Isaiah 64:6-7 KJV
My heart is so heavy this morning for a people who are so deceived; who claim a righteousness and truly believe their sins are covered by the blood of Jesus, because of a lie planted in denominational churches; by the enemy years ago. They went to an altar, asked Jesus into their heart, but never made Him LORD!
The commandments of
obedience and repentance are ignored! They are told a half-truth; that there is nothing they can do to obtain righteousness; that Jesus did it all; and instead of finding out the Truth; instead of seeking Him with their whole heart, they go about their life, unchanged; indistinguishable from the condemned world!
"there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee"
We call on His name and pray scriptures; claiming blessings - all the while exhibiting the curse in our lives! We curse, "The Curse", in our prayers, and expect the god we have created in our own image to make the very suffering the One True God has sent to draw us back to Him, disappear!
“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.” Proverbs 13:13 KJV
You can read your Bible, you can memorize scripture all day long, you can pray until your last breath, but unless you humble yourself in obedience to The Word Of God, and confess and repent of your sin, your "righteousnesses are like filthy rags"!
“Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:” Isaiah 46:12 KJV
“If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.” Job 9:20 KJV
Our instant, "drive-thru", microwave society believes Jesus is coming back for a bride without spot or wrinkle and they need do nothing to be her!
They believe that being an "overcomer" means holding onto a lie, their father's denomination taught, without wavering when faced with Truth!
They will not examine their heart and see the pain that remains from unforgiveness, choosing instead to believe the voice that says "I'm okay!"
They choose to ignore the multitude of scriptures that encourage change, emptying of oneself, becoming humble, laying down pride, and the like!
Wake up church!
Repent!
Time is shorter than we think!
Pray that God would open your eyes and ears to The Truth, and change your heart!
Being a Follower of Jesus is not "easy peasy!"
Take up your cross!
Humble yourself.
Examine your heart!
It's all about the heart!
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8 KJV
Even so - MARANATHA!
