AMERICA'S CHRISTIAN LEADERS,
"AS I HAVE WALKED AMONG YOU, I HAVE CAST MY PLUMB-LINE IN YOUR MIDST, I HAVE FOUND YOU LACKING...I HAVE FOUND YOU WALKING IN THE SIN OF ASSUMPTION.
DO YOU THINK THAT I DO NOT KNOW? DO YOU THINK THAT I DO NOT SEE?
YOU HAVE IGNORANTLY AND ARROGANTLY ASSUMED YOU KNOW ME. YOU HAVE ASSUMED THAT YOUR WAYS IN MINISTRY PLEASE ME. YOU HAVE ASSUMED THAT YOUR PLANS AND MEETINGS OF WORSHIP PLEASE ME. YOU HAVE NOT ASKED ME AND SAT LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO TEACH YOU, YOU HAVE ARROGANTLY ASSUMED. I SAY TO YOU THIS DAY...ENOUGH!
YOU HAVE HEARD THE PROCLAMATION OF COMING CHANGES TO MY CHURCH AND NEW WAYS TO BE REVEALED, BUT YOU HAVE CONTINUED TO PURSUE YOUR OWN IDEAS IN MINISTRY THAT SEEM RIGHT IN YOUR OWN EYES, BUT CONTINUE TO GRIEVE AND HINDER THE MOVING OF MY SPIRIT.
YOU HAVE REFUSED TO MOVE INTO THE NEW. I HAVE CLOSED DOORS THAT YOU MIGHT LOOK INWARD INTO THE DEPTHS OF MY HEART AND SEE BEFORE YOU THE NEEDS OF MY PEOPLE TO BUILD THEM UP INTO MY CHARACTER AND IMAGE, BUT YOU CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON YOUR OLD WAYS, YOUR OWN DESIRES. YOUR DESIRES THAT YOU HAVE CALLED "MINISTRY IN MY NAME."
MANY OF YOU CONTINUALLY FOCUS ON MEETINGS AND THE ERECTION AND BEAUTIFICATION OF BUILDINGS. YOU HAVE FOUGHT AGAINST MY NEW DIRECTION, YOU HAVE FOUGHT AGAINST MY VERY HAND TO BRING CHANGE IN YOUR MIDST. YOU HAVE FOUGHT AGAINST ME WITH YOUR ARROGANCE AND SIN OF ASSUMING YOU KNOW ME AND WHAT PLEASES MY HEART.
AMERICAN LEADERS, YES EVEN THOSE THAT PROPHESY IN MY NAME...YOU HAVE BEEN FOUND LACKING.
WHO ARE YOU TO THINK YOU CAN FIGHT AGAINST MY HAND TO BRING CHANGE, THOSE WHO LEAD MY PEOPLE. I HAVE ANNOUNCED MY WINDS OF CHANGE AND THE REARRANGING OF THE SYSTEMS THAT YOU HAVE SET UP. YOU CONTINUE TO PLACE MY NAME ON THINGS I HAVE NOT ESTABLISHED.
YOUR PRIORITIES NEED TO COME INTO ALIGNMENT WITH MINE. ONLY OBEDIENCE BRINGS MY BLESSINGS, YOUR OWN IDEAS ARE FILLED WITH DISOBEDIENCE AND ARE EQUAL TO REBELLION AND WITCHCRAFT. YOUR IDEAS ARE FOOLISHNESS TO ME AND BEAR NO LASTING FRUIT. (1 SAM 5:12)
HAVE YOU NOT HEARD MY WAYS ARE HIGHER THAN YOURS?
YOU CONTINUE WITH YOUR RELIGIOUS GATHERINGS OF YOUR OWN AGENDAS. MEETINGS TO GATHER MY PEOPLE ONLY TO EXALT YOURSELF AND YOU CALL IT THE "LEADING OF MY PEOPLE". HAVE YOU NOT READ THAT WHEN YOU GATHER EVERYONE HAS A PART TO SHARE?
EVERY JOINT I HAVE GIVEN IS MEANT TO SUPPLY SOMETHING THAT IS NECESSARY FOR THE BUILDING OF MY BODY. THE ENCOURAGING OF ONE ANOTHER, THE BUILDING UP OF ONE ANOTHER, BY ONE ANOTHER. YOU LIMIT THE INTERACTION OF MY BODY BY YOUR AGENDAS. "STOP", I SAY, "STOP! ENOUGH OF YOUR IDEAS", I SAY, "ENOUGH OF YOUR PLANS".
