Word of the Lord to Joel Osteen

Jan. 4, 2013

I speak unto thee this day, and I would ask thee, do you remember me? I would ask thee, do you remember me? Or have you forgotten me? Have you neglected me, have you abandoned me? I say, yes, you have! I say yes, you have! For I say that you have gone after the world, and you have used my name, to gain your acclaim, to gain your fame, and you have forgotten me. I say you have disrespected me, and you have not regarded me. But I say you have gone on in your own way, to gain what it is that you have desired, to gain what it is that you have lusted for, to gain what it is that is your ambition and your desire, and you have forgotten me. You have disrespected me, and you have failed to regard me in the process of it all. I say you have grown rich, you have grown famous, you have grown prosperous and you have grown abundant. But I say that you have not grown in me.

For I say that you have not sought me, in the sense that you have humbled yourself before me. But I say that you have sought the counsel of men, and you have followed after their advice, and you have not sought me. I say you have gained much acclaim, and much fame, but I say that it is all vanity. For I say that all that you have gathered unto yourself is not pleasing unto me. I say you have spoken unto men, words of falsehood, words of half-truth, words of seduction and enticement away from me.

I say you have caused those who would have been my people to seek after the things of the world, to seek for what they wanted, rather than what I wanted. I say you have forgotten me.

I SAY, DO YOU REMEMBER ME? I SAY DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE BUT A CHILD, AND YOU CRIED OUT UNTO ME, AND I CAME TO THEE? I SAY HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ME?

I say in all of your abandonment unto your own lust, unto your own ambition, unto your own pride, I say that you have built for yourself that which is nothing before me, and that which will be brought down, for it will not stand the test.

I say that it is me the Living God who will cause your kingdom to be taken from you, and I say that it will come as a shock, and a sore dismay, for I say that you have forgotten me. I say that it is me the Living God who does send the truth unto thee, that you would repent, that you would return, that you would abandon your own lust, your own pride, your own ambition, to come into me, to walk in my way.

Yes, you will reject my words, you will reject my call, and you will go in your own stubborn way. For I say that you are in love with you, and you are in love with what you think you are. And you are not in love with me. I say that I the Living God will hold you accountable for your rejection of my truth, that calls you to repent, that calls you to return, that calls you to remember me.

But I say because I am who I am, I will send the truth unto you, and I will send the cry unto you, and the call unto you. Because, I have not forgotten you, and I desire you to return unto me, and to humble yourself, to look at what you have done, the way it appears before me. For I say that it is vanity, and it is vexation, and it is darkness, and it is the work of man, and it is nothing before me.

I say that I the Living God am not pleased, in those who turn from me, in those who go after the things of the world, in those who build for themselves broad estates, and great houses, in those who love the things of this world, while they have abandoned the love of me.

I say so you are guilty, for I say you love the things of this world, and you do not love me. For I say that you will not stand for the full counsel of the truth, and you will not proclaim the same. But I say you only give forth that which will draw men unto you. I say you give them sugar-coated phrases and cause them to be exalted in self, rather than to be humbled in self, that they could be exalted in me.

I say that your words are full of falsehood, for you are speaking lies, to draw men unto your great kingdom that you imagine will remain. But I say it is me the Living God who will bring it down and it shall be taken from thee.

Then, what will you do? Will you humble yourself then? Or will you still continue in pride? You have forgotten me. But I have not forgotten you and you are an unworthy servant. For you are not laboring for me, but you are building up for self and you are literally allowing the enemy to use you, to lead men astray, to lead them in a ditch, and I say that it is simply this, that you have been blinded by pride.

I say this day, repent, I say repent, I say humble yourself unto me. I say turn from your proud ways, turn from your arrogant summations, turn from that which you are doing for it is evil in my sight.

Come unto me, for I am able to forgive thee. Okay, I have pled with thee, what will you do? Will you scoff, will you mock, will you scorn, will you refuse? Where will you end? I declare it, and it is true, if you do not repent, that totally which is your kingdom, shall be taken from you.

HAVE YOU BEEN SAVED? JESUS IS REAL!! PRAY LIKE THIS.

Dear Jesus, I come to you with all the sins I've committed and I beg you to forgive me. Rescue me from eternal damnation in Hellfire. I confess that I am a sinner and that I cannot save myself.

I want to serve you, obey your commands and do what is right. I want to live for you everyday and receive everlasting life. Please lead and guide me by your Spirit into righteousness.
