When My Promises Are Not Fulfilled, I Am Not The One Who Has Failed; It Is Man Who Has Failed By Making The Wrong Choices

That There Pot O Gold—May 24, 2026

Question: Jesus, where is the pot of gold of Your promise? Why do the heathen continue to rage and the people imagine a vain thing? Does not the whole world worship the Beast? Your Word says they do, and have been for many, many years now. What more is there? You said that You wait for Your brides. Are we they for whom You wait so earnestly, or are there others? Why do the wicked continue in the land so many years? Where is the promise of Your judgment upon the wicked? Where are the promises that You made to David, Your Endtime prophet?

Are You waiting to see me fall in frustration, then to come and pick me up in my shame, like all those who fell before me? It has been ten years since we left Egypt (Audio)—for the second time—and sixteen since the great fire (Video). We followed Your Piper into the wilderness. It is hard to find this pot of gold. I know it’s here somewhere, but where? The road is long and seems to have no end, or even purpose, but to reach the end in old age. But that is not what Your Word has said. You said that this generation would be the generation that sees all Your promises fulfilled.

I have no desire to go back to Egypt—but to rest in Your City, having run the race that You set before me. We have no God but You; we have naught to run to but Your strong tower. Are we to continue running, like all those who came before us, without seeing the promise? What of all the promises? Are we to fulfill them, or are they for another generation? Am I just to be faithful to the end? Then what of these young ones who followed me into this wilderness? Will the sayings of the vain be true then—that we are mad and have brought the children into the wilderness to die? What should I say to them… “Do not let go until He blesses us”? But that is what I’ve been saying until this time, so should I say it one last time?

You know my ways, Jesus. We are here in this desolate place with no livelihood but Your hand, and it is a good thing, for we are living by faith. But it seems to be more than just that. The challenge that youth face is overwhelming them. To face forty years in this wilderness, when they have been so faithful. Are not the forty years already spent?

[MB: Then I believe Valiant, my guardian angel, spoke. I believe it was he because of this strange number combination he told me to write down: 84-10-26=120… Do you want clarification as to  where these numbers came from? As soon as I wrote 120, I thought of Noah building the Ark, and then, when he had finished it, the flood came.]

Are not these the children of the promise? Are not these called and chosen to enter the Promised Land?

I am Your Joshua; I have in my hand a tiny band of Gideonites. We have no desire to face the giants of this world. Our weapons seem only strong enough to conjure miracles for our own support. How are we to come against the world system? We have been marked and numbered with the rest of the people, sheep for the slaughter. Hope lost, hope deferred—where is the mighty hand of our King? It is hard to promise these young ones another forty years in the wilderness.

You have told them that they must come to You without condition (Audio). I know not their hearts. They are quiet; they seem to be waiting to see if You are good to Your Word. But that is not what Your Word says; it says, “Come to Me without condition and I will make of you mighty men and women of God.”

I am spent, my Lover; I’ve poured out my grievances. I cannot tell them to turn away from the Promised Land and face the wilderness for another forty years. Surely there is surcease from this wandering. If I’m to die without seeing the promise, so be it. I give these young ones into Your reliable hands. I will continue giving them Your promises; I will do my part, whether they follow or whether they turn back into the world, for there are but two choices. (End)

 The Majesty of Free Choice and Destiny

(PFTCOD Book #1 (PDF) Compilation 8)

Jesus: Nearly all of the promises I give—either for the Family or for individuals—are conditional. This is because of the majesty of choice. But many of My brides just can’t seem to grasp this basic principle. When I do give promises, My brides are often quick to forget the conditions, or to neglect to fulfill the conditions. Or when things don’t turn out as I said they would, instead of looking for the reasons why, or instead of searching and asking Me what conditions were not fulfilled, or what choices were made that changed My will, the blame is automatically placed on Me for having not fulfilled My Word.

How this grieves Me, and even at times makes Me hesitant to give an abundance of specific promises, with conditions attached, knowing that in the end—because of the choices of man—if the outcome is different than what I had promised, then some people’s faith will be hurt, because they forget the big picture.

It boils down to a belief in the freedom of choice. It also comes down to believing that there are usually requirements in order for My promises to be fulfilled. My promises don’t work for everyone if the right steps are not taken. And then there’s the whole issue of majesty of choice. Men and women of flesh and blood have the power to make the wrong decisions, despite My will and My plan. And that’s not to even mention the Devil, who is always trying to defeat My plans.

