.  I sent My Son Jesus Christ to die for all people because all people have sinned and fallen short of My glory because of the works of the devil in their lives.  The devil placed that veil over Adam's mind after Adam obeyed the devil and allowed him to flood the earth with his demons in order to curse the lives of people. That veil of unbelief is present over the minds of all people until they turn their lives over to Jesus Christ and become born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit.  Then, and only then, am I able to remove the veil of unbelief and begin to feed My wisdom and knowledge into the minds of My children. I reveal My character and I reveal the devil's character so that My children can discern good as being from Me and evil being from the devil.
   That is when the real adventure of living begins, when My light of the Holy Spirit reveals My character as Love and He reveals the Power of My Holy Spirit over the evil of the demons in the lives of all humanity.  Jesus Christ paid the price for the sins of the world and came to save the world, not to destroy it. (John3:16-17) There are no more lamentations of woes caused by the knowledge of their sin when all things become new in the life of a person. (Lamentations 5:16; I Corinthians 5:17) 
   When true living begins by the power of My Holy Spirit living inside of people who seek Me with their whole hearts, then there is rejoicing in the hearts of My children who intimately know Me and there is rejoicing in My heaven that a person who was lost has been found and brought into My family of Love.

WOES ARE THE PRODUCT OF VAIN THOUGHTS

My Dear Precious Child,
   I told the Israelites to put away from their lives all detestable things from their thoughts, their speech and their actions and return to Me instead of being loyal to things that are detestable in My eyes. (Jeremiah 4:1) If they did, with a determination to not stray again by worshiping idols, then they could confess that I live in truth, in righteous judgment, in justice and then all nations would glory in Me and even begin to use My name. (Jeremiah 4:2)  To be more specific, I told Judah and Jerusalem to till their ground where there were no thorns, meaning demons, and to circumcise their hearts by removing the foreskin that separated them from Me.  Circumcision was meant to be a spiritual exercise, removing the demons with which they had united.  It was those demons who had tempted them to rebel against Me. (Jeremiah 4:3)
   I told the people of Israel that their acts of idolatry had caused them to bind themselves to the devil and thus they would inherit My judgment for the devil and his demons by their becoming one in unity with their real enemies, the devil and his demons.  It was by osmosis that they inherited My judgment.  I never intended for My children to bind themselves to the devil and inherit his hell on earth.  Yet, throughout the history of mankind, thy have chosen to do his evil instead of choosing to do My good in their lives on earth.
   Jeremiah wrote that He complained to Me that I had deceived the people of Jerusalem, meaning the rulers, when I told them that they would have peace and instead the swords of war reaching into their souls. (Jeremiah 4:10)  I answered that winds of judgment came from  their own wickedness, that My desire all the time was to save them. (Jeremiah 4:14; John 3:16-17))  I asked them how long that their own HARMFUL  THOUGHTS would lodge evil judgments upon them.  The prophet David had earlier prayed that the words of his mouth and the thoughts of his heart would always be acceptable in My sight.  My Holy Spirit later was able to speak through the prophet Paul and outline what thoughts for people to allow into the minds.  (Psalm 19:14;Philippians 4:8)
    In Jeremiah's words of prophesy to Israel I told them that their conduct and misdeeds had done to them the evil that they were experiencing, and that they would continue to inherit destruction from hell as long as they followed the evil thoughts that came into their minds.  I said that bitter disaster that reached to their hearts had come upon them.  Jeremiah said that ruin after ruin was reported, that the whole land would lay wasted because of their entertaining thoughts from hell and followed the devil's instructions to do evil acts.  (Jeremiah 4:20)
   Then Jeremiah spoke the truth in saying that the people were foolish because they did not intimately know Me.  He said that they were senseless children with no real understanding from Me, that they were wise in evil ways but they did not know how to do good. (Jeremiah 4:22) They were doomed but still put on celebration clothes.  He said that their demonic lovers sought to destroy their lives.  
