My Kingdom is at Hand

By My Spirit, saith the Lord, shall I speak to My people. They shall sing of My glory who hear My voice. They shall be filled with rejoicing who behold My countenance. They shall bring their offerings of praise, and I shall bless them out of the riches of My heart. The more they bless Me, the more will I honor them. They shall walk in a path of delight who are pure of heart. Joy is the natural climate of heaven, and My chosen ones who delight in Me shall have a full portion even now.

Be prepared for Me, for I shall come unto thee in a blinding splendour, and ye shall not be able to bear it if ye have been regarding the darkness about thee. Look above the present scene, for to dwell on the confusion of the world would unfit thee for the revelation of heaven. You are not going to be here much longer, and no one spends time nor thought on what is soon to be left behind.

Abundantly have I blessed you. Thy gratitude for this is fitting. But there are far more wonderful things that I am about to do for you, so keep thy heart free and thy mind stayed upon Me. The Great Revelation is unfolding, and the ushering in of My Kingdom is at hand. I would prepare thee. I have truth to give thee that is vital to this hour. Ye need to receive it now so that ye shall not be perplexed.

It shall indeed be a dark hour for the world, and humanity shall be enshrouded in a darkness such as in the days of the flood. This shall be an even greater darkness, and there shall be anguish and travail. But out of this shall come a new age - of righteous­ness and of peace, and all creation shall struggle in travail until it be brought forth.

But I am lifting My chosen ones even now into a realm of glory and revelation. Yea, I am bringing forth a special unique creation. It shall be as Noah and as Lot, even the righteous rem­nant which shall be delivered out of destruction.

For judgment must fall upon sin and all ungodliness. Evil must be purged and put away. But I will always have a witness, saith the Lord, and I will not forsake My people who put their trust in Me. The greater the judgment, the greater the deliver­ance; and the greater the darkness, the greater the glory. The greater the lie, the greater the Truth.

These are going to be Glorious days for you, My chosen. (And this has been a mutual choosing. If the world would choose Me now, I would usher in My Kingdom now, even as in the days of Jesus' earthly ministry. Israel had then the opportunity to ac­cept her Messiah. Having rejected, judgment ensued. So it is today. Mankind has had nearly two thousand years to accept My grace and My forgiveness and salvation. Having rejected, doom is inevitable.)

This is the night of man's rebellion and disobedience. Ye are beginning to see the fulfillment of the second Psalm. But in this night, the door shall be opened. It shall be opened by the Bridegroom, and they who are watching, and they who have main­tained their lamps of witness shall go in. Others shall see and shall desire to enter, but shall be too late.

See that thy witness not cease. Only as ye have a full supply of My Spirit can the fire of testimony be kept alive. They who hold darkened lamps could scarcely be unbelievers; for the lamp is My Word. My Word without My Spirit can produce no witness. The fire is the witness, and the fire cometh never from the Word alone, but always from the Word and the oil of the Spirit. See that ye lose not the oil. When those who possess the oil have been taken away, where shall ye go to buy?

Be filled, My people, and be burning, for when I come I shall come for the living, not for the dead; for the Living Witness I shall preserve to carry the light over into the Kingdom Age.
