It’s very sad to see how institutionalized our church services have become. Our church usually has holds corporate prayer meetings once a week, and I never fail hearing the same phrases, “God, send us people so we can minister to them,” and “ God, let a fire begin in our city." Last week our pastor and others mentioned that in our prayer circle of 15 individuals. As I stood there, God gave me a word to say, but I held back because I needed more confirmation. My prayer has always been, “God, don’t let me mistake my thoughts as your words.” As we kneeled to pray, God cleared my mind and gave me scripture out of nowhere, and there I received confirmation. As I concluded our prayer meeting, my pastor asked if I had anything to say. I began to speak and say:
God gave me a word and I want to start off with the scripture He gave me as I knelt. I read -
Matthew 9:38, Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” We want our church to grow, and you have asked God to send you people so you can witness to them. However, if you read through the scriptures, Jesus sent his apostles in pairs to proclaim Jesus. We also read where Jesus said in
Mark 16;15 - “go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” We also read in the bible where the women swept the kitchen looking for that ONE coin (soul). It has never been God’s will to send people to us. He didn’t save us to bring people to us, rather, he saved us and told us to “GO” to the people. You must go out and reach for the sinner rather than them coming to you, which is what you desire. You ask for a fire, but the size of the fire will only be determined by the amount of fuel you contribute.
After speaking that, it became silent and the pastor said we accept that, and thereafter said, “anyways, let end this meeting.” People like hearing themselves speak about how much they want to accomplish for God’s kingdom, but it’s all talk. They’ve become engulfed in this dogma and are simply satisfied talking about it. You ask you know not what. People think that they’re advancing in God’s kingdom, but if you could see with your spiritual eyes, you would realize that they're just surviving rather then advancing. They can’t notice the difference!
I would like your input on the following. I remember God have me something, and I believe I know what it signifies. Nevertheless, your input and prayers would be appreciated.
I stood on a balcony in a room and overlooked the room. Below me laid a deceased women in a casket, and surrounding her casket were a few hundred men wearing suits, and some were weeping. A voice then spoke to me and said, “these are religious men.” All of a sudden the women and the casket disappeared from the center of the room below me and reappeared on the balcony near me, positioned upward at an angle. The casket was open and I could see the dead women. I then began to raise my hands and call on God, and breath entered the dead women and she began to revive.”
Only that was given to me. I’ve asked God about that situation, but I’m still unsure, mainly due to certain situations. What saith the forum?