    My explanation for their tendency to do evil mirrored Job's profession in the poem when he said that he finally understood the reason for the curses that consumed his life, that it was because he knew about Me from other people but Job did not know Me personally. (Job 42:1-10)  Later, when Job knew Me personally, face to face by My revealing Myself to him, all of Job's blessings from me were restored.
   The truth revealed by Jeremiah was that the people of Israel also did not intimately know Me, not the king, the princes, the religious leaders or the politicians.  Because they did not really know Me, they obeyed the temptations from the devil to do his evil in the world.  They thought that I was both good and evil.  Not until Jesus Christ came into the world did people begin to know about My true character as being Love, that I was not good on one hand and evil on the other hand. The prophet James said that all good and perfect things come from heaven from Me, that in Me there is no shadow of turning from good to evil or evil to good.  (James 1:17) I am all good and there is no evil in Me.  All evil comes from the devil and his demons who were allowed by Adam to flood the earth with evil at the beginning of the earth when the devil deceived Adam into making him lord of the earth by usurping Adam's dominion of the earth that I had given to him.
   Jeremiah made it clear that the woes of the people of Israel came upon them because of their own rebellion and sins which came from their obeying the devil's temptations in their thoughts.  The devil was the instigator and the people became the facilitators of evil in the earth.  Death and destruction are the result.
    Become intimately acquainted with Me, one-on-one.  In knowing My true character, you will be more spiritually equipped to refuse the temptations from hell in your thoughts.

WOES CALL FOR REPENTANCE

My Dear Precious Child,
    Turning from doing evil deeds to people in the earth and returning to Me for My guidance and protection is called repentance.  It does not mean to throw yourself on your knees or face and appeal to Me.  There is no action of repentance in that.  Repentance is active.  It means to cease doing evil deeds to people and instead to begin to do loving, kind and good things to people in your life.  When you do evil things to people you are acting in reaction to temptations from the demons who curse the earth according to the devil's command.  The problem is that you are doing the devil's works for him in the lives of people when you obey his temptations, and his rewards are destruction and death. 
    I told your spiritual ancestors that in your world there are good Spirits from Me and there are also evil spirits from hell.  I said that you should always follow the guidance of My good Spirits to have a good life on earth.  When you only yield to the appeals in your thoughts to do My good and loving deeds, then you have declared your allegiance to Me.  Then, and only then, can you inherit good and beneficial gifts from Me in your life on earth.
   When you yield to doing the devil's deeds in reacting to his demons' temptations in your thoughts, then you are following the devil's guidance and you can only inherit his destruction and death in your life on earth because you have declared your allegiance to the devil.
   In Isaiah's vision into heaven, he saw that when you yield to the temptations of the devil, then you allow his demons to form a barrier between earth and heaven so that I can neither hear you nor can I answer your prayers because the devil has become lord of your life, being your father as Jesus told the political and religious men of his day.  (Isaiah 59:1-9; John 8:44)
    Hosea was one of the prophets that I sent to Israel in an effort to warn them about the woes that were going to come upon them and their nation if they did not repent and turn from their evil deeds to people and return to Me for My guidance.  Their evil deeds in relation to people had caused them to leave Me and My protection and caused them to cross the chasm into doing the will of the evil one in relation to people, mainly by oppressing the poor and becoming whores of iniquity by yielding to passionate lusts for power, sex or money.  Yielding to passionate lusts was in their DNA and someone in the lineage of My Savior that I was eventually able to send to earth needed to cleanse themselves of those generational demons so that the physical flesh of Jesus, through whom My salvation came to people, would be as pure as possible.  Yet, Israel continued to play the part of a harlot, a whore whose politicians and priests continually departed from Me and bound themselves to the devil. 
