04/08/2009 Entry: "Urgent Message"

“Rend your HEART, not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God:for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness!!!!” Joel 2:13

CLICK HERE TO VIEW THIS "URGENT MESSAGE" in a video blog!!

The time is here! The time is NOW, for us to humble ourselves, repent, and seek the face of God on behalf of our families, our nation, Israel, the world! We have two options...Repentance or Judgement.

We have pointed the finger, and blamed Washington for far too long! We have marched to the drum of pride, and been seduced by our own reflection. We have even quoted scriptures in an attempt to justify our laziness, and mask the fact that we, are cowards.

It is TIME! It’s time to wake up! It’s time to ADMIT that we, the “church”, HAVE SINNED! WE, ARE GUITLY OF IDOLATRY! WE, HAVE OFFENDED GOD. We, have chased the golden calf! We, have built our own tower of Babel! We, have sacrificed our children on the alter of pleasure! We, have lied! We, have cheated! We, have been immoral! We have become the addicted. We, have abandoned honor!

If we do not repent, we will continue to reap what we have sown! Judgement will come to our nation, the likes of which we have never seen before! Why? Not because God is some “grim reaper” god, who thrives on raining down fire from heaven, shaking the earth with earthquakes, or pitching hurricanes onto land in order to satisfy some weird, sadistic pleasure.

No! Judgement comes when people refuse to listen to the MANY, MANY, MANY pleadings from God. Judgement comes as a direct result of OUR ACTIONS, OUR decisions, OUR SIN.

Yes, this email is much different than any other I’ve ever written...Why? First of all, understand, I am NOT the type of person that gets satisfaction out of finding every possible verse to support some “hell, fire, and damnation” message, so that I can stand on the street corner with a mega phone, and yell! That, is NOT the spirit of this email.

These words come from a heart that God has personally called to repent. He called me to RETURN TO MY FIRST LOVE, and I can’t help but share what I believe is the message for this hour...

This email is a call to anyone who will listen, whether you are ten years old or a hundred. It is a call to FAST AND PRAY, specifically from April 8th-April 11th. It is a call for us to set aside these days specifically to raise our voices, as ONE, and pray.

What is God asking for? He simply wants our hearts, our love.

If there is anything I have been learning about God lately...it’s that He is JUST! HE IS GOOD! HE IS MERCIFUL! HE IS KIND! You see, in the past few months, after having been in one the darkest wildernesses, I began to seek God in a way I NEVER had before. Why? Because I was a broken girl. I was worn out, and dying inside. In the wilderness of life, I began to run away from God, instead of to Him. It was only when I hit rock bottom, that I looked up. I would either seek Him, or die in the desert. It was then that I opened my Bible, and began to read it, as if it was the very FIRST time. Do you know what I found? I found God.

How crazy does that sound? It’s true. As I began to read the Old Testament, I realized I had some misconceptions about who God even is....I had somehow labeled the God of the Old Testament as cool, when He’d miraculously move, but there was another aspect I couldn’t understand...He seemed violent, and almost seemed to have a bipolar opposite personality than Jesus. The more I’ve read the Old Testament, all in context, I have found a God who is “the same yesterday, today, and forever!” I found a God who is LONG SUFFERING, KIND, GENTLE, LOVING, and INSANELY PASSIONATE ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH MANKIND...What I found was so refreshing....

Yes, I found judgement, but I found JUSTICE. God is NOT ruthless! You see, I found God, the creator...He would call humanity to turn from their sin, and when they did....do you know what He would do? He would bless them, not only physically, but emotionally and spiritually! He even blessed their land, earth. I found a God who spent years calling a generation, and after MUCH calling, when the people’s sin had turned to decadence, then, He brought severe judgement...when they were sacrificing their babies on alters, when lust had consumed them so thoroughly that they acted like beast, when the children became their sex slaves, when violence covered their land without reproof, when justice was forsaken, when the blood of the innocent filled their city streets...and you know what???? Even then, HE STILL CALLED THE PEOPLE TO REPENT! HE STILL LOVED THEM! HE STILL WANTED TO RESTORE THEM, but they CHOSE to crown Decadence and Pleasure as King!

The Bible says “His mercies are new and fresh every morning!” What a promise! So here we stand, as a nation, at a decision...We can choose life or death. The choice is ours, and if we choose rebellion, we cannot then turn and yell at God when severe judgement does come....it will be due to OUR DECISIONS, NOT GODS!!! RESTORATION IS HIS HEART!!!

We need revival! We need a move of God! We need a HEART CHANGE! That is something ONLY our Creator can give! I don’t believe revival will come as a result of bigger, cooler “incognito” church buildings with bigger plasma screens, more fashion savvy church leaders, more trendy worship tunes, or when our modified youth room has its very own Starbucks coffee machine...no....it is...

“When my people, who are called by My name will HUMBLE THEMSELVES and PRAY, and seek my face, and TURN from their WICKED ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and heal their land”II Chronicles 7:14
