Spring Break Revival

Pastors Corner

1 Timothy|4:1  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the
latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to
seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
  1 Timothy|4:2  Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience
seared with a hot iron;
 

When you cauterize a wound you stop the bleeding, The Holy Ghost has dealt with my heart this week about false doctrine entering the church. People don't realize the dangers of false doctrines. There is a seducing spirit sweeping the church world today. Many resist the Holy Ghost and settle for the Jezebel spirit "the seductress". A child is naturally attracted to its mother proverbs 5 tells us. The seductress has been in place so long that people are one with her. They are satisfied with her. She is mother to the defiled. Jude said to the pure they are always pure, but unto the defiled they will always be defiled. Pastor has a stern warning stay away from cheap Grace. Jesus died for us, now lets live for him. 

God Knows!

Jeremiah 29:11  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

When a tragedy or situation hits us and we didn’t see it coming we tend to blame others and ourselves. We hardly ever see it as God putting it  in our path to make us strong. We don’t know what God has planned for us in the end. Even though it is expected, it is also unexpected. That’s why we should prepare ourselves today for what we may face tomorrow.  God knows what is going to be in our paths. We may feel like our situations are making us weak. That’s when we need to ask for strength. Believe me, it works! We are given the ability to call on God for strength and wisdom at the time of need. Think about it. Ever been prayed through and went to preach to someone about the glory, miracles, grace and love of God and didn’t know what to say? Didn’t think so! When situations hit we need to thank God for the end because He already knows. Even when we don’t see ourselves as ourselves, He sees us for who we are and knows exactly where we are at. He knows where we are going, and where we have been. He knows that our situations are going to make us strong. We’ve never faced one battle alone. He has always been there. God has a plan for everyone and everyone is important to God. He loves the unlovable people because He knows where they are going to be in the end.

Unheeded Mercy Brings Judgment

Nah 1:6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. This is a book of prophecy written by Nahum to the Ninevites. Does that name sound familiar? Yes, that’s right! Same people that repented approximately 100 years earlier. Ninevah is the capital city of Assyria, which is the enemy of God’s people. That is why it was so hard for Jonah to go to them! It would be about like a Jew going to Hitler in 1943 and trying to get him to repent, so he would be able to go to the same heaven you will. So don’t be so hard on Jonah. He had a very hard job! But this week, we are learning what happened 100 years later. After they repented. After the revival. After the popular preacher left town. What happened? Does this sound like anything you have experienced today? People come in and repent when a revival comes to town. A big name preacher comes in and everybody flocks to the church. But what happens when he leaves? Will you be able to stand for God after the revival is over? Nahum prophesied the judgment of Ninevah. And this time, there were no more chances. They had exhausted God’s mercy and grace. Judgment came. America is in danger of experiencing God’s judgment for the atrocities we have indulged in. But its not too late. Yet. There is still time. We have been told over and over by preachers for the past 30 years. Repent! Judgment is coming! Church, Pray! Repent for the sins of this nation. We can call on the God of mercy, and He is longsuffering.
