But if you don’t want to serve the LORD, then choose today whom you will serve. Even if you choose the gods your ancestors served on the other side of the Euphrates or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live, my family and I will still serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:15)
Many will pass judgment on another individual or group today based on their looks, their dress and other situations they may be in. Yet Jesus said to show grace, mercy and love, judge not lest ye be judged. Wisdom would testify that in following the teaching of Jesus here can be a tough decision, one that will find you facing much opposition as it will cause one to walk down a narrow path that few choose to take.
 
Sadly the “many” are not even including those outside the Church but rather those who sit in the Church week after week. Religion has done it job, it has separated the believer from truth and interwoven the philosophies of this world and labeled them wisdom, yet true wisdom comes from the Father and it never contradicts the Son. You see, wisdom never says the message of Jesus has changed, it never says that what was once considered sin by the Father has now become acceptable. But it also has never said that we pass judgment first and then if needed show love, it clearly stands on the teachings of Christ not to judge and to show LOVE above all else.
 But you, beloved brothers and sisters, are not living in the dark, allowing that day to creep up on you like a thief coming to steal. For you are all children of the light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night nor to darkness. This is why we must not fall asleep, as the rest do, but keep wide awake and clearheaded.  For those who are asleep sleep the night away, and drunkards get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, we must stay alert and clearheaded by placing the breastplate of faith and love over our hearts, and a helmet of the hope of salvation over our thoughts (1 Thes 5:4-8).  
 
The ways of this world, the thinking, the philosophies and such have been bombarding the Church from the beginning and much has over taking the Church in that the Church has succumbed to its teachings over that of the Lords. After all these are different times, times have changed and situations people find themselves in have changed thus the Gospel must bend and adhere to these times that we find ourselves in, right?
 
Wrong, a thousand times wrong. You see in the first Church they held to the teachings of Christ even if it caused them their lives, and for many it did. Yet they turned the world upside down. Whereas today the world has turned the Church inside out so that it looks more like the world than the Body of Christ. It has morphed into an entertainment industry for big money.
 
Not the whole Church is this way, for indeed there is a Remnant in our day who still holds the torch of truth and refuses to bend knee to the modern teachings that have striped the power of truth in exchange for feel-good doctrines. That inspires the emotions but does not transform the individual, enlightens ones mind but does not produce Christ-like hearts. This present day message draws in the people and uses them to by the numbers to validate ones ego then spits them out just as fast when they begin to see the cracks in this false Lamb, leaving them often times in more of a state of lost ness than when they first entered, for they were drawn with a hope of a Messiah but were met with a man and his program.
Never restrain or put out the fire of the Holy Spirit.  And don’t be one who scorns prophecies, but be faithful to examine them by putting them to the test, and afterward hold tightly to what has proven to be right. Avoid every appearance of evil. (1 Thes 5:19-22)
 
Today, more than ever we must hold to the pure teachings of Christ and His Apostles and never trade them in for a lighter message. Paul said of such that ther would come a double curse upon their lives (Gal 3:10). Grace is powerful when taught in Truth and the Gospel Message found in the Word has not lost one once of its power and ability to impact cultures and peoples. It is time to bring the teaching of fasting & prayer back, the truth of the communion table back, the teachings of obedience and the reward of following Jesus. It is time to cut ties with those who seek to change the Gospel message, to seperate ourselves from those who wish to inject the ways of the world as means of reaching the people. It is time once again to turn and follow Jesus with surrendered hearts and lives. The narrow road is bordered by legalism on one side and compromise on the other.
 
The World is in desperate need of the true sons & daughters of the Lord Most High to manifest in this hour. We need men and women who will follow the teachings of Christ regardless of the cost and having counted it they dive into His ways with everything they have. Those that fully trust the Words of the Master, He said lay hands on the sick and they do it, He said to love the unlovable and they do it, He said to lay down our lives and they do it. For indeed He is a worthy King and just the reward of being called His friend, brother and sister is world far more than anything this world has to offer.

America needs a Revolutionary Spiritual Reformation – Not a political change!!!

