Corrections are Still Needed Today in the Churches (Updated)
Good morning.
There is a time for us to keep silent.
There is also a time to speak up and be heard and counted for the glory of God.
You will find it in the book of Ecclesiastes 3, and verse 7.
The verse says:
“A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak.”
I can’t keep silent on so much of the ‘fluff’ I am hearing today from the body of Christ.
This is a corrective word from The LORD, I felt in my spirit to re-share today.
I don’t believe for the most part it was even heard or received. It grieved my spirit.
So many times people don’t prepare to stand, because things look so gloomy. They just go on down!
They had rather buy the lie of just smooth sailing ahead.
God can take away the gloom and doom and fill our hearts with joy.
The LORD always leaves His Holy Remnant with hope!
He will give us fresh vision and strength for the evil days that lie ahead.
Here is the original Word in it’s entirety:
“Corrections are Still Needed Today in the Churches”
December 24, 2023.
This is what I hear The Spirit of The LORD speaking this Day:
“The Church is broken daughter. I want you to fix it!
Is it just you I AM calling on? Of course not — but whoever will hear the sound of My Voice.”
“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James 1:22
“I AM calling many in these last days to rise up and be The Church of The Living God.
How? By delivering My Word far and wide.
Give Me audience for a while, My children!”
“Seek ye The LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto The LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” Isaiah 55:6-7
“Persecution is coming far and wide, much more than has ever been.
Still there will be many who turn to righteousness as you My People plead with them.
Give them manna from above My Children.
Let them alone, the blind for they both shall fall in the ditch.”
“And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?” Luke 6:39
“Give honor to whom honor is due surely — but let go of the past!”
“Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.” Romans 13:7
“Be at peace, rest for I will come on the scene to lead and guide you surely.
My People how do you fix what is broken? By taking heed to your ways.”
“I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.” Psalm 38:1
“Do you want more or do you want the smooth prophecy whereby you shall hear a lie often times from the ones out there?
Give it to them straight My Daughter.
The real Gospel shall cost you — but what shall you give for your souls in exchange?”
“Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Mark 8:37
“I AM calling you higher — and the reward is great! It is to sit in My Presence and hear from a Holy God.”
“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.” Revelation 4:1
“Penning Words from the Throne Room must line up with My Holy Word — or throw it away My people!
Showtime is Over!
Give them the real, and tell My People to get in the Written Word, so they even know when they are hearing a lie!”
Look at the Bereans who checked the scriptures daily to see if it was so.
“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Acts 17:10-11
As I always say we must compare scripture with other scriptures. Also read verses surrounding for more meaning.
God bless you all.

My name is Joyce D. McGuire, called to work in and for the Kingdom of God! To lead we must try to follow Jesus Christ closely. That is my heart. I am a Chaplain to the prisons; prophetic intercessor by His grace; author; and a Mother in the Kingdom of God. To many I am simply Mama Joyce. Some favorite verses of mine are Matthew 11:28-30.
Dear Chaplain Joyce-
You have been obedient, my sister, to faithfully deliver His Word. I can confirm, witness, to your post.
For so long now, I have been hearing ‘prepare…tough times ahead’. No fear -just a ‘knowing’. I’m in peace, yet we know what we know by the Spirit. So many dont want to believe, that God would take the Church out of (spiritual) Disneyland. The endtimes are not a party atmosphere – it is a spiritual battlefield (think Macabees) for the souls of earth.
The true gospel- as the Church teeters at the door of endtime events colliding- is to share the ‘whole counsel of God’. Preparing people for the time of Jacob’s trouble, the 70th Week,soon days ahead.
He will fill us w/ His presence and supply the manna of His presence, daily.
The apostate Church will always be offended by holiness. Truth requires repentance and vision. No rose colored glasses. A lukewarm gospel will take out 30 and 60-fold christians more quickly than persecution ever could.
The persecuted church in other places, these places are thriving and growing. The miraculous is a daily occurrence – b/c they’ve lost everything in the natural – but they have all of heaven.
When Gabriel blows the Shofar, and the King returns, I pray we be found standing in truth.
Elizabeth, I’m so glad it was a confirmation to you. You brought out so many true, good points of the shape the church is in today.
Just to know I feel a strong kinship to you, even though we haven’t met. I pray if we are to meet on this side, the Lord will bring it all about. Many blessings on your day sis. The Lord sees all your ‘Sacrifices.’ I feel that very strong to tell you that in the spirit. It is bringing tears to my eyes. Thank you and much love, Joyce ❤️
Amen Sister! I feel the Lord putting this urgency in my own life for awhile now! Praise God for His truth. It’s time we all realize as God’s children, what we do, both Good and bad, right or unrighteous effects everyone in your circle that God has placed you, or me in. We must have the holy fear of God, to walk as He would have us. Not just for ourselves, it effects all God puts in our path, or circle. Thank uou for this word.
Mary, you are so right. All we do effects those around us. No one ever lives or dies just for themselves. Yes, to having the Holy fear of God! May we realize the eternal purpose God has for us all. We are to bring glory and give All glory to God! Are we learning to love like Jesus? Do we find our True identity in Jesus Christ alone? I have a piece to go but I know we are being perfected in His Great love. ❤️
Yes Amen LORD
God bless you Wong. ❤️
