I find myself praying not so much for America as I do for the churches. Shallow leaders wrapped up in fleshly and sinful lifestyles, unrepentant and rebellious. Leaders who spend more time talking about and seeking out worldly desires and doctrines of ‘men’ rather than the Truth of God. Leaders who covenant with their pain and victimhood rather than the redemption and restorative power of the Gospel. Watching leaders celebrating their pain as a badge of honor rather than putting on the breast plate of righteousness. Leaders falling for the social gospel rather than the Kingdom Gospel. Leaders assigned to our youth and hurting that they themselves haven’t attained nor experienced the freedom that a mature and miraculous encounter with Jesus Christ can release. They talk about something they haven’t experienced. What a shame! No wonder people don’t want the 21st century version of Christianity!
I feel blest that I was mentored and discipled by people who experienced the power of the Gospel. They allowed it to ‘rock’ my world! They wielded the sword of the Spirit in a way that sickness subsided, demons departed and wholeness was wonderfully attained. Now, it has been my calling in life to release the ‘testimony’ of my experience to others. Allowing the Truth to set the captives free. And YES, it destroys depression, anxiety, fear, addictions, guilt, shame, condemnation, suicide and every other attribute of the ‘fall of humanity’! And yet, most don’t want to chase after it by chasing after Him. They would rather walk in offense and pride. God has made it so easy to attain. But because of our desires for evil, selfishness and wickedness, we choose darkness.
I pray for repentance and restoration to occur within the hearts of those in the churches. Humility and submission to God and to one another is vital and necessary to attain what God has planned for those who are truly His. Hearts are growing cold, deception is being propagated within our churches and the ‘progressive’ gospel of perversity and lustful love has replaced the Agape’ love that leads to obedience and the denial of self.
Today is a great to die! Die to ourselves! Die to our worldly desires! Die to our flesh!
Today is a great day to live! live as Christ! Live according to the Spirit! Live in the abundancy of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ!
These two sides of the same coin, allow us to raise up current and future leaders because they are followers of Christ. We all have problems, but the problems don’t determine the futures of those walking in the Spirit. Whether we are currently having a mountaintop experience, or are wandering in the valley of the shadow of death, our God doesn’t change nor should our walk with Him.
Pray with me that our churches grow and reproduce matures believers that are equipped with the Truth and power of the Gospel to be more than conquerors through Christ. Pray that our churches don’t just look for anyone to lead our ministries or our youth, but people ordained and empowered with the Gospel that gives life and not just activities. Pray that our churches set apart those called by God and allow opportunities for them to experience the Gospel and the Kingdom coming. Pray that God will ruin the cute little religious belief system and replace it with a world changing Great Commission calling and army prepared to do His bidding here on earth.
What say ye? Are you onboard with God’s plan no matter how much it hurts the flesh and your desires? Or are you going to jump ship, and float with world ‘down stream’? It’s time to swim against the current of culture! Why? Because Christ loves them enough to die for them, and loved them enough to place YOU here for such a time as this! Start swimming!!! Start Praying!!! Start seeking Him with all your substance and with all your heart!!! Watch how God will use you to impact eternity and empower you to lift others beyond sins grasp and control!!!
I hope to see you all soon at church, or a ministry, or a retreat, or a Bible Study, or all of them and so much more!!!
Ain’t nobody got time for religiosity! Real deal, or no deal! Real Godliness, or destructive godlessness! Real victory, or painful defeat! Real faith, or hopeless future! You choose!!!
He chose you, but you must choose Him!
