Re: [revival-fire] SFO Judgement Questions

******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******    

In God's heart mercy always triumphs over judgment - He's truly willing none should perish, but all should come to repentance; turning from our way to His.  Pastor Matt said it this morning in his timely message that sin is sin - it's just that some of the sin we see in SF shocks our moral conscience. 

Whereby but for the GRACE of God go I - for many years I chose to dwell in darkness; but wow, God saved me just like the prodigal that wasn't even worthy to be His servant; but rather Jesus came and clothed me in His royal garment - my filthy rags in exchange. 

Several years ago I regularly ministered on the streets of SF with Bob Johnson's City Ministries Int'l, that still invades the city's darkness - I'm sure his testimonies of salvations, healings and deliverances continues today. 

Matt said it, it's our job as God's army to ''occupy until He comes" - occupation is an extreme form of aggression, another way to keep the enemy where he belongs - under our feet - ''when the Kingsdom of God suffers violence, the violent will take it by force."  We're the Bride, spotless and white, but until He comes we wear army boots under our bridal gown!

In Ezekiel God destroyed the land and later lamented that He was just waiting for someone to stand in the gap and intercede - remember the old song ''I left my heart in San Francisco?''  So did God, it's His heart to save it and sometimes His hand doesn't move or refrain from moving unless His people PRAY...

******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******      

If the prophetic word was given for the destruction of SFO then so be it, but if it was given to test the hearts of his people, to see if we will rise up and stand in the gap and get busy weeping, crying out, interceding for God to change His mind then this would be a more biblical approach and portray more of God's heart in this situation. No body's saying that the prophetic word didn't come from God, I think all we are saying (and there are many of us) is just because God says He's sick of sin and depautury and is ready to destroy the city now, we need to ask Him first these questions like God's friends Moses and Abraham:   1. God, if you do this, how's this going to make you look? Isn't it your kindness that leads people to repentance? Or does that only apply when we're "sucking it up" and living good lives for you? Moses offered his own life up before He would let God destroy the people. Are we willing to do that? NOW THAT WOULD BE BIBLICAL!   2. God, how about if we can prove to you that there are 50 righteous people, then will you spare SFO? If He said yes for Abraham then why won't he say yes to us?   3. God, what about the blood of your son.  You poured ALL your wrath upon Him on the cross. Was that just temporary? Are you so full of wrath again that even though we are standing in the gap, pleading the blood over our cities regardless of how wicked they are, are you going to move into destruction mode again?   4. God, you've pleaded for us to "stand in the gap" and here we are. Does that not matter any more? If you're bent on the destruction of the wicked (and the righteous - since we dwell together) then do you need me anymore? Maybe you don't need me anymore.  If you destroy your righteous ones too how's that going to give you much GLORY! I thought you wanted to use us to shine your GLORY upon your whole earth?   So, is God tired of sin and blasphemy against His Son? Yea, probablly, but HE is still Love, Joy ,Peace, Patient, Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness, Faithfulness and is the epitamy of Self control. If He requires me to live that way, through the fruit of His Spirit towards my brothers and sisters AND don't forget...MY ENEMIES....then why would HE decide to be any different?   How about if we stop debating the prophetic word and start seeking the Lord to hold off on destroying the wicked cities of the earth. Let's ask him to hold off on destruction and instead pour out dreams, visions, revelations into the hearts of the wicked. If His KINDNESS leads us to repentance then how about if we pray for God to pour out more of His KINDNESS upon the wicked in ways they will understand His LOVE. After all JESUS IS THE DESIRE OF THE NATIONS. He's also the DESIRE OF SFO, they just don't know it yet. Let's ask God  and put a heart of travail into His own people to be changed more into His image so those that are in rebellion will see our GOOD works and GLORIFY our FATHER IN HEAVEN!   Please GOD don't destroy SFO at least NOT ON MY WATCH!!    Wendi Let the Sound of His Spirit be the Gift that enCircles all your Highways and Spheres of Influence!
