For we all know that God’s Word is His eternal Word, and was written no more for the men of old than it was written to us today. The I AM is ever present and has given us an understanding of what’s going on in the heart of man by the verse of 2nd Chronicles 7:14.
“If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land.”
Even though there are several names that folks call themselves, it is evident that He is speaking to Christians, therefore we should heed His direct Word as it is spoken. This ‘thing called church’, this empire that man has built with his own hands, and then had the nerve to call it Gods’ Church, is a far cry from that which Jesus said that He would build upon this Rock. It was not Peter that He would build upon, but the revelation through faith that was spoken through him. So is it hard to see that those that are called by His name has fallen far short, and is characterized as having wicked ways? Is it beyond our understanding that what we’re doing is substandard to praying or humbling ourselves, or seeking His face and Way, are we so wrapped up in the traditions of man that we have left our first Love? The answer is YES. The word ‘land’ has a far deeper meaning than the earth or our country, it means the individual; you and me.
Our ways are being called wicked, and it takes but little light to see through the façade of the ways of man, for flesh man is in his flesh, and God is Spirit, and a large gulf lies between the two. Exactly like the Sanhedrin were in the days of Jesus’ walk, we also are walking in the same carnal flesh and calling it of God, and it is not. If we want our own personal ‘land’ healed then we are to look far beyond these structures that are build upon the egos of what man thinks is right for God. When God said to ‘turn’, He meant to turn away from, to change our direction, seek Him instead of these silly programs that are meant to capture us to their self-serving platforms of the ego.
I could go on and on, but thought I’d put a little out there to chew on. This is not a bad time to turn from our wickedness, and then begin again for the first time to depend on our Father, our God, who all things that were created, were created for Him.
Read the “Unmasking a ‘church’ in Denial’ and maybe see for yourself what man is doing, or for that matter, what he not doing. Consider Jesus, He’s already considered each and every one of us.
