Descending Dove Christian Fellowship

The Lord spoke this to me, so I come to you in humility and love to implore you to consider your actions and choices
in eternal affairs. The Lord spoke to me about the callousness of our hearts, in that we (the Lost Generation)
approach our relationship with Him much in the same way we approach all of our relationships (with wives, families,
businesses, etc), pretty pettily and shallow. I am surprised that we are where we are today, and am really amazed that
God in His infinite wisdom hasn't just blotted us out of His book of Life, wiped us out because of our arrogance,
ignorance, foolishness, and down-right stupidity for the way we are acting and our regard for life. That would not be
His way of doing things, because He 'is slow to anger', and 'His mercies are new daily', and 'He has forgiveness for
you', even though you don't believe you need it, Him or believe in Him.

I am not re-writing or adding to His word, just replicating what He spoke to me. I have been a both a witness and
teacher/mentor to the youth and the seniors for the 10+ years I have been given charge of. He gave me the seniors to be
remembered, and to bring encouragement to them in their later years of His Word, His calling on their lives, and
remembrance of Him, and the mighty works He has done in their lives. He gave me the youth to mentor in His ways, teach
and example, disciple and prepare for His Kingdom.

'I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of
his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.' 'I also pray that out of his glorious riches he
may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray
that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep
is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.'

Times are perilous today, but your measure of faith can be seen in how you tackle and prioritize matters in your life. 'Do not be
surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you.' You are exactly where you
have chosen to be, 'this day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and
curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to His voice, and
hold fast to Him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers.' You may
be seeing financial problems, separation from loved ones, and loss of a way of life you knew, but hey, it WAS YOUR CHOICE,
whether or not it was given to you, forced upon you, or relegated to you, you chose in the manner of outcome.

The Lord is very explicit through His Word; "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does
the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive
out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' 'Therefore everyone
who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams
rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these
words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and
the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." Thus the conception of the principle of reaping what you sow (or
choose).

To this 'Lost Generation', as it has been called because of it's lack of being given proper direction, it's lack of responsibility, it's
lack of instilled judgment and mercy, 'For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice,' the Lord calls out to you,
'Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near', and 'I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my
voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.' As He has throughout all time, the Lord is beckoning
His children, to return to Him as the prodigal son did, 'After he had spent everything (his father's inheritance), there was a severe
famine in that whole country (that he'd traveled to), and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of
that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no
one gave him anything. When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I
am starving to death!'

The call is to YOU, Lost Generation! Look beyond yourselves, your situations and circumstances, see that your choices and chances have eternal
consequences, 'What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his
soul?' Look at what you think and call worldly possessions, 'Can you take them with you into eternity?' "Do not store up for yourselves treasures
on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust
do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.' Are you just living or
LIVING life abundantly!? 'I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.' Jesus said, "I am the resurrection
and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
Well, DO YOU?

When will you stop your nonsensical thinking that YOUR god! We don't think that you say, but in every one of your actions,
YOU ARE STATING JUST THAT! You provide for your family's needs, though you think, but it is actually God providing
for your needs. Yes, God got you your nowhere job, that a monkey could perform blindfolded, but he left the choice of how
skilled you wanted to be up to you. 'Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows
to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will
reap eternal life.'

Where is YOUR strong tower, YOUR fortress, and YOUR defense? Is it in the finances of a government, in the stability of a career, or in some
other form of monetary establishment? 'If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be
shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If
what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss.' If you are afraid, it is because you fear the
unexpected, circumstance, and situations facing you, or that you don't fear (reverence) the Lord. David facing Goliath is a prime example of faith
facing down a problem, but don't tell me - that's just a feel good Bible story. Yes it is a story of faith of a person named David, and yes it is in the
Bible, but no it's not just a feel good story. No! It's more than that; it's about a life surrendered to God, and what God CAN DO with it. It is a
story of power, overcoming life's stumbling blocks, and provision and protection, to quote Dr Frankenstein, "IT'S ALIVE!", that is the Word of
God.

Lost Generation, REPENT, humble yourselves, pray and seek God's face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear
from heaven and I will forgive your sin and will heal your land. 'For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly
hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.' 'The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are
attentive to their cry.' 'Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you,
who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.'

'Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your
sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt. Your lips have
spoken lies, and your tongue mutters wicked things. No one calls for justice; no one pleads his case with integrity. They rely on empty
arguments and speak lies; they conceive trouble and give birth to evil. For our offenses are many in your sight, and our sins testify against us.
Our offenses are ever with us, and we acknowledge our iniquities: rebellion and treachery against the LORD, turning our backs on our God,
fomenting oppression and revolt, uttering lies our hearts have conceived. So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth
has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter. Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. The LORD looked and
was displeased that there was no justice.'

'However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who
love him"-- but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who
among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of
God except the Spirit of God.' So to this Lost Generation, REPENT, Turn from your evil ways, learn the loving ways of God
from reading His Word, start working on developing a relationship with Him, get to know Him, and allow Him to overflow
into your life, family, work, finances, and friends. Be amazed and surprised by what a loving God can do for you, if you are
willing. It's your choice!
