Waking up to the Need for Spiritul Restoration


In America Providence has seen fit to mercifully grant us Christians a limited reprieve. We are to be thankful for the reprieve but at the same time realize that we cannot carry on with our status quo ways. We must have true and lasting humility and repentance that produces a church with Jesus Christ formed within, a church where all members are born again and work in the unity of faith with the realization that the required work can only be accomplished by being anointed with the Holy Spirit and power.

We must also realize that we have an adversary that is fast at work. He is fast at work right now! For example, while many preachers and teachers are sharing their theories about the coming Antichrist, the spirit of antichrist is already at work. It is not only at work in the world but is also at work against the church. That means against you and your family.  In the public it  works to oppose any and everything about Jesus and the church that He is building. But it doesn’t just work in the public sector. It invades the church. Wherever it finds opportunity within parts of the church it sets about establishing inroads that result in other gospels that picture another Jesus.

 While all of the above and more is going on, the spirit of the world is enticing those in the fields that are white for harvest by flaunting its materialistic and immoral ways while demanding that we not object. At present our adversary is doing quite well; the works of the devil are not only flourishing in the world but are gaining footholds within parts of the church evidenced  by more and more church leaders and their followers calling good evil and evil good.

We need spiritual restoration! As I have stated numerous times over the years the future freedom of Christians in America to worship and publicly proclaim Jesus and biblical truth depends on whether or not we experience spiritual restoration that leads to revival and awakening in America and beyond. I say that we have a cause! What say you?
