This sad truth is apparent to any serious born again,
Spirit-filled believer in the Lord. But
it is still painful to read and contemplate.
How are they letting the people down?
· - Most teach nothing about the days we are living
in and the imminent return of the Lord.
It is a subject they stay away from.
And when the Lord soon comes, lots of people are going to be shocked –
by what happens, by where they stand.
· - Most teach virtually nothing about the Holy
Spirit – who is one of the members of the Trinity, along with God the Father
and God the Son, Jesus – and about all the wondrous gifts of the Spirit, such
as divine healing, prophecy, miraculous works, discernment, and more. Rather than guide their members to live lives
of power in Jesus, they keep them domesticated as ineffective sheep. The church members rarely if ever see the
Holy Spirit operating in their services and lives.
· - Many churches even believe that divine healings
and miracles ended centuries ago with the deaths of the original
disciples. They have no answer of course
if ever confronted with the wonderful divine healings that occur daily or the
miracles that happen.
· - Way back in ancient Rome, believers in the Lord
willingly went to their deaths rather than renounce Jesus. They would not declare the emperor as their
lord. Why? Because they knew Jesus, they knew God, they
knew the Holy Spirit. The Lord was real
to them. They lived in his guidance and
truths and actions. How many attendees
of today’s churches have that knowledge or would act similarly?
· - Numerous churches work tirelessly to increase
membership. They introduce all sorts of
things to draw in new attendees. They
are more concerned with their relationship with people than with God, even
though the Bible warns us all to let God be true and every man a liar.
· - Many newer churches and some older ones work
tirelessly to gather funds to build a new building. But it is not a new physical building they
need! America has an overwhelming number
of church buildings.
We’re living in the last of the
last days. The one-world government is
coming together right before our very eyes.
Really rough stuff is close at hand.
How many even notice?
Jesus said that the way is narrow
and few are they who find it. We hardly
knew the truth of that message when we first read it, did we?
Amazing times. Amazing truths. Amazing stuff.
Keep Your Eyes on Jesus!