I will never force My will on My children. Take the children of Israel, for example. I gave many promises regarding them that were conditional on the choices they made. Although My Word and promises were true, each one depended on the choices that My people made. Likewise‚ I’ve recently explained clearly that even My promises regarding you, the children of David, My Endtime brides, are conditional on your obedience and the choices you now make. I’ve warned you that if you do not take the steps I’m asking you to make, I will have to raise up others to inherit the mantle of your Father David.

I allow choice. I give room for each person to make their own decisions. If I did not, I would not be a God of love; I would be a dictatorial God Who forced My will on My children. This is not how I work. This is not the way life on Earth is. I am God Who wants obedience out of love, yieldedness as a result of free choice. I desire freewill offerings, not forced servitude. Thus all of My promises are conditional, according to the choices of men and women.

It’s all about choice. If you want My full protection, you choose that protection through your choices. You choose to obey and do what I ask of you, to fulfill the conditions, so that you are afforded My full protection. If you want to be in My will, you choose to keep yourself within the boundaries I have given you, even when your flesh desires to be elsewhere or your heart yearns for a change.

If you want to fulfill the destiny I have for you, then you must make the choices that keep you walking on the right path, or else you will get lost and I will not be able to fulfill the destiny I promised would be yours. It’s all about choice. You must choose your outlook on life. You must choose My will and My ways. Nobody else can make those choices for you – not even Me.

One of the main jobs of those of us in the spirit world is helping you to make the right choices. We realize the significance of your choices, and we realize that when you make the right choices, we are able to help and aid you greatly, but when you make the wrong choices, our hands are tied. We can’t override your choices. Nobody can. Not the angels, not your spirit helpers, and not even Me.

We can instruct you, encourage you, check you, help you, and prod you, but we cannot make the choices for you. You make your own choices, and then I adapt the situations and circumstances to your choices-bringing good out of every situation, which is My unconditional promise. Learning how to make decisions is what your life on Earth is all about.

MB: Surely this can’t also mean in this Endtime. Surely the Endtime is going to pan out with or without our interference. Then why does Jesus talk about passing the mantle of David to someone else if we are not found faithful? Why does He talk about going around again, for the second or third round? And what was Dad talking about in his talk to us about Spiritual Warfare (PDF) Depending on Our Choices? (end)

When My promises are not fulfilled, I am not the One Who has failed; it is man who has failed by making the wrong choices or by not fulfilling the conditions. I do not fail, but man is human and doesn’t always do his part. When man fails, or makes wrong choices, it’s simply not fair to blame Me for the outcome. In every situation I am more than willing to make good on My promises, but man’s choices often make or break the deal.

Dad, speaking to Maria: Even God Himself has limited His control over His children, because He has given each one the majesty of choice. Even He cannot make them do His will or force them. All He can do is make His will known and put before His children a choice. But then each one must determine in his own heart and mind what he will do, how much he will yield, how much he will accept and surrender to the will of God. And so it is with you, Honey.

The Miraculous Resurrection of the Children of David

(PFTCOD Book #1 Compilation 9)

Jesus speaking: The only thing that will bring order out of chaos, victory from this defeat, and cause this dying Phoenix to rise again from the ashes of defeat, is Me and My Word.

I have called forth the armies of David, and I have called you from your defeats into victory. I have raised you up again, you who have been struggling, despondent and discouraged. I have ignited the flame again! How encouraged I am to see you all answer the call of My Spirit in your hearts! I see many rising to fight again, and some who have been called to fight for the first time.

Now do you understand? Now do you see why I have called you to such dedication? You are My sword. You are My weapon against evil, and as long as you were dormant I could not fight to My full capacity. But now that you have awakened and come alive again, you have become a powerful tool in My hand which the Devil cannot stand against. There is no wile that you cannot overcome with this power. I have taken up My most powerful weapon, and you are part of it. Released to Me was the power to awaken your souls and to restore the power to My sword.

From The Death of The Old Will Spring Forth The New

Jesus speaking: Where there is life, there is always hope. I know you look around you and you see no life–only death and the burning embers and ashes of what once was. How can life spring forth from so great a destruction, so great a burning (Video)? But this is where you must hope, for even in this great burning I extend to you the hand of hope.

All you can feel right now is the stinging and the burning in your eyes from the smoke and stench of your sins. It is a very great burning and great clearing away of your sins and disobedience’s‚ but even from these ashes will come not just new growth and renewal, but great victory. There will arise a beauty from even these ashes of defeat.

You’ll be tempted to feel that no growth can come from these ashes, that just from the sheer weight and depth of the ashes alone no life could possibly spring forth, that there is no hope of resurrection from so great a sin and burning. But I promise you that even from these ashes will come victory, and even this burning is for a greater purpose.

