[revival-fire] Grace, Grace, Grace, Grace, Grace - A Lovely Response to Judgment

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

To all who read the recent post on the Judgment of CA and San Francisco, let me give a Biblical response.

First, it does not take a prophetic word to know that God is going to judge the cities of this world, it says so in the Bible.  It does not take a booming voice from God to know that He abhors sin, it says so in the Bible.  It does not take divine revelation to know that there is a day of judgment coming, it only takes two eyes and the good book.

            What it does take, when God gives us words like these is MATURITY, and the Heart of God, called INTERCESSION!

If you are willing to SAY it, then you better be willing to move there and DO SOMEHTING ABOUT IT!

San Francisco is always compared to Sodom and Gomorrah, yet we forget that God longed to spare that city and Abraham was interceding on behalf of it.  What is intercession?  Praying Gods heart.

God is in Love with San Fran, not with the city, but with the people, what He hates is the sin. 

We could say the same thing with the church and those discussions we have been having lately.  He loves the church, not the structure of the programs, but the people.  And He hates the sin, but the people have destiny.

Instead of running from the church, transform it!

Instead of dooming San Francisco, Transform it!

It does not take a prophet to doom – any fool can utter words of Judgment!

It takes a person of God to SHINE – YOU are the LIGHT of the WORLD – SHINE!

Light overtakes the darkness.  Light brings revelation.  Light is TRUTH!

All things that San Francisco and the CHURCH are in need of right now.

Is San Francisco hanging in the balance of being judged?  All parts of this great earth are!  That is why we need to GO, and pray the promises of God – that HIS glory covers the WHOLE earth, and then BRING THAT GLORY DOWN!

We don't need "just Intercessors" for this.  What we need are Christians who are simply following the word of God and "Pray without ceasing"  and pray the heart of GOD!

Am I worried about the West Coast?  NO – cause I live there and I am seeing the Glory of God moving right now!

Am I worried about San Francisco?  NO – Cause we support and are involved with many ministries that are making a difference there RIGHT NOW!

What I am worried about is Christians who continue to heap judgment instead of standing and making a difference.

Who received the greater Judgment, Sodom and Gomorrah or Lott and His wife who were supposed to be making a difference and did nothing.

Do not forget Christians, we are held accountable for what we do, and do not do.  Pointing out sin was easy, Judging others is easy, that is why we are told not to do it – but seeking and saving the lost…..that is our mandate…

Alright

If you read all of that – you are a RADICAL

If you have questions – feel free to email – as it is not the entirety of what I am saying – but the short version.

Stay blessed and let's change the world and SHINE

In Christ
