JEREMIAH 2:13 ONLY ACKNOWLEDGE THINE INIQUITY,THAT THOU HAST TRANSGRESSED AGAINST THE LORD THY GOD,AND HAST SCATTERED THY WAYS TO THE STRANGERS UNDER EVERY GREEN TREE,AND YE HAVE NOT OBEYED MY VOICE,SAITH THE LORD.
THE OUESTION IS OFTEN ASKED WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CHURCH TODAY?
WHY DOES SHE HAVE SO LITTLE POWER?
THE ANSWER IS FOUND IN THE WORD OF GOD,THERE ARE THREE THINGS THAT ARE RENDERING OUR CHURCHES POWERLESS TODAY.
( 1 )THERE IS COMPROMISE INSTEAD OF REPENTANCE.
A. THERE IS COMPROMISE WITH THE WORLD.YOU CAN NOT TELL CHRISTIANS FROM THE WORLD.
THEY GO TO THE SAME MOVIES,WATCH THE SAME T.V. SHOWS,WALK AND TALK LIKE THE WORLD,LISTEN TO THE SAME MUSIC AS THE WORLD.
MY GRAND DAD USE TO SAY IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK,QUACKS LIKE A DUCK,THEN IT MUST BE A DUCK.
JAMES 4:4 YE ADULTERERS AND ADULTERESSES,KNOW YE NOT THAT THE FREINDSHIP OF THE WORLDIS ENIMITY WITH GOD?WHOSOEVER THEREFORE WILL BE A FREIND OF THE WORLD IS THE ENEMY OF GOD.
B. THERE IS COMPROMISE WITH SIN.
MANY THINK IT'S OKAY TO ACT AND DO ANYTHING YOU WANT AS LONG AS YOU GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAYS.
LET ME ASSURE YOU OF ONE THING THERE IS A RECKONING DAY A COMING FOR SIN.
YOU MAY FOOL YOUR FREINDS,YOU MAY FOOL THE PREACHER,BUT YOU WILL NOT FOOL GOD.
ISAIAH 5:20 WOE UNTO THEM THAT CALL EVIL GOOD,THAT PUT DARKNESS FOR LIGHT,AND LIGHT FOR DARKNESS;THAT PUT BITTER FOR SWEET AND SWEET FOR BITTER.
YOU MAY GET BY WITH IT FOR A WHILE,BUT SIN IS JUST LIKE A BLOOD HOUND IT WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND BITE YOU.YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT.
C. THERE IS COMPROMISE WITH BIBLE DOCTRINE.
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THE BIBLE WAS WHAT WE LOOKED TO FOR ANSWERS,NOW WE JUST PICK AND CHOOSE.
PREACHERS WILL NOT PREACH ABOUT SALVATION THROUGH THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.THEY DON'T WANT TO OFFEND NO ONE.
YOU DON'T HERE MESSAGES ON HOLY LIVING ANYMORE.SUBJECTS LIKE HELL AND THE DANGERS OF IT OR REPENTANCE,ARE REPLACED WITH FEEL GOOD PROSPERITY MESSAGES.
NO WONDER WE DON'T SEE PEOPLE CRYING OUT TO GOD ANYMORE.
2 TIMOTHY 4:1 & 2 (1)I CHARGE THEE THEREFORE BEFORE GOD,AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,WHO SHALL JUDGE THE QUICK AND THE DEAD AT HIS APPEARING AND HIS KINGDOM;
(2)PREACH THE WORD,BE INSTANT IN SEASON,OUT OF SEASON;REPROVE,REBUKE,EXHORT WITH ALL LONGSUFFERING AND DOCTERINE.
PREACHERS IT IS TIME TO START CRYING OUT AGAINST SIN,QUIT COMPROMISING WITH THE WORLD. AND CRY OUT REPENT,REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND.
THERE IS STALENESS INSTEAD OF EXPECTANCY
THE EARLY CHRISTIANS WERE LOOKING FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD,THE CHURCH TODAY HAS BECOME STALE,MANY ARE LIVING AS IF CHRIST WILL NEVER COME.
WE NEED TO OPEN OUR EYES AND START LIVING THE WAY GOD HAS COMMANDED US. THIS COULD BE THE DAY THIS COULD BE THE HOUR,THAT JESUS COMES.
MATTHEW 24:42 WATCH THEREFORE;FOR YE KNOW NOT WHAT HOUR YOUR LORD DOTH COME.
THERE IS CONFUSION INSTEAD OF STRONG BELIEF.
GOD'S PEOPLE ARE FAILING TO STAND FOR THE TRUTH.
WE STOOD BY AS THEY TOOK PRAYER OUT OF SCHOOLS.WE STAND BY AS MANY STATES DECLARE THAT MARRIAGE IS NO LONGER BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN.WE STAND BY AS OUR JUDICAL SYSTEM SAYS WE CAN NO LONGER DISPLAY THE TEN COMMANDENTS IN GOVERMENT BUILDINGS.
IT IS TIME WE AS CHRISTIANS STAND UP AND SAY THESE THINGS WERE AN ABOMINATION IN JUDAH AND THEY ARE A ABOMINATION IN THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
JOHN 7:17 IF ANY MAN WILL DO HIS WILL,HE SHALL KNOW OF THE DOCTRINE WHETHER IT BE OF GOD ,OR WHETHER I SPEAK OF MY SELF.
PASTORS WILL YOU JOIN ME IN SAYING ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.I AM GOING TO STAND FOR GOD AND WHAT HIS WORD SAYS, IM GOING TO PREACH THE WORD,BE INSTANT IN SEASON,OUT OF SEASO ,REPROVE,REBUKE,EXHORT WITH ALL LONG SUFFERING.
CHURCHES WILL YOU JOIN ME IN SAYING I AM GOING TO STAN FOR THE TRUTH OF GODS WORD,AND TRY MY BEST TO LIVE BY IT.
WILL YOU ALL JOIN ME IN PRAYING GOD POUR OUT A SPRIT FILLED REVIVAL UPON THIS LAND,GIVES US A GREAT OUT POUDING OF YOUR SPRIT.
MAY OUR CHURCHES ONCE AGAIN BECOME VESSELS OF HONOR FOR THE MASTERS USE.