    Hosea named some of the sins of Israel at the time as being their unfaithfulness to Me and instead of binding themselves to Me, they loved the evil whores' temptations by yielding to them.  (Hosea 9:1, 7, 9, 15,17, Hosea 10: 13-14, Hosea 11:1-2)  I told them that because they persistent in their iniquities and refused to repent that their own counsel would devour them, that counselor being the devil because they obeyed his thoughts that he whispered in their ears.   (Hosea 11:6) 
   Even though My heart was pained at their rebellion, it was their own deeds that would reverberate against them because of the evil seeds that they had sown which always grow evil plants which turned and defeated them.  I told them that woes would come upon them when I was turned away from them by their evil actions forming a barrier between us.  (Hosea 9:12) I could no longer protect them from evil and I could no longer guide them onto the roads to the promised land of having heaven on earth.  The sins of the kings and priests that had consumed them and their punishment from hell were real, which was their choice when they oppressed the poor and adopted opulent lifestyles according to their pride and idolatry. 
    Hosea's revelation of My unconditional love for My children is revealed after his warning to the Israelites that their sins would consume them if they continued to worship idols and oppress the poor and disenfranchised people.  I spoke about how I drew My children to Me with bands of love.  (Chapter 11) However, My warnings to them were that the wise people should understand the prophesies of Hosea and prudently know them.  If so, those people would find the straight paths to Me in which they are to walk to receive My protection again, even while the followers of evil stumble.
    Consume the words of the prophesy of Hosea relating to a committed relationship between individuals and Me, described by Hosea as being much like a marriage.  Hosea's relationship with his harlot wife Gomer was a physical lesson about a spiritual truth.  Do not yield to idolatrous temptations to put political or religious leaders ahead of My loving guidance for you.  Do not yield to the temptations to love money and its curses that come to you when you seek it.  When you first seek My kingdom of God everything that you need, want or desire will be added to you by Me.   (Matthew 6:31-33; Ephesians 3:20)  
    Let people who have spiritual ears and spiritual eyes hear My warnings through the prophets relating to the woes that come upon people who oppress the poor and become spiritual harlots by becoming bound to the demon of idolatry of worship of money and the worship of opulent lifestyles through jealousy.  Woes of despair, grief and losing everything are the result.  Devastation and destruction are the devil's promise for his followers.  Life everlasting, plus righteousness, peace and joy are  My promises for My children.   It shouldn't be a difficult choice for My children.
    Your Loving, Forgiving Father

LUSTFUL PASSIONS PRODUCE WOES

My Dear Precious Child,
    Prophesies through the prophet Hosea were tinged with the events going on in the life of of Hosea at the time.  His wife had committed adultery and Hosea became a jealous lover who longed for his marriage to become whole, even though his wife Gomer was an adulteress.  My prophesies through Hosea to Israel reflect his own own unhappy marriage.  He related the sins of Israel to the sins of Gomer, her having been an adulteress with other men.  Hosea called Israel's idolatry and oppression of the poor by the name of "infidelity", relating to its evil actions being taken on the part of a prostitute by its turning away from Me and placing idols in My place.  One of Israel's infidelities was placing kings and princes in place without My guidance and My approval.  Those kings and princes allowed evil to govern their country. (Hosea 8:1-9) 
    Even though I was willing to restore the people of Israel to fellowship with me, their guilt stood out because of their wickedness.  (Hosea 7:1-2)  They had many kings in a few short years because the kings were murdered by other princes and inferior officials.  I told Hosea that the fires of passions burned heatedly in those officials, like the fire in a baker's oven. (Hosea 7:3-4)  I said that the princes were overcome with wine and they assembled like-minded plotters with hearts like ovens.  They slept at night but in the morning their anger flared like burning ovens.  They consumed their rulers and their kings fell, yet none of them called upon Me in their danger for My input and My guidance.  (Hosea 7:5-7)  Instead, they consulted with idols who had no power to do good, only to do evil. 
