Read Text (Opening Prayer)
Isa 33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
Those of you who know this ministry know that I am not just a preacher but I am a prophetic Voice to my generation and I have been hearing something in my spirit for the last days several days and it has been getting louder and louder.
As we look around us today it seems as though the whole worlds gone crazy, It seems as though there are no longer any reference points.
When the prodigal son in the scriptures came to himself in the pigpen after wasting his substance, and wasting his life on riotous, self pleasing, desires, he remembered where he came from, he had a reference point.
He remembered his fathers house, he remembered what was good and what was evil, he remembered what faithfulness and honesty and integrity and dignity looked like.
He remembered what it felt like to be loved not on the basis of what he could do or the money that he had, but just for who he was. (He remembered all of that).
But this society has gone crazy, it’s as though we (this society this generation) has been sucked up into a tornado and we are spinning out of control.
Elijah the prophet went up to heaven in a whirlwind of fire, but this nation and this generation is going down to hell in a whirlwind of hells fire.
This is no longer just the society that sins and does wrong and does evil, No sir no mam this is now the society that runs with passion and zeal to find the most wicked and perverse things that they can do to pervert truth and rebel against God, to spit in his face and to make a mockery of the cross and the blood of Jesus.
We are quickly becoming a zombifide people.
A zombie is defined as: the body of a dead person given the semblance of life but mute and Will less (No will) controlled by a supernatural force for some evil purpose.
That's what happening in this nation people are becoming zombifide (you see in order to become a zombie you have to surrender your will and once you surrender your will to evil then evil controls you.
that's what we see happening not only in America but around the world, nations are being driven by evil powers as puppets on a string.
They are murderous; acting without any concern for human life, their thirst for power and World dominance has made them mad. (They’re off their rockers, they’ve lost it) They’ve gone off the deep end.
There is not a shred of decency or human compassion left to stabilize their actions.
In video cameras today even in our smart phones we have something built into them called a stabilizer.
Some how while you're filming it keeps the pictures steady even though the phone is moving and bouncing around.
Airplanes also have these stabilizing capabilities: An aircraft is considered stable when there is no rotation motion or tendancy and aircraft is stable if it returns to its initial equilibrium flight conditions when it's perturbed or disturbed or experiences turbulence.
But if that initial equilibrium or point of balance and stability is lost it is impossible to bring it back into a state of Perpetual stability.
That is what is happening in America the initial equilibrium that we had in this country that was established in our trust and faith in God and obedience to his righteous commandments has been lost and we are a nation in free fall
That means that there are no restraints, there are no efforts being made to pull back on the yoke or pull up, or bring us back to course.
All stabilizing factors, all common sense, all goodness and decency are being rejected on every hand.
Thank God for what our newly elected president and leaders are trying to do but a president can't fix the soul of this nation.
Its not a color thing its not a political party thing and its not even a money thing (it's a soul thing. (Satan is bidding for the soul of this nation) and we as a nation are in free fall and this country is spinning out of control.
To a large degree we have become zombified and we’re completely oblivious to what is happening in the world, like the zombie nothing affects us, nothing makes us happy nothing makes us sad, nothing makes us cry, nothing makes us angry, nothing evokes joy in us. It’s just going through the motions, and the sad part about is (this society wants it that way).
That way there is no conscience, they can perform every evil sexually perverse thing with no sense of wrong, they can commit murder, and mayhem with no consciousness of guilt or shame.
Just a few days ago in Michigan (United States of America) Not some deep dark Jungle in Africa, not a deep dark corner in India.
But right here in the good ole us of a (A doctor was accused of mutilating the genitals of young girls
Her defence was it is part of our religious practices.
This doctor was one of two who were both charged with conspiring to perform female genital mutilations on minor girls.
Authorities believe they have done this to several other young girls between the ages of 6-9 years old.
In 2014 an Oklahoma city man went into a womans work place and cut off her head.
Then in February 2016 It was reported that in 16 months Oklahoma had experienced four more decapitations.
Pastor this is gruesome (why are you telling us this?)
Because this is the real world: This is what America is becoming.
Because too many preachers won’t tell the truth, they want to keep their people medicated and sedated, and in a catatonic state, just following along in a zombifide state oblivious to the world around them.
They keep them drugged up on feel good messages that never deal with sin, or the consequences, and don’t tell them how to have power over sin and the devil.
The bible commands those who watch over the souls of men to lift their voices like a trumpet and sound the alarm.
Isaiah said : Cry aloud and spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet and show my people their transgressions and the house of Jacob their sins.
America is in a free fall spiraling to destruction, and much of the church world is just sitting around singing cumbayah.
Sin is in the church: Homosexuality, lesbianism, drinking, gambling, fornication, adultery, pornography, sexual perversion, lust, pride, hypocrisy, false doctrine (telling everybody that it doesn’t matter what they do or how they live, that its already covered, your already justified they say, there’s no judgement with God, there’s no consequences to your sin, go ahead and fornicate, go ahead and lust and commit adultery, go ahead and practice homosexuality and lesbianism, (they say) the blood of Jesus has it all covered, and by the way there’s no such place as hell anyway, that was just something invented by some angry condemning religious zealots.
No hell was not the invention of law preaching condemning religious zealots.
