Almost nothing is granted overnight. One must continue to press forward in prayer, reading, and worship until spiritual breakthrough. We, the western church, are like the Romans of before. We are impatient and on the go. A fast moving paced culture and people. We perceive spiritual things like we do McDonald's. We go up the drive through and expect our answers overnight.
In fact, we do not even want to spend the time cooking anymore. We can't even wait 2 minutes in front of the microwave. We expect others to prepare our meals and if they are not up to par, we get restless and take it out on a minimum wage hard working noble worker.
Our spirituality has become such as our culture. We want God on demand and we want it now! Most of us have no idea why we are sick. Most of us have or are running from our trials and tests instead of overcoming them. Most of us have fallen away to religion and do not even realize it. Most are gorging over idols, profaning His Holy Day (Sundays) stealing His money and wondering why our lives are in such chaos with no peace?
If we had decided to stick it out and overcome, we would have peace even though our flesh would have been torn apart because our spirits would have been growing and living. But because many took the easy way out for the comfort of their flesh, their spirits are in torment and not whole.
What to do church? Many say they will die for Jesus but can't even fast to overcome hunger for three days. How will we stand when judgment comes? Do you not realize judgment is coming for a lukewarm church? At least if one was cold, one would know they still need to go back to Jesus. But when one is lukewarm, one does not even realize they are on the road to hell.
Jeremiah 16:10-12 (AMP) And when you tell these people all these words and they inquire of you, Why has the Lord decreed all this enormous evil against us? Or, What is our iniquity? Or, What is the sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?11Then you shall say to them, [It is] because your fathers have forsaken Me, says the Lord, and have walked after other gods and have served and worshiped them and have forsaken Me and have not kept My law,12And because you have done worse than your fathers. For behold, every one of you walks after the stubbornness of his own evil heart, so that you do not listen to and obey Me.
Prepare for dark and difficult days. Judgment is coming and it is coming hard!!
Joel 2:12 (AMP) Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning [until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored].
