I'm Tired

I'm Tired

(This word is a very deeply, personal word that I received from the Holy Spirit. It is not intended to condemn anyone. It is intented to wake us up!
Myself included.)

Isaiah 1:  2  Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth!  For the LORD has spoken:“ I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against Me;
3  The ox knows its owner and the donkey its master’s crib; but Israel does not know, my people do not consider.”
4  Alas, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a brood of evildoers, children who are corrupters! They have forsaken the LORD, They have provoked to anger the Holy One of Israel, they have turned away backward.
5  Why should you be stricken again? You will revolt more and more. The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faints.
6  From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but wounds and bruises and putrefying sores; they have not been closed or bound up, or soothed with ointment.
7  Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire; strangers devour your land in your presence; and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8  So the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a hut in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9  Unless the LORD of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been made like Gomorrah.
10  Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah:
11  “ To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me?” says the LORD. “ I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed cattle. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs or goats.
12  “ When you come to appear before Me, who has required this from your hand, to trample my courts?
13 Bring no more futile sacrifices; incense is an abomination to me. The new moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies— I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
14  Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them.
15  When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.
16  “ Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil,
17  Learn to do good; seek justice, rebuke the oppressor; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18  “ Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD,

I'm tired of... Christians who treat church like it’s their own personal Country Club.

I'm tired of... Churches concerned over the color of the rugs, the quality of the sound and the temperature of the building all the while ignoring the lonely, hungry and lost out in their own town’s street corner.

I'm tired of...Worldly entertainment in the house of God replacing the Holy Spirit in the house of God.

I'm tired of... Christians who refuse to walk mature.

I'm tired of... Christians saying "that's the way we've always done it."

I'm tired of... Christians who avoid praying and Christians who avoid fasting, but sit in a service waiting to be blessed by their pastor.

I'm tired of... Churches who think pre-schoolers and youth are too small to teach them anything about the truths of Christ.

I'm tired of... Christians who shun other Christians that want to walk a little deeper into the nature of Christ that they themselves are willing to go.

I'm tired of... Christians who complain about their church but have never given a dime or time to God's kingdom.

I'm tired of... Christians who stand and cheer at football games on Friday nights but walk into church like they are at a funeral.

I'm tired of... Christians who can sing Lady Gaga's latest hit but can't recite the 10 commandments.

I'm tired of... Christian fathers who push their sons to play sports, but have never taught them to read the bible.

I'm tired of... Christian parents, who on Sunday, weep about losing their children to the world, but send them off to be trained in worldly schools on Monday.

I'm tired of... "Christian talk" on men's lips, but worldliness in their hearts.

I'm tired of... Christians who complain about the teenager wearing a ball cap into the sanctuary, but never take time to see the needs of their hearts.

I'm tired of... Christians who think they are better then anyone else because they attend a certain church once a week.

I'm tired of... Sunday morning being the most cliquish hour of the week all the while ignoring the needs of the lonely in the seat next to them.

I'm tired of... Hearing churches claim to be one body in Christ, but refuse to meet together with other Christian churches because that would "usher in the one world religious system."

I'm tired of... Christians who think pianos and organs are holy but drums and guitars are not.

I'm tired of... Worship teams that think they are playing to an audience.

I'm tired of... Christians who think worship is for a select few and only for Sunday morning.

I'm tired of... Christians who say "I'm fine" when really their lives are in shambles and far from Holiness.

I'm tired of... knowing Christians who are afraid to share their past hurts and have to keep their secrets to themselves for fear of being judged by their church if they really open up.

I'm tired of... Christians who deny the supernatural workings of the Holy Spirit.

I'm tired of... Christians who refuse to behave as if they’re in the middle of an unseen warfare.

I'm tired of... Christians who believe miracles only happened in the bible.

I'm tired of... Christians who call on God like He's a spiritual genie in a bottle and turn away from Him when He has the nerve not to answer their prayer.

I'm tired of... Christians who think that they own all that they possess.

I'm tired of... the "little religion box" that some Christians have put Jesus into.

I'm tired of... Ministries that push the lie that the congragation is their children and they are their father.

I'm tired of... Christians not being able to share the word of God unless there is an academic, theology, masters degree or some other Babylonish paperwork behind their name.

I'm tired of... Head Pastor, Associate Pastor, Board, president and vice president of the denomination instead of apostle, prophet, pastor, evangelist, teacher.

I'm tired of... Christians who try to convice me that the five fold ministry of apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelist have been all squashed into the ministry of one earthly man or woman.

I'm tired of... the limits that most churches put on God's power, God’s people and God’s Spirit.

Isaiah 1: 9 Unless the LORD of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been made like Gomorrah.

Jesus did not die so His people could "play church" while there are lost souls to win, hungry to feed, hurting to love, lonely hearts to mend, and broken lives to heal. There is no limit to God's power displayed through His people if we would just stop going to church and start being the church!

The good news is in:

Romans 11:5 "Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace"

This remnant of God, according to the election of grace, are those that are weeping and travailling in their Spirit. It is those that are lonely and homesick for holiness. It is those that have a deep down cry in their hearts to be free.

Ø     That they will cease being natural believers and live in the realm of the supernatural.
Ø     That they may receive the strengh and the courage to carry their cross
Ø     That they may die to their selfishness so that Christ may live in and through them.
Ø     That Christ might increase in them while they decrease.
Ø     That the dead organized church will cease and that the living organism of the Holy Ghost will form them into a bride.

God is tired of common, fake, photocopied meetings. He is longing to pour into His holy bride, spiritual divine truths of His nature.

Ø     God is calling us to death to self that He may live in us
John 12:24 "...I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit".
Ø     God is seeking a remnant that will take on themselves the nature of Christ
Ø     God's desire is that spiritually grow up, become spiritually mature and bear the fruit of righteousness, the fruit of holiness and the fruit of love at long last.

2Kings 19:30 "And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward".

God is tired of us walking the ordinary, natural. He desires us to walk the extraordinary, the supernatural.

God is calling for His remnant.

Jesus is seeking His bride.

Spiritual Warfare Part I…..In Heavenly Places

Spiritual Warfare Part I…..In Heavenly Places Ephesians 1: 19    and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. So the heavenly places are where Christ has been made to sit at the right hand of God. Therefore the heavenly places are where God is. To understand where the heavenly places are we need to change our thinking from what we had after we first became Christians. T his verse is not saying that Christ is sitting on a physical throne beside a physical...

Our Foundation

Our Foundation I Corinthians 3: 11 - For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12   Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13   each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. 14   If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15   If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. 16 ¶ Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17   If anyone defiles the temple of God , God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. When man tried to build the tower of Babel they were not able to do it because God confused them, but God is building what man was not able to build. Ø    ...

The Problem With "Church"

The Problem With "Church" Ezekiel 47: 3   And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles. 4   Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins. 5   Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over. 6   And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river. 7   Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. 12   And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neit...
