Greetings,
"Even from the days of your fathers, ye are gone away from Mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto Me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?" Malachi 3:7
RECIPROCAL RESPONSE - God responds to man's response. Dozens of these are found in the Bible. They are so revealing to our state and hold the key to our future for revival and God's Divine help. Most of these are warning of God's judgment; but there are some with positive blessings behind them of hope. Here is one of these - "Return to Me, and I will return to you".
What we are facing at the close of this year, and will face in 2020 is alarming to whether we will see 2021. The church is not ready for such things. And it is needful that we implement this truth to our daily lives and seek Him, while there is still time and opportunity to do that. Always with failure, hindsight is wonderful, but we cannot afford that now. We are at a tipping point for our nation and future. The response of the church will determine the response of God. God has declared waht His response will be. If we forsake Him, He will forsake us; but if we return to Him, He will return to us.
This is the kind of choice we are facing. And it as needful as ever for the church to return to their first love; to return to holiness; to return to intimacy with Him; to return to the Bible study, memorizing, and meditating; and to return to the prayer closets. And it is not return haphazardly, but whole heartedly. It is not to return sporadically, but daily, continually before Him and with Him. Much time has been lost, and it is needed to restore our lost place before Him and with Him.
The hour of crisis is upon us, and it is imperative for the church to respond to His invitation, "Return to Me, and I will return to you." Why so few baptisms? Why so many leaving the church? Why so much evil? Why so much sin? Why no conviction, or real conversions? Is it not, 'because the Lord is not among us?" For if the Lord was among us, these things would not be. We have forsaken His ways and abandoned His ordinances. It is not just this generation, but the compromising, 'backsliding', lessening of His ways has been generational for some time. But now we are reaping the increase of these things, and it is now at danger level.
The urgency of the response to return should be upon every church leader, every pastor, every prayer warrior. To not have this urgency reveals that they are like the king of Babylon, when the hand wrote on the wall, declaring the kings demise and death. But he knew not what it said; but when he heard what it said, he changed not. The hardness of the heart causes men to hear the warning from God, the inviation from God and still refuse to return and repent. this response is a certain damnation to existence for a nation, for a church, for a family, for a soul. Let this not be named among us.
Therefore, seek Him and find Him and return to Him in all your ways. Pray for the church to do so as well. The nation will follow, once the church returns. But there is no need to expect the nation to return to God, without the church setting the standard.
Brethren, "the hour is late, the need is great, pray so as to prevail'.
