Good morning people of God. It’s 2:42am and I cannot sleep. My heart is hurting because of all the confusion in the world, especially the confusion of my sisters and brothers supposedly in Christ. I dare not separate myself from the confused saints of God because it is us, the so-called people of God, the ones who have been called by His name to teach the gospel, the unadulterated truth, boldly and unashamed that have caused the people to err. I can easily say, “Well, the word says in the end there will be perilous times and the love of many shall wax cold!” As true as this statement is, today that’s a cop out, period.
So many people I love, who spend days in church, years quoting what they ‘think’ they read in His word are so horribly wrong. Where did we miss Him? Why are so many of us confused? People I love and respect dearly are on the verge of blasphemy and are clueless of the danger. I have a family member so dear to my heart who is so blind yet they truly think they are safe from Hell’s fire because some unlearned and unwilling to learn preacher never teacher keeps them blind because he refuses to grow.
The time is now saints. It’s truly time to know God. The foundation is reading His word daily, meditating on it day and night (Psalms 1:2), but that’s only the foundation. It’s time to build upon that! Who deceived us into thinking what we read five, ten, thirty years ago is still relevant today? The word says: It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings to search out a matter (Proverbs 25:2). If you read a verse in the bible 10 years ago, I dare say 10 days ago READ IT AGAIN I guarantee if you are seeking to know God He has more knowledge and revelation today in that same verse than He had just a few minutes ago! Our limited minds cannot comprehend God by still living off something we thought He said in His word the first time we read it! His word says: For the word of God is LIVING and POWERFUL and SHARPER than any two-edged sword, PIERCING even to the division of SOUL and SPIRIT, and of joints and marrow, and is a DISCERNER of the THOUGHTS and INTENTS of the heart. And there is NO creature HIDDEN from His sight, but ALL things are NAKED and OPEN to the eyes of Him to whom WE MUST GIVE AN ACCOUNT. (Hebrews 4:12-13) Those two verses should put the fear of God in us. But hey, do most of us who claim we know God even comprehend those scriptures? I boldly say, “NO!” Why? Because I am witnessing too many of us living like infidels over yesterday’s word. Rejoicing over something we learned five minutes ago, when God’s word is living not dead and definitely not in the same state you thought it was yesterday.
My heart is bleeding this morning because I love us, the people of God, but one day we will have to give an account to God, ALONE. And I would hate to be that one standing before a righteous, holy, God saying, “Well, God You know my heart.” And He replies, “Yes, …The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it? I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.” (Jeremiah 17:9-10)
Let your doings be according to what He says you should be doing. Remember God said: ‘For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth So are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:10) and He said: Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he UNDERSTANDS and KNOWS ME. That I AM the Lord, exercising loving-kindness, judgment and righteousness in the earth, For in these I delight.” says the Lord (Jeremiah 9:23-24)
So I ask you, do you really Know God? Be true to yourself then get to know Him, for His return is near and He’s coming back for a perfected Church: …That He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy without blemish. (Ephesians 5:26-27)
It’s time to Know God. I love you.