Mt 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
And the bible says because of the pride and rebellion of man Hell has enlarged herself to receive them.
Isa 5:14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
Beloved I am a positive preacher and I love to encourage people and build them up, but you don’t heal a cancer by putting a band aid on it.
It either has to be burned out or cut out.
Our country including much of the church world today has been thrown off balance and they have lost their stability, they have lost their stabilizing factor.
For just a few minutes I want to present to you what can stabilize the church, what can stabilize America.
What can bring us back to true center and true north.
There is hope yet for America and there is yet hope for the laodician modern lukewarm church.
And there is hope for you and I (No matter how out of balance and out of control things are around us)
There is a stabilizing factor: But I’m not going to lie about it, it’s not going to be easy and a lot of people even church people will not accept it.
But it is not in my power to make people live right, but it is in my power and it is my responsibility to show them how.
Mal 2:7 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
And again the bible says:
Ezekial 22:26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
In our text it is as though God is looking right down into the 21st century and He I seeing all the confusion, and all the perversion and all the chaos, and in His everlasting mercy and goodness He is saying……
I Can help you, there is hope, I can get you back on course, I can bring stability back into your life.
Church if we’ve ever needed anything in this world today and in the church: It’s a stabilizing factor.
This whole world is a ticking time bomb:
Many times I have been in Oklahoma before a big storm hit and even though it was a beautiful day, you could feel the instability in the atmosphere.
The atmosphere in this country, and the world is unstable, it’s volatile, it’s explosive.
It could go off any minute, only now it’s not bullets, and canon balls (it’s nuclear interballistic missiles that can take out a whole country.
Everybody is stretching their muscles trying to prove to each other how powerful they are.
Its not interballistic missiles that we need, and it’s not missile interceptors, that we need, It’s the presence the power and the glory of God that we need.
There is a path back to the glory and back to a place of protection and power (back to the place of stability).
It’s right here in this verse.
Isa 33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
Wisdom and Knowledge (Not human intellectual wisdom or intelligence) Not nuclear wisdom and knowledge, not political wisdom and knowledge.
Godly wisdom and knowledge: Divine God given Holy Spirit imparted wisdom.
Now lets get to the heart of the matter
What is Godly Holy Spirit Imparted Wisdom?
Pr 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
The Fear of the Lord is where wisdom comes from: Wisdom springs from the source of the fear of the Lord.
That is why our country has gone crazy, that is why America is in a free fall, that is why we are spiraling into destruction.
That is why the church is to a large degree a laughing stock of the world today, just more material for some filthy sitcom to use to ridicule and criticize the church.
That’s why the church (I use that term loosely because there is a remnant church) though few by contrast, they are the pure in heart and they are true to the word of God and true to the leading of the HolySpirit.
But this psuedo church, this lukewarm, church without a cross, without repentance without the blood, without the presence and the power and the glory of God (they have lost the fear of God.
Ro 3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Isa 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
God says: Their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men ( In other words God says they have no true fear of God anymore because they have been taught by the precept of man a false fear, an unbiblical fear, a deceptive fear, a diluted fear, a comfortable fear.
And the church has largely been the guilty party because for so long we preachers have tried to make people comfortable around God, take the rough edges off, smooth him down, make Christianity easy to take. We have tried to make it palatable easy to swallow.
And we have stripped the true fear of God out of the church and out of the hearts of the people.
Preachers have told their people that the fear of God is just a respect, just an attitude of honor and appreciation that doesn’t want to hurt God.
Friend for just a couple more minutes I want to show you from Gods word what the fear of the Lord looks like.
Pr 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Pr 14:27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
2Co 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
The problem we have is we haven’t been taught the true fear of God:
We’ve forgotten the God of the bible:
The God of the Bible: The one who wiped out the human race except for Noah and his family in the ark.
The God of the Bible: The one who opened up the red sea and swallowed up the Egyptians, The one who opened up the earth and swallowed up the sons of Korah,
The God of the bible: (The who burned up the two sons of Aaron because they offered to him strange fire).
The God of the bible: The one who rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The God of the bible: The one who sent poisonous serpents among the people and many of them died, because of their sin.
Oh but Pastor that was the Old God: He was angry in the old testament (Our God is the new testament God) He’s all grace and mercy, He’s not angry anymore, He’s calm, He’s better adjusted now, He’s on Prozac and valiums
Somebody should have told Ananaias and Saphira about that: Because they didn’t get the memo.
You know the story of a Man and his wife who tried to deceive the HolyGhost
They lied about the price of the land they sold and how much they received for it.
Acts 5:5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
Acts 5:7-10 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
What was the result of this?
Acts 5:11-12 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
Ac 9:31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
I am prophesying to you today: that one of the Marks of this last day outpouring is going to be a drastic and sudden return to the fear of God.
That’s the only thing that can put the church back on track, and back in equilibrium, We must have a New vision and desire for the fear of God to take hold on the church and on our lives.
Pr 10:27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
Pr 14:26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
Pr 14:27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
I don’t know what all this means: I don’t know what God is going to do, or the means He is going to use, but I do know this (We better get ready, because there is a major house cleaning coming to the church, and along with it is coming a healthy dose of the fear of God..
