God did not call the world to be salt and light. He called
His people, believing Jews and Gentiles, to be salt and light to the world. He
did not call His people to be salt and light by their own might and power
(human abilities). He called them to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, to have
Jesus formed within, and to go about doing good, as Jesus did while He was on
earth (Acts 10: 38).
This country will continue to fall apart as long as the
Church in America is divided, immature and for the most part spiritually
impotent due to its various religious ways, doctrines and lack of true
spiritual character and power. There may
be temporary respites, but they will not last long! Jesus is making
intercession, and His eyes are looking for those who will awaken out of their
religious sleep. He is looking for those who will repent not only of their
fleshly ways but their religious ways. He is looking for those who will totally
depend on the power of the Holy Spirit and not their human abilities. He is
looking for those who will forsake their religious man-made doctrines and
beliefs and will become sanctified by His truth and His truth only.
Jesus will have a faithful remnant before He returns, but
the cost is going to be high until that faithful remnant comes forth in the
unity of the faith. Who will step up and not only forsake the ways of the world
but the ways of man’s religion and will follow Jesus and Jesus only? Then and
only then can one go about doing the good that is really needed.
We haven’t seen anything yet! The “anything yet” can go one of two ways. It
can go in the direction of devilish
storms that make anything seen presently seem minor, or it can go to a real
spiritual awakening, the likes of which this country has never seen. (I am
fully aware of earlier spiritual awakenings). If it goes to the latter, there
will be tremendous persecution but with great results that will glorify Jesus.
The persecution will be better in God’s eyes than reaping what we are presently
sowing, and it will be better than the devilish storms that are the only other
alternative.
