The Lord Is Jealous For His Beloved
 

She will chase her lovers, but not overtake them; Yes, she will seek them, but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.' For she did not know that I gave her grain, new wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold— which they prepared for Baal. (Hosea 2:7-8)

There is yet to come a time of grave distress, and you must know and understand how to stand with Me in the midst of it all. Those who seek their own way will not understand My hand of provision and deliverance in such times. Yet, those who know their Lord will do great exploits on behalf of My great and mighty Name.
I will reveal Myself through a people who long to reveal Who I Am, and not who they are. I will be seen by all throughout the land, but not all will come to Me. They will scorn Me for the distress and loss that will come upon many. They will despise the mention of My name, for I will not be to them the God who delivers, but the God who takes captive. They will not understand My ways, nor know that it is due to My undying love, that I will allow all they hold dear, aside from Me, to be as nothing before My eyes.
I Am a God that longs to embrace those who would simply come to Me for all their needs. I Am not a God who changes, or ignores the cries of His children. For My heart pities those in need of My arm of deliverance and strength. I will not close My ears to those who seek Me with a true heart of knowing Me and My ways.
I so long to hold My beloved and show her that I Am all that she has been searching for, if she would but come to My chambers, and allow Me to adorn her with My love. Oh the joy that she would know, unlike any she has known before. There is much I long to show her of Who I Am and how very much I love her, yet she refuses to come to Me, but runs after another who cannot satisfy her longings. I have got to show her that there is no other that can love and care for her as I do.
I alone Am God, and I do not change!
Therefore, she must understand the bitter heartache that comes to those who long for the arms of another. She must know that I alone can satisfy her every need, and truly she will know that I have done this, when the time comes. I will take away her lovers and that which she embraces outside of Me. No longer will I watch as she blatantly turns away from Me, and runs after those who have no power to deliver, no strength to hold her up, and no love that causes her fears to be as nothing.
I will do this, and must, for the time has come for her to know that I alone can deliver, I alone have the power, and that My love alone can cast out all her fears. Surely the time is upon you.
For those who know My Name…know, that you will be safe from the coming storm.

"I will betroth you to Me forever; yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and justice, in lovingkindness and mercy; I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, and you shall know the LORD. It shall come to pass in that day that I will answer," says the LORD; I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth. The earth shall answer with grain, with new wine, and with oil; they shall answer Jezreel. Then I will sow her for Myself in the earth, and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; then I will say to those who were not My people, ‘you are My people!’ and they shall say, You are my God!" (Hos.2:19-23)

 
All For His Glory,
