I see hearts that are shut tight and minds that refuse to give up their ideas. People will not change. Terrorists cling to their violence. The West clings to its lifestyles. There is no room for God and no willingness to submit the heart to the fullness of love that would lead in a different direction.

The West sees the violence of the terrorists but does not see its own hardness of heart. Who is saying, “Let us repent of our sins”? Who calls out, “Let us turn back to the Lord. He will save us”?

I say this to the West. You have buildings with no foundations and paths with no light. You have built your city without God’s law. When you banished Jesus, you invited the demonic. Now the demon springs his traps. When he pours forth his violence, you have no light. You lack all understanding. I must come to rescue you with greater light and stronger fire. Yet, even with these signs, will you give up your ideas and open your hearts? The future will tell the story.
