The title of this article is exactly the very stern warning message I heard around 12:00 noon today when I tried to nap after being awake from around 3:00 a.m. The message got my full attention that I decided to just not sleep at all. This message is found in the Book of Revelation.
Revelation 2:5
Therefore, remember where you were before you fell, turn from this sin, and do what you used to do before. Otherwise, I will come to you and remove your menorah (lampstand) from its place – if you don’t turn away from your sin!
Since I published the previous article which focused on the lukewarm Church of Laodicea, the Lord continued to show and gave me words about the Church’s spiritual condition.
Earlier today, around 5:30 in the morning, I also attempted to nap after preparing for the children’s needs for school but while drowsing half asleep on the sofa I heard, “Persist on your Ezequiel calling;” and while pondering what that meant I heard “… and Habakkuk too!” As I was asking what He really meant, I saw a man and a boy in a lewd scene. It was very lewd that I don’t want to describe what I really saw. I knew that the man is a professed Christian.
Persist is a very strong word. Google defines it as “Continue firmly or obstinately in an opinion or a course of action in spite of difficulty, opposition, or failure.”
Merriam Webster Online Dictionary says “to go on resolutely or stubbornly in spite of opposition, importunity, or warning; to be insistent in the repetition or pressing of an utterance (as a question or an opinion).”
In the context of the vision, what was impressed to me as to the Ezequiel calling is this:
Ezequiel 33:7
Likewise you, human being – I have appointed you as watchman for the house of Israel. Therefore, when you hear the word from my mouth, warn them for me. When I tell the wicked person, ‘Wicked person, you will certainly die’; and you fail to speak and warn the wicked person to leave his way; then that wicked person will die guilty; and I will hold you repsonsible for his death. On the other hand, if you warn the wicked person to turn from his way, and he doesn’t turn from his way; then he will still die guilty, but you will have saved your own life.
As to the Habakkuk calling, this is what the Holy Spirit impressed to me:
Habakkuk 2: 1-3
I will stand at my watchpost; I will station myself on the rampart. I will look to see what God will say through me and what I will answer when I am reproved.
Then Adonai answered me; He said, “Write down the vision clearly on tablets, so that even a runner can read it. For the vision is meant for its appointed time; it speaks of the end and it does not lie. It may take a while, but wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay.
So then I must continue to watch, write and warn as the Lord leads!
Going back to the vision of the man and the boy, the Lord just showed me one concrete example of the message He gave me early in the morning yesterday while I was still in bed. He said referring to the Church, “I am exposing your shame.”
This message was similarly spoken by the Lord through the Prophet Jeremiah regarding Judah and Jerusalem, when the people continued in their sins. In Jeremiah 13: 10 the Lord says: “I will ruin this evil people, who refuse to hear my words and live according to their own stubborn inclinations, who go after other gods to serve and worship them.”
In verse 26, the Lord declared: “I myself will lift your skirts above your face, and your privates will be exposed.”
The Lord also uttered the message through Prophet Isaiah regarding Babylon.
Isaiah 47:1-3
“Come down, and sit in the dust, you virgin daughter of Bavel! Sit on the ground, not on a throne, daughter of the Kasdim! No longer are you to be called dainty and delicate. Take the millstones and grind meal; take off your veil, strip off your skirt, uncover your legs, wade through the streams. Your private parts will be exposed; yes, your shame will be seen. I am going to take vengeance, and no one will stand in my way.”
The night before I heard the word of the Lord, I prayed and asked Him for insight to the question of one reader of this blog who emailed me this:
“I have been reading your blog for a while, and I have a question. I have prayed for about 30 years for the United States. I have felt that our country has deserved judgement because of abortion, but instead, God has withheld His hand for a long time. I believe that the increase in homosexuality is a sign from God that He has been in the process of turning away from a nation due to its sins. Stating that what God says is evil is ‘good’ is also a sign of our sinful condition. My question is in regards to the cover ups of child molestations that have occurred in various institutions, including evangelical Bible believing churches. It seems to me that this particular evil is being uncovered everywhere. When this occurs in the church, the harm to children is magnified, including their relationship with Jesus. Is it right to take churches to court when they have participated in covering up child molestations by members? Why would God allow little children to be molested and raped by Christians? Can a person be a Christian and commit such a detestable act?”