I HAVE CAREFULLY PLACED WITHIN MY PEOPLE...PSALMS, SONGS, WORDS OF WISDOM AND ENCOURAGEMENT, TEACHING, CORRECTION AND DIRECTION...ALL COMING TOGETHER IN THE FELLOWSHIP OF MY SPIRIT TO GLEAN NOURISHMENT. BREAD WAITING TO BE GIVEN AND SHARED FROM MY VERY HAND THROUGH MY PEOPLE ONE TO ANOTHER. WHAT YOU DO NOT POSSESS, OTHERS HAVE BEEN GIVEN.
MANY LEADERS AMONG YOU CONTINUE TO GO UNNOTICED, THESE LEADERS THAT MY HAND IS UPON, CALLED BY ME, CHOSEN AND ANOINTED GO UNDISCERNED AND SPIRITUAL GIFTS AMONG MY PEOPLE GO UNUSED. THE VERY NEEDS OF MY PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING MET.
MY PEOPLE ARE BEING NEGLECTED IN YOUR MIDST AND I HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE. YOU HAVE TURNED A DEAF EAR TO ME AND SHOWN DISDAIN FOR THE VERY THINGS THAT PLEASE ME.
AMERICAN LEADERS YOU ANNOUNCE TO OTHERS THAT YOU KNOW ME. I TELL YOU THIS DAY....SURELY, YOU DO NOT KNOW ME AS YOU PROFESS.
WHO IT IS THAT HAS CALLED YOU INTO THIS PLACE OF SERVICE FOR THE LEADING OF MY PEOPLE? IS IT NOT ME THE GREAT SHEPHERD? IS IT NOT ME YOU ARE LEADING THEM TOWARDS? HOW IT IS THAT YOU BEGAN IN THE SPIRIT AND HAVE LEANED TOWARDS LEADING THEM THROUGH THE ARM OF THE FLESH?
YOU LEAD MY PEOPLE TO CRY OUT TO ME CONTINUALLY FOR THE HEALING OF YOUR LAND, BUT YOUR CRIES ARE MISGUIDED AND IN VAIN. IN YOUR ATTEMPTS TO SEEK MY FACE, YOU HAVE LACKED WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING. YOU HAVE NOT COME CLOSE ENOUGH TO SEE MY COUNTENANCE.
IT IS MY COUNTENANCE THAT REFLECTS MY VERY THOUGHTS, MY APPROVAL AND CONFIRMS THE DESIRES OF MY HEART. IT IS MY COUNTENANCE WHERE YOU HAVE YET TO SEE AND REAFFIRM THE DISPLEASURE OF YOUR WAYS IN LIFE AND THE MINISTRY TO MY PEOPLE.
YOU HAVE NOT COME CLOSE ENOUGH TO SEE THE DISAPPROVAL OF YOUR WAYS THAT MY COUNTENANCE REVEALS. YOU HAVE YET TO KNOW THE VERY THINGS THAT HINDER, QUENCH AND GRIEVE MY SPIRIT.
HOW IS THIS SO, YOU ASK? YOU ARE NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO ME TO SEE, TO HEAR, TO KNOW ME AS I AM.
YOUR SINS OF ASSUMPTION HAVE BLINDED YOU FROM MY VERY COUNTENANCE AND HAVE BLOCKED REVELATION, REPENTANCE AND MY HAND OF BLESSING. HOW CAN YOU REPENT AND TURN FROM YOUR WICKED WAYS IF YOU CANNOT SEE MY DISPLEASURE?
THE SIN OF ASSUMING YOU KNOW ME HAS OPENED DOORS FOR WICKEDNESS BRINGING A SNARE AND DESTRUCTION FROM THE ENEMY UPON YOURSELVES, THE PEOPLE AND THE LAND. HAVE YOU NOT HEARD THAT I DESIRE OBEDIENCE MUCH MORE THAN IMPERSONAL AND MANIPULATIVE SACRIFICE?
AMERICAN LEADERS, YOU HAVE PLACED YOURSELVES AS IDOLS AMONG MY PEOPLE. YOUR VOICES REACH INTO THE NATIONS. THESE NATIONS HAVE LEARNED TO LOOK TO YOU TO LEAD THEM. INSTEAD OF LEADING THEM INTO FREEDOM, YOU HAVE LED THEM INTO IDOLATRY. THE NATIONS HAVE BEEN TAUGHT TO SEEK MAN TO SAVE THEM AND NOT TO RELY AND TRUST SOLELY ON THE GOD OF THEIR SALVATION FOR THEIR NEEDS.
