As our family was celebrating New Years Eve last night my heart was actually grieving. The church is sleeping especially in America more than we know. The Lord spoke to my heart last night and gave me a glimpse of alot of wickedness that is going on in the world. Not a dream or vision but just some things He allowed me to see and it grieved my heart.
Satan it seems and his cohorts are much more active than the church. Politicians and liberals are all busy with their agendas. The word ignorantly even thinks they are for them whether conservative or liberal but they have agendas that the world is not even aware of such as a new world order.The agenda is not theirs but the god of this world. Satan is a deciever and the father of all lies. He is not for the unsaved and definately not the saved. Yes, satan has an agenda but God has a plan.
The lost are living in darkness and they love to have it so. They are busy fulfilling thier lust and the desires of thier flesh and do not want to come to the light that thier deeds may be exposed. It's the work of the church though to shine our light in the darkness but the church is busy and it's not at all about our father's business.
Judgement must begin first with the house of God. This is a principle not just a plan. You cannot help another when you have a beam in your own eye. The church cannot see clearly when it is busy about many things which have nothing at all to do with holiness. How much of what you talk about has to do with holiness? I'm not talking about theology Im talking about loving God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and your neighbor as yourself?
If what you talk about is for example 99% theology and 1% about what are the things that are most important to God and how we should go better about doing it than you have missed the will of God totally. Your heart is not right because out of the abundance of the heart our mouths do speak.
What is coming out of your mouth? Is it producing fruit in your life or the lives of others? When your in a room or forum with others do you sense the spirit of God or pride and selfish ambition? This is a gift God has given to the church and it's called discernment. This is a very important gift as with all gifts having their own importance.
When faced with these problems as discribed in the church it is the duty of christians to pray and ask God what would you have me to do? God does not answer everyone the same in every circumstance.
We are facing many crossroads in the church today but thier is only one main road. Christians and the world are facing perilous times and I believe that because our blinders are on we are going to be caught unaware and with our gaurd down and it will be to our own loss and the loss of those for whom Christ died.
I wish above all things that the church would wake up but how much more does God!
