I WANT TO KNOW WHEN HUMANITY BECAME SO COMFORTABLE WITH DARKNESS THAT THE MERE MENTION OF JESUS CHRIST SENDS PEOPLE INTO A DEMONSTRATION OF OUTRAGE!<\/p>\n
Last night, a brother in Christ sent me a social media post that absolutely grieved my spirit. Apparently, some believers had the audacity, THE HOLY GHOST AUDACITY, to put little Jesus toys and gospel pamphlets into children\u2019s Halloween candy bags! AND I SAY GLORY BE TO GOD! THANK YOU, YESHUA, FOR THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO STILL HAVE ENOUGH SPIRITUAL BACKBONE TO CARRY YOUR LIGHT INTO PLACES WHERE OTHERS WOULD RATHER IT NEVER SHINE!<\/p>\n
But when I opened those comments, MY GOD! What I witnessed was a heartbreaking reflection of the spiritual condition of this generation! Hundreds upon hundreds of people mocking the name of Jesus Christ, ridiculing salvation, and pouring out contempt for the very gospel that offers them eternal life!<\/p>\n
AND SOMEBODY NEEDS TO SOUND THE ALARM!<\/p>\n
YOU CAN DRESS YOUR CHILDREN LIKE DEMONS, DEVILS, WITCHES, AND THE WALKING DEAD, AND THE WORLD CALLS IT ENTERTAINMENT! YOU CAN DECORATE YOUR HOMES WITH IMAGES OF DEATH, BLOOD, AND HORROR, AND SOCIETY CALLS IT CELEBRATION! BUT LET SOMEBODY DROP ONE LITTLE JESUS INTO A CANDY BAG, AND SUDDENLY YOU\u2019VE GOT A NATIONAL EMOTIONAL EMERGENCY!<\/p>\n
GOOD GRIEF! THE DEVIL GETS A PARADE, BUT JESUS CAN\u2019T GET A PAMPHLET?<\/p>\n
AND YOU WANT TO TELL ME THERE ISN\u2019T SOMETHING SPIRITUALLY WRONG WITH THIS GENERATION?<\/p>\n
Isaiah 5:20 declares, \u201cWOE UNTO THEM THAT CALL EVIL GOOD, AND GOOD EVIL; THAT PUT DARKNESS FOR LIGHT, AND LIGHT FOR DARKNESS!\u201d<\/p>\n
THAT WORD WASN\u2019T WRITTEN FOR DECORATION! IT WAS WRITTEN AS A WARNING!<\/p>\n
We are living in a generation where people demand tolerance for everything EXCEPT THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST! They preach acceptance until somebody mentions repentance! They scream about freedom of expression until somebody expresses their faith in YESHUA HAMASHIACH! They want every voice represented, every lifestyle celebrated, every belief accommodated, BUT THE MOMENT THE NAME OF JESUS ENTERS THE CONVERSATION, THE TOLERANCE THEY PREACHED GOES STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW!<\/p>\n
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY SPIRIT!<\/p>\n
GOD IS NOT RUNNING FOR OFFICE! HE DOES NOT NEED YOUR VOTE! HE DOES NOT REQUIRE YOUR APPROVAL! AND HIS WORD DOES NOT CHANGE BECAUSE THE CULTURE HAS DECIDED THAT HOLINESS IS OFFENSIVE!<\/p>\n
HE IS THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA! THE FIRST AND THE LAST! THE BEGINNING AND THE END! THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS!<\/p>\n
AND HIS THRONE HAS NEVER BEEN SUBJECT TO THE OPINIONS OF HUMANITY!<\/p>\n
Romans 1:21 tells us that although people knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish hearts were darkened.<\/p>\n
AND CHURCH, WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING! A SOCIETY DOES NOT HAVE TO FALL INTO COMPLETE RUIN OVERNIGHT! IT BEGINS WHEN HUMANITY STOPS TREMBLING AT THE WORD OF GOD! WHEN REPENTANCE BECOMES A JOKE! WHEN RIGHTEOUSNESS BECOMES SOMETHING TO MOCK! WHEN PEOPLE BECOME MORE OFFENDED BY THE PREACHING OF SALVATION THAN BY THE DESTRUCTION OF THEIR OWN SOULS!<\/p>\n
AND THEN WE HAVE THE AUDACITY TO LOOK AROUND AT THIS BROKEN WORLD AND ASK, \u201cWHERE IS GOD?\u201d<\/p>\n
LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING!<\/p>\n
