“Centrally located

Steeped in historic actions of corruption

Burnt once to bring deliverance

What is your fate, great city of the Midwest?

Should I lay you low or bring Revival through you?

Or, perhaps --- BOTH

Earthquake lines beneath you

Water ways surround your harbors

You lie in the center of a nation rebellious to Me

You cater to the up and coming, the seekers of fortune

Your young people are bright and determined

Many of your city officials corrupt

But you stand and call from East to West

to sup at your table and buy your goods

The waters will cover you this time

The earth will quake and seek to unearth your foundations

You will try to stand and keep back all that drives
to destroy you, but you will have no strength to do so

Just as those who profess to be ‘Christian’

to be of the Christ

cannot make the necessary changes in this world

in this country for they have little Righteous Power

They stand for just a little while and then cave

Why?

They are compromisers through and through

They attend church, not to grow, but to become social

and look as if they are devout

Where are the people who come to find My Face?

Where are the ones who bow until they find Me?

Where are the believers who wait to hear My Voice?

Yes, where are the True ones?

The disasters across this country will prove
who is of Me

and who is simply religious

Those who are of Me will praise Me
when the disasters come

They will bow and come before Me with offerings
of Praise and Thanksgiving for My Faithfulness

They will seek My Face and wait to hear My Voice

to know how they can bring Truth
through this great, great storm

Where do you abide?

If you truly know Me, you would have no fear

Where do you abide?

Are you seated at your local church every Sunday

but still cannot hear My tender Voice to you?

Do you follow Pastors, teachers, leaders of the church

and expect to be safe in the storm?

The local church will be the least safe place
when the disasters come

Come to Me

Come and abide

Come and know Me

For when the storm begins
there may not be time to find Me

Shake, Chicago!

Not like California --- shake from your foundation
all the way through your false systems

Shake the politicians until they can no longer
do their dirty deeds

Shake your children until they look up from their video games and entertainment systems to find
the God of the Heavens who holds their future

Shake waters and cover the filth of this place

for I will cleanse this country and we will see what remains

and who ~~~”

FATHER GOD
