A Sense of Urgency

The Church lacks a sense of urgency.

One of my gravest concerns for the mainstream church is our apathy and indifference towards the things of God and the signs of the times. There are things happening in this nation that ought to have the people of God outraged. 

This whole situation with Bruce Jenner and the gender-identity crisis grieves my heart; but not more than it grieves the Heart of God. I recently received a report that ESPN plans to award Bruce Jenner for his courage in this issue. If this report is true and ESPN follows through with this, I will have to subsequently boycott them and not watch their network anymore. I can't support a company that openly supports and celebrates perversion and confusion. But where is the voice of the church? Why don't we hear more spiritual leaders in America rising up with the authority and influence that God has providentially given them, and speak out on issues like these that we know grieve the Heart of the Father? It's because the church lacks a sense of urgency. 

We, too, have fallen victim to the dormant spiritual slumber that has affected and infected this nation. We too, even though our souls are covered by the Blood of Jesus, have allowed the Evil One to blind our minds to the truth and the urgency of the hour (2 Corinthians 4). Saints, let me make this as clear as I can; if something doesn't happen to turn America around, you're going to see this country in a shape that you've never witnessed before. 

A prophet of God made a declaration at the end of 2011, stating that God had told him to put together a 15,000 member Prayer Force to turn around the judgments that were set for America.

We can no longer afford to be laid back in our faith. We can no longer afford to "go with the flow." We can no longer sit idly by and think that we can't make a difference. Yes we can! We not only can make a difference we must make a difference. I challenge every believer who witnesses this blog to renew your commitment and devotion to the Lord. 

As we prepare to move into the Summer Season, let the Holy Spirit lead you and guide you in the paths that God has ordained for your life. Those areas in which you know you are weak and are out of the Divine Will of God for your life, seek God for a spirit of repentance and conversion, that God will renew you in the spirit of your mind (Ephesians 4). Seek to become an even more devoted disciple of Christ. Stretch yourself even the more to be conformed to the image of Christ (Romans 8). I make this exhortation, Saints, because the hour is late. Play time is over. We must now approach this season with a sense of urgency.