HOW MANY TIMES HAS GOD BEEN INVITED OUT OF THE CONVERSATION? HOW MANY TIMES HAS HIS WORD BEEN RIDICULED? HOW MANY TIMES HAVE PEOPLE BEEN TOLD TO KEEP THEIR FAITH PRIVATE, KEEP THEIR CONVICTIONS QUIET, AND KEEP THE NAME OF JESUS OUT OF PUBLIC LIFE?<\/p>\n
AND NOW YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY THE WORLD IS SPIRITUALLY STARVING?<\/p>\n
YOU CANNOT CONTINUALLY REJECT THE BREAD OF LIFE AND THEN WONDER WHY YOUR SOUL IS HUNGRY!<\/p>\n
YOU CANNOT DESPISE THE LIGHT AND THEN COMPLAIN THAT YOU CANNOT SEE!<\/p>\n
YOU CANNOT MOCK THE PHYSICIAN AND THEN WONDER WHY YOUR SPIRITUAL WOUNDS REMAIN OPEN!<\/p>\n
AND HEAR ME VERY CAREFULLY!<\/p>\n
I AM NOT SAYING THAT EVERY PERSON WHO DISAGREES WITH RECEIVING A RELIGIOUS PAMPHLET IS AN ENEMY OF GOD. I AM TALKING ABOUT THE OPEN, DELIBERATE MOCKERY OF THE SAVIOR! THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EXERCISING YOUR FREE WILL AND TAKING PLEASURE IN RIDICULING WHAT OTHERS HOLD SACRED!<\/p>\n
And yes, some of my own teenagers chose to participate in Halloween activities this year. They know exactly where I stand. They know what I teach. But I also understand that I cannot force somebody into a genuine relationship with Yeshua. I can teach the Word, demonstrate the Word, pray over my children, and stand firmly upon the Word, but ultimately, they must choose whom they will serve!<\/p>\n
AND THAT IS THE VERY REASON THE GOSPEL MUST CONTINUE TO BE PREACHED!<\/p>\n
BECAUSE PEOPLE STILL HAVE A CHOICE!<\/p>\n
NOW LET ME TAKE YOU BACK TO THE DAYS OF NOAH!<\/p>\n
Genesis 6:5 tells us that the wickedness of mankind had become great upon the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man\u2019s heart was only evil continually.<\/p>\n
VERSE 6 SAYS THAT IT GRIEVED THE LORD AT HIS HEART!<\/p>\n
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WEIGHT OF THAT SCRIPTURE?<\/p>\n
THE CREATOR LOOKED UPON THE CONDITION OF HIS CREATION, AND HIS HEART WAS GRIEVED!<\/p>\n
I SAT THERE READING THOSE COMMENTS LAST NIGHT, AND I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT PASSAGE. I THOUGHT ABOUT HOW PATIENT GOD HAS BEEN WITH HUMANITY. HOW MUCH MERCY HE HAS EXTENDED. HOW MANY OPPORTUNITIES HE HAS GIVEN PEOPLE TO TURN TOWARD HIM.<\/p>\n
AND YET HIS NAME CONTINUES TO BE USED AS A PUNCHLINE!<\/p>\n
BUT DO NOT CONFUSE THE PATIENCE OF GOD WITH THE APPROVAL OF GOD!<\/p>\n
DO NOT CONFUSE HIS MERCY WITH HIS PERMISSION!<\/p>\n
AND DO NOT CONFUSE THE FACT THAT JUDGMENT HAS NOT FALLEN WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT ACCOUNTABILITY WILL NEVER COME!<\/p>\n
GALATIANS 6:7 DECLARES, \u201cBE NOT DECEIVED; GOD IS NOT MOCKED: FOR WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWETH, THAT SHALL HE ALSO REAP.\u201d<\/p>\n
THAT IS NOT MY OPINION! THAT IS THE WORD OF THE LIVING GOD!<\/p>\n
And let me make something clear. I am not declaring that every earthquake, every war, every disaster, or every shaking in this world is God\u2019s punishment for somebody mocking Jesus. But Scripture repeatedly warns that nations and individuals cannot abandon righteousness without consequences.<\/p>\n
AND IF THERE HAS EVER BEEN A GENERATION THAT NEEDS TO FALL ON ITS FACE BEFORE THE LIVING GOD, IT IS THIS ONE!<\/p>\n
NOT BECAUSE GOD HAS STOPPED LOVING HUMANITY, BUT BECAUSE HUMANITY DESPERATELY NEEDS TO REMEMBER WHO GOD IS!<\/p>\n
HE IS HOLY!<\/p>\n
HE IS RIGHTEOUS!<\/p>\n
HE IS MERCIFUL!<\/p>\n
BUT HE IS NOT TO BE MOCKED!<\/p>\n
AND TO EVERY BELIEVER WHO PUT A LITTLE JESUS IN THOSE HALLOWEEN CANDY BAGS, I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING TO YOU!<\/p>\n
WELL DONE FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO SHARE YOUR FAITH!<\/p>\n