     I said through Hosea that woes would come upon the people because of their lust for power and their lust for many idols.  They cried upon their beds, but not for Me.  They howled because of their assembling around wine and then rebelling against Me.  Though I had strengthened them, they still imagined mischief against Me.  (Hosea 7:13-15)
    The people continued in their rebellion against Me, going after idols like a passionate man goes after a whore.  I said that their princes who had killed the kings would perish by the sword because of the insolence of their own tongues and that they would be mocked in the entire land of Egypt. (Hosea 7:16) 
    The lamentations of My heart concerning Israel and their desires to be always running toward idols instead of running to Me for My help is reflected in My heartfelt plea generations later by My Son Jesus Christ when He said, "Oh, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who killed the prophets and stoned the people I sent to you,  how often would I have gathered your children together like a hen gathers her brood under her wings;  yet, you would not!"   He spoke those words to the Jewish politicians, the Pharisees and lawmakers, who had rejected Me when I came to earth in the flesh of Jesus.  I told the Jews that their house would be desolate and that they would not see Me until they said, "Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord." (Luke 13:34-35)  Their house remains desolate even into your day except for the individual Jews who recognize Jesus Christ as My Son and the only way to their salvation.  Those individual Jews walk in newness of life through My new covenant of the Holy Spirit and they enjoy My kingdom of God in their lives on earth.  The nation of Israel, itself, is desolate even in your day.  Woes are still their judgments from hell because of their deeds of worshiping of national idols, their oppression of the poor and the sojourners, and their affection for war.  It is their own evil conduct and evil deeds from yielding to the temptations to worship national treasures that bring the devil's woes upon them.
    Don't make the same mistakes.  Like I told you, extreme national patriotism and partisan politics are a fruit of the flesh, not a fruit of My Holy Spirit.(Galatians 5:20)  Being a fruit of the flesh, they are passionate, burning hot ovens like the passions in the princes and officials of Israel that caused Hosea to prophesy woes which were to come upon them. (Hosea 7:13) Jesus Christ prophesied to the politicians and religious leaders of his day that the same woes would come upon them. (Luke 11:42-54)  The devil never changes.  He tempts people to make idols of their national laws and officials, all of which will die and pass away.  My kingdom of God is stable, secure and always the same with the Power of My Holy Spirit as its strength and its guidance. 
    David said, "Some people trust in the power of horses and chariots (national laws and weapons) but My trust is in the name of the Lord our God. (Psalm 20:7) let that confession also  be your confession.

WOES ARE THE RESULT OF EVIL CONDUCT AND DEEDS

My Dear Precious Child,
    In My prophesies to the nation of Israel under My old covenant with Abraham, which was through his lineage that My Son Jesus Christ would come into the world, there were times after times after times that the kings, priests and people of Israel broke our covenant by their uniting with the devil's evil that was in the world.  Through Ezekiel I gave an allegory about what happened when Israel united with Babylon and began to do the evil deeds of that country instead of Israel remaining pure and loyal to Me so that the human lineage of Jesus would be unadulterated.
    I told Ezekiel to tell this parable to the rulers and people of Israel to make known to them what they had done to inherit curses that would bring the woes of the devil into their lives.  I intended for the parable to be a visual representation to the Israelites about what had precipitated their inheriting woes in their lives.  The allegory is about cooking meat in a pot. (Ezekiel 24:1-8) I told them to visualize their getting a pot, putting water in the pot. putting meat into the pot, the best pieces of meat such as the thigh and the shoulder.  Then I told them to visualize putting wood underneath the pot, boiling the meat and the joints that that were in the meat.  I told them to take the meat out, one by one.  They poured the broth on a rock instead of on the ground to be covered by dirt.  