As I heard that message, I knew that the Lord was referring to this particular question raised by this sister. So, the Lord will certainly expose the immoral acts of the professing Christians and churches such as shown in the vision mentioned above. If they need to be dragged in court, then the Lord will drag them to court.
Every immoral act and immoral relationship within the ‘church’ will be exposed. The Lord is in the process of shaking the so-called “Christian Church” violently to expose her immorality. Judgment on the nation begins in the household of God.
As I continued praying about it, the Lord further said that these people (so-called Christians) have no right associating themselves with God’s holy name and any reference to Him like “Christian.” It is utter misuse of His name which God condemns as using His name in vain.
For those who molest and abuse children and cause them to sin, remember the word of the Lord:
Mark 9:42
Whoever ensnares one of these little ones who trust me – it would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and be thrown in the sea.
Matthew 18:5-7
Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me; and whoever ensnares one of these little ones who trust me, it would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and be drowned in the open sea! Woe to the world because of snares! For there must be snares, but woe to the person who sets the snare!
Again, to the lukewarm Church of Laodicea, repent of your sins! The Lord Yeshua is saying:
“My advice to you is to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich; and white clothing, so that you may be dressed and not have to be ashamed of your nakedness.; an eyesalve to rub on your eyes so that you may see. As for me, I rebuke and discipline everyone I love; so exert yourselves and turn from your sins! Here I am, standing at the door knocking…” Rev. 3:18-20
Repent lest Yahweh will remove your lampstand!
Love in King Yeshua,
Cynthia

I used to be shocked by what was occurring by professing Christians and now I am beyond sad and heart sick. There appears to be no turning away and repenting for such terrible deeds. Many years ago a man I knew attended a church where my parents went and for several years he sat in church all the while molesting his young step-daughter. Finally is actions were brought to light and he left the church, his wife divorced him and he was fired from his job. Utter shame and disgrace he brought to himself. Unfortunately such acts are no longer a rarity but appear far more common.
You are right JD, these things are now common in most churches. The lifestyles of many church people are so loose these days. If we feel sick about it, how much more then our Holy God? He’s seeking for righteousness but He doesn’t see much of it. Yet He is compassionate that He’s still giving us warnings; but how much longer will He wait? The warnings are ever increasing in frequency and sternness. When will people hear?

Thanks Megan, for sharing this confirming message. Blessings to you in Yeshua.
Well no wonder, The Father has been doing this with the Catholic Church as well.
When you are preparing for a banquet because you have guests coming, generally we clean the house first and get it all nice and tidy then we start with the food preperation. So that at least if the guests start to arrive the house is in order and one just whats until all are there and the meal can be served. In my small way I can see that is what the Father is doing, getting the house in order before the banquet.
Blessings………………………..ange
Hi Angela,
Yes, the Lord is preparing the house. He is cleansing His house, the Church, for the coming of the bridegroom; for the bridegroom will not return to a filthy bride. The wedding banquet is a certain event and everything now is being prepared. The unworthy will not be part of it.
Blessings in Yeshua,
Cynthia
Thank you for being obedient and posting this. He will not stand for leaven in the bread any longer. He will teach us directly. When these “churches” lose their lampstand, look for them to do as the Pharisees did when Jesus/Yeshua took the priesthood: they will hate us. The Pharisees used religion to force compliance and gain power. Yeshua destroyed that. Yeshua’s true flock will do the same. May our Father richly bless you, yours, and your ministry!
Hi Carrie,
You are welcome, all glory to Him! Thank you for reading and following the blog.
You nailed it right, the Lord wants the unleavened bread; and is removing/separating the chaff from the wheat. The true ones will stand but the hypocrites will fall and remain in that state unless they turn to Him in humility and repentance.
