These are perilous times we are in. And especially in America!
I don’t remember ever writing the type of blog I am today, but I feel compelled
to talk about the flux we seem to be experiencing, because time is of the
essences!
As followers of Christ and Bible believing Christians, we
are to look for the evidence of “fruit”
concerning anyone who claims to be a Christian and follower of Christ. Our
Messiah himself said, “You will know them by their fruits. Do
men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad
fruit.” (click
to read Matthew 7:15-20)
What is the fruit He is referring to? Well
for starters let’s look at the fruit of the Holy Spirit. “But the fruit
of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern
for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we
act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness,
self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to
Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature together with its passions and
appetites.” Galatians 5:22-24
(Amp)
It’s time to stop listening to people and really dig our
heals into the Word of God and remember who we follow. And it is not a particular
group or party of people—it is, Jesus the Christ!
Many who profess to be followers of Christ are rallying
around a man running for the Republican nomination to run for President of the
United States, yet he shows no good fruit. And Jesus warns us and instructs us to
know who is real and who is not according to the fruit they produce.
Love is kind; this man is far from kind. Love does not brag
and is not proud or arrogant—he is all three of these things. Love is not rude,
I have found none ruder. Love is not overly sensitive or easily angered; say
anything against him and he spits venom. Love is not easily provoked, he is not
only easily provoked but his speech is one of hate and he is a bully.
Paul instructs that in Christ, we are to put away filthy and
perverse communications, yet it seem this candidate doesn’t know this, because
he uses profane and perverse language on a daily bases. He demeans women and
people of other cultures and races who are not Caucasian. He also incites his
followers to use violence.
But I’m not finished yet, because it now seems that some Christian
leaders and pastors are backing him. And I say seems, because I’ve seen a video
and read an article concerning this. And I can’t say for sure these things were
not doctored and the article laced with untruths, but I haven’t seen anyone
come forth to deny or set the record straight. Therefore, this is alarming to me,
because the article implied that these leaders of mega churches and ministries
are concerned about their money. Again, not sure this is true—but we need to be
seeking God.
Here’s the deal, do not repost or talk poorly against these
leaders and pastors…go to God about this and pray for them. There is the side
the press is giving us, their side and then the truth. Who knows the truth? God
does, so we take it to Him.
It is time for us to come together and really pray for our
country, but even more so for the Church.
The Church (in America) seems to be
lukewarm at best. We have so much that is wrong within ourselves. There are too
many of us following and sitting under people we have no business being near.
Why? Because we have been too lazy to study and read the bible for ourselves, and
it is coming to the point; many of us are going to reap a harvest for being so lackadaisical.
It breaks my heart that television shows such as “Preachers of LA and
Atlanta” are so popular among the saints as entertainment and that many
after seeing this foolishness are still part of their congregations. It is a sad testimony
to Christ.
Paul warns there will be a great falling away from the Church,
and on Judgment Day, many who think they will get into
Heaven will hear our Lord say, “I tell you I do not know you,
where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.”
Sisters, some of you are not right with God.
In fact you only know of Christ, but not truly who He is or his finished work
on the Cross. It is not too late, but you must act now!
Stop making up rules as you go and following the god you
have made up in your own mind. Repent, and follow Christ! Stop following what
people have told you. Read and study the Bible for yourself. Get to know the true
and living God.
And for those of you, who know Him, dig in
even closer. Pray for the Church, your brothers and sisters, the lost, our
government and the world. Stop wasting time praying for stuff. America is in
big trouble!
When you look back at times God had, had enough with Israel you will see one of those times was when they
started offering up their babies as sacrifices to other gods.
These were children born of adultery and fornication.
America’s modern day version of this is abortion. A woman’s right to sin as
much as she chooses and not pay the consequences. God says, “sodomy” is a sin against Him.” America
made it legal. God is against those who do not take care of the poor, widows
and orphans. America is such a big failure in all of those areas, because the
rich keep getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. And last but not
least—we have not been good to Israel lately and that puts God against us.
Even if you do not agree with everything I
have said, I pray you agree that we need to spend more time praying about these
life situations.
I am witnessing people falling away from the
Church, and becoming Muslims. I am watching the Word of God being watered down,
so people can sin with a clear conscience. I am seeing more and more Christians
afraid to stand and do what is right. In Roman’s Paul explains that in the last
days and times, God is going to turn people over to a reprobate mind. I don’t
know about you, but I am seeing it happen.
Sisters, pray daily for peace in Jerusalem. Try starting a prayer group in your home once a week, were all you do is pray for the
lost and those who have turned lukewarm toward Christ. Or find a sister to pray weekly
with on the phone and not about your problems, but the problems of this world, and the Chruch.
It’s time for us to get our act together! It's time to stop messing around and get serious about what we see going on in
the Church, our government, schools, families, neighborhoods, and especially
the lost. We don’t need to been seen in groups, or hash it out over Facebook.
No, we just need to—read and study our bibles—watch and pray! Amen!
Until next week...