   Then I told them that their city of Jerusalem was like the broth in the pot, because they were a bloody city, having shed the blood of many people after I told them not to kill.  They had poured the blood of people onto a rock for all to see instead of pouring it out onto the ground to be covered with dirt.  The lewdness of their sins of idolatry and the whoredom of their women were putrid in My sight.(Ezekiel 23:43-49)  So the woes that were to come upon Israel was like the cooking of the meat, they joined with the invaders of Babylon in sinning against the very instructions that I had given to them. In other words, they were going to inherit the same boiling that they had done to other nations.  To demonstrate that, I told Ezekiel to tell the Israelite royalty that after their boiling broth had been poured out upon the rock, that a great bonfire would be built, the empty pot would be placed on the coals and all of the pot would be melted, yet the redness from the blood would not be removed.  That signified the evil with which the Israelites had perverted themselves when My intention for them was to be purified by Me rather than for them being perverted by the evil of the Babylonians, and so they would be judged by their own evil conduct and deeds.  The woes that would come upon them was not by My hand, but by their own hands. (Ezekiel 24:11-14)
   My fury and judgment that I had for the devil's and his works would be inherited by them because they had bound themselves to the devil and his works by joining with the evil performed by the Babylonians.  The results would be that the evil that they sowed in the earth would reverberate back upon themselves because of their evil deeds.  (Ezekiel 24:11-14)  It was their own evil conduct that caused their entire pot to melt and caused the devil's curses to come upon the people because of their uniting with evil instead of their choosing to become purified and protected by Me.
    My further prophesy through Ezekiel to Israel was that the city of Jerusalem would be destroyed by their enemies, the city that was the delight of their eyes, the stronghold of their pride, the desires of their soul.  (Ezekiel 24:15-23) Their future was not one that anyone would prefer.  Woes came into the lives of the people in the form of destruction and death because, as I said, of their own evil conduct and deeds.  
   Ezekiel had written the prophesy for Isreal that came into being.  When the city of Jerusalem fell to invaders, I sent notice to Ezekiel and on that day his dumbness went away and he could speak.  Ezekiel was a sign to the nation of Israel that I am Lord because My words came to pass.
   Woes are real because they are the result of choosing evil instead of good.  Because of My love for the earth and for people, I always send salvation to people.  First it was through prophets, then through Jesus Christ, then through My Holy Spirit who instituted My last and efficient covenant with humans because I came to live inside of them.  My children who participate in My complete and full gospel have the power of My Holy Spirit to individually hear My words and the power to follow them so that they will avoid the woes of the devil in their lives on earth.  Learn lessons from the woes that came upon the people of the old covenant which eventually became the law of sin and death when Jesus Christ came into the world and completed His ministry. The ministry of the Holy Spirit which produces My kingdom of God inside of people who choose life over death is My power which lives inside of them.  Jesus Christ through My Spirit said that My kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 14:17)  Avoid the devil's woes by being guided by My Holy Spirit and praying in My Holy Spirit, which is My new and last covenant with My children.  (Romans 8)

WOE TO A PROPHET AND THE PEOPLE

My Dear Precious Child,
    When I called Ezekiel to speak to the people of Israel for Me, I told him to stand up on his feet and talk to Me face to face.  When I spoke to him, My Spirit went into him and he stood up rather than his falling on his face or kneeling.  We conversed face to face.  I told him that I was sending him to speak to a people who had rebelled against Me and their fathers had revolted against Me.  I described the Israelites as being hard of face and obstinate of heart. I told him that he must tell them that I had sent him and that they would recognize him as being from Me. 
   I told Ezekiel that he should not fear the men for their words when they contradicted him and rejected him because they were like scorpions in the stings of their words. I told him to give the message to them that I told him to speak, and that they might resist or they might heed, but what they did was not his problem.  I said that he must obey what I commissioned him to do. Then I handed to Ezekiel a scroll with writings on the front and the back and written on it were lamentations, wailings and woes which would come upon the people if they did not heed My words. I told Ezekiel to eat all the words on the scroll, meaning to memorize them, which he did, and My words filled his belly and his stomach.  They were sweet as honey in Ezekiel's mouth.  I told him to go and speak the words to the people of Isreal in an effort to encourage them to return to Me and allow Me to soften their hearts to My instructions. (Ezekiel 3:1-11)  I repeated that he must speak My words whether they heeded or resisted My instructions, that their reaction was not up to him.
