“And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.” (I Corinthians 2: 4 – 5)

The people of God are no longer discerning as they should, they have allowed the serpent to enter and ravage the temple. I believe the Western churches, particularly the American church are about to go through a time of wilderness and it is God Himself who is going to carry them through it to wake them up. He did it with the Children of Israel many times to bring them back to righteousness. It is why so many people have been joining the cult and the new age. It is also why the politicians are going to psychics.

The prophets and priests of old were not afraid to declare God’s counsel and truth! Now every wind of doctrine we just hang on to it. We should be leading the world but instead we are following the world and the world’s ways and are not filled with Self, pride, greed and thirst for power. Many are focused on accuracy and ‘how great they are’! Not even a desire for souls to be saved is expressed. Some want to be as famous as an Oprah Winfrey. Some want to be on American Idol. Sadly, the Christian today does not even know how to Fast! Some were focusing on buildings and the building of people is not taking place.

The Holy Spirit weeps for the condition – particularly of the Black Church.

May the true remnant never cease to cry out! An awakening is coming! It is not an awakening to show ‘how powerful I am or how must gold dust and diamond dust I can blow’ but an awakening to rebuild the altar as in the day of Elijah, that Baal will not reign over us.
