“Come out! Come out from among them!” says The LORD of Hosts.

“I AM calling you out from among those who are speaking from their flesh. Vanity, pride, judgement is being spoken, not from My lips but from the mouths of the false prophets.

They are speaking words that I will hold them accountable for in due time. For some, the time is now.

Now I AM sweeping across the land with My sickle to harvest the ripe crop. All weeds are being pulled up and exposed for all to see.

I have made My warnings clear, and some have listened to My Cry, but many have not listened to the Spirit of The LORD. They are speaking their own thoughts, or those thoughts planted there by the enemy of their soul.”

“My heart is longing for a pure Bride, and I will have her,” says The LORD.

“I will have a spotless Bride standing before Me. I will accept only true worship, not one full of self pride and useless words.

Do not exalt yourself before men! When you do that you are spitting in My Face, for I demand worship in Spirit and in Truth.

Put no other gods before Me. Do not even look at or consider other gods, those things that are important in your life that I despise.

Live in purity, of heart and soul. When your spirit is connected with My Spirit, you will desire only those things I desire. Holiness and righteousness are your portion when you focus on Me.

I AM coming to tear down the words of the ones who speak lies and say false things in My Name. For I will not be mocked, nor will I allow any other god to come before Me.”

“Be faithful and true, as I AM,” says The LORD.

“I will bring peace to your soul and cause your joy to leap from your belly. True joy will spring up and flow out from you as My Spirit overflows in you and from you.

Listen to the Spirit of Truth. Wisdom is your guide. Revelation will come as you yield yourself to My Spirit. Council and Might will empower you and cause you to triumph.

You will stand in awe and fear of My Holiness, for I AM Holy. I AM He Who fashioned you after My likeness. I created all living things.

I own the universe. All good things come from My Hand.

I will cause you to walk in Truth and Love as you rid yourself of those who are influencing you in the wrong ways.

Listen to My Spirit, for I AM fine tuning your ears to hear what I AM saying.

Scales will fall from your eyes as you focus on Me.

Let My fire burn away all that hinders you from stepping closer to Me.

So, I AM calling you, My precious one, to come out from among them and let Me fashion you after the way I intended.

You are being summoned by the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords to fulfill the plans I have for you,” says The LORD.

“God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:24 KJV.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says The LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 KJV.

“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.” Revelation 19:11 KJV.

“because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:16 KJV.

Article begins:

On June 1, 2022, I reached one of the most important conclusions and subsequently made one of the most important decisions of my life.

I decided to completely stop using, endorsing, encouraging, extolling, promoting, praising, or otherwise having any involvement with so-called “plant medicines” – specifically when it comes to their use in an unsupervised, recreational setting or their use for getting “divinations”, “downloads”, “God experiences”, or anything else that involves intentionally using drugs to alter your consciousness with the goal of having some kind of contact with the spiritual world.

Now, before you roll your eyes and stop reading because perhaps you were never interested in plant medicines in the first place, or you think I must have had some kind of a “bad trip” on shrooms, or you’re convinced that plant medicines play a vastly important role in your own personal, spiritual, or professional development and there’s no way you’d ever come to the same conclusion I recently have…

…I beg of you: please stick with me here.

Please hear me out.

I have some very important things to say that I think the world desperately needs to hear right now. After a great deal of studying up on the topic (and, over the past decade, experimenting with nearly every plant medicine substance known to humankind) I strongly feel that it is now my responsibility and God-given calling to share my newest thoughts with you on this matter. Frankly, there is absolutely no way I want to go to the grave without speaking my mind on this topic.

Furthermore, this information is going to be important for you to know because, if you’ve glanced around you lately, you may have realized that plant medicines seem to be taking the world by storm. Folks are now performing ayahuasca ceremonies in their New York City apartment loft and strolling through town with a DMT pen in their back pocket; you can’t swing a dead cat by the tail without hitting some self-proclaimed or otherwise certified “shaman”; half the people you know are likely already experimenting with microdoses of LSD, psilocybin, huachuma, and beyond; ketamine clinics are popping up right and left, and often frequented by folks simply using this substance for escapism and recreation, and not true “trauma” or addiction problems; gym junkies and health enthusiasts are sneaking off on the weekend to explore themselves with iboga, often with some kind of self-labeled “shaman bro”; MDMA therapy is lauded as the final, close-to-legalized solution for everything from PTSD to romantic couples therapy; there’s a shockingly high likelihood the person standing next to you at the museum or passing by you on a nature hike is dosed up on psilocybin or san pedro; cannabis so potent in THC content that it can knock you on your ass with one pull on a vape pen can be found on nearly every street corner in most states; and even modern-day evangelical Christians are now considering the fact that, as Brian Muraresku writes about in his book The Immortality Key, that the early church growth was fueled by psychedelic spiced wines, mind-bending fungus, and drug-induced heavily altered states of consciousness, and that we should consider a return to these practices so that we can finally commune with the divine and grow closer to God.

