Wow, this was so encouraging, Joseph!
I am new to the blog only a couple months in, and I am years behind today[8-4-24](where you are still going strong).
Also, though, consider the fact that maybe with your zealous preaching and warnings, the WORD has gone out and many have turned to Jesus for repentance, therefore complete total judgment has been delayed through his mercy. Remember when the Angels came to destroy Sodom & the cities about them, how God spoke to Abraham that he would not destroy the cities if he found so many righteous in it?
Looks like he found some righteous still in this country to not destroy it!…& that is a Good Thing, even though we all long for the end so much!

Hi Brother Joseph,

I tried to post the following on your blog regarding your apology , but for some
reason the visual verification isn't working on my computer –

Thank you, Joseph, for addressing this head-on. I echo what Mary in Maine has
said, as I had thought about how Jonah's message of only four words in Hebrew
had a "time stamp" of 40 days (Jonah 3:4), yet judgment was delayed. We all
need discernment, as any national repentance today isn't as clearly visible as
it was in Nineveh (Jonah 3:4-10).

In Him,

Tim Hudson

I was truly blessed by this post and all I could hear is Come Lord Jesus Come and Truth Lord.

We all fall short brother but the Father is using this opportunity to show us that we shall be understanding, compassionate, willing to forgive the error, to encourage you to stay humble and in the spirit, so that you can be directed righteously in the Lord.

May the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of the Lord forever be our guiding light, through the Holy Ghost.

Uplifting your hands in Christ Jesus,
Sis. Libby

Thank you, Brother Joseph, for your humble words. May I submit that it is always possible you were discerning the Spirit rightly and that our Sovereign God has chosen to delay.

Thank you, Joseph, for your honest confession and apology. I for one am blessed by it more than I can say. Had you kept silent on this matter I may have overlooked that area of "My house." I take seriously the call to get our house in order, but still may have been ignorant of this vital area. I understand completely the strong desire to relay the messages we are given by the Faather about the seriousness of the hour. I am guilty as well, of allowing the urgenceny of the situation to drive me, to possibly speak before or more than I should have.I so needed this this morning. God Bless You!

It is also important to divide between soul and spirit when counseling people as well.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ( 1 John 1:9)

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
(Matthew 6:14-15)

For whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives. (Hebrews 12:6)

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Also, I pray Psalm 107 might bring great encouragement.

Lifting you up in prayer and in His unfailing love.

Dear Joseph,

How encouraged I am to read your words. I have felt that perhaps I am not waiting and listening for God as I should be and instead been forging ahead. I am guilty and have asked for wisdom and guidance in measuring my words.

Peace to you,

JMD

"take time to discern between soul and Spirit". That message was meant for me also.
Thank You

I had two days ago a dream where I was having a conversation with someone when my cell phone rang. I was quite surprised and thought it was rather unusual that someone would call me, for some reason.

I walked aside and answered. A female voice said: "This is the house inspector. We are coming to inspect your house."

I asked, for what reason? And also, who had commissioned them? The lady said she isn't going to tell. I couldn't think of anything but decline politely and ended the call.

I think the dream was highly unusual and after reading your blog I think we might be entering a time where our house must be in perfect order.

Blessings in Christ.
