People will only believe what is right in front of them. They cannot conceive of anything deeper than what is on the surface. They think that satan will tell them the truth with a neon sign, saying, 'here it is, take my mark'. They do not understand the craftiness and cleverness of the serpent. How did satan beguile Eve in the garden? Did he tell her to eat and live or eat and die? Would the father of lies tell the truth? Does he care about honesty and protecting your soul? No, he wants to steal, kill and destroy. 
How easy it was for him to deceive the nations through the beast system and its image. How people are addicted to the news and fear mongering propaganda. All happening under their noses in plain sight. Displayed in full view for the world to see and rejoice over. They celebrate and buy gifts for one another and life continues, back to normality. 
Fools. Keeping your eyes on man, will only lead to death and destruction. They do not come to Me for answers. The powers want to separate My people from Me, so that they will not hear My voice and to destroy the Holy Spirit within you. What inconceivable evil. The people continue to comply and take this mark and all of the others, thinking that the 2nd, 3rd or 4th one, will protect them. 
Fools. I Am your only protection.
Only I Am your judge and I will decide on the fate of souls. My grace and mercy abounds and I will never turn anyone away who seeks My face. Come to Me with a repentant heart My children. 
I will cover you with My wing. Put your full trust in Me and Me alone. Do it now. Time has been shortened for the sake of the elect. Do not delay in coming back to Me. Return to your first love. Only I can save you. Only I can protect you. Come under the wing of the Father.
Listen if you hear My voice. Do not follow after another man. They do not have all of the answers. Your pastors are still chasing after false man-made doctrines. 
Listen only to Me. Read Revelation and see how it is happening now. This very day. Do not wait for a future date. Do not be lead off the cliff. Listen to the Holy Spirit leading you. You know the voice of your Father. Do not go blindly along with the rest of the world. They have selfish motives and do not know Me, but you know Me, My children. Pray for wisdom and discernment if you lack and I will freely give. 
Follow Jesus. Follow the Truth. Follow the Way to the Life.
