Break Out! O Church of God. Break Out!

Studying the entire Bible will require changes in our lives. It will help us get focused on godly priorities and cause some things to be set aside and others rearranged. Part of judgment beginning with true disciples is getting our house in order. Having our house in order will give us more confidence about hearing "well done" and receiving rewards at the judgment seat of Christ. It will cause us to be better witnesses to the Church, the lost, and principalities and powers (Ephesians 3:10).

Husbands and Dads, are you really a spiritual leader in your family? Is Christ formed in you? Are you setting the example in prayer, fasting and study of the Word of God? Are you teaching the Word of God to your family? (Please study and apply Hebrews 5:12-6:2). Have you found a Church for you and your family that is really patterned after the Church revealed in the Bible, or are you bound by tradition? Are you taking your family to a local church that, in actuality, teaches against certain truths of the word? Are you storing up treasures on earth or in heaven? Are you wearing yourself out with earthly things or walking in the Spirit, fulfilling God's will on earth? Take your place and help the Church break out from man's traditions. Break Out, O Church of God, Break Out!

Wives and Mothers, are you in a Church that is true to God and His Word? Are you in a Church that does not mix truth with error and/or man's leaven? Do you know the difference? Are you too busy to care and so worn out you just want a nice place to make you comfortable a few times a week? Are you bound to tradition? Are you attending a local church that, in actuality, does not fully honor Jesus and His Word? Is one reason you go there because your husband or children will attend and be involved? Are you bowing your knees in travail to God for a Church in unity on this earth (Ephesians 3:14-); a Church in the image of Christ and with Christ formed within (Galatians 4:19)? No one should understand travail more than you! Will you do what you know (James 1:22)? Break Out, O Church of God, Break Out!

I heard in my spirit that, as the world doesn't like what some in the Church are saying, some in the Church won't like what I'm saying. Let me know if I fulfilled that word!