WHILE OTHERS WERE CONCERNED ABOUT FITTING IN, YOU WERE THINKING ABOUT REACHING OUT!<\/p>\n
WHILE OTHERS WERE HANDING OUT CANDY THAT WOULD BE GONE BY MORNING, YOU WERE HANDING OUT A MESSAGE THAT COULD CHANGE SOMEBODY\u2019S ETERNITY!<\/p>\n
YOU MAY NEVER KNOW WHO READ THAT PAMPHLET!<\/p>\n
YOU MAY NEVER KNOW WHICH CHILD ASKED THEIR PARENTS ABOUT JESUS!<\/p>\n
YOU MAY NEVER KNOW WHICH FAMILY HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT SALVATION BECAUSE OF ONE LITTLE PIECE OF PAPER!<\/p>\n
BUT THE WORD OF GOD DECLARES IN ISAIAH 55:11 THAT HIS WORD SHALL NOT RETURN UNTO HIM VOID!<\/p>\n
SO DON\u2019T YOU DARE BECOME ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL BECAUSE THE WORLD IS OFFENDED BY IT!<\/p>\n
AND NOW, TO THE REMNANT, HEAR THIS WORD!<\/p>\n
WE WERE NOT CALLED TO NEGOTIATE WITH DARKNESS!<\/p>\n
WE WERE NOT COMMISSIONED TO WATER DOWN THE GOSPEL TO SATISFY A REBELLIOUS CULTURE!<\/p>\n
WE WERE NOT ANOINTED TO SIT SILENTLY WHILE THE NAME ABOVE EVERY NAME IS TURNED INTO A PUBLIC JOKE!<\/p>\n
WE WERE CALLED TO BE THE SALT OF THE EARTH AND THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!<\/p>\n
AND YOU CANNOT BE LIGHT IF YOU KEEP HIDING EVERY TIME SOMEBODY COMPLAINS ABOUT THE BRIGHTNESS!<\/p>\n
MATTHEW 5:14 DECLARES, \u201cYE ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A CITY THAT IS SET ON AN HILL CANNOT BE HID.\u201d<\/p>\n
LET THE CHURCH COME OUT OF HIDING!<\/p>\n
LET THE PREACHERS FIND THEIR BACKBONES!<\/p>\n
LET THE WATCHMEN RETURN TO THE WALL!<\/p>\n
LET THE REMNANT OPEN THEIR MOUTHS!<\/p>\n
NOT WITH HATRED TOWARD THE LOST, BUT WITH HOLY GHOST BOLDNESS, UNCOMPROMISING TRUTH, AND THE KIND OF LOVE THAT REFUSES TO WATCH SOULS WALK TOWARD DESTRUCTION WITHOUT OFFERING THEM THE WAY TO SALVATION!<\/p>\n
BECAUSE HERE IS THE PART THAT SHOULD MAKE EVERY BELIEVER TREMBLE!<\/p>\n
THOSE PEOPLE MOCKING JESUS IN THOSE COMMENTS ARE THE VERY PEOPLE HE WENT TO CALVARY TO SAVE!<\/p>\n
AND THAT SHOULD BREAK OUR HEARTS EVEN MORE THAN THEIR WORDS MAKE US ANGRY!<\/p>\n
HE DID NOT ENDURE THE CROSS BECAUSE HUMANITY WAS RIGHTEOUS!<\/p>\n
HE ENDURED THE CROSS BECAUSE HUMANITY NEEDED A SAVIOR!<\/p>\n
AND THAT SAME SAVIOR IS STILL EXTENDING HIS HAND TODAY!<\/p>\n
BUT THE DAY WILL COME WHEN EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER! PHILIPPIANS 2:10\u201311!<\/p>\n
SO LAUGH IF YOU WANT TO!<\/p>\n
MOCK IF YOU CHOOSE TO!<\/p>\n
REJECT THE MESSAGE IF THAT IS YOUR DECISION!<\/p>\n
BUT DO NOT EXPECT THE TRUE BODY OF CHRIST TO PUT OUT ITS FIRE JUST BECAUSE YOU FIND THE LIGHT UNCOMFORTABLE!<\/p>\n
WE WILL PREACH YESHUA!<\/p>\n
WE WILL PROCLAIM REPENTANCE!<\/p>\n
WE WILL DECLARE SALVATION!<\/p>\n
WE WILL STAND UPON THE WORD OF GOD WHEN THE CULTURE STANDS AGAINST IT!<\/p>\n
AND WE WILL LOVE PEOPLE ENOUGH TO TELL THEM THE TRUTH, EVEN WHEN THAT TRUTH IS UNPOPULAR!<\/p>\n
BECAUSE THE SAME LAMB WHO WAS SLAIN IS THE KING WHO REIGNS!<\/p>\n
THE SAME JESUS WHO WORE A CROWN OF THORNS IS THE KING OF KINGS!<\/p>\n
THE SAME SAVIOR WHO CRIED, \u201cFATHER, FORGIVE THEM,\u201d IS THE ONE BEFORE WHOM EVERY KNEE WILL ONE DAY BOW!<\/p>\n
AND THAT LITTLE JESUS IN YOUR CHILD\u2019S CANDY BAG?<\/p>\n
IT MAY HAVE BEEN SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT IN THE PALM OF A CHILD\u2019S HAND, BUT THE NAME IT REPRESENTS IS ABOVE EVERY NAME IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH!<\/p>\n
THE WORLD CAN HAVE ITS OPINIONS!<\/p>\n
THE COMMENT SECTIONS CAN HAVE THEIR TANTRUMS!<\/p>\n
BUT THE THRONE OF GOD HAS NOT MOVED ONE SINGLE INCH!<\/p>\n
AND THE LIGHT OF YESHUA HAMASHIACH WILL NOT BE EXTINGUISHED!<\/p>\n
