Draw Nigh

Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double-minded. -- Jam 4:8

I tell the workers at the pit here that God sees them. That He is not fooled by their deceitfulness. The children's blood covers them from their heads to their toes, and that is how He sees them.

The sad thing is it is also how He sees many who warm pews in this nation. We are covered in innocent baby blood, because we stood by silently while they were killed.

All week long I plead with mothers and workers alike. They laugh, but they also cover their ears and scurry inside. Some cover their faces; others, their license plates. So, tell me this: If killing little children is nothing to be ashamed of, why are they? They are because even their wicked hearts know that killing innocents is wrong.

Our government has taken a stand with wickedness. Many in the churches fell in line with that wickedness. Our guilt has risen to high heaven, and God is very wrathful. We should be afraid. We should be very afraid, but most do not have the sense to realize they are playing with something much more dangerous than fire. No, we play with extinction.

Like Noah's time we deserve to be eradicated. Like Sodom and Gomorrah we should expect to see hail fire and brimstone thrown at us. Sadly, many who call themselves His still expect Him to richly bless them. How deadly is their blindness!

Go out to the streets and preach the truth of God's coming wrath. Stand outside the pits of death and proclaim His word. The time is upon us when we will be called to answer for our silence. Don't you be caught having done nothing to turn those perishing back.

Come to the Battlefield of Life

I know some avoid conflict at all cost. They consider it a problem, and peace more important. Yet, we don't actually win wars without it. Many of our Biblical heroes embraced it. Samson, David, Elijah, Elisha, John the Baptist . . . even the Lord engaged the enemy. They did not run from conflict. No, they stood their ground. They said or did what had to be done.

It takes warriors to fight battles, and we are at war for the heart of this nation. Do I advocate violence? No, not violence, but the conversation you're avoiding must be had. The truth must be shared. It will cause some to get angry, and some to leave you; but God will be honored and glorified.

So, the real question is: Is your peace more important to you than God? Whom would you please? If God, come to the battlefield. Come, be His light in this darkness. If not, then your peace is delusional. It will not last. It cannot, because true peace is from God, and He calls us to work in His fields.

Then saith He to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth laborers into His harvest." Mat 9:37, 38

Pew-Warming?

If the LORD stood before you, and gave you a job; how well would you do it? You would give it your all, or would you piddle with it, or worse, wait for someone else to do it?

The truth is that many have been called to fight the abortion fight, but few have answered. There are even several who God caused to hear the children's cries. Yet, most of those do not go out to plead their case. Many who were called went for a time, then quit and come no more. Others, who were not called directly by God, have known they, too, were obligated; but they did not go, either.

It is hard work. It is sad work. It is dangerous work. It takes real effort, real prayer time, real dedication; but the children ARE dying. They are innocent, but the nation that can ignore their cries isn't. No, that nation is filled with people who's hearts are hardened like stones. Sadly, such is the organized church in the US today; because they are too comfortable in their pews to bother showing up at the abortuaries where children desperately need their help.

Are you a pew-warmer? What will you say to God when He asks you, "What did you do to end the shedding of innocent blood?"

Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor will also cry himself and not be heard. Pro 21:12

It's a Lack of Faith

Do you stand against an entire movement based solely on their failure to get everything right? Do you bash innocent people merely because of the group they identify with? No?

Such is the attitude of some in the "Abolitionist" movement. They attempt to hijack the term "pro-life", treating it as a blight on society, because some failed to be 100% prolife without exceptions.
So, all the babies saved, all the mothers helped, all repentant clinic workers/abortionists should do w...hat? Rue the day those loathsome creatures (pro-lifers) were there for them? Really?

Some say Christians are the only ones who will eat their own. From where I'm sitting that sounds about right. You're feasting on those you should be working with. You're creating divisions, unnecessary ones, and making the devil proud.

