WORD OF THE LORD

​ISAIAH 5:4
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE MORE TO MY VINEYARD,
THAT I HAVE NOT DONE IN IT? WHEREFORE WHEN I LOOKED THAT IT SHOULD BRING FORTH GRAPES, BROUGHT IT FORTH WILD GRAPES?

Have those who are called by my name really prepared a place for me that I may abide? Do you that are called by my name really seek to do my will and my purpose? Is this really what you call a heritage for me? Have my children really prepared themselves truly a living sacrifice holy and acceptable? Am I to accept sacrifices who say with their mouths they love me, but their hearts are far from me? Are the prayers a sweet aroma? Should I give ear to prayers of covetousness? How have my people loved a heavenly reward without partaking of the sufferings of the cross! Daily calling upon me without supplication. A daily walk with the adversary while partaking of my good pleasures. How can this be acceptable unto me? I say, be not deceived, yet my children go the way of deception.. They see with their own eyes, yet they do not see nor do they surrender unto me. They hear and yet they do not hear because they have itching ears for the other one. They make excuses as to why they cannot surrender their whole life. Daily they deny with their actions and I also will deny them before my father. My people go into captivity because they refuse my counsel though the vision has been made clear. Trust me. Serve me only. Worship me only..I have commanded, they  are content with rebellion and disobedience. Give me your whole heart as I have done for you, I say. Yet they say next time with their heart. Hell hath enlarged herself and the pain and the agony cannot be put into words what they are going to feel..yet they will not surrender to the one who laid down his life. How have my people been content with death and abominations when I have offered them life and that more abundantly. How have they given  up their glory? How have they surrendered their power to them that profited nothing? I have come. I have conquered every adversary. I have poured out my spirit. I have made them joint-heirs with me. I have seated them in heavenly places. I have taught them daily by my spirit. I have given treasures and riches from my glorious chambers. Was it a small thing to ask you to love another as I have loved you? Was it a small thing to ask you to show mercy and forgive your neighbor as I have forgiven you? Is it a small thing to say abide in me and I in you? Is it a small thing to say allow my spirit to do the work…the increase? How have they given themselves freely to higher powers that are not of me! They have given children, son, daughters not for my sake. All the while their hearts hate me and they say my purified love is not enough. My wisdom is not enough. My knowledge is not enough. It’s not me they are walking with, saith the Lord! For my grace is more than sufficient!
