Because we have been hearing God is soon to come, or judgment is coming and we do not see, we think we have more time than we really do, or that it's not true. All I can do is be obedient to the Lord, and in doing so I have lost "so call friends", I have had leaders come against me, I have had my name slander, and through it all: For God I live and for God I die, I will not compromise the Word of God. I am held accountable if I do not deliver what thus said the Lord, once I deliver it, it's up to people on what they do with it:
EZEKIEL 33:1-7(read)
God never intended for the pulpit to be a place for people to go off on.The churches have gotten so far away from God, that souls are no longer being saved. The church is looking at the outer appearance and not taking the time to see the inside, so busy looking at the wants not taking the time to see the needs. God's judgment has come to the house of God. Why is it that when we were in the world we had a BOLDNESS, now we may not have used it in the right way, but their was a BOLDNESS, and then we get saved, and no longer have a backbone. Some of us are guilty for sitting in church day after day, month after month, year after year, and seeing the hurt that goes on, and do nothing about it. How is it that God has given us all this power but we won't utilize it, yet in the world it only took a minute before we reacted. Now I know what the Word says, I am not saying we are to act foolish, or disrespect, or out of order; I am asking how come none of the season saints open their mouth? Not behind closed doors, not after the fact, but how come leadership sits back why leadership is acting up in the house of God? I know so many people who have been so hurt by the church that they no longer want to ever go back. We are loosing souls, because we won't speak out. I use to be guilty of this, because there were times that I did not speak out, but God is calling us higher, and He is calling for accountability, and we will be judge for our works, rather they are good or bad. God had to change my way of thinking, the enemy will tell you to shut your mouth, and try and place you in bondage in the house of God, but the devil is a liar and the truth in not in him, see if we don't start opening our mouth and stop pacifying that sin, God is going to deal with us. Although God gives us mercy and grace, there's a penalty when you do not obey. We all have to give an account one day for what we did and did not do. How many people could you have saved if you would have opened your mouth? Enough is enough and to much is to much, and it is time to stand fast in the Word of God. Those of us who have been saved for years, God said go back to when you first got saved, how you was on fire for the Lord. Get in a relationship with Him, and do not get caught up in tradition. My soul it tired from within and I have asked God for rest.
EZEKIEL 3:22-27
And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.
Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face.
Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, Go shut thyself within thine house.
But, thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and they shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:
And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.
But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth let him forbear; for they are a rebellious house.
