The Church is in a State of Emergency; it's Called COMPLACENCY!
{Complacency: A feeling of contentment or self-satisfaction, especially when coupled with an unawareness of danger, trouble, or controversy.}
From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and on the third day, be raised. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This shall never happen to you.”But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. What will profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? Mathew 16:21-22
It's getting a lot harder for many to make a valid connection with discernible sent ones, the apostles of Christ.
A born-again believer is the number one target of the enemy! We are the greatest threat to his Antichrist agenda!
Satan and his fallen angels are intelligent beings. "the warfare" isn't just physical attacks, divorce, or financial demise. It's deceiving Christians that the things of man are more important than the things of God!
The things of man are about preserving your own life more than doing the will of God!
The things of man: family, friends, prosperity, reputation, success, and even fame are more important than taking up your cross, following Jesus wholeheartedly, and doing His specific will for your life!
The warfare of caring more about the things of man than the will of God. This will leave many STUCK in pride, willful disobedience, compromise, and COMPLACENCY!
When your mind is set on the things of man, you are a stumbling block. Jesus will leave you behind - left out of His eternal purpose!
And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps governments, divers kinds of tongues.
1 Corinthians 12:28
His apostles are FIRST.
If you miss the apostles, you'll miss Jesus!
He is moving through them more significantly than any other fivefold ministry gift!
The apostles of Christ have a dual calling. They are sent to the Church and the UNBELIEVER! Even though the Church desperately needs the apostle. God is now moving His sent ones in position for the next harvest.
We have many impostors - false apostles in the Church. Or sent ones too entangled with the Church affairs and not the harvest field!
Apostles are not conference speakers; they are soul winners! They lead the way into the harvest field! Equipping and training people to reach the unsaved!
You must grab hold of the apostolic anointing to pull you out of Satan's strategy to keep you in a state of complacency and compromise!
We must be hot or cold! Lukewarm people are more complicated to convince; they are in great danger of apostasy and the judgment of a strong delusion!
The warfare is a TEST! How much do you want the will of God beyond your own choice and desires?
As a sent one, I see the strategy from hell, "caring about the things of man, more than the things of God," take out a lot of Christians from the will of God!
You can't argue with them. Their family, prosperity, and success must come first! They attend Churches that reinforce these lies! They'll use prophetic words, messages, and the scriptures to justify themselves!
Jesus never told His disciples to put those things first. He told them to put His will first even if it cost them family, success, and prosperity!
We must be willing to die if necessary for the cause of Christ!
Jeremiah, I have put you in charge of testing and refining my people. You will know how to test their ways. Jeremiah 6:27
Years ago, before God sent me to Hollywood, CA.
He said this to me. "If they love me, they are going to love you. Because I sent you."
These words have always been my plumb line to test the hearts of the people I have been sent to!
I can tell you right now. Not many passed the test!
In another divine moment. God said to me. "My presence surrounds you. People who want to get closer to Me will get closer to you."
I can tell you. I have witnessed people come and go! Very few have remained connected to me!
God sends His messengers to test the hearts of His people. Do you want to love God and His will, or use Him to get what you want?!
I was raised in the Lord; having His presence in my life and being obedient to His will is more important than anything in this life!
The state of many believers profoundly saddens me.
But God doesn't force us against our will!
Following Jesus has always been a CHOICE.
The saddest part is many believe God has told them - that the things of man are more important than the things of God and connecting to His apostles!
It makes sense why Jesus called out Satan in rebuking Peter. He had to make it clear. What he was thinking and saying came straight from the mouth of the liar! There is no truth in Satan.
He has used God said to deceive since the Garden of Eden!
If what God said doesn't align with picking up your cross and submitting to the will of the Father.
It's most likely a LIE to get you in a state of complacency.
The state of complacency is a STATE OF EMERGENCY for today's Church!
I will continue to send out warnings to the Church, and at the same time, I have great hope. I believe hundreds and thousands of unbelievers will follow Jesus, the Son of God, simply and wholeheartedly!
I will continue to prepare myself, others, and the way - dropping the nets for the greatest harvest of souls we have ever witnessed on the earth!
The Most High God has prepared a BRIDE for His Son.
It's going to get DONE!
