                         Stand and Be Still

The truth is not hidden under rocks, nor blown by the wind. So why do 
people chase these things and follow these ways?  Be on the lookout.  
Different beliefs are pouring upon the earth.  Different teachings are being 
taught and many are following in this way.  They are led astray and wonder 
the earth searching and following.  One will choose one way, another will 
choose a different way.  Their choices will come from what they want to hear, 
but this will not be the way of the truth.

I have said, there is only one you should worship in Spirit and in truth and
I am not elusive and I am not carved.  I am not hard to hold, I will not 
force, I will not lead you astray.  My way is clear and is before you.  Many 
teachings will be heard, and many will be followed.  This is a time to 
recall all that I have promised you, to recall the words of truth that have 
been planted in your heart, and to beware of the voice of the enemy who will 
try to tell you different.

Those who are standing and are still, are standing in Me, rooted to the 
truth.  When false teachings pour across the land and entice with their 
false promises, their eyes and their hearts are focused on Me.  They know My 
voice and they wait for Me, despite what others are doing.  Follow Me, 
despite what comes your way, follow Me and know that I am aware of the 
movements on the earth, I am aware of the leading astray, I am aware and I 
see, and there are some that will go one way and some that will go the other 
way, but as for you, follow Me.

You will know when these things happen.  You will hear My voice saying "This 
is the way, walk in it."  Do not look to the left or the right and do not be 
tempted.  Remember, you will not be tempted beyond your endurance and you 
will be given a way out.  The way is through Me.  Stand firm in what you 
know, and do not be swayed.  Be rooted in My word and lean on Me and trust 
in Me, for I have you in the palm of My hand and I have called you by name.

Stand firm in the turmoil and be still.  I am with you in hard times and in 
good times.  I am always with you.  Do not become complacent, be on your 
guard and stand ready, for a battle will come and you have the armor to 
withstand all the darts of the enemy.  Many will fall, you will stand 
because I will enable and strengthen you.
