Starvation and hunger is never a word we expect to hear of in this wonderful land we call America.
However, with the recent all time highs, on Wall Street we sit in the walls of our beautiful churches in a “state of emergency” because it’s easier to find good food for our bodies and junk food for our souls.
No shortage of churches, you can find one on just about every street corner, shopping center and turn on a TV. Nevertheless, while many Sunday morning church goers are “sitting pretty” with in our church walls listening to Christian motivational speaking with wonderful selections coming from the choirs and getting their praise on, stroking our conscious.
All are merely external celebrations leaving out still empty, many if asked, will say we had a great time, but could not remember a word they heard they just know how it “felt” good. Emotions are touched but hearts, minds, and lives are still not changed.
Jesus said “My food is to do the will of the Father and to finish the work”. As darkness covers the earth and deep darkness the people which is a fulfilling of the scripture spoken by the Prophet Isaiah, the church that is supposed to arise and shine the light on a dark world seems to have turned that light on the “down low” and blended in with the world, focusing on $BLING instead of the King.
No discerning, blind to truth, no ears to hear. While men slept an enemy has come into the church and sown tare among the wheat, luring souls with the lust of the flesh, lust of the eye and the pride of life.
As the church continues to conform to this worlds system, getting tied up with temporary earthly things.
Nothing wrong with wealth for “it is the Lord your God who gives us the power to get wealth” however, here’s the question; is that wealth being used to establish God’s Kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven or men’s kingdoms on earth as it is in heaven?
Too many times it has been taught that the salvation of your soul is the finish, when in reality it’s just the beginning. We have work to finish here on earth before we leave and we all are leaving one day.
If we’re in denial we can not be delivered. Jesus said “in the end many will say didn’t I prophesy in your name, cast out devils in your name and do many wonders in your name” and He will say I never knew you, depart from Me.
The word of God lets us know that judgment begins in the house of the Lord and if we judge our self rightly we will not be judged with the world. With all the activity going on in the church...the question still remains, “is God pleased”?
Jesus, spoke to the multitudes some just came to be in the crowd and listen while others truly heard what He was saying and did the work. So I say like Jesus said ‘those with ears to hear let them hear what the Spirit is saying’.
