There is something powerful about preaching the Word being empowered by Holy Ghost – That power which moves past the hardness of hearts, cuts thru the armor of self and delivered a fatal blow to the steel encasement of pride!
Oh how that God ordained, heaven fire fueled preaching is needed to once again paint the landscape of the Church and our society at large- That the true fire of revival may once again sweep across this land bringing forth true reformation of the Bride of Christ in America – returning the Bride back to Her roots as a people living Holy lives before God and the world according to the Kingdom principals as taught by Christ Jesus our Lord.
I am not talking about preaching that is empowered with theology, nor of being empowered by the doctrines of men or even our own personal opinions. I am talking men and women who are compelled to open their mouths by the rising up of living waters from their bellies, with such God ordained Words that slice through the atmosphere and dive right into a persons being, like we read about Peters message in Acts 2. A message delivered by via human temples of the most High God, those who have been baptized in the fires of His Holiness, where their own wisdom has been vacated by the presence of Holy Ghost
For we see the eternal destines in the balance with such preaching with the response of the people: “When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” (Acts 2:37)
And then in the wisdom of the Father, Peter responded with Truth:
“Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call”. ` (Acts 2:38-39)
Today in most westernized churches. we have business manager in the pulpit, sales men seeking to fill the seats for a grand performance where the listeners are inundated with messages of false grace and individualism that sends them forth not as having been in the presence of the burning bush, or even have seen the temple filled with His Glory, rather a heart filled with blessings of me, me, me.
Let us throw away the seeker friendly messages!
They are taught to run after signs and wonders rather than becoming the sign of God’s wonder, having been reborn and now going forth as New Creations.
Most of today’s most popular church build elitist groups of people going around saying how free they are – they release things that contain a flare of Godliness, yet their messages have dark clouds of mysticism about them – they trap the people rather than bring true spiritual freedom – They train up young people to run after miracles – yet the very people being healed are never giving the gospel message, and though they are healed, they are destined to end up in hell if they do not repent and turn to Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
Not only that they are releasing immature men and women and placing them in the positions of leaders and teachers who themselves are still feeding on milk and have not even learned how to cut the meat of God’s Word leave alone eat it and digest it. Paul stated clearly that we should not put some one quickly into such a position “Not novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil”.
We read in the Bible how that Peter and the other disciples had become such a wonder to the people around them – they where known as fisherman, tax collectors and insurrectionist, yet now they were walking around releasing words that only those who had studied for years could speak with such learned wisdom. They walked even as Jesus did, with signs and wonders following the release of Heavens voice here on earth.
We need to get story telling and cultural chatter out of the pulpit and see a return the Holy Word of God
Let us put away the fancy talk, the stimulating talk and the motivational speaking and return to the Word of God, preaching it under the empowerment of Holy Ghost, the One sent by the Father to lead us into all spiritual truth – that we may see the Ripened Harvest before us being harvested to the Glory of the Father, Son & Holy Ghost.
For indeed we do serve an awesome God
