THE INSULT

A MESSAGE FOR THE CHURCH

Good evening,

I hope that you all enjoyed a beautiful Christmas, celebrating the birth of our Savior!

The Lord spoke this message to me back in November. It was entirely in French. While I didn’t know how to write everything down flawlessly in French, I understood Him completely and wrote what I heard. I have put out the translation below. In this case, the “you” He refers to is always plural, as this is speaking to The Body, at large.

This is a hard message for The Church, but it is in line with an earlier message about Him bringing purification to His Bride. Here, He talks about desiring honor... for church leaders and for Himself, which is something that we've become pretty lax with in our Western mindset (myself included). May He never again say of us that He is insulted!

Lord, we honor You, and we choose to honor Your servants!

THE INSULT

A MESSAGE FOR THE CHURCH

November 16, 2022 – late afternoon

This afternoon I heard the Lord speak to me over and over in French:

« L’insulte… l’insulte… l’insulte ! »

(Translation: "The insult… the insult… the insult!")

I knew He was not pleased with His Church and had a message He wanted to convey. He continued to speak in French, but I am sharing the English translation only:

---

THE INSULT:

"I have insulted…

And I am insulted.

You are insulted by My law, by My word, and by My people – My prophets who give you My word.

What is the honor for them?

What is the honor for My men—My pastors—over you;

The shepherds of flocks – of My flocks?

What is this – the humiliation of My mouthpieces?

So then,

I am insulted because you don’t look to My shepherds or My prophets…

Who have looked at Me."

---

MY CHARACTER:

"I am insulted because you don’t protect My character.

I am the Holy God! I am the King of Kings!

I must have the honor due My Name.

My Name is precious, and My reign is eternal.

I am The Eternal! I am The Eternal God![I]

It is not okay when you dismiss Me or when you cower in fear under your enemies and your friends.

Why are you ashamed?

I was not embarrassed by you when I made My covenant with you.

I sent My Son—My precious Son—to die for you!

Do not insult My character.

I am holy.

I love you, but I ask for honor for My Name, and for My leaders, and for My House."

---

A PURE CHURCH:

"I desire a clean Church, dressed in white robes, without spot or wrinkle.

And so, stay in Me."

---

25b“…Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.”

-Ephesians 5:25b-27, NKJV

REFERENCES:

[i] In classic French translations, the Old Testament YHWH name of God is written as “L’Eternel.” This would be represented in our English translations as “LORD” in all caps. But I chose to keep the French rendering intact in this instance, so as to maintain the flow of what He was saying.
