During this time, the two covenants with the Antichrist will happen.  They are false covenants.  He breaks covenant and fulfills Daniel 12:11.  During this time, many will be purified and made white, many will be tried, but the wicked will increase in wickedness.  The wise will understand what is going on.  Those who will not walk in wisdom are being deceived and are falling away.  The son of perdition is being revealed.  He is the one who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped.  He sits in the temple of God pretending that he is God.  I want to speak plainly to you.  He sits in the spiritual temple - our being, as well as the physical temple - the house of God.  Be sure you are not pretending that He is God in you or in your church, but in reality He really is not.

Children of the Most High God, be careful that you do not break covenant with God half way through.  Do not promise Him you are going to do something, start it, and then right in the middle of it, back out.  This equals complete and a half, and is not true obedience.

Go all the way through to the end of what He is calling and asking you to do, by faith. I know the church has been infiltrated.  I know the Antichrist is sitting in My house pretending to be God.  Be wise and understand the times.

I have already provided redemption, salvation, and restoration. At the same time, the enemy is trying to set up his covenants.  How so?  By trying to make God's children stop praying and worshipping, trying to pluck us out of God's hand, trying to deceive some; making them believe they have backslidden or that they are going backwards because they did not do x or y.  He is also trying to forcefully drag some back at night through their dreams while they are sleeping and some throughout the day with tormenting thoughts.  In Psalm 2:4 the enemies (our flesh and mind) say where is God, why is he not coming through for me?  Remember, He has already provided redemption, salvation, and restoration.  Our salvation is not by works.  We are saved through faith (Romans 10:8-17).  So we do not need to concern ourselves with what we did or did not do today.  We only need to come to the throne asking for forgiveness, receiving cleansing, mercy, and grace.

Do not fall away.  It is your CHOICE because no man or no evil spirit can pluck you from My Hand or separate you from My love.  You were saved by grace through faith, not by how much you did or did not do today.  You abide in my salvation by believing in Me and knowing that I will keep those who want to be kept.  I know the enemy tries to tempt, seduce, lure you to dance with him, to come back to him, back into old ungodly fellowships - in churches, and with people, places, and things.  He tries to forcefully pluck and move you out into the deception that you have backslidden, and that you are not in My Grace.  It is a trick.  Renew your mind according to My word.  To dwell in the secret place, you must make it so.  Make me your dwelling by establishing it so! 

The next three to 11 years are crucial.  I encourage you to set up checkpoints at 3 and 7 years.  These are half way check-ins for you to see what you are building.

Ezra rebuilt the temple already.  Solomon's temple was built, destroyed and then rebuilt.  We also had Herod's temple following these same patterns.  Be sure and make no mistake about what you are building.  Truly I say to you just as Jesus said in Matthew 24:2, if you are building temples and church buildings, they will be destroyed.  Jesus himself prophesied this.  He said that not one stone will remain in the end time.  It is the end time.  How do we know?  This same passage of scripture tells us they will say "this is God" (referring to what they are building).

Do not be deceived about what you are building.  You are building streets and walls now, not temples and buildings.  The streets are places you will equip the people of God to travel on to get where He wants them to be, and the walls support and protect where you are going, who can come with you, and who can get in and out.  Daniel had a burden for the restoration of the church, repentance of sins, and salvation because of the great sacrifice of Jesus Christ.  What is your burden?

Let us look at Nehemiah.  He had a burden to rebuild Jerusalem.  We need to have the same burden; to rebuild Jerusalem.  When I speak of Jerusalem, it equals home. In all your building, build a flat roof at home.  In Biblical times, houses were built with flat roofs or booths depending on the Bible translation.  The roof was used for taking care of fruit and as an extra room to worship God (Nehemiah 8:16). My husband and I built our flat roof several years ago.  It's a small start but it is an altar at which we can pray and worship God.  We are looking forward to an entire room to pray, praise, and worship.  Remember, the enemy is trying to destroy the daily sacrifices of confession of sin, repentance, prayer, praise and worship (Daniel 12:11, Dan 9:27).  If you find yourself, without your daily sacrifice, know that you may be entering the false covenant with the enemy, aware or not aware.  For this is the destroying terror spoken of in Daniel 9:27.  I am not talking legalism here, but I am saying make a conscious effort each day in the way God leads you.  A day should not go by without you saying something to the Lord, and allowing Him to say something to you.

Leaders, you are half way there, do not stop being true to God.  Please encourage those God has entrusted to you to do the same.  If you hold on till the end, you will be blessed.  I encourage you to be faithful to the Lord, be wise, and understand the times.  For these are the end times, and the times of half covenants, false covenants, false christs, false prophets, counterfeit powers of seduction, and destruction.   They abound and come to tear down and pull us and those in our care away from God.  What is their purpose?  They propose to put an end to the goodness that is coming, and to the vision of appointing our temples as the Most Holy Place.

For wisdom into the times see:  Daniel 9, Daniel 12:1-2, 10-12, Nehemiah 3, 4, Nehemiah 8:14-17, Psalm 2:4-5, Psalm 42, Psalm 91:9, Matthew 24, Ephesians 2:8, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, Revelation 3:10, Revelation 7:14.

Lovingly and wisely,
