“I’D RATHER HAVE OBEDIENCE”
By Rosie Lovejoy
June 3, 2007
It was Sunday morning and I was at church worshiping. Communion had ended and once again I found myself before my Savior. HIS essence was so bright I was unable to look upon HIS form. So I threw myself upon the floor prostrate, unable to stand in the presence of the MOST HIGH.
We were singing, “Freedom reigns in this place…” and I heard the words:
“I’D RATHER HAVE OBEDIENCE.”
I tried to ignore the vision that was unfolding, yet I heard once again an authorative, pleading voice:
“I’D RATHER HAVE OBEDIENCE.”
I knew I was being asked to come away, yet I was reluctant to do so, as just two nights ago during Friday night worship I was shown three mushroom clouds. I just wanted a ‘feel good church service, full of hugs and warm fuzzies’. I wanted no more visions of destruction and judgment. Yet I know my SAVIOR’S voice, so I arose and went to a quiet place.
“THESE ARE THE TIMES THAT WILL TRY MEN’S SOULS.
THESE ARE THE TIMES THAT HAVE BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT,
SERMONIZED ABOUT, AND AWAITED WITH ANGST AND HOPE FOR CENTURIES.
YOU HAVE A MISPLACED NOTION OF FREEDOM. YOU THINK THAT FREEDOM IS YOUR RIGHT AND YOUR ENTITLEMENT. NOW LOOK WHERE YOUR FREEDOM HAS LED.
ONE THIRD OF YOUR BABIES ARE BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK.
YOUR CHILDREN ARE ADANDONED AND ABUSED. THE SICK ARE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF, AND BLED OF THEIR ASSETS AND HOPE.
THE WEAK ARE PREY TO THE STRONG. THERE ARE LIES EVERYWHERE —
FROM THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF YOUR GOVERNMENT TO
THE LIES OF CHILDREN ACROSS YOUR NATION’S SCHOOL GROUNDS.
THERE IS MUCH DESPAIR AND NEED — YET MY CHURCH WANTS ME TO MEET
THEIR OWN PERSONAL DESIRES RATHER THAN THE NEEDS I SET BEFORE THEM IN MY SCRIPTURES.
~ THE WIDOWS
~THE ORPHANS
~THE SICK
~THE POOR
~THE STRANGERS AMONG YOU.
YOU THINK THAT FREEDOM MEANS, “DO YOUR OWN THING” OR “I DID IT MY WAY.” YET YOUR FREEDOM HAS LED TO SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND DISEASE,
CHILD PRONOGRAPHY AND MOLESTATION, ABUSIVE HOMES AND ABUSIVE CHURCHS, AND SO MUCH MORE…
FROM MY VANTAGE POINT YOUR FREEDOM HAS BEEN A CURSE RATHER THAN A BLESSING. FOR YOU FEEL IT IS ‘YOUR RIGHT’ TO BE AND DO AND FEEL AND AS YOU PLEASE. MY CHILD, FREEDOM WITHOUT OBEDIENCE IS A TERRIBLE CURSE,
FOR IT WILL LEAD TO ACTIONS WHOSE CONSEQUENCES ARE UNTHINKABLE.
IT LEADS TO HEARTBREAK AND RUIN…
MY WORD IS SO CLEAR.
IT IS A ROADMAP FOR INDIVIDUAL LIVES, COMMUNITIES, AND NATIONS.
IT SETS THE BOUNDARIES AND PERIMETERS FOR HUMAN ACTIVITY.
IT SETS FORTH MY BLESSINGS AND CURSES. IT IS CLEAR WHAT I WILL TOLERATE AND WHAT I WILL NOT TOLERATE.
YESTERDAY WAS SHABBAT AND YOU SPENT THE DAY WORSHIPING ME, THINKING ON ME, AND HELPING A FRIEND IN NEED. YOU WERE OBEDIENT.
HOW I WISH ALL MY CHILDREN WERE OBEDIENT!
MY WORD SHOWS THE CONSEQUENCES FOR A REBELLIOUS NATION.
IT IS PLAIN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PEOPLE FORSAKE ME AND GO THEIR OWN REBELLIOUS WAY.
