Greetings,
"Now will I shortly pour out My fury upon thee, and accomplish Mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee accord to thy ways and will recompence thee for all thine abominations." Ezekiel 7:8
Through the month of December, God was speaking, 'do you know what is at stake?'
Through bible readings between Christmas and new years, Isaiah, Jereemiah and now Ezekiel, God revealed this combination phrase, 'God's anger and God's fury'. I though it was simply another word/phrase study to study, pray and share. It was not.
Lastly, God revealed, mainly in Ezekiel, yet I know it is another combination throughout Scripture, God sees and knows and is watching our "ways and doings" as a nation, church, families and our own personal walk.
Last night in readings of Gurnall, 'make sure your armour of God is Divine. too much of the church today is trying to defeat Satan and evil with armour that is not Divine but carnal. Our weapons are not Divine, but carnal; thus we are not able to pull down the strongholds and defeat our Lord's enemy.
1. What's At Stake?
Eternity is at stake. This is the supreme issue of our day. So many souls, over 80% of our population are hell bound right now. The sorrow of this does not break me near enough. Tearless, not broken nor contrite for the revealing of this eternal plight. this is the reason, that I believe the Spirit impressed me to pray for these 3 things in my life for the new year:
1. Holy in all my ways, in all my times;
2. Broken and contrite on these revealed things that break God's heart;
3. Not to have a prayer meeting without tears. Not phony, self-taught tear, but geniune tears of joy and sorrow; of love and horror for what shall be and what is;
Our future is at stake. As I have shared with those that have asked. Within the next decade, we are on the crisp of the Gentile age, the age of the church, coming to and end. According to Matthew 24, 'and when the Gospel shall be presented to the nations, then the end shall be.' End of time? No End of what then? End of the age. Gearing up for the last days of prophecy - tribulation and great tribulation.
And many have tried ot answer and discuss on why the US is not clearly spoken of in prophecy. Well, the possibility of these things that I am sharing, is that we will not be around. The plight of the US is so dire, and the phrase in Scripture where God says, 'I will remove you and all yours from the earth.' may be our epitaph. All our abominations continue to fill the cup of wrath which I believe is getting ready to be poured out on us.
so what's at stake? Everything. How desperate should we be!. How much more emphatic of these things!! Ah, brethren. Consider these things.
2. What's God going to do?
Well, God has been doing it. God has been judging us. We called them judgements, warning shots over the bow. Our sin and evil increased, our service to the Lord lessened, holiness is hard to find and God's anger and fury swells up as a dam getting ready to break upon the cities, homes, souls and land. If anything, the California fires and the floods of the east this past year should give us the perfect illustration of our plight when God's wrath goes forth consuming everything in its wake.
3. Why is God going to do this?
God Almighty is provoked by our nations ways and doings; and God Almighty is provoked by His churches lack of ways and doings in light of these things.
Here is the list of these things that provoke Him through our 'ways and doings":
--homicides put blood on the streets, in the homes each day; 'blood cries out to God for vengeance';
--abortion continues to murder 1 million a year in our nation; God will judge us for this evil of almost 50 years;
--1st Senator ever to enter the halls of the Senate as an openly bi-sexual; refused to place hand on Bible;
--cities here in WV cotninue to go city to city in their councils to pass laws fining Christians and allow any bathroom use by any one; void the gender and descency; Perversion and pure evil;
--laws deepening the hold of addiction; alcohol is more deadly than drugs, yet drugs and alcohols damage is beyond comprehension, both now and long term; He is self destructing us; allowance of it for our evil.
--marriages and home is all but extinct;
--church continues to flop on the shore, like a fish pulled from the water; 'Our weapons are not Divine, but carnal" Ichabod, absence of God; Samson - 'and he wist not that the Lord had departed from him'; The realization of this is missing; mainly because humanism contnues to justify our works and programs and means. Faith and sole dependence on God is a rare thing.
Ways and doing of nation, church, families and our own personal hearts must be examined. 'Please God'? or 'please self'? Death to self; or dead in sin? We can't have it both ways, one way or the other. Our ways and doings, He sees and knows and holds us to answer. Our response should meet this great need.
