Will your church be packed after the rapture? Have you been deceived? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3xbXvCnqCU 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: This is not talking about non-Christians brethren, this is talking about YOU and ME. If we are not repenting from our sins, following Jesus Christ and walking the narrow path, we will be left behind. We may SAY we are Christians, "oh yes, I love the word, I love Jesus Christ, He is my friend, He is making my life better, He loves me and cares about me, I am sharing the gospel with everyone I know, I have put 30 people who are sinners in my church pews, God is going to save me from Hell," or other such nonsense that feel good sermons teach nowadays, you are deceived. Jesus did NOT come to world to make your LIFE BETTER! He came to redeem us through HIS blood. Jesus is not the ultimate guru, social worker and best friend, HE is GOD, HE is SOVEREIGN, and you are a sinner who NEEDS to ACCEPT that without HIM, and that HE is who HE says HE IS, YOU will DIE IN YOUR SINS, and be condemned to HELL forever. We are filthy to God, we are sinners, liars, deceivers, adulterers, murders, haters, we cannot reconcile ourselves with GOD, no matter how many seats we fill in our church pews. No matter how many children we bring into our youth-groups to play pool, video games and tell a bible story too. NO! That will not get YOU, or THEM into heaven. They must REPENT. THEY must DIE to their old sinful life, and take up the cross. NOT the FUN cross, the REAL cross of JESUS CHRIST. A hard cross to bear, a cross that will make you different from many others in this world. PRAISE GOD for that, PRAISE GOD for those who ridicule you and spit on you for loving JESUS and HIS WAY, because HE will reward you. Not in this life, you will not necessarily be rewarded in this life, but God will give you HIS PEACE. SEEK HIM, and he will give you PEACE and fuel your heart and spirit to seek HIS WISDOM, and you will not get this wisdom from MEN, not from ME, not from books, but from JESUS, from the HOLY SPIRIT, and from the BIBLE. Do not worship the BIBLE, worship the SON, JESUS. Believe that HE is who HE says HE is, repent repent repent, and turn your life over to HIM. The social gospel is misguiding people into a feel-good, make believe trust in a Jesus that is not real, just because someone attaches the name JESUS to their church, to their gospel, does not mean they are preaching the TRUE CHRIST, JESUS the son of GOD. But how do I know? How do I know, oh woe is me, I have been mislead. You will know a wolf, you will see their fruits, you will see how they treat people, you will see that the truth has not set them free of sin, because they still are bound by it. You will see those trusting in the true Jesus, walk away from the wolves, because they know the true Christ, they have tested the spirits and they have patiently waited for God to lead them, and they have lead them away from the wolves. When you look at a wolf, you may see a sheep, but Jesus sees them, and eventually the vine will wither so far from Jesus, that the dead vine will drop off. Jesus will fight this fight, we are to put our faith in Him, trust in Him, and know that HE will defeat the wolves in our churches in the end. So do not be deceived, because you CAN BE, open your EYES, for the rapture may be near and you may be left behind because you have believed in the wrong gospel, the wrong Christ that is being taught across the world today, in our own communities. He was not warning the Muslim or the Buddhist of this, JESUS was warning the brethren, the church of this. You. Are you being taught Revelations in your church? Are you being taught all the books in the bible in your church? .....or just a few verses from a few books.... over and over and over, they tickle the ears of the many unbelievers and seekers who sit amongst you now? Are you being fed baby-food in your churches every Sunday? Are you STARVING for the meat of the Bible, so you can grow in the pure knowledge of Jesus Christ the OT and the NT, so YOU can carry the heavy sword, armor and shield of the TRUE gospel of Jesus Christ out into this wicked evil, dieing world? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuabITeO4l8 Do not send your baby Christians out to spread the gospel, for they will be EATEN by the wolves. Send out your warriors, your elders, your faithful from your churches, the ones that should be being taught MEAT. If your elders and faithful are leaving the church because they are starving, pushed out to fill the pews of the church with the unrepentant unbeliever, because NUMBERS are what matters, then you might be in one of those churches. Look around, do you see a cross in your church? (Do not worship 'things' of course), but is the cross covered up by a screen now, through the whole sermon? Is the bible slowly being REMOVED from the pews and the church, is it being replaced by the pastors lips? How long before it won't exist in that church at all. That reminds me of the 'dark ages' personally. Are the songs that truly convict the sinner (us) being replaced by chanting, new age music that makes you FEEL good? Don't get me wrong, I love modern Christian music, I listen to it all the time, (much of it is good, many of the songs are NOT good or holy), but should they be in our churches? Should they totally replace the more convicting songs from 50-100-500 years ago, because they are 'square'? Is the message being watered down by this repetitive new-age music sung in our churches? Can't the words that convict us of our sin and need of repentance, be put into more modern music to please both? Or is there an agenda in that also-with record companies-and in the end-with Satan who doesn't want us convicted of our sinful nature and the need for Jesus. Many of these things may be signs of what is washing over the church in (at first) a small way... Woe to the sinner sitting in a church pew, listening to a nice sermon, but leaving, never accepting the fact that HE needs Jesus or if he dies in the next moment, HE will be condemned forever, dieing in His sins. He never felt convicted enough to accept the alter call (is there even an alter call anymore?), he is never convinced that Jesus is the only way, or that there is even a Hell, because he has gone to that church for months now and never heard the pastor talk about Hell. He doesn't see an elder in the church, who has walked with Jesus for 50 years of his life, a man or woman who have faced the trials of the world, but kept his faith in Jesus, full of wisdom and love for Jesus, because that elder has moved on to another church, because he was starving on the baby food that the Pastor was feeding everyone in his sermon. Woe to the church that is doing this. It's not just coming brethren, its here, now. Hmmmmm? |
