My People Perish - Star Purswell

From The Vine
"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me,
and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing." John 15:5

Oh, Lord, what shall we do? We not only don’t have a vision of the work that You want us to do, we're falling to pieces because we thought You were going to use us! You said, "Where there is no vision, the people perish"…(Proverbs 29:19)

"My child, you do err, not rightly dividing the word of truth. I have not set you on this earth to run to and from seeking to fulfill your own selfish spiritual ambitions, but to further the gospel and to fellowship with Me. Why do you continually try to impress others with your knowledge? Did you not understand that I said your carnal mind is an enemy to Me? I have told you that in the last days knowledge shall increase, (Dan. 12:4) You have taken this and run with the idea that you are acquiring much spiritual knowledge, by running to all of your bible studies and hearing what the great teachers have to tell you about their revelations, supposedly from Me, but you are deceived! I have not sent them! They prophesy out of the evil imagination of their own heart!"

"First of all, you don't perish for lack of a vision of the ministry I have for you, but rather, you perish for LACK OF THE REVELATION KNOWLEDGE OF MY WORD, revealed to you by My Spirit! I know that you do not have the love of God in you, and you don’t have My word abiding in you! You have even searched the scriptures, and the very words that you are reading testify of Me. You think in My word you have eternal life, and you won't come to Me that you might have life! I don't receive honor from men. I came in My Father's name and you won't receive Me, but if one of your friends comes in his own name, then you accept him as a teacher sent from Me. I say unto you, that unless you repent, stop glorifying men, and going to others for My words, that when I come, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. I will tell you that I never knew you. (Matt.7:21) I've called and called you, but you won't stop your running."

"The knowledge that will increase that I spoke of will only destroy you in your own vanity. I told you in II Tim. 3:5-7, that you are ever learning, and never coming to the knowledge of the Truth. Also, that you have a form of godliness, but you deny My power. I have the power to give you life and life everlasting. You have asked Me to save you, but you refuse to go to My word and ask for revelation, so that I can reveal Myself to you."

"How long will you play your games and prophesy in My name when I didn't send you? How long will you lay your empty hands on empty heads in My name, and say that you have My anointing? You have not My Spirit, until you repent of your whoredoms! You have played the whore with all of your lovers, and have forgotten Me! I AM the one that saw you when you were despised and rejected from your mother's womb, and left to die in your own blood and filthiness! I picked you up, and cleansed you and you were renown to the heathen because of the beauty that I gave you, and now you continue to play the whore! Listen, adulterous wife, and repent! You are worse than your sisters, Sodom and Samaria, for you justify them in all of their pride and sins!" (Ezek. 16)

I have made provision for you. When you repent from all of your witchcraft, pride, and continuing in all of your religious exploits, then will I forgive you. But first, you must realize what you are doing and remember Me, and call upon My name! Look into My word, and ask Me to teach you in my perfect law of liberty. Then will I take your sins and throw then as far as the east is from the west, into the sea of forgetfulness to be remembered no more, and I will restore you!" (II Chron. 7: 14, 15)

Even through all of your adulteries, I will comfort you and allure you, and call to you in your wilderness of sin. You have called Me Baali, my lord, as you have called all of you other gods, but in the day that you repent and call upon My name, then you shall call Me Ishi, My Husband! In that day, you will be restored to me, and I will forgive you. I am the Light of the world!" (Hosea Ch.2)

How can we say how very sorry that we are, for all of the abominations that we've committed, Lord, Jesus? Did we really ever have a vision, or simply think we did? How can your people come to you and no longer be a reproach to You? Please forgive, Father! Show us what to do!

"First, come unto Me and turn from your evil ways. Turn to My word, and ask for Divine revelation from Me! Stop persecuting my anointed and don’t continue to do harm to My apostles and prophets who desire that you know the Truth, for I have sent them in My name, to speak the Truth to you. Many of you say that the very ones that I have sent to you are not full of My love. But, I tell you that My anointed ones love you with My love, and they are willing not only to be locked up, but to be put to death for My sake, in order that you might know Me. How much more love could they have than to be willing to lay down their lives for you? I sent then to you for your benefit so that you will repent, turn, and increase in Me, and continually abide in My word. Listen to them and learn from them, for they are sent to mature and instruct the body, so that you will be rooted and built up in Me! They truly love you, for they truly love Me! This is the proof of My love for you…I sent them to you!"

"Go to My word and study to show yourself approved unto Me, not men, being a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of Truth. (II Tim. 2:15) Had you rightly divided My word, you would have understood that You perish for lack of revelation knowledge of My word, but if you keep My word, then are you happy!"

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall you call upon Me, and you shall go and pray unto Me, and I will hearken unto you. And you shall seek me, and find Me when you shall search for Me with all of your heart." (Jer. 29:11-13)

"For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel. For I AM the Lord: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall no more be prolonged; for in your days, Oh rebellious house, will I say the word and perform it, saith the Lord God. Again the word of the Lord came to me saying, Son of man, behold they of the house of Israel, say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesied of the times that are far off. Therefore SAY unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; there shall none of My words be prolonged, any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord God." (Ezek. 12:24-28)

Thank You Jesus, for Your sweet correction. We know that if you did not chastise us, then we would be bastards and not sons. Lord, we receive your instruction, and we thank You for showing us Your Divine Truth. You are Truth. We shall not perish, for you are our vision and soon we will see Your plan for our lives.
