Back in the year 2011, there were many prophecy about judgment in general and about an earthquake and tsunami coming to California. There was a lot of talk about a particular comet, Elenine, that was to hit the earth. There was a lot of talk about judgment coming to the USA. Even today, many Christians continue to stock up physical food, emergency necessities, and hard money preparing for difficult days. Such talk can rally up many Christians and a large following. I have to admit, back in the year 2011, we had taken some small precautionary measures just in case. But we had come to realize, most of it all is bogus and nonsense. Most of it is but false prophecy and false prophets. However, sadly, many Christians continue to seek other prophecy extending their dates of judgment or rapture. They are being misled. They are misled as their focus is on judgment and rapture rather than on Jesus. Even the rapture event can become an idol to many Christians. We must come to know the Heart of God. What are His Ways? What are His Thoughts?
The human nature is not of God's way nor God's thoughts. We can look at the judgment of the Philippines and other nations and many Christians in their hearts may actually gloat over the situation. They may gloat with their words or in their hearts thinking they deserve it. However, judgment is God's last option. HE only judges because HE has too and because HE is a righteous God. But God's nature is that no one perishes. Therefore, should our hearts not be like God's and desire that no one perishes?
Even when it comes to our secular leaders, many Christians slander and within their hearts they have evil thoughts and intention for their leaders. Many slander and have evil thoughts because in their minds, such leaders or politicians are taking away their security and comfort. All thoughts are selfish. As Christians, our solutions are through prayer. Many western Christians do not pray. They just complain. They have complained to God in the wilderness and they continue to complain today. When we complain in any given situation, we are really complaining to God. Perhaps, God is allowing those politicians to make mistakes to show what is in our hearts.
Proverbs 24:17-18 (AMP) Rejoice not when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles or is overthrown,18 Lest the Lord see it and it be evil in His eyes and displease Him, and He turn away His wrath from him [to expend it upon you, the worse offender].
God set up our church in Fremont, California USA on October 17, 2012. Even this was a surprise to me. Fremont is forty minutes to San Francisco. Fire of God Church is located right in the middle of California. Many think San Francisco is about to receive judgment. Many think California is about to have an earthquake and tsunami. Some people are actually afraid to come visit or move here because they believe in such false prophecy. But actually, it is the bible belt of the USA that experience more natural calamities than California. Judgment starts in the household of God first. It is still nice and sunny as far as I can tell. But God had opened an Issac church right in enemy territory. Why? What is an Issac Church? It is a church birthed by the Spirit of God. We must know HIS Ways if we are to know HIS Voice.
San Francisco is known for the homosexual community throughout the world. Many Christians think of San Francisco as Sodom or Gomorrah. While many Christians are thinking of moving out of California and even the USA, God is setting up HIS church where most Christians would not expect it. God's ways are higher than ours. God's way is not to run but to take the land for HIS glory. God is not looking to bring judgment. Judgment is HIS last option. HE had come to bring life. And if HE can raise up a people/generation and a church within enemy Territory, it will bring HIM the more glory.
HE is not looking to judge HIS creation but to raise up a people of HIS own to shine His light and bring life. His ways is not to kill and destroy but HE looks for a reason to spare and give mercy. HE looks for a righteous son or daughter of HIS own that would intercede for their families, cities, and nation. His Way is to bring life. God is looking for a reason to save a family, a city, and a nation. God is looking for a reason to show Mercy.
While evil hearts look for reasons for God to judge a family, a city, or a nation, God looks for a righteous person to stand in the gap to spare a family, a city, or a nation. WE must know HIS ways so that we please HIM.
Jeremiah 5:1 AMP Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now and take notice! Seek in her broad squares to see if you can find a man [as Abraham sought in Sodom], one who does justice, who seeks truth, sincerity, and faithfulness; and I will pardon [Jerusalem—for one uncompromisingly righteous person].
Jeremiah 5:1 NLT “Run up and down every street in Jerusalem,” says the Lord. “Look high and low; search throughout the city! If you can find even one just and honest person, I will not destroy the city.
If Abraham had asked God if HE would spare Sodom and Gomorrah if HE had found one righteous person, I believe God would have spared the cities. But Abraham had asked and stopped at 10 people. He did not go to one person. Yes, God may have spared if there was just one. Jesus would have still come to the earth and died for one person if HE had too. This is amazing Love and Grace.
It is God's Will that no one perishes. Is this within our hearts? If we say so that why are our actions not correlating with our words? Are we just giving lip service? Should we not be praying and interceding fervently and diligently for hours until God's Will is done within our lives, families, cities, and nation? Praying over a meal is not going to get HIS attention for HE is a Great King. A two minute prayer is not going to break into the spiritual realm and to HIS Throne. The bible says we are to pray always in the Spirit.
Yes, judgment may come on the earth one day but may you all become HIS prayer warriors so that your families, cities, and nation will be saved.
We must repent and we must read HIS Word searching scripture daily to know HIS Ways and Thoughts and then we will know HIS Voice.