THERE IS AN ARMY AMASSING MY CHILD, JUST AS YOU READ ABOUT IN HABAKKUK DURING THE WEE HOURS THE OTHER NIGHT. THERE IS TERROR COMING THAT WILL MAKE EVEN THE STOUTEST OF MY MEN TREMBLE. BUT THROUGH IT ALL, THROUGH IT ALL, WILL BE MERCY AND GRACE TO MY HUMBLE ONES—TO MY OBEDIENT ONES.
YOU ARE TIRED OF SCRIBING THESE WARNINGS.
YOU, ROSIE, ARE SO LONGING FOR MY GLORY AND MY PRESENCE.
I HAVE TOLD YOU BEFORE, ‘THERE IS NO PLACE I AM NOT.
THERE IS NOWHERE I AM NOT.’
AND SO IT IS TIME FOR MY CHILDREN TO GO INTO THEIR PRAYER CLOSETS AND INQUIRE OF ME. IT IS TIME TO ASK ME WHERE THERE IS SIN IN THEIR LIVES,
SO THAT IT CAN BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND HEALED.
IT IS TIME FOR THEM TO INQUIRE ABOUT EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIVES.
~ ARE THEY WHERE THEY NEED TO BE IN THE DAYS AHEAD?
~ HAVE THEY THE PROVISIONS I HAVE ASKED THEM TO SECURE?
~ ARE THERE OTHERS —THE SICK, THE ELDERLY, ORPHANS, OR OTHERS
THAT I WOULD HAVE THEM REACH OUT TO AND HELP AT THIS TIME?
THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO FLAUNT YOUR FREEDOM.
THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO LIVE IN VIOLATION OF MY WORD.
THIS IS NOT THE TIME ‘TO DO YOUR OWN THING.’
I LOVE WITH A LOVE THAT IS UNFATHONABLE TO YOU.
WILL YOU SEEK ME NOW?
WILL MY CHILDREN LAY THEIR ‘FREEDOM’ DOWN SO THAT THEY CAN OBEDIENTLY PICK UP THEIR CROSS AND FOLLOW ME? THERE WILL BE REVIVAL.
THERE WILL BE A GREAT HARVEST. ITS PRICE WILL BE VERY HIGH,
AS IT WILL COME AS THE RESULT OF GREAT CALAMITY AND ANGST.
IT IS TIME FOR OBEDIENCE, MY CHILD.
SURRENDER YOUR SUPPOSED FREEDOM TO ME. INQUIRE OF ME—NOT FOR TOYS AND MONEY…NO! ASK WHAT MY WILL IS IN EACH SITUATION, THEN OBEY.
FOR IT IS IN OBEDIENCE THAT THERE IS FREEDOM. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.
THE DAYS AHEAD ARE DARK. YET FOR MY OBEDIENT ONES IT WILL BE GLORIOUS
AS YOU WALK IN OBEDIENCE, FOLLOWING MY VOICE, EXTENDING MY LOVE AND MY MERCY TO A WORLD THAT IS CONFRONTED WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR FREEDOM.
I LOVE MY CREATION.
I LOVE MY CHILDREN.
WILL YOU COME AND INQUIRE OF ME? WILL YOU LAY YOUR FREEDOM DOWN TO
OBEY ME IN ALL THINGS? I ASSURE YOU THAT YOU WILL BE MOST HAPPY THAT YOU DID, AND THAT YOU DO INQUIRE AND OBEY.
THIS INQUIRY IS NOT A ONE TIME EVENT. LOOK AT KING DAVID, MY FRIEND DAVID. HE SOUGHT ME, INQUIRED OF ME, OBEYED ME, WORSHIPPED ME.
HE TRIUMPHED DURING DEEPLY TROUBLING TIMES. SO, TOO, WILL MY CHILDREN WHO INQUIRE OF ME TRIUMPH DURING THE TROUBLING TIMES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEGUN. KNOW THAT MY LOVE SURROUNDS YOU AND KEEPS YOU SAFE.”

“I HAVE DRAWN A LINE IN THE SAND”
June 17, 2007
By Rosie Lovejoy
I heard the words, “I have drawn a line in the sand…” while we were singing, “Lord, you are Holy. I glorify and bless your Holy Name…”
I tried to ignore the voice as I just wanted to continue worshiping. Yet the voice persisted gently yet firmly with the phrase, “I have drawn a line in the sand…”
Then I saw the LION OF ZION standing high on a windswept crag of rock. The wind was blowing fiercely, and HIS mane was whipping in the wind. Yet HE stood resolute, unmoved by the wind, with a look that clearly conveyed that HE had made up HIS mind.
