The Lord began giving me this during a Bible Study where I was burdened for the body of Christ. Ask yourself what I have found myself asking…Why do we believe what we believe? Have we simply listened to what’s been told to us..or have we sat at the feet of Jesus and studied His Word? Do we listen more to man and human commentaries rather than searching feverishly through the scriptures for HIS truth…rather than a version of the truth?  Do we watch and pray? Do we know where we are in the world? Why did He tell us over and over in His Word..watch and pray. Do we see deception, or have we simply sold out to it?  Generation after generation has passed down error, man made prophecies, human teaching and preaching. Almost to the point that this is all we know to be normal. Do you see the enemy at work? Years of planning..he is patient.  Do you see the lukewarmness of the church? We are full of pride. Are you close to Jesus daily..that when calamity comes…you know what to do..and who to trust? For He warns us over and over about the 10 virgins…5 were ready..and 5 were not….which 5 are we? Watch and pray…

Undiscovered truth is speaking
Hidden in plain sight
A people led by great deception
A darkness covered light.

Called by one who’s holy
Or are they really, so it seems?
For in the valley of the dry bones
Is lost identity.

For lack of knowledge we perish
Believing in man’s words
Worship with itching ears
To hear the already heard.

No hope, lost,  Wandering
Do we see the bridled tongue?
The soothsayer of the guilty
Mystified by the evil one.

Answers are unraveled
going deeper with the SON
For our hope lies in a thread
That appears red as blood.

Born to false security
Study to “shew approved”
What if all that’s heard
Are merely lies consumed?

Believing there are many
Yet told there are few
A trumpet’s set to sound
Some will hear “I never knew”.

Infiltration is very high
Wearing a web of misuse
Blinded at the tightening
Of an invisible noose.

Listen to THE TEACHER
And let Him clear the eyes
Filter all the rest for redemption draweth nigh..

Matthew 25

¹Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

²And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

³They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

⁴But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

⁵While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

⁶And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

⁷Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

⁸And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

⁹But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

¹⁰And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

¹¹Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

¹²But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

¹³Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