Abundant blessings to you and your ministry too. Keep up the good work for our Lord and King Yeshua!
Cynthia
Hi Cynthia,
Our work is cut out for us as less and less is taught in the church because it’s offensive. Soon, the light will be out as you won’t be able to tell the difference between what goes on in those churches from what goes on outside them.
Truly God is preparing and using His watchmen, calling to the remnant, bringing them together for strength when it’s at it’s weakest. God is our fortress and shield and we must continue to call.
Blessings to you Sister,
Dan
Amen brother Dan. Thank you for the encouraging word. Yes, He is our fortress and shield.
Blessings to you as well,
Cynthia
Satanists and illuminists have infiltrated the larger churches, and now hold positions of power (priest, pastor, elder,) within them. So no, it does not surprise me that these things are now being found within the churches more and more. It is their fruit… If the truth can no longer be found within the churches, then the true believers will leave the churches and worship Him from without the church.
I’m seeing this happen around me already…
Yes, you are right sister. The Lord is now separating the weeds and the wheat. Either the weeds will be removed or the wheat will get out of the ‘church.’ Blessings to you in Yeshua.
The Lord has been separating wheat from snares and has brought me through a trial of my faith that involved an 18year marriage and then divorce to a pastor who was living a double life of addiction to porn. He had a massive heart attack as a 46 year old athlete, and, I saw, a brief moment in which he became softened toward the Lord; but then, he let seven spirits worse the first come in, which allowed and unleashed a spiritual assault on our family in all realms: spiritual, financial, physical, emotional, relational…. He brought the divorce against me and has alienated my three children from me based on false allegations… and they and his whole religious family hate me for my stand for Christ over seeking to “cover” for their Son’s lewdness or refusing to seek my children’s affection/allegiance through gifts and bribes. The Lord did not allow me to uncover him in the court procedings, but to warn him directly…. He continues to live in such defiance that a Judge discerned it (without a direct attempt on my part to prove it) and warned: “it will be the worst day of your life, and you will regret it for the rest of your life” if the alienation continues. He defiantly told the Judge that “he wouldn’t do that”. But, he has, but God has made it clear that there will be no question that the judgment that is to come will be of Him, not of men or men’s systems. Praise the Lord that He has also shown me that the seeds of faith and faithfulness I sowed into my children for 12 years will come forth when the delusion of lies is removed from the eyes of their hearts and they “come their senses” and repent. I have found amazing parallels of my personal trial to what is happening in America and to the church. God has called me to speak of the indignation He has for the American church in these last days. The FB posts that are touting “we the people” over “if MY people” are examples of the worshipping our American churches have done over the gift of prosperity/freedom, rather than the Giver. I understand the Ezekial call, and stand in agreement with you, Cynthia, that we must be willing to warn … even though it will mean that there will be those who hate us, mock us, and malign us – even, and maybe especially – within our own familes and the church. Be strong and courageous!
Hi Debra,
Thank you for reading my blog and for sharing your life. Your story isn’t far from mine; and it is this failure in my marriage that has led me back to the arms of our Father who faithfully healed me and made me move on despite the circumstances. The parallelism you see in your life is also what I am seeing in my own life. Often times I hear the Lord say to me that as I am seeing the visions He gave me of my personal life coming to pass, so the visions I see for the world are coming to pass.
Abundant blessings to you in our Lord and King Yeshua!
Cynthia
Dear Cynthia,
There is a man on the internet who keeps repeating the same warning over and over on his blog. I mean every day it is the same warning-Genesis 6-now nothing they imagine to do will be withheld from them.
Brethren, you better brace yourselves! And I dont mean stock up on soup. Stock up on the Word of Yahwey that will save your soul from all that is about to come crashing around you-a flood of lies!
peace,
Deirdre
Hi Deirdre,
Thanks again for sharing. Yes, we need to stock up and be filled with the Word of God. That’s the kind of food that will absolutely last us through the tumultuous days to come… Nothing else is better.
