The Day of Elijah, and the Curse

Days of Elijah, and the Curse
8/5/06
“This is a time when I am turning the hearts of men to their children and wives, and the hearts of the wives and families to their men. Why did I specifically point this out in Malachi 4:5,6 ? Why is this admonition tied to a curse? Could it be that I looked down the corridors of time to see an episode in the history of the Church when men would not only forsake their families, but encourage others to forsake them as well? Yes, I looked, and I saw. I sent My Word all these years ahead of time to speak of the Days of Elijah when families would be re-established as a priority, for I knew that the hearts of men would be tempted with the coldness of the world. And I am a Father, of which every father on the earth is a type. And I am warm. No, I am more than warm; I am hot. I passionately love families and the begetting of life. Each child has the DNA of My Spirit in him and the potential to live his life to the glory of his God. Each life is important and to be loved and nurtured in the admonition of the Lord. There is no life which would make a worthy sacrifice for the work men are called to do. My Son’s life is the one and only sacrifice needed. To form a culture of forsaking families is what will bring a curse upon your ministry.

What would a New Testament curse look like? Do curses come from God in the Age of Grace and Forgiveness? Yes, they do. The curses of old still remain until the New Jerusalem comes down upon the earth (Rev 22:3). The curse of the law is the only curse done away with. I do not like to threaten Man with a curse. Yet I am just and do not chasten My people without first telling them what I expect from them, and warning them of the consequences of their disobedience. Sanctify Me in your midst. Act like Me. Love like Me. Care for each other like I care for you. Do not show partiality. Do not hide your dirty deeds from each other but walk in the integrity of sins confessed and forgiven. Do not resent the burdens of those who have wives and children, for the admonition is to carry one another’s burdens. There is no law against love.

Those who hold to the tradition of works at the expense and sacrifice of family, and teach others to do the same, will be held guilty of the greater offense. Those who lead men to forsake the care and nurturing of their wives and children will be held responsible for the judgment they have led those men into. See My fire is at the door to burn away the wood, hay, and stubble. Build with precious stones. What are the precious stones? People are My treasured possession (Mal. 3:17 & Rev 17:4). There is no ministry anywhere on My earth who will not be examined for their care of My people.”
