Correcting Spiritual Bents

I spent the last few days visiting my mother in Alabama. Early yesterday morning, I again was spoken to concerning the Church. Will the Church willingly wake up, repent, turn to the Lord and, united in faith, be salt and light, or will she have to experience very, very difficult things to wake her up?

Later, while driving back toward home, the Spirit of God quickened to me that one of the major problems with the Church is that there are “spiritual bents” within various parts of the Church. I recalled that iniquity has to do with being bent and that, in Psalm 51, David prayed concerning iniquity, sin, and transgressions.

Just as there are bents within people, there are bents within the Church. What are some of these bents? No more apostles and prophets; no more miracles; fleshly greed for things; busy, busy, busy. All of these and many more, especially disunity, are spiritual bents, and they are devastating the Church and preventing her from being salt and light to the world around her. O, who has ears to hear? Who? Who?

A short time later during my drive home, I heard a minister on the radio ministering that judgment begins at the house (Church) of the Lord. Thank God that some ministers are beginning to see and/or admit that the Church needs to repent. Too often rather than being a witness of the Lord to the world, the Church is behaving like the world. Many are busy, but their busyness is bent.

Early this morning, before daylight, the Spirit of God was again speaking to me concerning the Church. I know that we must have a faithful remnant united in faith with Jesus Christ and each other or there are going to be dire consequences. Some church goers, especially in America, are excited because of recent political happenings; others are into sports or any number of things, including church, family, work, hobbies, even charitable related events. Please, wake up! Our time is short! If enough true disciples wake up, the possibilities are limitless. If not, the pain will be great, grievous, and much of it unnecessary, personally and corporately.

Please, if you are serious about being a follower of Jesus Christ, pray and ask God to open your eyes to see what He wants you to see.
