"Do not doubt the destruction soon coming to the nations. My Word is Truth, My Ways are Perfect and My Will ~ Holy and Righteous. Doubt produces fear. Do not doubt ~ believe.
Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses a thing will be accomplished. Many voices have spoken; Remnant arise, Prepare, Proclaim. Many others have also spoken; Silence, Slumber, Sleep, Revival. Revival is not possible for a nation whose heart remains far from Me. Each one must repent and return but the nations will perish, dying in their sins.
Gathering round about My throne are the mighty ones preparing for battle. Swords are drawn, all await the order to advance. It comes soon."
"I moan like the sound of a lyre for Moab, as does my innermost being for Kir-heres." Isaiah 16:11
Moab = unregenerate people
Kir-heres = place of strongholds
The shepherds concentrate on building ministries, church finances, committee meetings. Repentance is not heard. Houses of prayer in name only. Seeker-friendly and full of the world. Having a form of godliness. Some sheep are fat and satisfied. Some sheep are starving. The Benjamin remnant separates itself, hungering and thirsting for the LORD, not the things of the LORD. Help us Abba Father.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, shepherds are responsible for feeding the sheep, but the sheep must seek The Word to know the truth. Sheep will stand before the Throne, so too will shepherds. LORD bless.
DeleteThank you. Yes, each one will give an account.
DeleteRepentance isn't preached because sin and the joyful pursuit of holiness are not preached. The comparisons between Israel before the Captivity in 586 BC and contemporary America are very strong. Only the idols are somewhat different. Jeremiah 12:10, 23:1-2, 50:6, Ezekiel 34:1-10, and Zechariah 11:15-17 give strong words of judgment for the shepherds. Our pastors, and all of us, would do well to study those verses. May they cease man-pleasing messages; may we sheep heed Jesus' call to be zealous and repent [Rev 3:19] Standing around waiting for prosperity or the Rapture will fail, utterly.
Sent with thanks for your faithfulness and receptivity to the Word of the Lord. Hallelujah!
