******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******
I am finding it very interesting that so many Christians do not stand up for their beliefs or their convictions. Or we are willing to stand up as long as it does not cost us much. We have a tendency to use statements like, "Separation of church and state" and "I don't want to push my beliefs" when it is convenient and we no longer want to stand.
I was personally worried about putting a John McCain bumper sticker on my car, for fear that someone may vandalize it.
God instantly convicted me of the fact that I was more worried about a worldly possession than I was about an eternal one.
That I was more worried about a car than the legacy I would hand down to my children.
Does a bumper sticker do that? Maybe, maybe not. I will tell you what will not help, doing nothing!
Just believing something in your heart but doing nothing about it, does not make an impact. For far too long Christians have felt that they can simply pray their way out of circumstances. That is not Biblical, Prayer requires action. And that action typically starts with sacrifice.
Recently I was talking with a Christian who differs with me on politics and me sharing my opinion publicly, first they said "it offends them!"
WAKE UP CALL – My God Is OFFENSIVE to SIN – Unrighteousness - Darkness!
God has not called us to be Christians that TIPTOE around the world but Christians who INVADE THE WORLD!
We do not make concessions with darkness! We do not agree to co-exist. We make statements like – THERE is ONE GOD! Every Knee will bow and Every Tongue will confess! WILL. No if ands or buts about it!
That is offensive!
They also pointed out the economic differences between the parties, and how they feel Christians should be more economically minded.
I have no problem with that – BUT – I will not sacrifice righteousness for economics!
I will not sacrifice the RIGHT TO LIFE so that more Americans have another CAR!
I will not sacrifice the right to life so that more Americans can go on holiday!
I will not sacrifice marriage between a man and woman so that more Americans can live on my hard earned tax money.
At some point we must be willing to sacrifice so that the generation to follow us does not believe that the lies of the devil are to be accepted as normal!
RIGHTEOUSNESS is not negotiable!
Christians – it is time to make some NOISE!
Let us stir fellow believers to stand on the word of GOD! And to choose righteousness over what some consider convenient living!
Let us not be afraid – it is only LIFE we would be losing???? Does that not concern us!
And let us not be satisfied with JUST PRAYER! Prayer is important, Vital, a must!
But let us also have bumper stickers, yard signs, buttons!
Let us stir others in conversation, let us agitate the enemy (satan) by taking a stand, and let us see the promises of God come down!
I hope it bothers you to action
I'm just saying…..
