When Mary Ann and I were praying today, she got the Word “Chicanery!”

Chicanery : shĭ-kā′nə-rē, chĭ-/ noun : Deception by trickery or sophistry. Mean or unfair artifice to perplex a cause and obscure the truth; stratagem; sharp practice; sophistry.
Similar: stratagemsophistryDeception by use of trickery, quibbling, or subterfugeChicanery refers to deception or trickery, often involving misleading actions or statements to make someone believe something that is not true. It is commonly used to describe dishonest practices, especially in politics or business. (Encyclopedia Britannica)

Then when I saw subterfuge as one of the synonyms, I realized I had a word by that name.

Subterfuge

August 4, 2021

Websters: deception by artifice or stratagem in order to conceal, escape, or evade 2 : a deceptive device or stratagem

Cambridge Dictionary. a trick or a dishonest way of achieving something: other: an artifice or expedient used to evade a rule, escape a consequence, hide something, etc.

Asking The LORD what He wanted to say about this, I hear…

The LORD spoke: “All heaven and earth is preparing for the day of My Glory.

I hear your cries My Daughters and Sons. I told you that this would not be easy, that you would go out as The Church, the way you came in.

But many do not want to accept that. Many want to change what is written!

What you see and are experiencing are troubling and horrifying.

When My Children in Syria and Iraq were crying out for help, were you paying attention?

Do you not see what is going on in the world, even though you are privileged to have communications that enable you to?

“Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.[ deceive:cause to go astray]
And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. [Ethnos vs ethnos – ethnic group against ethnic group ]. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.”“ Matthew 24:3-9.

There had been today in my seeing, videos of signs in places of the world saying you can make money reporting your neighbor who is not vaccinated.

Plus, multiple videos of abuse of people by enforcement cops dragging people, one man was struggling to breathe, and they didn’t care, just kept dragging him, and treating him as if he was flotsam or jetsam.

In Europe one young EMT was upset and sharing because he took someone to hospital but they were not treating him correctly, and it was not the first time — just leaving him to die.

In two countries in the European Union. the government allegedly ordered Medizolam in huge amounts for treatment of the elderly, which will put you to sleep eternally if you give enough over a few hours.

And just yesterday — October 16, 2025 Dr. Mary Talley revealed that hospitals, also here in America, were giving morphine for pain, but using it to launch them into eternity….

“And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.( been happening a long time, prophets of Baal. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” Matthew 24:10-12.

Already happening and being orchestrated by Satanic forces…

“But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this Gospel of The Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:13-14.

The Great Tribulation

“So when you see the appalling sacrilege [the abomination that astonishes and makes desolate], spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy Place – let the reader take notice and ponder and consider, and heed [this] – [Daniel 9:27, 11:31; 12:11] then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.” Matthew 24:15-16 AMPC.

“Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.” Matthew 24:17-22 NKJV.

“Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it.7 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.8 For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.” Matthew 24:26-28 NKJV.

“Come near My Sons and Daughters and allow Me to fill you with My glory!

Come to Me, for I have everything you need to get through what is ahead.

I’ve told you that The Church is going out the way it came in.

Have you thought about that? Great glory requires death to SELF!

I have prepared, and been preparing My great Army for this hour.

There is nothing I won’t do for a laid down lover!

You must lay down your lives to pick up Mine!

Consider that Nineveh REPENTED and was saved from destruction.

Lot was saved from destruction, though not all that were his were saved, because I was not on their minds or in their hearts.

I know My Sheep and they know Me. They hear My Voice, and will not listen to the voice of another. Lean not on your own understanding but lean on Me!”

Do you remember how when there was that eclipse, that Amanda Grace was showing all the places in America that the eclipse was falling over in an X laid out over America, that there were many towns that were named Nineveh?

“Religious spirits are a great hindrance to hearing clearly. They confuse and manipulate you.

They put you under the curse again. So separate yourself from these false and vain teachings that separate you from My Grace!

You are saved by Grace, not by your perfectionistic works and striving.

Relax when Jezebel tries to get you to perform and work harder, and strive. Rest in My arms and worship. Rest is sometimes Warfare!

When I want you to go out and Do, I will speak to you or show you; give you a Vision or Word to lead you — so don’t strive.

Sometimes you will just feel led to do something, and there I will be! There is a rest appointed to the Sons and Daughters of God.

Dependence on Me is vital right now, so slow down and listen.

Worship in the beauty of Holiness!

Be honest with your emotions to Me.

Let out your frustrations and pain to Me. The Comforter is with you.

I AM in you!

So cling to Me, rest in My Arms of Love and each day bring to Me, all the things happening that disturb your peace of mind.

Let Me be your Peace!

I will lead you into the way everlasting.

I will take your hand and let Me remove all worry,unbelief, doubt and skepticism that tries to rob you.

I never give up on My own.

I will fight beside you in this battle and Lead you.

Struggles lie ahead, challenges to faith, but I will provide all that you need.

Do NOT rely on your flesh. Be conscious of lies being perpetrated in the name of worldly peace and world religion!

Thus… Chicanery!

Subterfuge has been the modus operendi for years and now plotting and planning of those who meet behind closed doors.

They are already hiding in caves and mountains thinking to escape the judgments, and the chaos they have been a part of planning.But all is unraveling before their eyes.

They will continue to try to take out whomever they can with them, but they will be victims of their own subterfuge, like Hamon.

Continue to battle, Daughters and sons of God, for there is a turn-around coming for all who have been willing to pay the price.

Be expectant! Do not speak or Prophesy out of depression and suspicion.

Only say what I say. For I will turn it all around on their own heads, for those who have disdained you.

You are saved by Grace — not by your perfectionistic works and striving.

Relax when Jezebel tries to get you to perform and work harder, and strive.

Rest in My Arms and worship. Rest is sometimes Warfare.

When I want you to go out and do, I will show you, give you a vision or word to lead you, so don’t strive.

Sometimes you will just feel led to do something, and there I will be! There is a rest appointed to the Sons and Daughters of God.

Dependence on Me is vital right now, so slow down, and listen.

Worship in the beauty of Holiness. Be honest with your emotions to Me. Let out your frustrations and pain to Me. The Comforter is with you. I AM in you.

So cling to Me, rest in My Arms of Love and each day bring to Me, all the things happening that disturb your peace of mind.

Let me be your Peace! I will lead you into the way everlasting.

I will take your hand and let Me remove all worry, unbelief, doubt and skepticism that tries to rob you.“
