And the Lord will cause His majestic voice to be heard and the descending blow of His arm to be seen, in furious anger and a flame of devouring fire, with a cloudburst and storm and hailstones.
Shadows lengthen, darkness descends, night falls, the slumbering city awakens. Another day of darkness is at hand; a day filled with half-truths, mystery, turmoil and intrigue. "Woe to the rebellious children" declares the LORD, "to those who carry out a plan, but not MINE, who form an alliance, but against My will, heaping up sin upon sin. These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to obey the LORD' instruction.
The weak wander aimlessly - lost, confused, disillusioned, unconcerned; but where are the warriors? The wealthy plan and scheme, are agitated, fretful, unconcerned; but where are the warriors? Where are the warriors engaged in the battle, experienced in warfare, skilled in struggle, committed to The Truth... mighty men (and women), treading down the enemy in the mire of the streets in battle; and they will fight, for the LORD will be with them. 'But the American church is asleep, lulled to sleep by a satanic lullaby; all the Christians are sleepy.' (Sheep Among Wolves, FAI Studios)
Where is the fire that set apart the disciples at Pentecost? Where is the spark that ignited the Welsh Revival? Where is the flame of fire that set ablaze Azusa Street. Where are the men and women of purpose and determination, filled with devotion, fearless and faithful; devoted to their Saviour, their LORD their King? O LORD, do not Your eyes look for truth? ...Refusing to accept discipline, they have made their faces harder than stone and refuse to repent.
"A pastor did what a pastor is supposed to do: he preached the gospel (homosexuality is a sin)! As a direct result of preaching the gospel, the sheep walked out and sought another shepherd who would not preach the gospel to them. And somehow I’m supposed to believe that today’s church is ready to take on the darkness. Somehow I’m supposed to believe that today’s church is fully equipped, in battle array, ready to make war against the enemy. The great falling away is upon us, and there is no great revival in sight". Michael Boldea, 10/02/19
Where are the warriors?
