Indictment Against The American Church
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now (THEN and ONLY Then) mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
1. On May 2, 2017, almost as soon as he had gotten settled into The Oval Office, President Trump signed an executive order releasing churches from threat of financial duress due to political speech. Yet, by and large the church in America remained silent concerning the evil machinations taking place in the political arena. That silence has resulted in the overthrow of Constitutional government in America and the freedoms the church has enjoyed from the founding of The United States of America.
2. In 1954 the American church in its lust for financial gain accepted without comment the Johnson Amendment which muzzled the church’s free speech in exchange for tax free status. Thus, choosing million-dollar mortgages over speaking the truth diligently. (Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing)
3. You have become rote vessels of business as usual. You have your patterns of what you call worship but seldom actually invite The Holy Spirit to take over. In fact, you have orchestrated everything possible so that The Spirit of God is not even willing to break out among you, much less come in as the Gentle Healing Dove He desires to be to His people. You sing three songs, take an offering, and share a bless-me sermon and everyone gets to go home feeling justified in their own minds. You accept large crowds, and full offering plates as proof of your spiritual prowess. (knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.)
4. You have failed to recognize, appreciate and have taken for granted the Country I placed you in, and the liberty you’ve had therein. And, you have failed to realize that its government, originally ordained by Jehovah could be compromised by your silence and inaction. You have sat in Grace so long you have no concept of how swift, how sure and how terrible The Lord’s Discipline is or will be.
The church as a whole in America must answer to these charges, and that swiftly, before His final Gavel Falls.
