Guilty of Complacency

Tonight, in the prayer room, God hit me with some pretty weighty issues. Please note, that i am not claiming this as truth, i am just recounting what God spoke to me tonight. If anything written here offends your spirit, please seek God on the issue and read what His Word says about it.

This is what God spoke to me;

We've heard the stories the stories so many times that we don't stop to consider if they're real or not. Do you believe the Word of God? Do you accept every truth that He speaks in His Word?

Have you stopped to consider that Moses marched a whole nation across dry ground that was once a river? Do you believe that Elijah called fire down out of heaven? Do you believe that Jesus really turned water into wine that party goers actually drank?

And most of all, do you truly believe He died for you?

He suffered physical pain. His hands were nailed to a tree. He literally carried the weight of our sins. He bled, and died, so that you might live.

Here we are, in our comfortable Christianity, annoyed if someone sits in our pew on Sunday. We'd rather go to a movie than church. We pervert our minds watching hours upon hours of T.V. and yet we don't devote a single hour to being with Jesus.

Jesus grieves over us.

Can you feel His pain? Can you hear His anguished cry to the Father?

There is a burning desire in Jesus' heart for intimacy with us. And He will stop at nothing until He posses our complete heart.

Do you know that God's judgment over people and nations is actually an attempt to wake them up to His desire for them, and give them a chance to repent of their sins?

And here we sit, ignoring God's judgments. Rationalizing away or sins, content to live in our complacency.

As i sat before Him, He spoke this to my heart about believers today;

"You're so worried about the 'good' things you're doing...But what about the wickedness of man?

You say God, what about the church? Won't you relent and not bring Your judgments on us because of all the good things we do? Won't You relent because we help the poor and hold prayer meetings in Your name?

But the Day is coming when My Righteousness will be poured out...

And I say to you, what about My children? What about the millions of babies that are aborted in the name of comfort and convenience? Who weeps for them? Who's hands does their blood belong to? Do you hear them crying for justice?

No. But I hear their cries, and I will justify.

What about My children who go through life in chains? Held in bondage in the name of slothfulness and pleasure? Who comforts them in the night? Why are they not set free to live? Who's sin holds them there? Do you hear their cries for justice?

No. But I do, and I will come to make all things right.

Nations will be judged for their sins, because they do not repent, because they have hardened their hearts against Me. Because they live in tolerance of the sin around them.

A day is coming, when heaven will be silent, and the prayers of the oppressed will rise to me. The heart of the Father will be moved with Righteous Anger over the cries of those you have turned your back on.

I will justify them.

Their cries will not go unanswered for much longer. I will come. And I won't relent until all things are made right and the cries of my children are answered and the wickedness of man is atoned for.

Do not forget that I AM the Righteous Judge.

I will come again as the Judge.

I will come and justify."

Do we understand Him as the Judge? Do we understand His Righteousness in judging the nations for their sins?

My world has been rocked by what i have learned about His character, the truth about who He is. Have we taken the time to understand Him?

Do we know why He hates our complacency?

I am moved by the new understandings i am gaining about Him.

And all i have to say is;

'The Spirit and the Bride say come!'

-Revelations 22:17
