Very long!
Again this is for people who are followers of Christ, not to those who only profess to be ‘Christian’ but lack the fruit of the Spirit. ‘Profession’ is drastically different than ‘action’. The Church must receive the truth and live it before we can preach it and reproduce it.
The churches are ordained to be the moral compass of the society. She is not to be a subculture nor conformed to the world. We see a ‘loveless’ Church. A Church that has NOT loved their God, His precepts and rule of Law. Therefore its ‘love’ is perverse and embraces perversity. The Church has lost its First Love – Jesus Christ. It has allowed sin into its walls and especially its heart when we should have the heart of Jesus Christ when He stated that He came to do the will of the Father. We see churches loving evil that God warned it about. People are being led astray by their own lustful desires and tendencies because they are more in love with their flesh and its desires than the love of God and His laws. To love God is to not only deny the flesh, but to die to it every day, walking in the Spirit and not according to the flesh!
Because we have allowed the world’s values wisdom to rule the heart of the churches and our hearts, we exchanged the truth for lies.
I read Proverbs 10 over and over tonight. It talks about the divide that occurs between sin and righteousness, and the symptoms (fruit) of one’s life to reveal a person’s heart. Law and Love cannot be separated in a righteous Kingdom. God is not a respecter of persons, and only those races/nations that fear Him are accepted by Him (Acts 10:34-35). God made it possible for anyone that fears Him to be accepted and receive salvation. But in His righteousness, He also lays the choice of everlasting ‘death’ (separation in the Lake of Fire).
The whole counsel of God further explains what it means to fear God and respect His holiness. One such place is Galatians 5. A list of actions and practices these things while they may profess God, actually denounce their love for Him. By their ‘fruit’ (actions/works) we will know if they are His or not. We are not saved by works, but our works reveal if we are saved. That is something the current generations of ‘churchy’ people following the doctrines of demons have forgotten. The ‘Emerging Church’ movement in its hypocrisy must embrace all sin if it embraces any sin. But they pick and choose. These people are NOT really brothers and sisters in Christ. Don’t be deceived, God will NOT be mocked in these heretical doctrines.
God’s righteousness demands repentance and submission (fearing Him) to His act of Love thru Jesus Christ! And a spirit of unforgiveness is ruling our culture. It is not a matter of injustice. For some it is, and we always need to mourn with those that mourn as we stand alongside one another and call out for justice. But we also are commanded to stand by those who have had their livelihoods and even that have lost loved ones in the midst of the rage and unforgiveness (which are NEVER of God). God’s plan is not a compromise between the sides we see coming to a ‘head’. But it is a counter-culture of truth and love that probably does not look much like is going on now. Those who don’t know God don’t see this.
I am calling upon authentic followers of Christ to stand up and speak truth and renounce injustices, rage and violence upon all sides. I will guarantee that the spirit of the anti-Christ will move his minions to ‘identify’ those that do a haters, racists and fascists when in fact he is the one who steals, kills and destroys. He IS the accuser of the brethren. He is the lawless one who hates law and justice. He sows discord and witchcraft (control and exaction). He builds ‘soul ties’ between the world and God’s churches. He keeps everyone under spirits of victimization and entitlement. God is a God of restoration outside of man’s actions. The Gospel of Jesus Christ now has a form of godliness, but denies the power to transform people. There is clear distinction between God’s ways and the psycho-babble that has entered the churches as ‘mankind’ justifies its lust for sin and the emerging church empowers the lusts against God and the righteous love of God.
God is looking for people to go into all the world preaching the Gospel (The Great Commission – Matt 28, Mark 16). The key is that we first experience God is His true Identity HE reveals to us like Isaiah did in (Isaiah 6). Then we will be humbled by each of our own sins. Our culture, all the races, both genders need a refreshing.
“Therefore repent and convert so that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.” Acts 3:19
Refreshing will only come as we each repent, converting to His ways (submitting) and THEN refreshing (recovery of breath, life) will come. Jesus came to give life and life’s abundancy. (Check out that Christ comes after we do Acts 3:20.) Like Isaiah, we need to experience the Lord’s presence. Much of the Church has experienced only the world’s ways and the hurts of this world. Refreshing brings healing, love, forgiveness, sacrifice, peace, joy, love, patience, kindness, longsuffering, etc.
So in summary, if being a Christian is that there is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for someone else. And to love your enemies and pray for them. Then the symptoms of our culture of injustices reveals a godless, and even a anti-Christ culture. It doesn’t mean we don’t take stands, nor stand up for injustices. But it does mean we don’t get even or promote evil acts to respond to evil acts of others whether current or in the past – whether you’re a cop, a politician, a certain race, a male, a female, rich or poor.
The Gospel is to love God
The Gospel is to hate evil
The Gospel is to love those who persecute you
The Gospel is above repentance
The Gospel is about turning from your evil ways
The Gospel is to do good
The Gospel is about transformation
The Gospel is about Jesus’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven
Evil wants to kill, steal and destroy, and any heart that wants to do the same is evil. But again scripture states that untransformed hearts are all evil beyond all things.
BUT, love covers a multitude of sin!
Choose love!
Choose Christ!
It’s time to restore the Gospel as the pinnacle of the Church, and to promote it as the ONLY hope for our country. To deny this, is to deny Christ!
Be blest, and pray for God to Rock our world! It’s time for the “birth pangs” of revival and Jesus’s return to increase to get everyone’s attention!
