STAY AWAKE!
  
 ‘Stay awake and stand ready, because you do not know the hour 
when the Son of Man is coming.’  Matthew 25:13
  
 Where are My witnesses? Are you one of them?
 Can I count on you – for you, can count on Me!
  
 I hear the cries and know the misery of My people – 
 of the poor, the hurting, the outcast, the lost, the abandoned,
 the imprisoned, the abused, the exploited…
 and I, Your God, can tolerate it no longer.
  
 I gave you everything, and yet you follow Me not…
 You follow instead, the wiles and temptations of the Devil,
 who pulls you towards self-gratification,
 at the expense of the weak, the rejected, and Truth.
  
 But I Am your Saviour;
 The Devil, your Destroyer.
  
 I give you free will,
 but you give it to the one who can imprison you with lies.
 I give you love,
 But you return, with hate and denial.
  
 I prove Truth with deeds of love, miracles, and healings…
 but you buy into false promises, and sell your souls for nothing.
  
 The time is near, for the impasse has been reached.
 I will give My people food to eat, water to quench their thirst,
 and I will heal them.
 They can wait no longer, for the Innocent are bleeding.
  
 Return to Me before it is too late –
 on  a bended knee, with a truly repentant heart, 
 with a desire to forgive and be forgiven, 
 with a yearning for truth and love.
  
 Love can only be found in spirit and truth.
 I Am Spirit and Truth.
 And I love you…can you love Me?
