The State of the Chruch
THE STATE OF THE CHURCH
Lamentations 1:4,5
The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts; all her gates are desolate; her priests sigh; her virgins are afflicted and she is in bitterness.
All the earth is groaning with major pains of death all around.
The earth is swaying off its axis.
I have created in the beginning of time, that you will go out.
For you daughter are My servant, to proclaim the time is now at hand.
Teach me good judgement and knowledge; for I have believed thy commandments.
Psalm 119:66
The Lord executeth righteousness and judgement for all that are oppressed
Psalm 103:6
Many who come in the name of the LORD say untruth, and speak vanity.
It is I only, saith the LORD, to work thru them with My Word to do and to will in their lives. It is I, the LORD, who will help, and show them My ways. It is I who can change a heart.
Isaiah 22:5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord God of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.
The defenses of the Jerusalem, are stripped away, as the covering of the LORD is naught on the body of believers. Hearts are broken, with death echos, as many do not tend to the garden once in their care from the Master. Once a beautiful garden of joy in the Lord, now a garden of brokenness , as the stone now has become their heart. Plans to no avail, because you never ask God for help. He has planned long ago, His plans in His heart, and now, these plans are forgotten.
And in that day did the LORD GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth;
13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine; let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die.
14 And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of HOSTS, surely thi iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the LORD GOD of HOSTS Isaiah 22:12-14
O taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man that trusteth in Him
Psalm 34:8
Verse 14 Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
Many have tasted my goodness, mercy, and love. But now have taken the world in its promises to their heart. I long for their hearts to come back to Me, the Lord, the Maker of Heaven and earth. My creation whom I have created is taking the lies and eating the food of the enemy of their souls.
Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. Psalm 50:22
Come back to your first love, to the One who created you, whom loves you in an everlasting love that is eternal. Do not keep avoiding the Lord, in the ways I have shown you. For truly you my vessels, I long to help, and use you in the days ahead.
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me; and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God. Psalm 50:23
My chosen, let your mouths be filled with My Word, the essence of your whole being. Being in Me, is the fullness of Me. Come and let me hear your voice, speaking the oracles of Me, My Word. Your salvation is full in speaking who I AM, creating the new in the world to where I so ordain it to be created. Speak My Word to speak into being the newness of Me, for the will to be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Jeremiah 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
You have not looked like the image, I have created you to be in Me. Only through My Word will you be in the image of the Lord that I have created you to be.
Genesis 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
I long to be your God in everything in your life, and can fashion yet, all that I created you to be. Renounce your evil ways, and I will not destroy you, but rather, build you up into the nation you are meant, and called to be through the Lord. I will bless the nation that seeks and praises the Lord thy God. Renounce the evil ways of your forefathers, and rather look unto the Lord, the One, whom made heaven and earth.
Those whom turn from their own ways of the flesh, and turn unto the Lord the God of Israel will be blessed, and be a mighty nation. You, and your inhabitants, will be strong in the Lord. So seek the Lord and turn from your ways of flesh, and be wholly set apart unto the Lord your God, the one whom has set His hand upon you, and can deliver you from the ways of Egypt. Lo, I am with you, as you look only unto Me, says the Lord your God, whom has everlasting love, for you, from this time on, and for all eternity.
Your Father
