What Will It Take For The Church to Wake Up?
What will it take for the church to be awakened out of her slumber and sleep? Oh Lord Psa.85:6 “Wilt thou not revive us again…” I find myself feeling the need to pray as Abraham in Gen.18:23 “Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?”
You might say, you’re losing your mind, a new day is before us, and it is, but it depends upon what new day you’re talking about. If you think a new golden age is before us before Jesus comes to set up his kingdom on earth, you are being influenced by another spirit, other than the Holy Spirit.
It is my prayer that according to Paul in Rom.9:28 that the Lord Jesus is about to do “a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.” In Jerm.5:24 this work is referred to “both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.”
I’m calling to all who according to Luke 21:36 obeying Jesus words to “Watch ((keeping the eye constantly alive to events) and have any understanding of the times, to pray with me, that the Lord Jesus will pour out James 5:7-9 “the early and latter rain.”
Oh, how I pray that the church, will be awakened to the necessity of being filled with the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Consider the urgency of just a few headlines. President Trump “under our potential agreement, we will not allow any enrichment of Uranium.” The Iranians “continuing enrichment on Iranian soil is our red line. This is a reality that all countries have accepted. Enrichment has now become a matter of National pride and honor for Iranians.”
The Ayatollah just delivered a defiant speech as well saying, “The U.S. cannot do a “D” thing to stop them from enriching Uranium.” On another front, the Ukrainians operation was “grounds for the Nuclear attack” declared Vladmir Solovyov a firebrand host on Russia state TV, calling for strikes on the Ukranian Presidential office in Kyiv, and beyond.”
Micheal Synder wrote “most people living in the Western World don’t realize this, but the Russian “Satan-2″ missiles are the most advanced nuclear missiles in the entire world. It is capable of carrying multiple Nuclear Warheads, up to 15-16, capable of wiping out entire Cities, roughly an area the size of the State of Texas. He says, we have no defense against such missiles. If the Russians or Chinese press the button, we will be toast. We don’t have anything that can shoot down the new missiles that the Russians or the Chinese have developed.” He also said if the Iranians don’t miraculously come to their senses and agree to the deal President Trump is offering, the world will soon be plunged into a nightmare that want be waking up from any time soon.”
Sadly, I know that most people could care less what these leaders say, or what happens to them because it is not affecting us, oh but it will. The rain of God’s wrath is nearer than the slumbering, sleeping church wants to see. Oh, but the Lord Jesus, is knocking and saying to all who have ears to hear, can you not see the clock that it’s seconds before midnight.
This last church dispensation the Laodiceans Rev.3:16 that 75% of he will soon “spue out of (his) mouth…V.18 is “counseling you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and the nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
Oh, the longsuffering of God, that he would still allow his Son, (who demonstrated his love when he paid for man’s sin debt on the cross) to continually knock in hopes that this lethargy, apathy, complacent, and for the most part uncommitted church would be awaken to its condition, and open the door for Jesus to come in.
Closing prayer: My Father, forgive us for having a form of worship, that has denied the power of the Holy Ghost that makes a new creation out of the saved. Oh Lord, have mercy upon us just one more time, and pour out your Spirit of conviction as you did at Pentecost that caused Acts 2:37 to cry out “what shall we do?” Repent, and be baptized every one of you…”
The Messager’s, Method, and Message is still the same, 1Cor.2:2 “Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” 1Cor.18 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”
Oh, that we had more deaths to self in the church, surely, we would see this Pentecostal outpouring just one more time. As we can see by the signs all around us, the door into the ark of safety the Lord Jesus Christ (Joh.10:9) will soon (Matt.25:10) shut and those who failed to maintain the oil will be left out into the dark night of the tribulation period.
This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday, it would be a good day, to be refilled. Oh, Lord here I am, fill my cup Lord, and blow the wind upon thy servant, until the flame of thy Holy Ghost fire is seen upon my head, that souls will cry out again as then “what shall we do.” Maranatha!!!!!