HE turned to me and spoke,
“I HAVE DRAWN A LINE IN THE SAND. THE LINE IS DEEP, AND THE LINE IS WIDE.
IT IS NOT A TINY LITTLE INDENTION MADE BY A STICK. NO!
IT IS A CAVERN, A CANYON, AND VERY SOON IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE
TO CROSS FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER.”
I was shown an image of a canyon, like the Grand Canyon. It was huge and deep and very steep.
“YOU SING ABOUT MY HOLINESS. AUTHORS WRITE ABOUT MY HOLINESS.
YET YOU ARE CLUELESS AS TO WHAT HOLINESS MEANS.”
“KADOSH – SET APART – DIFFERENT – PURE—NOT LIKE OTHERS – HIGH AND LIFTED UP
- SEPARATE.” “MY CHURCH [USA] IS NOT KADOSH. IT IS NOT SET APART AND HOLY. HER BEHAVIOR IS MORE LIKE THAT OF A WHORE RATHER THAN A VIRGIN.
SHE WORSHIPS MONEY. SHE WHORES AFTER MONEY. SHE HAS MADE THE PURSUIT OF MONEY THE SIGN THAT I AM PRESENT AND BLESSING HER.
SHE HAS TAKEN MY WORD AND TWISTED IT INTO SOMETHING THAT IS REPULSIVE TO ME. YOU HAVE HEARD ME TALK ABOUT POUNDING WAVES. YOU HAVE HEARD THE SOUNDS OF ARMIES THAT ARE AMASSING AT YOUR SHORES.
MY HOLINESS IS NOT A TRITE THING! IT IS NOT SOMETHING TO SING ABOUT
AND THEN GO HOME AND IGNORE.”
“HOW MANY THAT NOW FILL MY PEWS ARE FORNICATORS?
HOW MANY THAT NOW FILL MY PEWS ARE ADULTURERS?
HOW MANY VIEW PORNOGRAPHY AND UGLY SINFUL IMAGES ON YOUR WEB OF DECEPTION?
HOW MANY BELONG TO SECRET SOCIETIES?
HOW MANY ABUSE THEIR WIVES?
HOW MANY ABUSE THEIR CHILDREN?”
“HOW MANY OF MY CHILDREN ARE SICK, IN NEED OF [financial] ASSISTANCE AND ARE TOLD, ‘WE [the church] WILL HELP YOU JUST THIS ONE TIME ONLY…’
WHEN THEY ARE DESPERATE FOR MY LOVING-KINDNESS AND FOR THE RICHES FROM MY STOREHOUSE.”
“I TELL YOU NOW, THE SINS IN MY CHURCH HAVE RISEN TO HEAVEN
AND BECOME A STENCH IN MY NOSTRILS!”
I was not happy with what I was hearing and recording, and flinched when HE spoke these words. HE continued on,
“YOU ARE SHOCKED, ROSIE. YOU THINK THIS IS TOO HARSH.
YET WHERE AM I IN MY CHURCH TODAY? YES, THERE IS A REMNANT.
YES, THERE ARE THOSE PRAYING FOR AND PURSUING HOLINESS.
YES, THERE ARE THOSE WHO LONG TO SEE ME FACE TO FACE – WHO YEARN FOR MY RETURN.”
“MY CHILD, I HAVE DRAWN A LINE IN THE SAND AND THAT LINE HAS BECOME A CAVERN. THE LINE IS MY WORD FOR I AM FAITHFUL AND TRUE.
MY WORD TELLS MY CHILDREN HOW TO BE HOLY, HOW TO BE SET APART
AND CONSECRATED TO ME.
MY WORD IS THE SAFETY NET THAT RESCUES YOU
WHEN YOU FALL DUE TO YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING.
THIS WEEK YOU HAVE BEEN CONVERSING WITH MY VALIANT WARRIORS* –
MEN WHO HAVE ENTERED THE BATTLE UNASHAMED OF ME AND MY GOSPEL.
YOU ARE WATCHING ME MOVE AND POSITION MY WARRIORS ABOUT --
FOR I KNOW WHERE THE BATTLES WILL BE FOUGHT.
