Where two or more are gathered together it is a "Church" It is not a "Building" It is His people! And "Holiness"is the way God has called us to walk.
Don"t be fooled thinking that being in "church"means you are saved. Or that others are. Many people who are in church are not saved. Saved meaning "they have asked Jesus into their heart" and are walking with Him according to the word of God. I know that hearts have to be cleansed and this takes time but this is not what I am talking about. I am talking about those who aren't even interested in any of the things Christ died for. They like the old saying like being " Fat dumb and happy" Fat meaning (full of the stuff!) that goes on in churches that isn't of God. Like the 50"s music that was playing on the loud speakers all over the church grounds in Phoenix Az. while we lived there. This music was blaring as we were leaving the building and when we inquired about it people said it was to make us feel more at home and comfortable with the "Happy Music"
Whats wrong with Godly music that "soothes the soul and mends the heart" but you ask? doesn't everybody love the 50s music? The point is people need the "Lord" Now more than ever! Sons are being killed in wars, Women have no husbands, Children are living in Fatherless homes, Drugs are rampant, Abortions the butchering of precious innocent babies is common place, Sex an Slave traffic is gaining popularity in "our country"!!! Six pastors in our community have fallen into adulterous affairs this past year. Shall I go on! Many are still going bankrupt by the minute! Loosing homes, I can go on and on so "Please Hear me!"We need the Lord Desperately" an less of the "World" Especially in our Church's.
To many do not know what "Holy" means because in is very seldom mentioned these days.
"Holiness" is how we live our lives when we have truly received Christ into our heart. To be more exact we have "Given up! our worldly ways" and have "chosen"to walk as Christ did. God is "Holy". "THE HOLY TRINITY IS HOLY" AND "WE NEED TO LEARN TO WALK IN "HOLINESS" When is the last time you have heard this?
"SANCTIFY"YOURSELVES THEREFORE AND BE YE HOLY FOR I AM "HOLY" Leviticus 20:7
It will be very hard to find a Real "Church" in the day we now live. Just since I have been saved which is now over (30 years) it has become harder and harder to find one. So for those of you who are truly walking with the Lord and have received "His Holy Spirit" in His fullness get ready for a hard ride. roaming from church to church.searching for a spiritual home with evidence of "His"power " and His "gifts"in operation Through His Holy Spirit". Thank God "He"has graced my meetings throughout the years with "His"Holy Presence"
I'm very disappointed for the sweet souls that are searching for God and are walking into these halls of the "Fame Of Men" and "Not God!" As I say this you are wondering what do I mean? What I mean is most are exalting "pastors"' "social clubs" "party's" "match making" You name it and it's happening. Appeasing the fleshly souls of mankind rather than the spiritual. Preoccupied with numbers rather than souls! Reality is that we are LOOSING OUR ROOTS in CHRIST JESUS! " and HE IS OUR KING OF KING AND LORD OF LORDS!!
"THE LORD SAYS MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER" Mathew 21:13
The "Holy Spirit" is Holy because "He"is the third part of the trinity "The father Son and Holy Ghost" are
|"Holy" So if you don't feel the presence of the Holy Spirit in the Church you are going to, back away and do it Quickly! because if Gods Spirit is not "Alive" and allowed to move among His people there is something wrong.
We have been visiting churches and last week the subject was healing and doing the works of God which was good. But and at the end there was no alter call. So why build up Faith for healing and doing the works of Jesus and not give opportunities to pray for it. Almost every one needs healing of some kind. Also need faith for more boldness in Christ! How "Horribly Sad!" It was like a marriage without the rings being exchanged! Every one left with a feeling of "Are we done?" As the pastor ran to the front door to shake hands. Because he is young I'm sure he is still learning and meant well but missed the reason why we go to a Church. To be touched by God and receive a needed prayer for healing if needed. Precious Lord and King of our Lives please "FORGIVE" AND "HELP US!"
More and more people are having Church in their homes, Parks, the beach, and coffee Houses Praise God! Even if just two are three gather it is "church" in Gods eyes. So if you are gathering on a regular basis with a small group to read the bible and encourage each other in the faith of Christ "Your having Church".
"Revival" is now in the air! . At this moment in S. Africa people are being healed of disease, sickness. Being delivered daily by the power of "Gods "Holy Spirit"! Jesus is being exalted in Love song and worship! Through men and women of God who are reaching multitudes. Benny Hinn, Reinhart Boenke, Todd Bently Heide Baker and more, who many of us have never heard of! The regular people of "God"are being awakened from their slumber and stepping into the "Holy Spirit"zone through their Love of Jesus Christ! All the "Phoneys"are being left behind! You will know them by their fruits"How do they leave You? Did they taste sour inside an a bit off color? "Holiness"is to be "Emanated"as a fragrance sweet and Loving.
God is moving through those who are willing to sacrifice all for "His"gospel of "Love"!!
Signs and Wonders are happening. The reality of the Bible is coming to pass in remote areas where people have "Faith"and "Hope"in the man called "Jesus"!! Dozens even being raised from the dead!! Jesus said if you Believe on me even more things shall you do! Get Exited!! If one can do it so can YOU!! that Love Him and walk in "His" ways.
Every "True Revival" came during the worlds darkest times of "Moral Corruption" If all these things must happen before we wake-up! and come back to God ...Then "Bring it on Lord"!... There are "Multitudes"of us that worship and love you and display the "Power of God" in our daily lives and "Realize" soon and very soon we are going to see our "King" We are living in what is called "The End Days" We can no longer ignore it! Too many signs are proving this all over the world! From tsunami's off the charts earth quakes,strange and weird manifestations causing people to commit haneous crimes. ect. ect. ect.
1 Thessalonians 5:5 But you are all "sons of light" ad sons of the day. We are not of the night or darkness.
2 Thessalonians 13: but we are bound to give thanks to God always for you brethren beloved by the lord ,because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification" by the Spirit tand sanctification
The definition of (Sanctification) means the act of making "Holy" also The act of Gods grace by which the affections of men are purified or alienated from sin and the world.
Another definition means exalted to a supreme love to God.
Noah Websters 1828 Dictionary
Also please read about the second "Coming of Christ"
Thessalonians 2;3 let no one deceive you by any means; " For that day will not come (Christs Return) unless the falling away first come" Please read all...This Great falling away is snow taking place!
1 Thessalonians 4: 7 For God did not call us to uncleanness, but to "Holiness"
8: Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man but "God'! who has given us His Precious "Holy Spirit"
GOD BLESS YOU AND DON'T STOP PRAYING!! THE BEST YET TO COME !! COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS!! WE AWAIT YOU SOON COMING!!
