Christians and Pearl Harbor

It will be easy to misunderstand and/or be offended by this but the greatest hindrance to spiritual maturity and unity in the Church is the Church herself. One absolutely necessary solution will be that each Christian determines to know Jesus intimately and His Word thoroughly and makes good on that determination.
(12/10/2010)

On this Pearl Harbor Day, most Christians either do not comprehend, or do not comprehend with urgency, the severity of things taking place, not only in the world but in many parts of the Church. Why? The two main culprits are carnal distractions and lack of spiritual maturity. Distractions keep people occupied, and the lack of spiritual maturity keeps them bound to private interpretations and traditions of men that are found in most parts of the Church. It would be very beneficial to intently study the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13 and Luke 8) and the basic doctrines of the Word found in Hebrews 5:12-6:2.

God is sending His prophets to call the Church to wake up, but few are listening because they are distracted and/or will not recognize the God-sent prophets as being prophets of God. Their distractions are not only with things of the world but with spiritual things. They either don’t believe in prophets or have been trained not to listen to voices beyond their spiritual group or heritage. Unless the Church (true disciples) wakes up, coming events for us, or our children and grandchildren, will make Pearl Harbor pale in comparison.

We need real and lasting revival. Revival will begin when true disciples yield to the Lordship of Jesus Christ! How many disciples understand the urgent need for a faithful remnant Church to be restored to Jesus Christ and His rightly-divided Word of truth? This would automatically bring about a unified Church (John 17) who would be true salt and light on this earth. United we stand; divided we can't keep from falling. Let’s wake up, repent, unite and having done all stand for Jesus Christ.
