Leadership
What God Says He Means
Philippians 3:15-21 let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an example. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, which’s God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, which mind earthly things). For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
II Peter 2:1
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that brought them, and bring upon them selves swift destruction.
Jeremiah 4:6, 18-22
Set up the standard toward Zion; retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction. Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reaches unto thine heart. My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart makes a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment
How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? For my people are foolish, they have not known me; they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
When Man, the church, or Zion is at peace; then suddenly destruction; I Thessalonians 5:3. Zion is at ease and they are doing things that's ungodly, II Thessalonians 1:9. Zion is under attack because they don't realize the enemy watches slackness, II Peter 3:9 & Matthew 25:26. Zion's business is undone because they are being slothful in God's business, Romans 12:11 & Revelation 16:1, 6:17. God is speaking, are we listening? No! So now He will make us hear. God is sick of lying, stealing, and deceitfulness!
The Church of The World now as it was in 2005 has made to many concessions for the flesh. Flesh says church is right on Sunday Morning, rest on Sunday night, Bible Study on Wednesday night maybe and prayer is a no-no period. Intercessory prayer has become a gathering of the want to be saints, the busy bee if I can fit it in my schedule. There is usually so much mess in the prayer meeting and no prayer is being heard, less alone answered. If someone comes with a problem, they pray about it but talk about it afterwards and if God would answer the prayer, they will take the glory for it happening.
Our lives are or should be all about God and not ourselves. Our relationship is with the father: it's all about him getting the glory out of all we do. God wants us to understand people but not give into the flesh, but to enhance him in their spirit where they can be transformed here on earth. Our lives is so full of peace after God has blessed us, until we don't pray like we use to, we don't believe God for anything, we take for granted that we suppose to have this or that. This is the attitude the Devil wants us to take, a spirit of ease. But God says, when there is peace, suddenly destruction. We can't allow ourselves to get at ease in our spirit. It makes us lazy, slothful in business; have slackness concerning the things of God. Be mindful not to get caught in the web of complacency; smugly well satisfied, content, holier than thou, self important, conceited. Remember when there is peace; (quiet, tranquility, mental calm, serenity, freedom from or the cessation of war going on in your life, and freedom from disorder), suddenly (occurring unexpectedly, without warning, abruptly, hurriedly, or hastily, in a flash, in a moment, a split second, all at once, instantly, quickly, before you know it or can conceive what is going on), destruction has come.
As good as God has been to us, we should be running for our life saying, Lord what more can I do.
Get rid of the wishy washy minds, which this kind of mind gives God a pain in the neck and nearly cause him to have a heart attack if he was a natural man. He would rather you be hot or cold, lukewarm he will spit you out of his mouth. Hot you are on the inside of his will with a high temperature for him, producing heat that is contagious, spreading the seasoning of his word, a pungent piquant odor being inhaled by others near and around you. People should not only see Christ in you, but also smell him all around you. His odor should be emitting out of you. They should feel the heat of Christ when you show up. You are put in a difficult position with a great responsibility to be hot for Christ. If you are cold, you are of a low temperature and you lack friendliness or affection, so who will follow you. But at least God would rather you be depressing, uninteresting, dead, frigid, unconscious of him and uncommitted, rather than be lukewarm, playing with his emotions, killing yourself, being moderately warm, sometime I am with Christ and sometime I am not in his will, tepid (cool, indifferent, uninterested, nonchalant, blank), half hearted. How could you be halfhearted with God? You don't want to find out that your girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, or wife's relationship with you is halfhearted. How would you feel if you found out your friendships were half hearted, you would rather not have a friend like that didn't feel toward you like you feel toward them. You want your friendships to be hot and on the real. Well, what about God, he made man no different than himself, in his own image.
Zion is too at ease, to slothful in God's business, care more about their own than his or about somebody else's business and you feel at peace about it, but watch out, God will give you some of your own. Keep getting to church when and if you want too, if you need God to do something for you or not. God forbid you being lukewarm, but this is what you are. It's better not to have known the truth, than know it or don't do it; to him that knows to do good and do it not it is sin.
On one hand people are worrying about who will be President and the country is dying at the hands of lies, so they are at ease because rather than work out their soul salvation, they are just waiting to die, content that they think they have arrived. They say to themselves, I shall not die; I am already dead. Yes, dead to sin that brings forth death and they still have not arrived, but there is more. They say, In Christ I dwell, and because I dwell in him, he has already died for me, so I don't have to die no more, sin is dead in me and I can just go home.
Does God have to start causing the elect to drop dead in front of people? Have Mercy. Respect the Office and stop lying. Disasters will continue to come at the hand of a lying leader. America wake up!