MB: Jesus isn’t talking about April 4 here. You guys were faithful up to the end. You are only young; you don’t have the experience the older ones have. You came through and said, “Okay Jesus, I’ll give You until the end of 2026.”

Jesus said, “I will take you at your word,” and then along comes Genesis 32:26—“Hold onto that angel and hold him tight, and say, ‘I will not let go until you bless me.’” (end)

A once great and vast forest has been burned to the ground. Great‚ majestic tall trees, which have long stood in strength and magnificence, have been reduced to ashes and charred remains. But even when a great and aged forest is ravaged by fire, there is always regrowth, and new life will always spring forth—albeit slow at first.

So will this burning and regrowth be with this great forest. It will be reduced to ashes, and the devastation will seem overwhelming at first, as all you can see is destruction and the smoke of her burning rising high into the air for all to see. But it is only from the death of the old that the new can spring forth. It must be a complete death, a complete burning for My perfect purpose to be established and fulfilled.

For I can allow only new life to spring forth–young and alive saplings who are little in their own sight, those who hungrily desire the light and reach forth toward it constantly, that they may grow the right way in true strength of spirit, always facing the light and focusing on the light.

When the old is burned and gone, when the once tall, proud trees are no longer there overshadowing what lies below‚ then the new growth has a clear view to the light. Nothing is blocking their vision; nothing is holding them back, for all that once was is gone. All that remains is the light above, and they have but to turn their faces toward that light and growth shall come quickly.

MB: Now, I don’t know where you stand or where folks out there stand, but try putting yourself in the position this Word is talking about, as those young saplings. Are you following? And if not, then where are the saplings? Who are they? This is prophecy we’re reading, so it must come to pass, or it has already come to pass. The forest was burned down, the Family is no more, so where are the saplings? (end)

So shall I set about building and creating a new forest, a new work, and so shall I raise up the new saplings and those who are worthy to be called My disciples and who will love Me and desire Me and My Words and My light above all. So shall these little ones grow and flourish and prosper and be found faithful, with the fertile ground of My Word alone underneath them. Gone will be everything outside the surety of My Word, and from this stripping will I reactivate My (new) Bride to be all that she is destined to be and bring forth all the fruit she is destined to bear.

MB: The surety is My Word, no leaders, no organization, just the Letters, just God’s Word, Old and New. (end)

So shall My promises and My Word be fulfilled, and so shall this cause a mighty stirring and a mighty widening of the eyes of all My children. So shall a great hush and respect and reverence for My Word fall on all My children worldwide—where a healthy respect and fear of Me and My Word has fallen by the wayside. This shall cause a mighty turning and repentance in the hearts of many, and get them back to the basics of Me and My Word. And so shall a beautiful new forest be created from the ashes of the old.

So grab ahold of that hope, because that hope is firmly grounded on the fact that I have a greater purpose in this–an end purpose. Though it is now out of sight, it is nevertheless there on the horizon and will show its glorious face if My wayward children will turn to Me and seek hard after Me.

MB: Have we been seeking hard after Him? Are we continuing to seek hard after Him after April 4? April 4 was not a burning. This Word is talking about the old Family. April 4 is a test to see if we are still seeking hard after Him, after His Word, with no conditions attached. (end)

So, My loves, take heart. You are still My loves and My brides. Yet the promise remains that whom I love I chasten, and every son and daughter whom I receive, I scourge. So this is all My love for you, and this chastening is all for a purpose. And I promise you that this purpose will be accomplished if great repentance is found in your hearts and spirits, and if you stay on the path of repentant obedience. (End of message from Jesus.)

A Discipleship Challenge

Jesus speaking: Listen, and you’ll hear the mighty rustlings of My great tree, as I purge it to bring forth more fruit. Listen, and you’ll hear the footsteps of a mighty army that I’m preparing for the future–not mighty in numbers,[no big physical army] but mighty and strong in truth and in the power of My Spirit. I’m raising up a new church, My children, from within your very midst.

The old structure… will no longer stand! I will completely destroy it and build in its place a new creation! I will gather together you who will be My revolutionaries, who will walk through the gates of total commitment and dependence on Me, into the future where I will use you to reach the world, to shine brightly before all the Earth, to wield the keys as swords of destruction against the Enemy in the Last Days.