Come against the failing. Come against the mistakes. Plead with them. If they don't listen, then pray for them. To attack them as though every single one of them failed to do anything worthy is ridiculous! Yes, we must be prolife without exception, but you better remember this:

Too few come to the pits to plead for lives as it is. It is difficult, dangerous, and frequently thankless work. Thousands of hours and great sacrifice go into it. Most who work do so out of their own pockets, against the wishes of family members, and under constant opposition from authorities. Do you really want to make it harder? Do you really think it good to make them feel less appreciated? Can you be at every clinic, everyday yourself?

Stand for the truth. I'll applaud you for that, but stop kicking the workers. Offer an olive branch instead. Most pro-lifers I know are against exceptions, they just need leaders who believe it's possible. Now, there's your real problem, because far too many leaders never honestly believed God was capable of ending this nightmare. That's why they were willing to settle for less in the first place.

Is Divorce Sin?

And the Pharisees came to Him and asked Him, "Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?' tempting Him.

And He answered and said unto them, "What did Moses command you?"

And they said, "Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away."

And Yeshua answered and said unto them, "For the HARDNESS of your heart he wrote you this precept." Mar 10:2-5

Take care that your heart not be so hardened that it lead you to sin. Divorce usually leads to adultery, because we are not free to marry another by God's law unless our spouse has died.

And in the house His disciples asked Him again of the same matter. And He said unto them, "Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. Mar 10:10-12

But today, we say divorce is nothing; then we wonder how God could be angry with us.

Shocking Word from God

For the past two nights I have encountered a strong angel in my living room. It’s been quite startling, because they usually watch from the shadows. This one has been insistent, almost pushy. He was so insistent the first night that I dropped to my knees before him and began to pray. Last night, after considering how he has been, I went back into the living room and rebuked him, “Saying IF you are here for God, then His will be done; but IF you are not His, then back to the p...it with you, for I am His and I have the authority to send you back.” (He didn’t leave.) This morning the LORD gave me this word:

Does God ever get tired of repentance? Does He ever abandon us to the sin we love?

Then said the LORD unto me, “Though Moses and Samuel stood before Me, yet My mind could not be toward this people. Cast them out of My sight, and let them go forth.”

And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, ‘Whither shall we go forth?’ then thou shalt them, “Thus saith the LORD, ‘Such as for death, to death; and such as for the sword, to the sword; and such as for the famine, to the famine; and such as for the captivity, to the captivity.’” Jer 15:1, 2

“For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? Or who shall bemoan thee? Or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?”

“Thou hast forsaken Me,” saith the LORD. “Thou art gone backward. Therefore will I stretch forth My hand against thee, and destroy thee. I am weary with repenting.”

“And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land. I will bereave them of children. I will destroy My people, since they return not from their ways.” Jer 15:5-7

Yes, God wearies of repentance that is of word, but not action. As a nation, that is exactly what we have done. We elected a man to make us “great again” who will not end the slaughter of innocents, and intends to keep the perversions instilled by the last administrations. In short, we chose our god of wealth and comfort; rather than, the true holiness of God. Yet, most still expect this to end in our restoration.

God does not change. There is no greatness without Him.

“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.” Rev 3:15, 16

There is Real Power in His Word

So, I went out to the pit today, and opened my mouth to preach. My son was with me, and I noticed a rather disturbed look on his face as I spoke. When I finished the message, and we turned to leave, I asked him why he was so upset.

He said, "Sometimes, when you preach, it feels like the ground moves. Sometimes, I think it's going to open up, and swallow this place. It's like it (the ground) is just waiting for you to give the order, so it can open up. When you get intense, things react! You're not going to do that, are you? 'Cause I really think it would jump at your command!"

Hmmmmm . . . yes, God's word is earth-shaking. The very atoms that make up everything vibrate with His power. They stand at attention when He speaks. I've seen it more than once in my life, and it is truly amazing. I, also, know that His power wells up inside me when I give myself over to Him, that spiritual and physical things react strongly -- especially those inside.

We have had so many false or quasi-spiritual leaders for so long that many do not even realize there actually is power in God's word. Real power. We can tell the mountain to get up and move, and the mountain knows it. Apparently, so does anyone who's paying attention.
