The Cry Against Violence!
VIOLENCE! VIOLENCE! Oh the violence in the world today.
Matthew 24:12
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
In the last days, because love shall become cold between people in general, hate shall arise its ugly head above love so drastically that love won't be recognizable! Why! Why will it become this way? What will be the reason for this drastic change?
"News Flash"!! Because people will begin to turn their backs on Jesus! Not because of racism, not because of nation against nation, not because of lust or pride or envy!!!! It will simply be because of; Losing Their first Love! Jesus!
Revelation 2
1Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
2I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
3And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
4Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Point! The lost love is not in the world! No! But in the Church!!! This is the main reason for the lost love in the world!
I know many out there will not agree with me on this subject! But, the truth is in the pudding! So many false prophets have gone out in the world today, and so many churches being raised up with many different names. Yet, know absolutely nothing about the truth of the Gospel, or the love of Jesus! New doctrines, New standards, etc...! What is the truth? Many are even asking; "What is truth?" There has been so many changes in the word of God, in the standards, in the doctrines, and the list goes on and on!
Job 24:2
Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
The old landmarks has been removed, the old truth, LOVE has been removed from the equation.
I know, sometimes when I am cooking a pot of soup, i have certain ingredients that I add to make the taste just so. I have cooked the same soup and not be missing only one ingredient, and it has such a bland taste!
It is the same as in the Church world today! So many to choose from, so many to fit our desires, so many to satisfy the flesh. This comes from the removal of certain landmarks, ingredients, etc...!
The return of the Lord is sure! He will come as a thief in the night, in our unawares, when we least expect it! Will we be ready? Will the Lord find the Love in place that is needed to show forth the true word of God in Love!
It is the lack of Love that is causing the violence of the world today! But the Lord knew this would come, therefore He reminded us, that it is inevidible that He must come back after His Church! Which Church is the church that he will receive to Himself? The Church that is full of love and mercy!
Hebrews 10:37-38
37For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
When Christ returns, will He find a Church that is living by Faith, and standing on Love? This is what the Lord will return to find to take back to the Kingdom of Heaven!
1 Corinthians 13
1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Charity: Love! This is what is needed in the world today to take away the violence that is lurking around every corner.
I pray that all will ponder the scriptures that are in this article, and message from heaven! God is coming back after a church that is without spot and blameless!
Peter 3:14
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
This is what Jesus will be looking for when he returns! Not the anme of your church, not the title that you wear, not the position that we may have in the church. The Lord is coming back after a people that will serve Him with Faith and Love, which brings forth the Peace of God! Hallelujah!
AMEN!
