The focus of the firth trumpet is the heart of man and Jesus Christ has the key to the problem. A key is used to unlock something to be released. After all, He did come to set the captives free.
In Jeremiah 17, FATHER makes an emphatic statement about our heart:
9 “The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
10 I, the LORD, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.”
Only Our Heavenly Father knows what is in the depths of our hearts and thus HE is the only One who can truly deal with its contents. HE gave His Son the power and authority to judge and deal with the bottomless pit where the gross impurities lie. The roots of the Adamic nature are located here and must have an axe laid to those roots. This surgery is an act of Love. What is the result of this surgery?
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
This is the location of “Intent” and our intent must be purified in order to qualify as Sons of Love. Any motive other than pure Love must be removed so that righteous judgment can come forth from the Sons who have been give the rod of iron. The Psalmist understood the importance of this as he penned in Psalm 51:
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners shall be converted to You.
The deception of the heart brought forth the Adamic nature and the exposure and removal of deception is what restores life in its fullness. Eve who represents our soul was deceived by the serpent. When Adam joined Eve in her deception, he became “disjoined” with FATHER in spirit. The communion ceased and Adam began of process of dying. Yes, the heart is deceitful above all things. The Sons are to be joined to THE FATHER once again and the judgments of the trumpets are necessary for this process to come to fulfillment. Death came by deception and life will come by dealing with and removing the deception and wickedness found in the bottomless pit of the heart. Romans chapter 1 states this deceitful state quite clearly:
21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
And in the book of Ephesians, Paul further states:
4:17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,
18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;
19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
The deceitful heart is the first thing to overcome and those who externalize the book of Revelation are being deceived into thinking there is no internal work to be done. “Let’s call a spade a spade!” All the past prophecies concerning the Book of Revelation did not come to pass and a multitude of excuses have been given to rationalize why those prophets missed it. I say to you the deceitful heart will send you in any direction In order to protect that bottomless pit from being accessed by CHRIST. Once we finally accept this reality, we are giving Christ access with HIS key to the innermost depths of our heart where all the secrets lie. We must be emptied of self in order to be filled with HIM. It is time to quit dancing around this gross deception and deal with the truth of the matter. Quit looking elsewhere for some event to occur that would signal your redemption. The heart is where the issue lies:
Hebrews 10:22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
Once we are finally willing to deal with the internal rather than the external, those of us with a pure heart SHALL SEE GOD! What a sight to behold! In 2 Timothy chapter 2, Paul redirects the focus to a pure heart:
22 Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.
24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,
25 in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth,
26 and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
Let us come to our senses and get back to the issue at hand- The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. Now is the time to change.