And yes – I realize that a few of you might be cringing because, deep down inside, you suspect that I’m about to expose the “noble and laudable” excuse of “healing yourself” with plant medicines that a shockingly high number of health enthusiasts and spiritual warriors and shaman-bro’s and sis’s engage in on a frequent basis…

…as just an excuse to get high and do drugs without feeling like an addict.

You’d be right if that’s your suspicion.

Admittedly, I’m partially responsible for fueling this entire movement.

I’ve podcasted and written multiple times on the benefits of journeying with plant medicines.

I’ve heavily promoted microdosing with plant medicines for focus, creativity, productivity, and social outings.

I’ve equated cannabis and shrooms with coffee and wine (trust me, they’re a bit different).

I have owned multiple investments in ketamine clinics, cannabis companies, and psilocybin research laboratories.

I’ve encouraged couples—in the same way that my wife and I have done—to consider compounds like sassafras, MDMA, ketamine, lysergamides, and beyond for enhancing sex or having highly bonding weekend getaways.

Perhaps most interestingly, I have derived a great deal of benefit and personal insight and relationship enhancement and creative ideas from “journeying” with plant medicine, which made what I am about to share with you very difficult to write. Frankly, I thought because all the fruits of my use of plant medicines were nothing but good, that the ends justified the means.

But I was wrong.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

I am sorry.

I am ashamed.

I have severely missed the mark.

I was playing with fire, and you might be too. 

And I am about to tell you why.


What I Mean When I Say “Plant Medicines”

Before I delve into the nitty-gritty details as to why I am done with plant medicines, I think it’s going to be important to establish what exactly I mean when I say “plant medicines.”

I am specifically referring to chemical compounds—both synthetic and plant-derived—that have the capability, even in relatively small dosages, to induce a rapid and dramatic altered state of consciousness (or gnosis or metacognition or hallucinogenesis or any other similar term bandied about these days) and that have or are chemically related to compounds that have a tradition of use for spiritual divination, “journeying,” witchcraft, sorcery, shamanism, the occult, white magic, black magic and any other forms of “pharmakia” (more on what that term means later). This includes nearly all psychedelics (also known as entheogens, hallucinogens or psychotropics), which are a class of psychoactive substances that are capable of producing significant changes in perception, mood, and cognitive processes.

[Carol’s note: Continue reading at above link. Jesus is our mediator and lover of our soul. You are just kidding/lying to yourself if you participate in a drug ritual to “enhance” you connection with the “divine”. This is not scriptural, and you are being deceived.]

I believe it was Leonard Ravenhill who said something like this:

“There’s a moment coming to all of us, just after we step into heaven, when we’ll all wish we’d been a little more holy!”

The LORD Himself said,

“Be thou Holy even as I am holy!” Leviticus 11:45,19:2.

On September 13, 2019, The LORD had me start a Prayer Group called ‘Ten Minute Prayer Initiative’, aimed at encouraging members to spend ten minutes each day in prayer, preferably on their knees.

The ten minutes was to allow five minutes praying for personal holiness, and five minutes for revival. There is a sub-group for personal prayer requests.

The thinking behind it was very simple — first, Pray for Revival.

But then spend the rest of the time praying for ourselves, and I’m sure our loved ones too, for personal holiness.

The group is running at something over 1800 members.

So, today I heard our pastor say that we need to “get back to personal holiness!”

It struck a loud gong in my spirit, and I heard The LORD chuckle. Then He said, “I had to grab your attention somehow, and I knew you’d listen to pastor!”

OUCH!

He continued, “There’s so much that many pastors today are turning a blind eye to. Lots of ‘little sins’ — and a fair number of ‘bigger sins’ too!

It’s all sin to Me, and it’s all so displeasing, and it takes The Church down to the level of the world.

I AM coming for a Spotless Bride — and there’s precious few at the moment.

How can The Church call for and expect Revival, if they are a grubby Church?

My Word says that, “Judgement begins in the house of The LORD,” (1 Peter 4:17).

Does that ring no alarms at all?

My People had better believe it, for as I said once, a long time ago, “MENE MENE TEKEL PARSIN” meaning, “You have been weighed and found wanting”!

Today’s church, for the greater part, has also been weighed and found wanting! They need to return to holiness, before they’re fully ready for Revival, otherwise they will miss out on so much I have for them!”

So there you have my message for today.

It’s time for us all to be, as Ravenhill put it, a little more holy — because The LORD is Holy!