Love in Yeshua,
Cynthia
Cynthia i just found your website last night i am touched that you would pray for me and there can be several interpetations to the revelatory gifts i beleive this is correct
i would like to submit something i posted several days ago as i felt to paste it and save it and i had to add to it it ended up being pretty long if it is too many words please tell me and i will adjust accordingly but it seems you do hear from the lord and i look forward to future discussions i enjoyed your article as i went to pastor doseck for prayer last year for a greater ability yo interpet dreams and visions* you mentioned the cross as far as the church is concerned as paul stated what has the beleiver to do with judging the world judgement in this sense is concerning beleivers as purchased and created by God according to His purpose but the Spirit is the Lord and to him who knows to do good and does not there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin thank God we can repent but what happens when the new creation hardens their heart due to the deceitfulness of sin and in the process sears their conscience and is no longer open to repentance wether thru deception self or doctorines of demons or worse yet neglect the aspect of the cross as demas did with his call judgement can mean descion example chastening as God is love but will not neglect writtin scripture in the Fathers love for Jesus he calls a people and creates them with an ability to respond and enter into fellowship and submission to him but grants the right of freewill having purpose for those who respond and seek relationship so to define cross-where your will meets his as to judgement beleivers need only be real concerned if they do not count the cost the body and blood of jesus refuse him as lord not honoring His spirit and continue on in a form of religion deny his power Spirit of power and riht to rule this is a real problem when his children do not get along or there is rebellion from the leaders to the laymen as God is longsuffering but he decides how long before he makes a ruling i was frustrated one day and i Beleive God showed me if i send you and they reject you not understanding or willfuly with intent you are my child and such as they have done to you they have done to me if they see your needs and say be warm and be filled and do not respond to help you even though i meant for them to do so such as they have done to you they have done to me the day i got frustrated driving down the road and threw up my hands and said what shall be the end of this Lord and from a distance way up above i felt a pure anger and this is what i heard there is do you think there is nothing spoken that i do not hear and is anything hidden that i do not see nothing is spoken that i do not hear and nothing goes on that i do not see this is what i took from that a Godly fear an entirely new level of respect for Gods people and an understanding that although i was on the tracks so to speak it was not entirely my fault and He knew it but i must overcome i ended up studying the sons of eli the heart of saul and the heart of solomon and the rightly referenced in the old testament i could see why God got angry God looked and the thoughts and intents of mans heart where evil continually hence My Spirit will not strive with man forever heart and soul are always go together and as far as i understand are one and the same its a pretty interesting study as it would seem the diagram of the eternal part of man is revealed within it wich for me shed light on some of those hard things paul spoke about in the new testament as to dreams and visions some things revealed are not meant to be spoken others may be spoken or for anther time also concerning future events old testament prophets spoke of judgements to come future tense others may be parabolic three tenses past present future physical beleiver non beleiver jewish nations rulers forces of good forces of bad and effects from earth to and from 1st and 2nd heaven spiritual and all have informational value past as revealing secrets present as pivotel pray now change it or its going to happen prepare for it future pre trib post trib things to come physical spiritual events the revelation gifts and the ability to seek and hear from God is essential as we want to disceren the source and not prophecey or speak forth the enemies plans and deceptions or worse yet the thoughts and imagination of our own hearts wich seems to be happening quite frequently as is stated in jeramiahs warning concerning the last days wich he said we will understand perfectly this involves the whole council of his word and some of the hard things paul talked about and many times many aspects of your life may play into interpetation so aspects to consider i had to learn james golls book receiving and discerning revelation the hard way and it is outstanding but i realize that some things mentioned are good guidelines and not rules as for beleivers i beleive the order of the service in corinthians is essential and submitting one to another in the fear of the lord unto the lord in a biblical way is essential God wants control of His temple us and church which is an eph4 fact and not commonly taught at least in my area as i have heard alot of my church my ministrey spoken in an unhealthy