MAKE NO MISTAKE, I WILL HAVE THE VICTORY!”
“I HAVE DRAWN A LINE IN THE SAND. AND THOSE SITTING IN MY CHURCH,
PLAYING AT HOLINESS, FILLED WITH SIN, UNREPENTANT AND UNSANCTIFIED
WILL SURELY PERISH.”
“I HAVE DRAWN A LINE IN THE SAND.
ARMIES ARE AMASSING BOTH ON EARTH AND IN THE HEAVENLIES.
TRUMPETS ARE SOUNDING…”
“GREAT CATACLYSMIC CHANGES ARE ON THE HORIZON.
ANYONE WITH EYES TO SEE CAN TELL IT HAS ALREADY BEGUN.”
“I WOULD HAVE MY CHURCH KNOW I WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE OPEN, DEFIANT
SIN IN MY CAMP. WHAT YOU DO IN SECRET IS NOT SECRET TO ME!”
“I WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE CHURCH LEADERS WHO USE MY NAME TO SWINDLE MONEY FROM MY SHEEP, AND USE IT FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL GAIN!”
“THE TIME IS UP! THE HOURGLASS IS EMPTY! THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE DAY
OF THE LORD HAS BEGUN.”
“YOU WILL SEE IT IN THE WAVES, THE WINDS,
THE BLAZING SUN, THE DROUGHTS.
YOU WILL SEE IT IN THE TOPPLING OF YOUR CURRENCY.
YOUR IDOL (money) WILL FALL!”
“I BEG MY CHILDREN TO REPENT — TO RETURN TO ME —
TO HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND TO BECOME HOLY AGAIN –
TO BECOME SANCTIFIED AND SET APART.
I WILL CLEANSE YOU, AND LOVE YOU, AND PUT YOUR FEET BACK ON THE PROPER PATH.”
“BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE! I HAVE DRAWN A LINE IN THE SAND.
I WILL PERFORM MY WORD. I WILL HAVE A BRIDE WHO IS HOLY –
NOT ONE WHO MOUTHS THE WORDS ON SUNDAY MORNING!”
“I HAVE SPOKEN. I WILL HAVE A BRIDE WHO SMELLS LIKE ME,
WHO WEARS THE PERFUME OF LOVING-KINDNESS, MERCY, AND GRACE.
I NO LONGER WILL TOLERATE THE STENCH OF MY ADULTUROUS CHURCH.”
SO BE IT.”
“AND SO YOU WONDER WHAT THIS ALL MEANS?”
(I was having a fit writing this down, horrified at what I was hearing…)
“IT IS SIMPLE MY CHILD. I HAVE JUDGED AN ADULTUROUS NATION IN
THE PAST. I AM JUDGING AN ADULTUROUS NATION ONCE AGAIN.
MY WORD SAYS WHAT I WILL DO, AND HOW I WILL DO IT.”
“THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A REMNANT WHOM I HAVE SAVED.
THERE WILL BE ONE ONCE AGAIN. IT WILL BE SAVED THROUGH OBEDIENCE
TO MY WORD, AND OBEDIENCE TO MY HOLY SPIRIT.”
“I WILL DIRECT AND LEAD MY CHILDREN TO VICTORY
WHO LOVE ME AND HEED MY WORD. THE OTHERS WILL BE BURNED AS CHAFF.”
“IT IS THAT SIMPLE…”

“BEGIN YOUR VICTORY DANCE!”
August 17, 2007
By Rosie Lovejoy
It was Friday night, and I was worshiping with my friends. We come together for a Shabbat evening of worship, praise and dance and just loving on our Savior.
And so as I was dancing and worshiping and singing, the sweet voice began to speak to me. HE began by asking me about my reluctance to convey HIS words of warning and judgment to my nation, and continued on, shocking me to my core…
“DO YOU THINK THESE WARNINGS ARE A BURDEN, MY DAUGHTER?
ARE YOU TIRED OF THE JOB I HAVE GIVEN YOU?
IS THE BURDEN TOO DIFFICULT, MY LITTLE ONE?”
“No, LORD! You know that is not so!” I replied.
“THEN WHY ARE YOU SO RELUCTANT TO BE ONE OF MY WATCHMEN ON THE WALL?”
“I KNOW THAT I HAVE SHOWN YOU HORRIFIC THINGS TO COME.