It’s time to get the ‘tolerated’ sin out of The Church — because God will not tolerate sin any longer!

Weapons of MASS DESTRUCTION are ready to be released upon an unsuspecting world that has been lulled to sleep by their leaders. What a rude awakening they will have when they hear the sound of missiles flying over them and landing on their houses and in their neighbourhoods. Sudden death and destruction that lays waste at noonday will become the norm (Ps. 91:5-6). While they say peace and safety, suddenlies will be all around them (1 Thess. 5:2-3). Don’t wait for warnings from your governments, for they are the ones wrapping these surprises for you to deliver to your doorsteps. No, the only true warnings are coming from Me, through My prophets and My messengers, and you have all but scoffed and laughed at them (Amos 3:7; 2 Chr.36:16). It is not them you have done this to, but I, your God (1 Sam.8:5-9; Luke 10:16). It is Me you scoff at, sneer and jeer at, persecuting and throwing back My MERCY in My face! (John 15:18). You have called the cross foolish, yet the cross is My MERCY (1 Cor.1:18). It is what will SAVE you, but you have rejected it.

You continue to trample My son underfoot and think that His blood is equal to yours and can do nothing (Heb. 10:28-31). So now only a fiery judgment awaits you all that have rejected Me and My messenger warnings, and this is what’s coming your way (Prov.1:24-26). WAIT and you will SEE it! It is not far off. In fact, I have been delaying it to give you time to REPENT (2 Pet. 3:9). Now, that time is up and the weapons of mass destruction now go flying up to meet you unprepared to stand before Me. I will present to you every opportunity that I brought your way to freely come to Me. This decision will now be made for you, and you will not like it.

My MERCY is from EVERLASTING to EVERLASTING; IT’S NEW EVERY MORNING AND IT TRIUMPHS OVER JUDGMENT (Ps. 103:17; Lam. 3:22-23; Ja. 2:13). This world has nothing left to offer you. All you see around you, all that you own, is soon going to be no more (1 John 2:15-17). If these are the gods you have chosen to hold on to, wait, for very soon you shall see them go down. And if you are still holding on to them, you will go down with them. Is it WORTH IT TO LOOSE YOUR SOUL over you possession? Over your position and status? Over your reputation? Over your club memberships? Over the latest cars and fashion? Over all that you are holding dear to you and cannot let go? IS IT WORTH YOUR SOUL I ASK?? (Matt. 16:24-26; Luke 12:15; Ecc.5:10, 16-17). These things are FLEETING compared to your SOUL that will live forever in eternity with Me in heaven or with the devil in the lake of fire.

My SON purchased for you eternity with His very LIFE! Doesn’t that make you ask yourself why? (1Pet.1:18-19; 1Cor.6:20; Eph.1:7) why would someone lay down their LIFE for you, in your stead? (John 15:13). Do you know that it is your SIN that put Him on that cross? And He willingly and lovingly went to the cross to die for you, so that you can LIVE with Me forever in ETERNITY (Isa. 53:7). Do you know that I hold your life in My hands? (Ps. 66:9; Isa. 41:10; Isa. 49:16; Isa. 41:13). The god you have given yourself over to did not create you and so does not have control over your life (Jer.10:11). I AM ALMIGHTY GOD! CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE! (Isa. 42:5; Neh. 9:6; Rev. 4:11; Isa. 45:18).  FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING, I AM, ANCIENT OF DAYS! (Isa. 43:13; Ps. 90:2; Dan. 7:22; Dan.7:9). BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THIS WORLD, I WAS, AND I KNEW YOU! I CREATED YOU IN MY IMAGE AND LIKENESS AND BREATHED LIFE INTO YOU! (Ps. 139:16; Jer. 1:5; Eph. 1:4; Gen.1:26-27, Gen. 2:7). You are walking and living because of Me! (Acts 17:38). You wake up every day because I see it fit; because of My mercy and grace, I protect you daily (Job 12:10; Ps. 31:15). I have given you the strength, the ability, the talents and gifts, the resources, the opportunities to make a life of your own and your families. Do not for one minute think that it is your education and positions that have gotten you this far (Deut. 8:17-18). You are NOTHING WITHOUT ME! (John 15:5). Read My WORD and you will understand WHO the AUTHOR of LIFE is. WHO THE BEGINNING AND THE END IS! WHO THE ALPHA AND OMEGA IS! Read daughter, son, father, mother, and child. It will do you well to know (Rev.22:13).

