Waiting for You_Prophetic Word

America waits, some agonizing, many glued to the television, watching numbers as the night crawls by slowly.  We are waiting the announcement.  Who will our next president be?

So too, Heaven waits.  Not just for America to choose a president, but a path of life or a path of death.  This is the same choice that God holds out to every nation on earth.  Heaven awaits your choice earth.  Will you choose God or will you choose self?  Will you choose Kingdom ways, or man's ways? 

Long ago Israel was faced with a similar choice.  To have God as their Head, or to choose a King.  They wanted a king, so they would be like everyone else.  God gave them what they wanted, much to His heartbreak and their own detriment.

"There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Proverbs 14:12 & Proverbs 16:25

On a mountain top long ago not once, but twice God gave us choices.   In the wilderness He spoke through Moses and said, "See this day I have set before you, Blessing or cursing, Life or death.  Therefore Choose Life!"  Then again on a hill far away stood an old rugged cross... and once again a choice was given.  The sacrifice of an innocent man for the guilty.  The spotless Lamb of God, to redeem the wretched sinner; ME!  And You! All of you! 

 If you do well, will you not have honour? and if you do wrong, sin is waiting at the door, desiring to have you, but do not let it be your master.  Genesis4:7 (BBE)

"Awake awake o sleeper! Time has gone by and it is time to arise!  Arise before the Bridegroom cometh! Get thee ready!  Prepare your hearts!  The deceiver comes to deceive many. Do not be among those found drifting, dozing, asleep at the wheel!  Do not be taken in by vain words, swelling lies and promises!  Do not listen to men, Listen to ME, says the Lord!  I will not lie! I do not lead astray.  I have come to show you the way.  The way of Salvation. The way of the Kingdom.  The way of My Heart!  I AM your only refuge. I AM your strong tower!  I am your very present help in time of need!  The kingdoms of this world cannot save you, cannot keep you. Only I can do that!Return to ME, the Giver of Life, the Giver of all that is Good.  Return and be not forsaken, be not barren in the things that matter most!  Return to ME, for I am waiting for you."

Isa 55:1  Wait and listen, everyone who is thirsty! Come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Yes, come, buy [priceless, spiritual] wine and milk without money and without price [simply for the self-surrender that accepts the blessing]. [Revelation 21:6, 7; 22:17]
Isa 55:2  Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your earnings for what does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness [the profuseness of spiritual joy]. [Jeremiah 31:12-14]
Isa 55:3  Incline your ear [submit and consent to the divine will] and come to Me; hear, and your soul will revive; and I will make an everlasting covenant or league with you, even the sure mercy (kindness, goodwill, and compassion) promised to David. [2 Samuel 7:8-16; Acts 13:34; Hebrews 13:20]
