As
recorded by the Word of God and by the history of the last 2,000
years
Those
who claim the name of God and Christ always go into unbelief.
Nevertheless,
there is always a Remnant that remains true.
The
nation Israel, the first church, always went into unbelief
In
repeated cycles,
Up
to and including it's disastrous failure to receive Jesus as their
Messiah.
The
Church that was given birth at Pentecost was in trouble
Before
the last of the original apostles died,
As
can be seen in the seven letters to the Seven Churches
Given
by Christ Jesus to the apostle John.
Of
Seven, only two were commended.
This
failing of those who claim the Name of Christ continues to this
day.
Why
is this the case?
Because
the people of God become lukewarm; they loose their First Love;
And
only want to hear what their itching ears want to hear,
And
there are always those who will accommodate them for financial gain;
Always
great charismatic fakers with a little TRUTH
But
never the Whole TRUTH!
They
accommodate themselves to the lost culture that surrounds them
And
they and their listeners become worthless.
Christ
Jesus spoke to this issue:
Woe
to you when all men speak well of you,
For
that is how their fathers treated the false prophets. (Luke 6:36)
The
false prophets in every generation are spoken well of.
Those
who the culture speaks well of are worthless before the Living God,
Because
every culture is of the world and therefore the enemy of God.
Who
are those who speak for God? Listen to Jesus:
Blessed
are your when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you
And
reject your name as evil , because of the Son of Man.
Rejoice
in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in Heaven.
For
that is how their fathers treated the prophets. (Luke 6:22-23)
If
you speak for God and His Word you will be hated by the
culture/world,
Because
you will be telling the culture/world that what it does is evil,
Just
as did Christ Jesus and was hated for it.
The
apostle Paul says of this situation:
For
the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine.
Instead,
to suit their own desires, they will gather around them
A
great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
They
will turn away from the TRUTH and turn aside to myths.
(2
Timothy 4:3-4)
Christ
Jesus warned:
'Watch
out for false prophets.
They
come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious
wolves.
By
their fruit you will recognize them.
Do
people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
Likewise
every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
A
good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good
fruit.
Every
tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the
fire.
Thus,
by their fruit you will recognize them.
Not
everyone who says to Me 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the Kingdom of
Heaven,
But
only he who does the will of My Father Who is in Heaven.
Many
will say to Me on That Day, 'Lord, Lord,
Did
we not prophesy in Your Name, and in Your Name drive out demons
And
perform many miracles?'
Then
I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you.
Away
from Me you evildoers!' (Matthew 7:15-23)
The
apostle Paul gave a similar warning:
'Now
I know that none of you among
Whom
I have gone about preaching the Kingdom will ever see me again.
Therefore,
I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
For
I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the Whole Will of God.
Keep
watch over yourselves and all the flock
Of
which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers.
Be
shepherds of the Church of God, which He bought with His Own blood.
I
know that after I leave savage wolves will come in among you
And
will not spare the flock.
Even
from your own number men will arise and DISTORT the TRUTH
In
order to draw away disciples after them.
So
be on your guard!
Remember
that for three years I never stopped warning each of you
Night
and day with tears. (Acts 20:25-30)
In
America there is the false notion that it's culture is somehow
benign,
Because
it was founded on principals from the Word of God.
Nothing
could be further from the TRUTH;
Most
of America has rejected this foundation.
At
least one-half of America hates God, His Christ Jesus and His Word.
This
is “Blue America” dominated by the spirit of Babylon;
By
major urban areas; By the Democrat Party; By Secular Progressives;
By
Secular Humanists; By Socialists.
Those
who claim the Name of Christ
Who
accommodate themselves to this evil culture,
Who
do not speak out against this evil culture, do not belong to Christ.
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father, Your Kingdom
come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
