Brooding

I feel the presence of the Holy One stirring up the waters.

Travail.

We're in a war, and it's like the two armies are about to collide like never before. This is not a skirmish, it's a head-on assault.

Through the past decades, I fear the church has grown comfortable, fat, and happy. We've assumed that since all seems to be going "well", God must agree with our lifestyle.

But what if we're losing?
In His Word, God did not guarantee that He would never leave this nation.

America is not God's chosen people.


Nevertheless, His heart longs for the people in this land to awaken to their destiny! There has to be an awakening in the church, or God will judge this land. How am I so sure?

What if all this doomsday speaking was just hype to get people to join our groups, ministries, and organizations, and really, God is happy with the way things are?

Is God okay with murder?
Will He remain silent while His beloved ones are raped and used for the pleasure of demons and evil men?
Can He not act when He hears the cry of millions upon millions of innocent children being slaughtered without mercy?
Will He remain silent while His people are corrupted before the TV with one sex scene here, one murder scene there, a little joke about sin there, while the enemy whispers in our ears, "It's okay, it just shows who the are. It's character development. It's not sin to see someone else's sin, is it? You'll feel better after watching another one."

I cannot cry loud enough.
I cannot pray long enough.
My soul is learning well the ways of war; of travail and intercession.
But I will not stand for sin in the camp.

Is it too brazen to drive a spear through two lovers in order to stop the judgement from coming? Phineas was seen as righteous in the Lord's eyes for killing two people while they were on the bed.

"That was then, this is now. Now we have Jesus."

Do you think that because God's mercy has triumphed over judgement, He doesn't care anymore? What if the judgement of God is all the more strict because of the grace of Jesus?

Are we willing to believe that God will hold us accountable for how we used His Son's blood?

The blood of Jesus takes away sins. It does not cover them like mortar in order to lay more of them upon it.

Is it okay to get angry at a fellow brother or sister in Christ for saying a cuss word in a sermon while we give our time unhindered to indulging our own pleasures with sin? It is too late to feel sorry for ourselves because we didn't get everything we wanted. People are dying for the Gospel, and many more are dying without it—I know, you've heard it before.

That doesn't make it less real.

My heart yearns for you to know the worthiness of Jesus. If we know that He is worthy of everything we have to offer, and more, could we possibly live a life sold-out like the apostles? Could we be men and women of renown, known in Heaven for our faithfulness, known in hell for our authority, and known on earth for our humility?

After reading this, I ask that you do not take it lightly. Whether you become enraged, or are broken, please do not be passive. 

Passivity is defeat.

We, as the church of God, have two options: Fight, or run.

I'm praying for you.


I wish you could hear my voice. Perhaps then you would be convinced to do whatever it takes to "cleanse the camp" of all sin.

A pure heart comes from a pure conscience. A pure conscience comes from obedience. Obedience comes through faith. Faith comes through hearing. Hearing comes from the Word of God.

Oh God have mercy on us.

Let us submit ourselves to each other, and fight for one another's destiny. I don't wanna be proud, sarcastic, or bitter in exhortation. Please understand, this is all about Jesus. The only reason I'm alive is because of Jesus, and the only reason I'm not a bitter, porn-addicted, God-hating man is because of Jesus.
His mercy is stronger.
His Love is stronger.
He's not angry at you. He's furious with the enemy.

Praise God that the enemy will be destroyed in the lake of fire!
All glory to the Lamb for His justice on the foe!
Bless the Lord for His great mercy in which He has given us VICTORY through His name!

Hallelujah!!!

The Grace of Jesus be upon you all.