MB: Do you see how ridiculous this is? How can a tiny bunch of Gideonites go out into the world with tracts and posters to win it? No… don’t go back to the old way of winning the world. The old structure was destroyed on purpose, because God is doing it a new way—a spiritual way, a behind-the-scenes way. He has an enormous army of the spirit (Video) conquering the armies of hell. It is our prayers that are needed now, not the flesh of our arms. (end)

 

This new church will be a structure built on the solid foundation of My truth and My Word, and you who wish to be part of it must choose My ways and My Words. For if the new church is built with the remnants of the old, the ideologies of man, personal desires, pride, or the ways of this world, it will crumble. It must be redesigned, a completely new creation, with everything from the past, except My Word and truth, abolished and destroyed.

 

MB: The story of Jacob (Audio) is the same. The angel asked Jacob, “Who are you?” and Jacob had to admit that he wasn’t a man of God, but a deceiver, a man of the world. That’s what we have to admit, and once Jacob did that, he was given a new name and became a new man. And that is the same situation Job found himself in. He was a man of the world—self-righteous. But when he came before God and admitted his faults, God gave him back twice as much as Job could ever accomplish in the flesh.(end)

I’m calling to you, My children, to be part of the glorious future, to be part of the small but powerful army that will sweep the world and rock the nations, to be part of My new army that will win battles you’ve never dreamed of winning, to be part of an unconventional church that all the world will marvel at, saying, “These are the children of Heaven! They hold great and terrible power in their hands, and treasure priceless truths in their hearts.”

I’m calling you to be part of My new nation, My beautiful city of purity that will be set upon My hill, whose light will never be hid or destroyed—because the light is Me, the light is My power, the light is My truth. I’m calling you who are willing to be despised by the world in order to be honored in My sight, you who are willing to choose the life of a revolutionary disciple, an iconoclast‚ a to-hell-with-the-System dropout. I’m calling you who only want My truth, My ways, My Word, My light, and My approval.

I’m calling you who love the world of eternity more than this present Earth that will one day be turned into a ball of raging fire when all the remnants of Satan’s power will be destroyed. I’m calling those of you who want My flame of truth that separates you from the world to burn brightly in your hearts, and who are willing to nurture that flame, no matter what the cost or personal loss. I’m calling you to forsake your pride, independence, bitterness, worldliness, and the sins of this world, in order to embrace the jewels of My Spirit that are not dead but alive and living‚ and will shine and pulsate in you more brightly and brilliantly as we draw closer to the End.

MB: Imagine forsaking all of what is being said to us in the Words of David for a trinket in your hand that is actually a device that ensnares and enslaves you. If you are going onto the net, but are saying you want to be a disciple, then you are lying to yourself. We heard clearly from the Endtime prophet in the last podcast (Audio) about how the net sucks you slowly but surely into the trap.

We know from past posts that those cell phones are demonic. It’s as though the hand of demon possession is in those machines, reaching out of the screen, grabbing you by the shirt, and pulling you into the black hole.

Don’t be like those who crack the door open a little after the Prophet said to close it tight. That’s the example that was given in Don’t Get Caught in the Web. : 28. (Mama:) We love you, Dad! That’s our Dad, who’s never been afraid to tackle a problem head-on! Praise the Lord! Naturally we realize that the Internet isn’t a problem for all of you and we’re not saying you shouldn’t ever use the Internet. Some Web sites are fine for obtaining news and information, as well as the Family sites, of course.

MB Prophecy: The Family had gotten too familiar with the prophet and his words. Dad was God’s anointed prophet for this Endtime period. The problem is that people were looking at the man and not the mantle. If they had seen Dad in the spirit, they would have treated his Words with a lot more respect. When Dad spoke, it was as Jesus speaking.

1 Samuel 15:22: “And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.”

So you have the Prophet speaking—and not from the physical realm, mind you. He was speaking from the spirit realm in that prophecy. He was seeing it all very, very clearly. He was the oracle of God.

Did we listen? No. Did we pay the price? Yes. Has there been a great burning? Yes. Was there a rebirth? Did saplings come up? Yes. Are the saplings now being tested in the wilderness? Yes!

As we know, man can talk, so he has to be tested, and even in his mind he can think he’s doing everything right. But is he listening to the Prophet? Is he listening to the Word? Is he obeying the Word? Is he allowing that Word to sink into his heart? Is he realizing that that Word is the difference between staying the course of discipleship or going back into the world? (end)

I cannot use the proud–the great shiny knights who feel strong in themselves‚ who ride along on their high horses, trying to do battle for Me, attempting to win wars for Me‚ and struggling to be a part of My army, but doing it all in their own strength. They will fail. They will fall. They will not ride through to victory—not because they don’t want to serve Me, but because they don’t want it badly enough. They don’t want to pay the full price. They don’t want to forsake the things that are holding them back. They feel their own armor, their own weapons, and their own ways of doing things are enough, and that their tactics for battle will see them through. But they will fail. No tactics but Mine are sufficient.