   When Ezekiel began his journey he was distraught with his commission, so I insured him that I had appointed to him to be a watchdog for the Israelites and that I would tell him the warnings.  My instructions were that when I gave to him the words for wicked men that they would die, if he did not give the warning to the men then he would be responsible for their deaths.  But if he did carry out My instructions, speaking My warnings to the men, then if they did not heed his words and turn from their wickedness, they would die in their sins and Ezekiel would live. That explained the importance of Ezekiel following My instructions. (Ezekiel 3:12-20) 
   I told him that if a virtuous man turned from his virtue and sinned, then he would die for his sins, and his virtuous actions would be forgotten.   But I warned Ezekiel that if he did not warn the man, as I instructed him, then he was responsible for the death of the man.  Also, if the virtuous man remained a virtuous man after Ezekiel warned him, then both of them would save their lives.  (Ezekiel 3: 21) 
    I sent Ezekiel on his way to carry out his commission.  I told him to go to his own house, to remain there, that I would make him unable to speak until it was time for him to speak My words and then I would loose his tongue.  I told him that he must not fret if the people did not obey My words because they were a rebellious nation.  I said that some people would heed his words and some people would resist his words, that he only needed to deliver the warning.  (Ezekiel 3:22-25) 
    In My instructions to Ezekiel I told him that the people who heeded his warnings and turned from their wicked ways, they would not have woes in their lives, but the people who resisted My instructions delivered through him would inherit woes, troubles, problems, lamentations and wailings, some inheriting even death because I was warning them to retreat from the devil's works and adopt My works of love and peace.
    I assured Ezekiel again that the choice that the people made on whether to repent from their wickedness or not was not up to him.  It was the choice of the individual people whether to inherit My blessings in their life or whether to inherit the devil's curses and woes in their life.  Ezekiel's duty was only to deliver the warning, not to convince them what to do.
   It's still the same in My kingdom of God.  It's the choice of some of My children whether to stop at salvation and enjoy only a promise of their spirits going to My heaven when their bodies die.  I offer to all people the opportunity to seek My kingdom of God in their lives on earth by seeking to become baptized in My Holy Spirit while they live on earth with the privilege of enjoying all of My inheritance while they live in the earth.  If they don't seek My kingdom in their lives on earth, they miss out on My miracles and My blessings while they live in the earth.  It is in the baptism of My Holy Spirit that My children begin to enjoy My heaven in their lives on earth.  Some people choose to only stop at being born of My Spirit and they will die without experiencing My heaven on earth.  They never choose the full gospel.  They only choose to become born of My Spirit with the assurance of their entering My kingdom of heaven when their bodies die.  The people who choose the full gospel, obeying the instructions of Jesus Christ to also become baptized in My Holy Spirit, they will enjoy having My heaven in their lives on earth as well as their spirits entering into My heaven when their bodies die.
    Choices do matter, whether they are choices in spiritual matters or merely in earthly matters.  You have the opportunity to enjoy heaven on earth by becoming born of My Spirit, baptized in My Holy Spirit, and then being guided by My Spirit and praying in intercessory prayers in My Spirit.  Choosing the entire good news of Jesus Christ brings heaven into your life on earth. 
   Refusing to choose to be born again will allow the devil to curse your whole life on earth with woes, and you will have hell on earth. 
   Only choosing to become born of My Spirit will assure you of your entering into My heaven when your body dies but you will have no power to overcome the devil's evil works in your life on earth. 
   Choosing to become baptized in My Holy Spirit and His power will afford you the opportunity to enjoy heaven on earth when you are guided by My Spirit and pray in My Holy Spirit because you will have the power to refuse the devil's temptations and only do what I guide you to do.
   Ezekiel's experiences did not stop with My commission of him.  He obeyed and enjoyed his life on earth by being afforded a vision into My new covenant which I eventually sent to earth in the person of Jesus Christ and My Holy Spirit.  I invite you to incorporate My full gospel into your life on earth.  You do not need to wait until your body dies to enjoy heaven.  You can enjoy heaven on earth by choosing everything that the life and death of Jesus Christ afforded for you.