AMERICAN LEADERS YOU HAVE LED THE NATIONS INTO WAYS OF FOOLISHNESS, ARROGANCE AND DECEIT. YOU HAVE EXALTED KNOWLEDGE ABOVE OBEDIENCE AND HAVE PLACED THE READING OF BOOKS ABOVE RELATIONSHIP WITH ME, EACH OTHER AND ONE ON ONE DISCIPLESHIP.
I HAVE CALLED MAN TO FOLLOW ME, YET YOU HAVE PUSHED THEM TOWARDS YOUR TEACHINGS IN BOOKS BEFORE INTIMACY WITH ME FOR ANSWERS. DID I NOT SAY THAT I WOULD SEND MY SPIRIT TO LEAD MY PEOPLE INTO ALL TRUTH? IS THE JOY OF SITTING AT MY FEET NOT ENOUGH?
REPENT AND TURN FROM ASSUMING YOU KNOW ME.
REPENT AND TURN FROM ASSUMING YOU KNOW WHAT PLEASES ME.
REPENT FOR THINKING YOU UNDERSTAND MY WAYS.
REPENT FOR THINKING YOU UNDERSTAND MY HOLINESS.
REPENT AND TURN FROM YOUR OWN IDEAS IN MINISTRY.
REPENT AND TURN FROM YOUR OWN IDEAS IN WORSHIP.
REPENT AND TURN FROM THE WICKEDNESS OF SELF EXALTING IDOLATRY.
YOU HAVE NOT LISTENED TO OR WANTED TO HEAR MY PROPHETS TRUMPETING YOUR NEED FOR CORRECTION AND REBUKE, FOR THIS VERY REASON YOU HAVE NOT HEARD AND REMAIN UNCLEAR OF MY PLANS FOR REDIRECTION.
YOU HAVE NOT ASKED WHAT IS PLEASING TO ME WITH A SINCERE DESIRE TO CHANGE YOUR WAYS.
UNTIL YOU REPENT AND TURN, SEEK ME WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART, SEE, KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHAT PLEASES ME ....YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HEAR ME ACCURATELY AND WALK IN OBEDIENCE.
AMERICA'S LEADERS YOU HOLD THE KEYS TO BLESSINGS IN YOUR HANDS. YOU MUST LEAD WISELY. IF YOU DO NOT CONTINUALLY FOLLOW ME CLOSELY AND SEE CLEARLY WHERE I AM LEADING YOU, HOW CAN YOU LEAD MY PEOPLE AND A NATION?
I WILL NOT BLESS IGNORANCE, I WILL NOT BLESS DISOBEDIENCE.
REPENT AND TURN TO ME AND RENEW YOUR MIND ACCORDING TO MY HEART, SAYS THE LORD, IN HUMILITY AND BROKENNESS AND SEEK ME TO KNOW MY HEART AND MY WAYS.
IT IS ONLY THROUGH COMPLETE DEATH OF SELF, DEATH TO YOUR OWN IDEAS, SEEKING TO KNOW ME AND THE WAYS OF MY HEART AND MY KINGDOM AS IT IS IN HEAVEN; THAT YOU CAN TRULY KNOW ME AS I AM, HEAR ME CLEARLY, THEN IN OBEDIENCE WALK ACCORDING TO MY WAYS, RECEIVE MY BLESSINGS AND EXPERIENCE THE HEALING OF YOUR LAND."
"COME BACK" SAYS THE LORD, "COME BACK TO YOUR FIRST LOVE. SEE AND HEAR MY HEART THAT YOU MAY LEAD MY PEOPLE INTO THE DESTINIES I HAVE PLANNED FOR THEM."
Rev 2:3,4
"Without growing weary, you have persevered and endured many things for the sake of My name. But I have this against you:You have abandoned your first love. Therefore, keep in mind how far you have fallen. Repent and perform the deeds you did at first. But if you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lamp stand from its place.…
1 Thess 5:19
"Do not quench the Spirit."
1 Sam 5:12
“Does the Lord take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as he does in obedience? Certainly, obedience is better than sacrifice; paying attention is better than the fat of rams. For rebellion (disobedience) is like the sin of divination, and presumption is like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the Lord’s orders, he has rejected you from being king.”