I’m calling for a simple army—an army that to you will appear humble and meek, even bedraggled, grungy and weak, because then you will use the new weapons, not the tactics of your own strength. I need an army who will depend on My power, derive strength from My truth, and though small and weak in your own eyes and in the eyes of men, you will be mighty conquerors and valiant warriors in spirit.

I’m calling you, My children, to enlist in the most unpopular outfit you will ever see on this Earth, but the most popular and highly honored outfit according to the standards of Heaven—an army that you will be proud for all of eternity that you were a part of. The old church‚ the old army, the old Family will be no more.

MB: Can you imagine? I’m reading from our pubs. Did we not see it, or were we so familiar that we thought it could never happen to us? (end)

But in its place will be a new church, a new army, a new Family that will be rebuilt from scratch with the building blocks of My truth and the radical Words of My Spirit that will set it apart from the world more than ever before, but that will also draw unto Me all of My lost and hungry children in the world who are seeking answers, who hate the System and its ways, and whose hearts are dying for true revolution.

MB: Which is what is happening right now through our prayers, as they call to the Armies of Heaven to witness to the lost and fight against the forces of Hell. (end)

The church I am building today is the body of believers that will reap the great and final harvest–you who will walk through the Tribulation as My leaders and miracle workers, you who will be the greatest threat to the Enemy and his plan, the most dangerous to his agenda, the ones at the very top of his “hit list,” because he will fear you so much. But he will not be able to touch or stop My anointed ones, My true church‚ My radical disciples–you who will have My truth running through your veins and pouring out like a gushing stream to all who come into your presence.

MB: Even if you think you may be one of the last two witnesses, you’d better not go out there under your own anointing, or you’ll fall miserably flat. The End has not come yet, so it may be that we will see these two witnesses. But you can be very sure they will have been following the Words of David as closely as possible. The anointing will fall on them, and they, and everyone else, will surely and undoubtedly know it.

 

Be not as those who loved this present world more than the living Words from My lips, the radical truth that has been all but lost in the world today, but which I pour directly and freely into you who give Me your all. It’s you who are hungry babes in spirit that I need in My army. It’s the you-can-take-this-whole-world-but-give-me-nothing-but-Jesus disciples that I need in My ranks. It’s you who don’t give a second thought to the world and its ways, but devote all your time and energy to reading, studying, absorbing, and living My truth that will have what it takes.

 

It’s those of you who are proud of being different, even odd and strange in the eyes of the world, because you care more about what I think than your reputation–you are the ones I need as My disciples. It’s those of you who have crazy faith, the Don Quixote’s like Noah, Abraham, Moses, Daniel, Joshua, John Paul Jones, Dad… who are going to be the backbone of My new church. You who are willing to be beggars for God, fools for Christ, and unconventional soldiers–you’re the ones who are going to win this war!

You don’t have to be strong, charismatic, intellectual, powerful, or wise to be part of My new army, a part of My new church, a part of My called-out ones! You’ve just got to be weak so I can be strong in you; dumb in your own wisdom so I can give you Mine; small in your own eyes so I can exalt you; lacking in knowledge so that you live and breathe My Words of life and truth; humble so that I can use you; simple so that you’ll accept My Words in faith; afraid to make a move without My approval, so that I can reveal My plans that will propel you forward with the power that only comes from obedience to Me.

Give Me your whole heart, your whole life, your everything, and in return you will be floored by what I will do for you. You’ll never have imagined that a life lived in complete, 100%, revolutionary discipleship to Me could be so good, so fulfilling, so rewarding, so complete!

I’m asking you to deny yourself, to take up this cross of challenge that looks like a heavy, cumbersome, old wooden cross of little worth. But as you humble yourself beneath it and use all your strength to rise up to carry your cross for Me, along with your brothers and sisters who choose the same, it will be transformed into a brilliant and powerful sword, representing My power, truth, Word, anointing, and the keys of the Kingdom in these Last Days.

What you at first thought was a burden will be transformed into a weapon that will not only defeat the Enemy, but bring you great personal joy and fulfillment, free the captives that are ensnared, and cut through the brazen gates and daunting obstacles that stand in the way of progress–your personal progress, as well as the progress that will bring about My Kingdom on Earth.
