An epidemic is coursing through My Body. For like a drug, has this generation of believers become addicted to “escapism”, as this is surely the remedy they seek as a way to avoid dealing with the realities of this life. And though this tonic comes in various forms, it is often not recognized for what it is: a means of escape.
Nonetheless, do My children continue to partake of this drug. However, though most of these believers would not categorize their behavior as “addictive”, even still do they daily pursue their preferred form of escape. For its subtle appeal calls out to the appetites of their flesh, luring them into a demonic trap, one designed to dull their spiritual senses, for then ineffective soldiers will they remain.
And so in an idled state do these children sit, for indeed has their spiritual advancement been slowed, as their heart’s pursuit is “escape” instead of delighting themselves in Me and, as such, are their thoughts and attention preoccupied with worthless matters. Yet “escapism”, though prevalent, is only a symptom of the deeper issue plaguing My Body, for indeed is “discontentment” the actual problem, as there is a sense of dissatisfaction that these children carry in their hearts.
So then instead of being fully present in the current circumstances of their lives, these children would rather escape by diverting their focus onto the superfluous things of this world, thus pushing down the ever-present discontentment stirring inside them. Thus have they given the One who is the place of true contentment the backseat, for to them “escapism” is the more preferable of the two, for long have they heeded the call to “escape”.
Ah then the “more“ I wish to give them, which would displace their discontentment, sits like an unopened gift that has been stowed away for another day, for I shall not force these children to accept the “more” I am offering to them in this hour. Then what should be apparent to these children is that there must be a willingness in their hearts to cast aside the fleshly tendency of “escapism” in order to deepen our relationship, where they forgo the practice of “avoidance” and, instead, run wholeheartedly after My presence. For then, and only then, shall they know a true and lasting sense of contentment and internal peace.
Then do not say to yourselves, “Maybe tomorrow!”, and then put off again your pursuit of deepening our relationship, for “now” is the moment to ascend, “now” is the hour to abide. For I desire to draw you closer to My heart, where, in this space of habitation, you shall experience My presence in ways that you could never have imagined.
So then stop looking to the right and the left hoping to find a new escape hatch, one that shall give you momentary relief for your festering discontentment. For I tell you dear ones, “There is nothing which this world has to offer that can bring the satisfaction you seek. Only I am able to fill that internal void and satisfy the longings you carry inside!”.
Then do I say, “Stop feeding your flesh, and thus continue on with the practice of ‘escapism’. Seal those hatches shut by refusing to entertain those fleshly appetites any longer. Instead, shift your focus onto Me, for surely in Me shall that festering sense of discontentment be squelched.”
So then, even now, choose abiding with Me instead of being led by the urge to escape. Together, let’s face the day head on! For I tell you now, “it is in Me that you shall find the contentment you seek, even if the current condition of your circumstances is less than ideal. Therefore do I say again, “Stop feeding your flesh! Therefore, cast off every worldly distraction, those which seek to hold your attention captive and enslave you to the appetites of your flesh! Choose to abide in My presence instead!”
