Summary: Words that soak into your ears are whispered---not yelled
SEVEN THINGS WE NEED TO HAPPEN IN THE CHURCH
Jer: 8:14Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
1. If all the sleepers would wake up
Luke 22: 46And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
The church needs to wake up
The church needs to pray
The church needs to steer from temptation
2.THE LUKEWARM NEED TO FIRE UP
Rev: 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
The church has been cold long enough
We have sit back to long
We need to be hot are cold one
3.THE DISHONEST NEED TO CONFESS UP
1st Samuel 8:3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
Walking out of the will of God
Bribes from Satan
Confess up now and FIRE UP.
Forgive your enemies ,it messes up their head
4.THE DISGRUNTLED NEED TO SWEETEN UP
Proverbs 29 : 22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
Stop being a trouble maker
If your mad get it out
You will hurt the church no help it
5.THE DISCOURAGED NEED TO CHEER UP
Deut: 1:21 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
Things could be worse
We could have lost it all like JOB
Remember life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
6. THE DRY BONES NEED TO SHAKE UP
Ezek : 37; 4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
Hear me folks you are alive
Hear God speaking to you rise up and live
Hear him calling you to move him.
7. ALL TRUE SOLDIERS NEED TO STAND UP
Exodus 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
Stand up and see your salvation work
Stand up and let God use you
Stand up and shout