Having spent some time studying the history of the Church and seeing where we are as a nation I truly believe that we are in desperate need of a Spiritual reformation. It is time that we return back to the Red Letters of the Bible, it is time to release a 3 reformation in this nation. We see a nation who has fallen morally both in the secular government as well as the Church. This is not a war of division and is not a solution that can be reached through political upheaval. I am shocked at the amount of so called teachers within the Church that so boldly speak out against the government of America and it’s politicians as they are in direct opposition to what the New Testament teaches. No my brothers and sisters what we need is for the Church to repent, turn from it’s wickedness, cry out to our God and then we shall see our God heal our land. (2 Chron 7:14)

I read post after post by pastors who bash the president and they are ultimately dishonoring the Lord when they do so for they reject the wisdom of His Word for their own wisdom. We could replace all of congress, the house even to the President with Christian men and women yet that is not the solution.

We have a organized religious structure in this nation which has shaken their fist in the face of God and have permitted abominations to take place in the house of God.

They have allowed the vow of marriage to be disregarded. They have removed reverence and holiness from the pulpit and replaced it with seeker friendly messages based upon the philosophies and wisdom of this world. They have allowed the morality of the Church to be hijacked by the unethical moral decay of this nation.

We have seen the Church sell out to the riches of this world, hijacking the store house of the Lord for His people and used it for personal gain and the building of man made enterprises. If the apostles were to return today and enter into the average Church they wouldn’t even know what it was and more than likely would see them as temples built for the honoring of pagan gods. If Jesus were to enter the average church in America today He would not even be recognized for they have sold out to the world and created a Jesus in the image that they are comfortable serving. I can hear the words of Ezekiel 34:1-25 thundering in the Spirit.

We have seen the Church remain silent in regard to moral issues because she is as dirty as the morally decayed society around her. She cannot speak against abomination of abortion for she has aborted several generations of God’s servants in the name of modern churchanity. She remains silent when prayer is mocked for she has lost the ability to pray with power and authority of Jesus Christ as she bows down to false gods of greed and pride. She cannot speak out against adultery for she herself has had an ongoing adulterous affair with the pleasures of this world. She cannot speak out against the abomination of sexual perversion in society as she herself has become but a harlot – lust and pride are the menu selection of the day. She has even allowed and condoned and in some cased applauded the abomination of the gay & lesbian agenda not only into the Church but has prostituted the pulpits out to them in the name of political correctness and social sensitivity.

We have allowed the cross to be removed from the Gospel message and replaced with a cross-less gospel. We have allowed the beauty of Gods message of grace be replaced with a graceless message that is nothing more than a license to sin. We have seen the gifts of the Church purposed for the Church marketed and sold to the highest payer. We have seen the generosity of faithful servant’s sapped as their gifts of faith are stolen by crooked and perverse shepherds.

We have seen the call of counting the cost removed and replaced with a message of prosperity that is slander the name of Jesus, causing many to stumble and seek the treasures and pleasures of this world over that of Heaven. We have seen the truth about Hell replaced with a false message of a god who will simply allow everyone into Heaven regardless their denying Him.

No, this nation does not need a political restructure nor a civil war, this nation needs a spiritual reformation that will cause the armies of a Heaven to join in as we wage spiritual warfare against the god of this age who has hijacked the faith of this nation. We need a generation of sold out faithful radical Christians who have counted the cost and pledged to Jesus: “ Whatever You desire Lord, for our lives are Yours purchased by Your blood for the glory of Your Name”. We need a reformation of His Church to return it back to His control & Headship. We need to remove the false shepherds and replace them with men of God who are willing to die for their faith and are more interested in building up a treasure chest in heaven, daring not dirty their hands with the treasures of this world.

America needs the rise of a generation marked by their servant hood and vow of holiness that will go to the gallows before ever renouncing their Christ or His Gospel message. We must stop attempting to restore America to what once was and start spending hours, days and weeks on our faces interceding for America that she will be transformed as a nation into the very image that the Father has purposed her to be, that His Holy Name may be glorified thru her to the world.

We must remember at all time that “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”.  (Eph 6:12)

Ultimately what America truthfully needs is a spiritual revolution that births a supernatural Reformation that will birth a new nation that is truly under Gods dominion.  So let us sound the alarm, calling for the Spiritual revolutionist to rise up in a Holy Ghost orchestrated Reformation that will shake the nations as the Name of Jesus is Praised, Glorified and Honored above all else.
