Ezekiel 3:17-21(KJV)
17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
This is something that the Lord has laid heavily upon my heart. We call ourselves believers yet we DO NOT believe!
I was at work yesterday and I was extremely frustrated because there was an expectation from me to perform and I didn't know what it was and know one would tell me so I kept operating in error. Then I mean to do so? Of course not! It just happen that no one told me what was required of me so I just did what I thought was right. You know how dangerous that is? To lean unto my on understanding about how something that I have never done before is suppose to be done?
Hmm...I know what some of you are thinking. Why didn't I just ask what was required of me? I did but know one was willing to time the time to inform me. That is exactly what is going on in the body of Christ. We have people who are newly converted getting preyed on instead of prayed for by men & women in the church because they hold a position of leadership! Common sense right? Wrong, if NO ONE corrects them then they will be leaning unto their own understanding as to what they believe is acceptable!
Newly converted women do not know what it means to dress modestly. That is why we are suppose to have older women, mature in God's word, teaching these women. Instead the example they get are older women who desires to be just as attractive as they are! It is almost as if it is acceptable to wear short tight clothing that allows your body parts to speak louder than the witness that God has placed on the inside of you!
And what about the altar calls! Instead of celebrating souls we have come to searching for soul mates. Looking at every man & women that comes down to the altar and thinking to ourselves, " I wonder if he could be", or "Man!!! She is thick, I am going to have to see if I can find her after service and manipulate her into my pants...I mean welcome her to the church!"
There is a spirit of Jezebel running wild in the the church and no body wants to call it out!
(Watch These Messages When You Get a Chance To)
Revelations 2:20-25(KJV)
19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
It doesn't matter if they are an usher, greeter, or even a pastor, if God laid it on your heart to speak to that individual then it is your responsibility to do so. Now the key phrase to that is, " If God laid it on your heart!" Because if God laid it on your heart I can almost guarantee that the correction will be received. It may not be freely received or come easy, but it will be received.
Another thing we have done is to cover up our sins by calling them issues. For instance, if a man has slept with half the congregation of women and all we do is say, just pray for him because he is just going through somethings trying to work out his is of lack of discipline. While I will agree that that man does lack discipline, I will also say that he doesn't have issues, He is a FORNICATOR that has yet to repent!
Well sir, uhm, we don't have sex we just masturbate!
You are a FORNICATOR!
Well sir, uhm I was never penetrated I just gave/received oral pleasures!
You're a SODOMITE! (definition:A person who engages in sodomy.) (definition of Sodomy: Sexual intercourse involving anal or oral copulation)
I remember a time when I was caught up in sexual sin,(Side note: Sin is sin! There is no such thing as a greater sin. I am just choosing to focus on a sexual sin that I committed) no one had to tell me to sit down, I was in tears that I had sinned against God and voluntarily stepped down. but even in that there was no real correction or restoration process put into place by my leaders that I can remember. Which could have proven to be damaging if I had not had the desire to get right before God and repent.
I is not to late for you you know! You can choose right now, today, to repent of your sins and completely walk away from them! That is just how powerful and loving a God you serve. You do not have to accept that lie that, "That's just how I am"! Because it's not! You are better than that!That is a lie the devil has gotten you to believe so that you will never have a desire to repent and receive correction. Sin is sin! Lust, fear, worry, doubt, gluttony, fornication, sodemy, breaking the law, lying, adultry, masturbation, gossip, etc. Sin is sin!
I beg up you, in the mighty name of JESUS CHRIST, to get right or die in your sins! Do not allow pride & ignorance keep you from living the free life that God has for you. Even the bible says in Hosea 4:6(KJV) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. I challenge you today to get to the root of your sin. Ask God to help you because you wont be able to do it alone but according to Philippians 4:13, I (you) can do all things through Christ that strengthens me! I Love you all and I have given you the warning I believe the Lord has instructed me to give! Maybe you know someone who needs this more than you do. I encourage you to please pass it on. It's time to get right & remove all spots and wrinkles! Repent, and allow God's correction & healing to take place in your lives so that you can be a blessing to others, including yourself!
