Wake Up to the Need for Restoration!

Hard Times are here!
Hard times and devilish storms are no longer ahead; they are already here! Unless enough true ministers and disciples who clearly see the need for restoration of the Church quickly unite in faith to bring it about, hard times and devilish storms will only increase. Will you continue to follow the crowds of the world and/or of modern churchanity or will you forsake all to follow Christ and help bring forth a Church in His true image? If you decide to step out to follow Jesus Christ, don’t expect a big crowd to walk with you in the beginning. Actually expect opposition; there will be opposition! Be forewarned that to truly follow Christ will bring you persecution from the world and the modern church, maybe even from family members, but will bring glory to Jesus Christ and light in darkness. If you will have the courage and boldness to step out and maintain your faithfulness in the midst of opposition and persecution, your witness will open eyes of people in and out of the Church. Your witness may even open the eyes of that loved one you so care about!

Open Eyes and Ears to Need For Restoration
Jesus Christ spoke of the need for disciples who would have eyes to see and ears to hear. Will you be a disciple who has your eyes and ears open to the need for the restoration of the Church? The Church is in desperate need of restoration, and one of the main reasons is that her ministers and members have strayed from rightly dividing the Word of God. The failure to rightly divide God's Word of truth has produced a Church that is divided by traditions and interpretations, rather than being unified in faith. I cannot over emphasize the seriousness of this problem! It is a major problem that must be corrected; otherwise, restoration is impossible. Without restoration, the Church cannot fulfill God's plans for her on earth. Anyone or anything that hinders God's plans for earth opens the door for the devil's plans for earth.

Do I have your attention?
Are your eyes and ears open? The mind of many is so cloudy with other things that they can't focus or understand. The attention span of others is so short they may not have gotten to this point. Those two groups are part of the problem. Our prayer is that you have ears to hear and eyes to see and that others will join with you to be part of the solution.

Correcting the Course
How do we begin correcting the course of the Church? How do we change the present state of the over all Church? How do we get her on the right course? An important step towards correction of the Church is the recognition and acknowledgement of when and how she got off course. When and how did all of this start? A close study of the New Covenant (Testament) reveals two important things concerning our need. First is revealed the importance of the Church being washed and sanctified by God’s Word of truth (John 17:17 and Ephesians 5:26). Next is revealed that the devil will do anything necessary to cause people to not be washed and sanctified by God’s Word of truth. The devil began sending his ministers disguised as ministers of righteousness early on in the Church to lead her in the wrong direction. Rather than resisting him and his false words and holding fast to the truth many have bought into error of some kind or another. Many have added to and taken away from the Word of God.

Over the centuries, countless individuals and groups have come together and spawned various man made Christian traditions and private interpretations of Scripture resulting in vast numbers of churches and denominations who call themselves Christian, but in fact are divided from one another because they have not been washed and sanctified in truth. The devil messed up the Garden of Eden and he has worked hard to mess up the Church. It is time to boot him, his ministers, his traditions, and his private interpretations out of the Church. It is time to correct the course!