I KNOW YOU ARE TIRED OF THE BLOOD, AND WAR, AND DEATH YOU SEE ON THE HORIZON FOR YOUR BELOVED NATION.
I TELL YOU, SHE IS NOT BELOVED TO ME!”
There was firmness about this statement that chilled my Spirit. HE was quite emphatic, “SHE IS NOT BELOVED TO ME…”
“I HAVE SEEN THE BLOOD THAT HAS BEEN SHED SO CASUALLY, WITH LITTLE BABIES NEVER EVEN GIVEN A CHANCE TO LIVE…I HAVE SEEN THE CARELESS BRUTALITY YOU EXERCISE ON ANY NATION WHO HAS ANYTHING YOU COVET.”
“YOU COVET THE OIL? THEN YOU LIE AND KILL AND MAIM TO GET IT!”
“I AM A JUST GOD, AND MY LOVE AND MERCY ARE UNFATHONABLE.
YOU KNOW, MY CHILD, YOU KNOW THE TREACHERY AND LIES
THAT SURROUND YOUR NATION AND ‘THE WAR ON TERROR’ IT IS PURSUING.”
“AND SO I AM COMING TO SET THINGS STRAIGHT.
I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE SHAKEN WILL BE SHAKEN.”
“DO NOT MOURN! DO NOT MOURN FOR A NATION THAT DECLARES ITS RIGHT TO
KILL MY BABIES THAT I HAVE CREATED AND GIVEN LIFE TO!”
“WATCH! WATCH AND REJOICE AS I MOVE.
IT HAS TRULY BEGUN AND NO AMOUNT OF MACHINATIONS CAN HALT MY MARCH.”
“I LAUGH! I LAUGH AT THOSE WHO THINK THEY CAN OPPOSE ME.
THIS IS NOT EVEN A CHESS GAME, MY CHILD. IT IS A ROUT, AS I WILL ROUT THE ENEMY. JUST AS A RABBIT IS ROUTED FROM ITS HOLE, SO WILL I ROUT OUT ALL THOSE WHO OPPOSE ME.”
“AND SO, MY CHILD, GET ON YOUR DANCING SHOES, DRESS UP, AND BEGIN YOUR VICTORY DANCE. FOR I TRULY AM COMING!
I TRULY AM COMING IN POWER AND MIGHT!” “DO NOT FRET! DO NOT BE CONCERNED! I HAVE ALL THINGS CONCERNING MY BELOVEDS
WELL IN HAND—IN THE VERY PALM OF MY HAND…”
“CAN YOU TRUST ME?”
“Yes LORD, of course I can.” I replied.
“THEN STOP BEING SO CONCERNED AND ANXIOUS!
I AM IN CHARGE! I HAVE YOUR VERY BEST IN MY HEART AND MY MIND.”
“LAY YOUR BURDENS DOWN, MY DAUGHTER!
PUT ON YOUR DANCING SHOES. PICK UP YOUR HOOPS AND FLAGS AND BEGIN A VICTORY DANCE!” “CELEBRATE AS YOU WATCH MY JUDGMENTS ROLL,
FASTER AND FASTER, FIERCER AND FIERCER!”
“FEAR NOT! DO NOT BE AFRAID!”
(Once again HIS voice was quite emphatic and stern. Do not be afraid, Rosie…)
“CELEBRATE WITH SHOUTS OF VICTORY AS I UNRAVEL THE CORDS OF EVIL THAT HAVE CHOKED YOUR WORLD AND YOUR LAND.”
“CELEBRATE, MY DAUGHTER, FOR YOU WERE BORN FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!
YOU WERE CREATED TO WITNESS MY RETURN!”
“ALL IS WELL!!!
ALL IS WELL!!!
I AM THE VICTOR!!!!!!”
“ARE YOU READY FOR A VICTORY DANCE?
“Yes, LORD!” I hesitantly replied.
“THEN START ACTING LIKE THE VICTOR, RATHER THAN THE VICTIM!!!!!”
“COME, LET’S DANCE!”
Immediately the LION appeared before me, standing on HIS two back legs, and as only a LION can, HE led me into a Swing Dance.
It makes me smile just to think about how absurd we looked. HE, huge and golden, and not so light on HIS feet. Me, holding onto HIS front paws, laughing as HE led me in one of my favorite Ballroom dances.