way even to the extent of manifesting pride and self justification wether intentional or not very evident within the person example have you ever been in a church service the way Paul said it should be when you come together or as Jesus stated these signs shall follow those who beleive the ministrey gifts are supposed to equip all the saints this takes time and should eventually be the result of every beleiver becoming mature and manifestiong the gifts and the church is supposed to be the place of saftey and learning to yeild and flow in the Spirit for everyone not just one type of service and several hours a week this may be where the american church got off all ministries working together as the Holy Spirit wills to produce disciples not just converts i often stumble over the verse in the last days people will consider Godliness gain in my experience an aspect of the cross is death and when you bother the devil you will find war but there is a time and season to everything and the seeds mentioned in isaih all make bread(this runs ALL THE WAY THRU THE NEW TESTAMENT paul stated the word of God was preached with power lest it be of no effect not in the wisdom of mans words but God himself bearing witness this is a process as all things are but in my limited experience they are all true as a testimony when paul said we are not to walk as mere men well he PROBABLY MEANT IT THANK YOU jESUS FOR PATIENCE BUT I SEE THIS IN SO FEW CHURCHES AND only in a fragment of so many congregations i struggled for a long time until one day i guess it clicked Jesus is longsuffering but why would he judge well we are called according to his purpose created and equiped to do his pre planned works to present our selves as a living sacrifice and Jesus said these signs shall follow those who beleive so how many millions are sick dead demon possesed and unconverted because they where not equiped in the House and some not even knowing and only bieng taught abounding and having no understanding of abased comforted to the point they feel its alright to bear no cross there will be no penaltey their freewill couldn’t possible get them in trouble with God and all the while god longinging for them to respond to not only the relationship he offers but the lordship he demands and so after awhile many actually put the Lord in a descion where he says thats enough be blessed scott
Hi Scott,
Praise God that you have found the blog and the Spirit bears witness within you that I indeed hear from the Lord. Humbly I say, yes, I do hear from Him not because I am more special than anyone, but because I have responded to His call and have fully surrendered my will to Him which is most essential. One cannot hear from the Lord clearly if one doesn’t walk in total obedience and humble submission to His lordship in every area of life. It is a costly thing to do but it is the most precious thing a believer can receive from the Father for being obedient.
It’s alright that your comment is long. I could see in your words your sincerity about your walk with the Lord, how you fear Him and how you desire to remain in Him and be approved of Him. I am greatly encouraged that despite your physical condition, your faith in Him didn’t seem to waver. I see your maturity in understanding the importance of the lordship of Christ in the believer’s life. God is pleased with you, brother. You are very precious to Him.
I have been praying for all the readers that the Lord sends to this blog, that somehow His words would touch them. I am especially praying for the followers and regular readers that the Lord would continue to give them a heart of wisdom born out reverent fear of Him. I am daily praying for the brethren I meet through this blog because I believe that the Lord sent them on purpose. I also believe that my role is not only to proclaim the message of the Lord but also to intercede for every situation revealed to me especially the people. Thus, rest assured, I will be praying for you, brother.
Shalom in Christ,
Cynthia
i think i misreferenced godliness gain what i menat was 1Ti 6:5
Dear Cynthia, I am from malaysia. Today the 29th of January 2013 I was praying and I received the same message of the lampstand and I saw the lamp was extinguished and the Lord said that America will no longer be a great nation. Then I was shown the vision of the eagle ( the american national emblem) . On the emblem a scroll that was rolled up was tied on top of it. The scroll has not been opened. I believe the scroll is the judgement that God is going to release on America. Then I cried and prayed to the Lord as to the fate of the those who are righteous, innocent and faithful. I deeply fear and feel saddened for the people of America. May the Lord have mercy on America!!
Hi Premdeep,
That’s another sobering confirmation of God’s soon judgment on America; and amazing that we from afar are given such revelations. I believe that the reason the Lord reveals these things to us is to affirm what the true prophets and watchmen of America are saying to their countrymen, in contrast to what the false shepherds and false prophets of peace and prosperity are preaching to the church.
I understand fully what you feel for America. I feel the same that’s why I intercede for the nation daily until the Lord tells me to stop.
Shalom in Yehsua,
Cynthia
