"I see The LORD and His train fills the temple . . . He is high and lifted up . . . "
"In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple." (Isaiah 6:1 NKJV)
It's one of my favorite songs, we do!
"Holy! Holy! Is The LORD!"
"And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!”" (Isaiah 6:3 NKJV)
We cheer and clap when we sing "and my sins have been forgiven!"
"Then whom shall I send?"
"I will go for You!"
"Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” (Isaiah 6:8 NKJV)
And that's it; the song is pretty much over.
Have you looked at the following verses?
Do you know what you are volunteering to do?
After singing and getting all goose bumpily; when you leave, do you believe you are doing what He wanted?
"And He said, “Go, and tell this people: ‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand; Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’ “Make the heart of this people dull, And their ears heavy, And shut their eyes; Lest they see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And return and be healed.”" (Isaiah 6:9-10 NKJV)
NOW, does it seem so weird that I keep telling you to pray, "LORD open my eyes, open my ears, change my heart"???
The church is asleep!
I was asleep!
As I've said many times recently (quoting Joyce Green) "I was lost, when I thought I was saved!"
He called me out of my slumber!
I felt the prompting of The Holy Spirit to read my Bible and His Word changed me!
If you believe yourself to be saved, but never read your Bible, you are deceived! And you will believe everything anyone says, because you have not seen The Truth for yourself. You have no knowledge!
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children." (Hosea 4:6 NKJV)
You can listen to sugarcoated sermons that motivate you, but if you not being told to repent from your sins in your daily walk, you are destined for hell! There is no "Once Saved Always Saved!"
I believe the greatest mission field is the church here in the US! We have been lied to, for 50 years! We have demanded entertainment on Sunday mornings and career pastors have given us what we wanted!
There is no compromise in The Word of God! It's only God's Way, which is through The Blood of Jesus Christ, which is applied only through repentance from the heart and total submission to His will! We must die daily taking up our cross to follow Him. There is no other way!
If it's not ALL, it's nothing!
No halfway measures with Jesus! You can't be a part time Christian!
It's time, people, to examine your heart! If you think you are "okay", then you are deceived!
You have to know (like Isaiah) that there is nothing good about you!
"So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts.”" (Isaiah 6:5 NKJV)
You may make a decision, but cleansing takes time; pain, and overcoming! You have to purpose to make Him your primary purpose and to keep your feet on the narrow path. Because everything and everybody will be trying to pull you onto the broad path that leads to destruction!
Time is short!
It's only too late to repent, after you die! Don't wait!!!!
Even so - MARANATHA!
