I have watched the election activities – the debates, polls and reports – and based on what I am seeing thus far, I am realizing, or should I say, confirming more each day that the church is in a terrible state! 1.It shows that much of the Body of Christ cannot identify God’s will. 2. If we don’t know God’s will, we will not make the right choices . 3.Christians are no longer discerning, and if we can’t discern, the serious deception is ahead. 4. The message which many churches are preaching is not the Gospel. Why aren’t people reading I John , 2 & 3, Revelations, Daniel, and bringing it all back to the Cross!
The Holy Spirit
Are people listening to the Holy Spirit of God? Do they even have the Holy Spirit? Many people visit churches, or become members of a church because of the aesthetics of the building and the size of the choir. All physical and fleshly things! That is why the enemy uses the fleshly, physical things to blind the masses.
If you are not growing spiritually you need to check your life and where you eat spiritually. If you don’t even know how to check whether you are growing spiritually or not, you need to go back to basics!
No Respect For The Church
This is why politicians have no respect for the church. Many pastors need to repent, because they are leading people astray! It is interesting that when Elizabeth had conceived after being barren for so long, God had to shut Zachariah’s speech down for the entire pregnancy. He was made dumb and deaf so that the Lord could speak to him especially concerning what/who He is going to birth/bring forth! Because maybe he would have killed or spoken against what God was about to do that would benefit them also. Hence, we must recognize that God does not have to name something based on what we are used to, familiar with or experienced in the past. The child named John was not named after his father, which was customary, neither did the child have his father’s characteristics, speech or political correctness. As Christians, we are the biggest murderers of things that the Lord wants to birth. The outcome of the elections will be a test for the Church to see whether or not we are ready or rapture-ready. We are the ones who should be teaching the unsaved, but surprisingly, most unsaved individuals have far more discerning than the saved! Rahab and the Woman at the Well, Gideon – we need them now to prepare us for what is ahead! That is why we as Christians have a right to vote but our first thing is to teach the people to know God’s will! Let’s pray that God’s will be done.
