The Church has failed in her
assignment from God, and we now live in a day of
danger! Christians and non-Christians are suffering the
consequences of that failure. Unless repentance,
leading to restoration, revival, and awakening, comes
quickly, things will only worsen. There will be a
combination of God’s judgment and devilish
storms.
Some Christians who know better
are falling for things that further distract them from
the core of what God wants. Some are being distracted
by the things of the world. Some are being distracted
by personal ego pursuits, even in spiritual things.
Still others are distracted by things that pose as
revival.
The devil keeps the world and many
Christians “busy-busy-busy” with various
and sundry pursuits. While people, including
Christians, are finding pseudo personal fulfillment,
the cause of God is wanting for lack of committed and
dedicated disciples.
There must be a spiritual
revolution within the Church! Dedicated and committed
disciples must develop a “revolution
mentality” and no longer settle for anything less
than a return to Jesus Christ and His truth—His
interpretation of truth. They must no longer accept
private interpretations or a mixture of the
Lord’s interpretation with their church’s
or their pastor’s interpretation, no matter how
popular that interpretation may be.
I just received a phone call from
someone who said they represented a particular phone
company and that they could give us a 50% savings on
our church phone bill. I told them if they would
guarantee, in writing, that our phone bill would become
half of what it was, including taxes, etc., then I
would take it. Of course, they did not mean that our
phone bill would be cut in half, but many unlearned
people fall for their way of saying things, their sales
pitch. Recently, someone asked a pastor if there were
still apostles in the present-day Church. Rather than
giving a direct and clear yes or no answer, the pastor
gave a pre-learned “canned” answer that his
particular denomination gives to such questions. I
understand that not all questions can be answered with
a yes or no, but I also know that some answers are
designed not to be clear and concise.
The point I am making is that
every disciple needs to know Jesus and His Word, and
every disciple needs to find out what their church
leaders know and believe about Jesus and His Word.
Disciples cannot grow to maturity, accomplish their
God-given purposes, and finish their God-designed
course if they continue learning from spiritual leaders
who feed them with private interpretations of
Scripture. Americans must demand that their leaders
(executive, judicial, and legislative) rightly divide
our Constitution. And disciples must demand that their
church leaders rightly divide the Word of truth. All
Americans must know the Constitution, and all disciples
must know the Word of truth to accomplish this.
Spiritual leaders in the home must
find true and mature spiritual church leaders who will
equip their family for the work of the ministry. If you
really understand what I am writing, then you will
understand why you need a “revolution
mentality.” We are in a Day of Danger that calls
for revolution within the Church. Will you heed the
call?