The god of this world whom you have chosen to bow down to is a created being like yourself. I created him (Isa. 54:16). And because of his pride and wanting to exalt himself above Me, it cost him heaven and his position (Ez. 28:1-5, 15-19). Now he deceives mankind to follow him, for his end was already decided to be in the lake of fire. And he wants to take you there with him (John 8:44; 2 Cor.4:4; 1 Pet.5:8; Rev.12:7-9; Rev.20:10). Is that who you have chosen to spend your eternity with? Any power and control that he has, is what I have given him and allowed him to have (Job 2:1-11). He is nothing to Me, just another tool in My hands to bring judgment upon this world (Isa. 54:16; Prov.16:4). The very things he has enticed you with are the very things he is blinding you with to destroy you (2 Cor.4:4). Satan cares nothing for your wealth and possession, he will give you as much as you want, for he knows it is All fleeting and will soon pass away. He is after your SOUL for he knows this is what will live to ETERNITY (John 10:10; 1 Pet.5:8-9). And when you are not heeding to My warnings, you are giving him a firmer grip on your soul and this will land you in hell. This is what you are CHOOSING (Ja.4:7).

You are choosing an eternity in the lake of fire over an eternity in heaven with Me (Heb. 10:26). And this war that is now upon you is coming quickly and it will not grant you the time or opportunity to call upon My name and ask for forgiveness. So now I am giving you another CHANCE to CHOOSE ME, TO CHOOSE LIFE ETERNAL by accepting My Son’s sacrifice for you on the cross (Heb.4:6-7; 2 Pet.3:9; John 3:16; Rom. 6:23). Time is no longer on your side (Rom.13:11-12; Eph.5:15-16). I am not presenting to you all of these to coerce you or instill fear in you. I am simply speaking to you the TRUTH of what will soon be your REALITY, and giving you a chance to REPENT before it’s all happening before your eyes and you can no longer call upon My name (Acts 3:19; Isa.55:7).

I AM not telling you or going to tell you what you want to hear, like your pastors in church, No! I AM telling you TRUTH, I AM TRUTH and this TRUTH will set you free from My judgments and eternal damnation (2 Tim.4:3; John 14:6; John 8:31-32; John 8:36). I implore you to choose wisely and cross over from DEATH to LIFE (John 5:24). I AM LOVES YOU.

Isaiah 45:18 – For this is what the LORD says, He who created the heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it as a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited): “I am the LORD, and there is no one else.

“The refining process has intensified in, and, for My House.

I AM stirring the pot to cause to come to the surface all of the impure metals that have stayed in your heart, hidden from the cleansing power of My Word.

This process will begin to reveal to you those hidden and coveted issues of your own heart. The reason is always to make you a vessel of purity, never to make you feel condemned, as some think and even say of Me and those who will boldly declare My truth.

The enemy is an expert at misinterpretation and cunning when it comes to using words to ensnare and lead astray.

As you well know, words can kill or they can give life. Listen to My Words now, know that I AM shaking My House in order to separate the pure from the impure, the wheat from the chaff, the sheep from the goats.

The great divide has begun, so now is the time for your life to resemble the holy standard that I alone established.

Yes, I know those who are Mine, but you must know those who are Mine also. Family should know their own family.

For by their fruit you will know them, do not be deceived by their great boasting words or their flamboyant displays of power.

My People will adhere to My Word, they will not try to twist My Words to accommodate their twisted lifestyle.

My People will live a holy life, not just make vague references to it. Only follow those who follow My Word, for I have told you before that many false prophets and teachers are in the midst, leading and deceiving others to go astray off of the narrow way.

Teaching, and taking great pleasure in those who follow their examples, they are wolves in the flock.

This is the time for cleaving to the Lover of your soul and a time for great discerning, which can only come from intimate times spent with Me in The Secret Place.

You will see a great falling away of some who have known Me but do not be dismayed, these things must come to pass.

I AM coming for a Church without spot or blemish. Now, begins the purification of silver and gold, precious metals that endure great heat in order to become the purest.

Once the purification is done there is a small amount of pure metal that is found. I will have My holy remnant.

I will have a chaste Bride. I will have a clean House. You be holy even as I, your God AM holy and perfect!

Keep looking to Me and you will see that My Grace will make you all that I have promised that you will be.

It is not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit,” says your God and LORD.

“… Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of whom the oil is a symbol],’ says the Lord of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6.

“Beware of the false prophets, [teachers] who come to you dressed as sheep [appearing gentle and innocent], but inwardly are ravenous wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them [that is, by their contrived doctrine and self-focus]. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the unhealthy tree bears bad fruit.” Matthew 7:15-17.

“And you shall be holy to Me; for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine.” Leviticus 20:26.

“..so that He might sanctify the church, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word [of God], so that [in turn] He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy [set apart for God] and blameless.” Ephesians 5:26-27.
