Let me know what you think.

Our Lord and Father

The Lord, our Father, the God of our ancestors, has sent word persistently to us through his messengers. He has had compassion on us and on his dwelling place. However, we keep mocking the messengers of God, despising his words, and scoffing at his prophets.
We have been asked to go forth and proclaim these words:
Return, faithless children to the Father, to the Lord, to the Faith of your ancestors. I will not look upon you in anger, for I am a merciful Lord and Father.
I ask only that you acknowledge your guilt, that you have rebelled against me, the Lord, Your Father, and Your God, and that you have not obeyed my voice.
Return, O Faithless Children, for I am your Father.
I desire that you return to your ancestral ways.
As you return, I will give you shepherds, after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.
I wanted to set you among my faithful children, and give you a pleasant land; the most beautiful heritage of all the nations.
I wanted you to call me, My Father and to not turn from following me.
I wanted you to honor your Father and your Mother, (the spirit and the earth).
But, you have continued to pervert your way. You have forgotten, the Lord, Your God and Father.
Return, O Faithless Children, I will heal your faithlessness.
Your ways and your doings have brought suffering and distress upon you. This is your doom: how bitter it is! It has reached your very heart.
You are foolish children; you do not know me.
You are ignorant children; you have no understanding.
You are skilled in doing evil, but do not know how to do good.
Your have a stubborn and rebellious heart; you have turned aside and gone away from the True teachings. You do not say in your hearts, "Let us love the Father, the Lord and our God."
You know no limits in deeds of wickedness; you do not judge with justice and you do not defend the rights of the needy.
It is an appalling and horrible thing that has happened in the land: Your prophets prophesy falsely, and the priest rule as the prophets direct; You my children seem to love to have it so, but what will you do when your end comes?
Take warning, or I shall turn from you in disgust, and make for you a desolation, an uninhabitable land.
To whom shall I speak and give warning, that you may hear? Your ears are closed. You cannot listen. The word of the Lord is to you an object of scorn: and you take no pleasure in it. From the least of you to the greatest of you, everyone is greedy for unjust gain; and from prophet to priest, everyone deals falsely.
You may not realize it, but you are standing at the crossroads. It is time to look, and ask for the ancient paths. It is time to find where the good way lies; and to walk in it, and to find rest for your souls.
Hear, O Earth, Disaster will come upon all these people as the fruit of their schemes,
because they have not given heed to my words. My teaching -- they have rejected it.
In the day that I brought forth your ancestors, I did not speak to them or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. But this command I gave them; "Obey my voice and I will be your God and you shall be my people." Walk in the ways that I have commanded you, so that, it may be well with you. Yet, they did not obey or incline their ear, but in the stubbornness of their evil will, they walked in their own counsels, and looked backward instead of forward.
From the day; your ancestors came to this land until this day, I have persistently sent all my servants, the messengers, to you, day after day. Yet you do not listen to me, or pay attention. You stiffen your necks. You do worse than your ancestors did.
Do not let it be said of you: "This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the Lord, their God and did not accept discipline. Truth has perished from them; it is cut off from their lips."
Amend your ways and your doings and let me dwell with you in this place.
Do not trust in these deceptive words: "This is the Temple of the lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord."
If you truly amend your ways and your doings: If you truly act justly one with another. If you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, and the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place; and if you do not go after false gods to your own hurt; then I will dwell with you in this place, in the land that I gave to you and your ancestors forever and ever.
How can you say, "We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us", when, in fact, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie? What I gave them has been perverted and the truth has passed away from them.
For the hurt of my poor children, I am hurt, I mourn, and dismay has taken hold of me.
You bend your tongues like bows. Your have grown strong in the land for falsehood and not for truth. You proceed from evil to evil. You do not know me.
You all deceive your neighbors. No one speaks the truth. You have taught your tongues to speak lies. You commit inequity and are too weary to repent.
Oppression upon oppression, deceit upon deceit! You refuse to know me!
I will now refine and test you, for what else can I do with my wayward children?
Shall I not punish you for these things and shall I not bring retribution on a nation such as this?
Who is wise enough to understand this?
Do not let the wise boast in their wisdom. Do not let the mighty boast in their might. Do not let the wealthy boast in their wealth.
But, let those who boast -- boast in this: that I am -- the Lord; that I act with steadfast love, justice and righteousness upon the earth. In these things I delight.
(I am -- is the True God; he is the Living God and the everlasting King. He is our Father. He is the Lord who formed all things.)
If you say in your heart; "Why have these things come upon me?" Know it is for the
greatness of your iniquity.
This is your lot, the portion I have measured out to you because you have forgotten me and trusted in lies.
Your prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I did not send them not did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own minds.
Both the prophet and priest ply their trade though out the land but they have no true
knowledge. They do not know me.
This I declare to you:
1. If you turn back, I will take you back and you shall stand before me.
2. If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless, you shall serve as my
mouth. It is others who will turn to you and not you who will turn to them.
3. Blessed are those who trust in me.
4. I will test the mind and search the heart, to give to all according to their ways,
according to the fruit of their doing.
I am setting before you the way of life and the way of death.
I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings and I will reward you according to the fruit of your doings.
Act with justice and righteousness. Do no wrong or violence to anyone and do not shed innocent blood.
If your priest and the prophet had stood in my council, then they would have proclaimed my words to my children and they would have turned them from their evil ways and from the evil of their doing.
I am -- a Father, a God nearby and not a Father or a God far off.
Let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream, but let the one who has my word speak my word faithfully.
This is what you should ask one to another;
"What has our Father, the Lord answered?"
"What has our Father, the Lord spoken?"
But "The burden of the Lord" you shall mention no more! The burden is everyone's own word because you have perverted the words of the Living God, the Lord of Hosts, our God and our Father.
I have set my eyes upon you for good.
I have given you a heart to know that I am.
I am your Lord. I am your Father.
You are my children and I am your Father.
To return home you must return to me with your whole heart. This is the only way.
I have spoken persistently to you. Now it is time for you to listen.
Do not go after false gods to serve and worship them. But know that you cannot
provoke me with the work of your hands. I will do you no harm. You reap the fruit of
your own doing.
Surely I know the plans I have for you. Plans for your welfare and not for harm to give
you a future with hope.
When you come to me. When you call upon me and pray to me, I will hear you.
When you search for me with your whole heart, you will find me I will let you find me.
I am with you always. I have loved you with an everlasting love.
I have continued my faithfulness to you.
I am -- the Father, the God of all the families of the earth.
Know that there is a reward for your work -- there is a hope for your future.
Set up road markers for yourself.
Make for yourself guide posts.
Consider well the highway, the road by which you have traveled.
I have put my law within you and have written it upon your hearts. I am your God and
you are my children.
No longer should you teach one another or say to each other; "Know the Lord", for each of you know me, from the least of you to the greatest.
I am -- the Father, the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything to great for me?
You are my children and I am your Father, your God. I will give you one heart and one way that you may love me for all time.
For your own good and the good of your children after you, I have made an everlasting covenant:
I will never draw back from doing good to you.
I will put the love of me in your children's hearts, so that they may not turn from
me.
I will rejoice in doing good to them, and I will plant them in this land in
faithfulness, with all my heart and all my soul.
When you call to me, I will answer and will tell you great and hidden things that
you have not known.
Call to me and I will answer. I will bring recovery and healing. I will heal you and
reveal to you an abundance of prosperity and security.
Signed,
"I AM"
Give thanks to the Lord of Host, for the Lord is good. His steadfast love endures forever!
