1Jn 3:22 “And whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.”
A major reason prayers aren’t answered is that we have lost our First Love – Jesus! Living in Christ means to love what He loves and hate what He hates. To only do what His Father is doing. The modern, apostate church has ‘preached’ that obedience is legalism. Hogwash! (Kosher?) An assault of deception and witchcraft has entered the Church through paganism and New Age involvement.
The Church once looked to the Creator God of the Bible for all its answers. Now, it has become a harlot with the world, trying to seek answers within the wisdom of ‘paganistic practices’. No wonder scripture says in the last days men will despise Truth, and love evil. They will turn from sound doctrine and follow doctrines of demons. Rather than fanning the flames of passion to God, they are seeking the lusts of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life.
The churches have left sound doctrine and are being tossed back and forth by every ‘new doctrine’ that comes along whether from within or from the world. The churches have exchanged the power found within the Gospel that transforms people’s lives from darkness into light, from death into life, and from trash into treasures. They have settled for religious experiences of comfortability, entertainment and a professional orchestration of a created ‘atmosphere’.
There is a spiritual war consuming the Church and its people. It’s not a flesh and bone war. It only is fought through spiritual tactics and weapons. At its core is the need of the saints to pray without ceasing with a faith can move mountains. The Mountains of cancer, drugs, alcohol, divorce, abortion, sexual perversity, gender dysphoria, identity confusion, depression, hate, rape, incest, witchcraft, schizophrenia, abuse, PTSD, etc. can be destroyed easily and completely through the power of the Gospel!!!
The sad part: Very few are equipped for such a battle. Repentance, obedience and humility are the keys to release God’s power through the inflamed Church! Not only does the 21st century churches create immature believers, they freeze them in the infant state of belief and action. People are ready to see and experience the Gospel in its fullness! But, the churches haven’t experienced it themselves first. And, you can’t share what you don’t have.
Wake Up churches!
Come Alive to the power of the Gospel!
Jesus is coming back sooner than you may think. Or you may just go see Him sooner than you think. Are you ready? is your family ready? Are your friends ready? Enemies?
t’s time to return to repentance, humility and obedience! Then, our prayers will become effective and powerful. No weapon formed against us will prosper over us. We will see the miracles, signs and wonders that He wants to demonstrate to the world around us through US! We are His vessels to fill and use. Not even the gates of hades themselves can stand up to the obedient Church. Our prayers will be answered!
