"Yes, My people have become 'dull of hearing'. They cannot hear Me. They only (will) listen to a (dumb) leader, such as themselves. Dumb and dull...dead and dead.
They are dead in My eyes. Yes. Dead to Me. Dead to My ways. Dead to My voice. (Why?) They have let another take My place.
They (My people, My chosen ones, My elect, My sheep, My children) have (indeed) forsaken Me! They have left Me. They have gone away. They are gone. They are dead. They are 'dead' to Me, as it were.
They have gone away and followed another. They no longer seek Me. They no longer care.
Their hearts are hardened. They are lost. They are deceived. They are blinded. They are drowning in the mire. (mires)
They are willfully ignorant now. They have despised Me...and My ways; as well as My word(s).
They have become (as) a laughing stock. They are but 'clowns' in a circus. They are laughed at, and scoffed(at).They deserve the mockery and the cruelty, for they are Not Mine.(!)
They have distanced themselves from Me. They do things 'on their own'. They do NOT honour Me. No!
They have strayed and gone after their lusts.

8:57am
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord shall deliver them form them all."
The (true) righeous will suffer. My true children will be afflicted. If you follow and pursue Me, you will be noticeably afflicted. You will suffer!
The road is hard. The way is difficult. To seek Me is a hard thing. Yes, My ways are not of this world! I am not as 'one of you'...I am above - above the fray, so to speak.
***************************************
I am above the earth and all it's ways. MY ways are NOT your ways, says the Lord.
***************************************
Yes, yes - yes - you will suffer and be afflicted, if you choose to follow Me.
There is a *price* to pay; to be My disciple.(If there were no *pain*, there would be no reward, says the Lord.) The *pain* can be in the form of rejection.
I was rejected.
I was despised.
I was lonely.
I was rejected of men, and often alone.
I cried alone, often.
My way(s) are NOT your ways ---says the LORD!
You may 'assume' you are 'following ' Me ---but you are NOT! I am NOT as one of you; I am Not as you depict (portray, announce, preach) Me!
****************************************
Listen! Listen! Even though this life is a life of loneliness, hardship, betrayal and rejection....the reward is great.
****************************************
The *reward* is the friendship. My friendship. My companionship. My love. My presence. My glory. My healing. My deliverance. My freedom. My glory. My loyalty. My security. My salvation.
-pause-
Yes, with any consecration to Me, there will be a price.
The price of your *loneliness* will be rewarded...with My undiluted presence. I will show Myself to you...I will show Myself strong....to those who have shown Me their true hearts.
I will show My signs...My *wonders*....My mysteries...My omens...My miracles...My healings....My *light shows*...My giftings...My signs in the skies....My signs upon the earth...My signs in your lives....
Yes--yes--yes--yes--yes...this is My promise.
*******************************************************
These days are days of woe...yes--great turbulence...BUT--these days are also days of joy--days of peace---days of personal peace--days of great peace (in your hearts).
----> Yes--amidst the great affliction(s) --will be great peace. I will reward My humble ones with great peace.
Yes--I grant great peace and greater joy...to those who have been afflicted.
--> to those *forgotten*ones...
-->to those afflicted mercilessly...
-->to those betrayed and wounded...
--> to those *tossed aside* and forgotten...
--> to those *hated* by the church systems and cast out...
--> to those rejected and silenced...
--> to those maligned; tossed to the wolves...
--> to those who tried and failed...
--> to those accused (falsely accused) and lied about...
--> to those who were deemed 'worthless'...
--> to those betrayed cruelly; even by family....
--> to those *left behind*: by their own *bosom* (close) friends...
--> to all the *lost*, hurting sheep...
--> to all the sheep without a shepherd...
--> to all My lost sheep; those without a leader--those wihtout a pastor...
those without a church...those whothout a fellowship...those without a templ...those without a friend....
--- I see you.
---I hear you.
---I will help you.
You are NOT forgotten. You are NOT ignored by Me, says the LORD!
Yes, I have hidden Myself...for a time. I have hidden, as it were. As it was.
I have hidden My face; I have hidden My voice. I have hidden My hands. i have hidden My feet.
Your sins have separated Me from you, says the Lord.
You know that. You know.
Deep in your heart(s)...you know that is true.
******************************************
I will NOT compete. I will not be 'second best'. I will not be 'second choice'.
Repeat...I will not be (your) second choice, says the LORD! (angry)
**************************************
**************************************
9:23am
How many times...how many times do I have to say this...says the LORD!
Stop twisting. Stop twisting My words. Stop using my words for your uses. Stop the desecration.
Stop the defilement. Stop the blasphemous use of My Word(s). When you turn My words into your (political and) personal use---you are defiling My words, says the LORD.
Stop.
Stop.
ENOUGH."
